Why is anyone in the media pretending that the Slobfather was not the coup's orchestrator in chief

Who the fact gives a fuck about ReTHUG messaging?
If Jan 6 is not a big thing for most Americans, they can blame the media’s both sides coverage of the failed coup.
That the media still pretends that the Slobfather is anything but a seditious criminal speaks volumes about their agenda.

Eff you Katy.

If FOX says Trump had nothing to do with the insurrection, well, then he wasn't. That's all their viewers have to know.

And no extra work for the producers to find evidence to support their contentions as fact.

It helps Trump. That's all.

They continued to cover this as if it were a joke
Under no normal rules was he guaranteed two terms.


This was not a joke- this was his plan.

any vested interest in stopping or interfering w/ Congress in the duties they were going to reaffirm (w/ VP Pence) on 1/6/21?

Who else? tRUMP is the only one standing that truly had any interest in what was going on, encouraging the mob, etc. There's evidence that while people were dying, he was gleefully watching the TV and replaying those clips that fascinated him the most.
Personally, if you want my opinion, if people died as a result of his coup attempt, he should be charged w/ murder. Of course he won't I suspect.

And of course, you'll get the crazy conspiracies, the most idiotic blame game of who's to blame, who is at fault.

Since his organizational abilities seem to leave serious doubt as to whether he could organize a successful tying of both his shoes on the same day, there is good reason to suspect he told various people "get it done," and left to them the details he wasn't capable of attending to in the first place--which was probably all of them.

Though Henry II was a much more organized and talented leader, I suspect that Trump made a similar remark ("Will no one help me win this election?&quot , and his minions planned and followed through.

I think he was really stumped--the concept was totally alien to him.

I suspect this was masterminded in Moscow.
