If only ...

[NanceGreggs]

If only they'd let Trump have his way and taken him to the Capitol, he would have been televised live leading an angry, armed mob into the building.

There would then be no need to connect-the-dots after the fact tying him directly to the violence he'd incited, no need to debate whether he was aware of what he'd unleashed, and no question about his criminal intent.

He might have even taken advantage of a few photo-ops, like posing next to the gallows while the crowd shouted "Hang Mike Pence!", or shitting on the floor alongside his fellow rioters.

1. You Think That Would Have Been Enough To Indict Him?

We're going to find out whether there is any Democracy left in America, or if we'll FOREVER be a joke.

[NanceGreggs]

2. Yes, it would have been enough. n/t

3. He would have marched into the House Chamber

From there he would have invoked the Insurrection Act. Michael Flynn would have called his brother (conveniently pre-positioned at the Pentagon).

The military would have had a tough decision to make. Who would they take commands from? Trump or Pence?

Meanwhile, Pence MAY have tried to organize a 25th Ammendment vote among the cabinet, but with Chao and DeVos already gone (resigned previously that day), assembling a majority may have been a challenge with so many psynchopaths still on board.

So much un-charted territory.

11. Possibly...

The speculative possibilities are grim indeed. They were well armed, organized and ready to do battle along with their dear leader

4. TFG wanted to go there because he's a sadist,

He gets pleasure from seeing others getting hurt, for him.

[lefthandedskyhook]

12. It's in his nature!

He did ask for protesters to be shot "in the legs or something"... and all the rest

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Would he have stood back and let others smash the windows?

Would have he needed help climbing in? Would he have stood by when they smashed the heads of Capitol Police or would he have joined in? So many photo ops missed...

[lefthandedskyhook]

13. Nah

He wanted a shootout and he had the bigger force

[lefthandedskyhook]

6. They had the firepower

The mad king wanted a bloody coup and would have had it if he had been allowed

[Nevilledog]

7. Yeah...... But he would have done his stupid fucking dance in the Rotunda.

[NanceGreggs]

8. Okay ...

That literally made me laugh out loud!!!

[Nevilledog]

9. ...

[rubbersole]

10. It would have been bloody.

Guns, guns and more guns. Thankfully it didn't happen. But watching tfg try to climb his fat ass through a busted out window....now that might have been...

[lefthandedskyhook]

14. They would have desecrated a rug for him to enter upon

15. How dare the Secret Service deny Trump his

Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) Jimmy Stewart (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) Mussolini moment!!...
