Impeachment manager Madeline Dean's compelling case today made it clear that when ** told the mob 20X to fight January 6th, all that was left to fight was the election certification.
The election had passed, the state certifications were done...campaigning was over.
There is no democratic or nonviolent way to fight certification within hours of it happening--other than physically.
There was only one fight left, Dean said.
And they did.

Fighting to save their country. Where did they get that idea?
There were occasional shouts about saving the country. In one clip I saw today some were singing a patriotic song while they were crashing into stuff. Don't remember now which song it was.

(999 posts)5. And Trump praised Giuliani, who only minutes earlier said in a speech to have "trial by combat"
Trump may tiptoe around his intentions, but pretty much does so on the line, to the point that its obvious to anyone who has a brain and doesnt have a crush on Trump.
