(28,079 posts)but I'm beginning to wish the mob had gotten their hands on Graham, Cruz, Hawley, or Rubio. Those smug SOBs sit there making a big deal of ignoring the evidence and thinking the insurrectionists were their friends. They aren't smart enough to afraid of a mob in a frenzy.

(7,901 posts)They believe that power belongs to those willing to take it by any means available and willing to use it to perpetuate that power. They may be in Trump's shadow for now but they can't wait to try it on for themselves.

they are stupid to gamble with their lives that way. I think they would have hurt them, live on their cell phones.

These aren't the brightest bulbs when they're not in a mindless rage.

(7,809 posts)There are more than 500 members of both houses of Congress. You can't count on every one of the hundreds of rabid rioters to recognize every member.
I think that could be the quote of the day for some of the rethugs whose lips aren't that tightly sealed to the orange ass.

(21,487 posts)However, the mob did know what their "enemies" looked like. I think they might have known a few of their most prominent friends, which is who we're talking about.

(2,650 posts)I did see the video of insurrectionists in the Senate chamber looking at the ledger and saying that ABOUT him, though one of the yahoos was confused on that point. But he was in hiding at that time.
Misinformation spreads like a virus, so I like to make sure when possible.
I will gladly admit if I was wrong, though.

(2,336 posts)Most of the violence, IMO, was caused by anti-govt people. tRump just gave them permission to act.

These Qpublican morans are too stupid to grasp that.

Ford_Prefect
(7,901 posts)He clearly wanted congress to succumb to the crowd he sent there. Hence the delays built into the commands withholding the national guard and the way that was arranged, including the direct orders regarding how they were to be equipped, and distributed.

(22,877 posts)His loyal troops are starting to turn on him.. the withholding the guard with all those people trying to contact him should end him up in prison time..
