They tried to overthrow an election. It was an attempted coup. It was a criminal act.

[kentuck]

That is the bottom line.

No matter how much they try to portray it as something else or to paint a different narrative, it is what it is.

They can try to minimize it. They can make jokes about it. They can say it was just a rally that got a little out of hand. But the people that feared for their lives on that day do not think it was a joke.

It was planned. There was a war-room to strategize their movements. It was a traitorous act against our country.

That is what they do not want to confess to.

They can't. They are in deep denial.

[WA-03 Democrat]

1. Yes it is that

They been caught and now want a Mulligan to get it right.

[olegramps]

19. However, all I have seen is a hell of a lot of talk and very little action.

If I was suspected of something illegal all I could hope for it that the DOJ is handling it. After ten years of investigation, numerous hearings the charges would be dropped due to reaching the limit for prosecution. Do we actually have to pay these jokers or is this so- called service free? They have had far enough to go after Trump and his stinking family and if it wasn't for the New York prosecutors nothing substantial would be happening. So far the only that thing I am aware of is that they have had to do was to refund a portion of the money they stole from their scam charities.

2. Beyond any doubt.

[Wounded Bear]

3. K & R...we need to see hours and hours of 1/6 video in campaign ads next year...

[uponit7771]

5. +1

[Stuart G]

4. K and R

[triron]

6. Yes, but where are the signs that our DOJ is going to prosecute?

If not then this surely is the end of the American experiment.

[Wounded Bear]

7. DOJ is not supposed to telegraph what they're doing to the public...

[AllaN01Bear]

8. yeppers , agree 100%

[rurallib]

9. It was also a rehearsal or step 1 in a process.

[Initech]

11. Bill Maher was right - we're witnessing a slow moving coup. 1/6 was the beginning.

[Initech]

10. We cannot let them get away with this.

They had help from the inside.There were people in Congress helping the terrorists attempt to find the hiding members of Congress. They used ziplines and smoke grenades, and had makeshift gallows erected.

And they are trying to spin it as an "ordinary tourist visit", and "look at Trump's crowd size!!!". They must pay. Sorry but what tourist visit ends with them throwing feces on the walls, using Congressional offices as toilets, erecting makeshift gallows and them screaming about wanting to hang their own sitting vice president? It's truly insane.

[StClone]

12. They won't do the DC attack again

They take over by "winning" another way!

They will rely on the most corrupt elections in the future: gerrymandering, voter suppression, and overturning elections. They have put in place the most substantial anti-electoral play imaginable. They will be getting "wins" by illegal anti-Constitutional means that rivals anything in the history of this country. They are, in a large-scale effort, determined never to lose another election.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. You are exactly right.

Their feeling is that they won't screw it up again. It's gonna be a full court press.

Katie Bar The Door & get ready to be bent over.............

They are already attacking every single thing at the state level in addition to the Federal Level......

They won't do 1/6 again in Washington, they will do it, all at the same time, in each and every state capitol across the nation.....

[StClone]

15. End the Filibuster

If not Manchin and Sinema should be harassed endlessly for KILLING AMERICA. No escaping that!

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Wether it is

ending the filibuster, or changing the number of Supreme Court Justices, it could come back to bite us if they get back a majority.....

My mind is old, but I seem to remember a kids book by Uncle Remus? And the Rabbit kept saying what ever you do, don't throw me in the briar patch.......Sometimes I think they goad us into doing something, with a long range plan in mind........

[StClone]

18. I thought of that

And it has been proven repeatedly they seem to find ways to use what we do against us. Do good and let's then move on to fight the next fight-because it is an endless battle against the evil that be.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Unless Rule of Law and the US Constitution are upheld

we are left with competing narratives of fascism leading paranoid hysteria vs Democrats for the middle class. You can decide which one motivates more voters, is more exciting, and wins elections. Maybe democracy needs to be melded to the Republic for which it stands, Cheney-style, in order to defeat fascism. Trouble is, that Republic is none too visible right now, and is very luke warm toward Democrats.

[StClone]

22. Luke warm toward Democrats:Contempt for good and allured by the known evil.

People misinterpret the saying: The road to hell is paved with good intentions

They seem to believe that if you try to do good, doing it for what is evidently the best, it will always turn into some mess of wicked failure. I don't know if others have heard this misinterpretation but I have heard it enough to begin to rebut it.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions," means that it is not enough to simply mean to do well, one must take action to do well. A good intention is meaningless unless it is followed by good action.

Dems are mindful of doing good for all, or as many as possible, while the opposition sees the use of their followers as dupes, pawns, and foot soldiers to maintain power.

[WestIndianArchie]

16. It cannot be anything other than that. An egregious criminal act against the American people.

[gab13by13]

20. We need better laws to combat domestic terrorism,

hiding behind the 1st amendment needs adjusted.

[usaf-vet]

21. If the Democrats FAIL to bring TFG and congressional leaders to JUSTICE how would we.....

... NOT be complicit if (when) a second attempted coup is made?

[Skittles]

23. thank you

they LITERALLY thought they were going to accomplish something.
