The Naked Truth - January 6th was a Day of Sedition.

[kentuck]

It was nothing like a normal "tourist" day. It was chosen because it was January 6th, the day that the electoral votes were to be counted. It was not a coincidence. It was a conspiracy. The conspiracy was to stop the Congress from counting the electoral votes on that day.

It was not a protest or a march that went wrong. It was planned from the beginning. Those that try to re-define or to minimize what happened that day are either intentionally lying or are in denial about their role in the conspiracy.

Their goal was to stop the certification of the votes by Congress and to overthrow a legal and legitimate election. It was sedition, plain and simple.

This is where the debate should begin.

Those that participated in this dastardly act are, to one degree or other, guilty of sedition against the United States of America.

1. This should include many members of Congress, imho.

They need out of our government and locked up, period. Let MTG share a cell with her beloved PEEPS that as so horribly treated…….in fucking jail for sedition.

4. There were also many parallels to the previously most infamous insurrection, October 1917

In planning, leadership, funding, propaganda strategies against opposing parties. It really was a storming of the Winter Palace.

5. Trump tried to overthrow the government.

A mob of domestic terrorists were directed by the President of the United States to Congress in order to stop the counting of the vote by the People. In effect, the executive branch attacked the legislative branch. Donald J Trump is a traitor.



Trump Told Crowd ‘You Will Never Take Back Our Country With Weakness’

As Congress prepared to certify the victory of his successor, President Trump railed against the election and helped set in motion hours of violence.

Maggie Haberman
The New York Times, Jan. 6, 2021

Excerpt...

“We want to be so respectful of everybody,” Mr. Trump said, before calling his political opponents bad people. “And we are going to have to fight much harder. And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn’t, that will be a sad day for our country. Because you’re sworn to uphold our Constitution.”

Calling the outcome of the election “this egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol. And we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you will never take back our country with weakness.”

Mr. Trump did not in fact travel with the supporters he urged to go fight for him; he returned to the White House, and berated aides about how the scene had appeared, before taking to Twitter to attack Mr. Pence for his stand.

Before Mr. Trump took the stage, his personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, addressed the crowd and called for “trial by combat” against the Democrats to win the election.

17. I enjoy the preaching

Because so many here are much better versed at detailing the facts they are preaching about. It gives me much better ammo to preach to my ignorant family that admire trump, GQP and THAT Jeeebus.
Preach on Pastors of Democracy.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Amen

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. I still see news articles calling it a "riot", as if it was spontaneous. Insurrections are planned.

[kentuck]

12. They are attempting to cover up the fact that it was planned.

They even had a "war room".

[hibbing]

13. I got chastised on here for saying it was not a "riot"..shrug n/t

[llashram]

11. +++

For the top layer of strategists of this heinous affair, treason charges...also. In my book.

16. So Was Bush v Gore In Its Own Way

There the Supreme Court ordered Florida to use an incomplete recount because they didn't think there was time to complete the recount prior to Congress certifying the election. This date has now been twice selected to overturn the will of the people and it will be used again in the future as the obsolescence of the Electoral College becomes more pronounced.

18. Words of wisdom from DUer FoxNewsSucks

And in a couple months the people who gave guided tours to those thugs, and incited them,
will be investigating "the murder of Ashi Babbit".
