Steaming heap of shit wanted that day to occur exactly as it did. Any words to the contrary are complete & total lies.

We knew he wanted to go to the Capitol and the SS wouldn't let him. There was testimony to that effect in the J6 Committee hearings. But it wasn't to stop the riot--he wanted to lead it. He could have stopped it from the WH and chose not to, for hours.

Trump acknowledged to Jon Karl that the Jan. 6 crowd would have responded to him if he called them off (which he didn’t do for several hours despite urgent pleas from aides and family).

Sen. Joe Manchin says Donald Trump would destroy US democracy if he wins a second term as president -BUT...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, days removed from announcing he won’t seek reelection, said Wednesday that if the nation’s voters give former President Donald Trump another term in the White House, “he will destroy democracy in America.”

Manchin, whose home state voters overwhelmingly backed Trump in the last two presidential elections, made the comment on a press call with West Virginia-based reporters amid speculation that Manchin himself might be weighing a third-party run for president.

The moderate West Virginia Democrat said Wednesday that he would never want to be a “spoiler” who contributed to getting any other candidate elected. But he said he would do what he had to in order to save the country]

How long before the NYT publishes a piece explaining how this is bad for Biden?

BREAKING: New reports indicate, largely because of the Biden Administration’s focus on revitalizing manufacturing in America, China’s economy size has slipped to 64% of the size of the U.S. economy. For the first time in 40 years, the U.S. economy is outpacing China’s economy.
