The Insurrectionists' Defense

[Jon Fogerty]

One of the arrested alleged terrorist's lawyer claim innocence because “The president and the Capitol police encouraged despicable behavior”. Part of me is laughing over them blaming others for their actions (ie. the party of personal responsibility, etc.), HOWEVER, I would also love to hear every single one of these traitors, one by one, in Federal court, under oath, on the record, declare that they invaded the Capitol in order to subvert the function of the United States government because 45 told them so. The rest of the country and the world needs to have all this written in future historical references and legal documents that these seditionists did so under the orders of one Donald J. Trump.

1. I keep scanning photos from the day of insurrection looking for my brother

I would be surprised if he wasn't there.
5 years ago, he was ready to come across the family dinner table to fight me over his loyalty to trump.

I have not spoken to him since, had to unfriend him on FB and don't know what he is up to.

2. Many of the Congress people were trying to blame the incident

On the BLM riots, as if one excused the other. The argument is so lame that it is incredible to me that an adult would offer it.

5. No less cogent than 99% of RW arguments out there.

Mostly free of facts & logic. Pathetic.

3. And now Trump is saying he didn't tell them to do it.

That he didn't like that they did it.

4. The live in a lie based counter reality. By they I mean the GOP and their ministry of propaganda.

How they get so many to blindly follow their bullshit is unexplainable.
