Cont: Trump’s Coup - Part 2

[The Great Zaganza]

I knew someone would make this claim, that the Capitol Riot was worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

You just gotta laugh.

Ted Cruz called it a terrorist attack.
He knows better than you - he was there.

And yet another snarky offhand comment from the Right instead of answering any questions or making any points.

The Dems have just used this day for political theater, unfortunately. As I predicted, completely polarizing efforts.

This day was first politicised a year ago by Trump and his mob of ignorant savages. I’d say that day had some completely polarizing effects as well.

Just moments after Biden finished his speech, Donnie Bonespurs issued this crap. It's obviously written in advance of the speech.

"The Unselect Committee"...

Those poopyheads!

(and still didn't take the time to proofread or correct that last sentence.)

You just gotta laugh.

Neither of the other two got anywhere near the Capitol.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham tells CNN that during the attack on the Capitol, Trump was "gleefully" watching the riot from the White House dining room.

She said he kept hitting rewind and saying, "Look at all those people fighting for me."

I guess the British burning of Washington, D.C. in 1814 has been somewhat forgotten.

The coup attempt was worse. The other compared attacks on the country wouldn't, no matter how succeasful, have destroyed the country and installed a tantrum-throwing toddler as dictator.

Clearly. Democracy was on the brink, and it still is.

I think it was those Canadian bastards. Afterward they decided to leave the 'gator riders and slave holders to their own devices because malaria.

Regarding the claims upthread that there was no coordination... Facts continue to unfold.

Text messages reviewed by ProPublica represent the strongest indication yet that members of the Trump family inner circle were involved in financing and organizing the Jan. 6 “Save America” rally, which immediately preceded the Capitol riot.

You just gotta laugh.

You're now to the right of Dick Cheney.

Just like we all knew some terrorist-sympathizing right wing troll was going to show up in this thread today to downplay the events of 1/6.

100 years ago,

And yet another snarky offhand comment from the Right instead of answering any questions or making any points.

the Italian fascists used coarse ridicule rather than reasoned argument, because, of course, they had no case to make. They had no actual grievance either, only a lust for power encouraged by a staggeringly ignorant lower middle class and a cynically self-aggrandizing cabal of industrialists and landowners. Sound familiar?

Rubber hoses and castor oil became familiar soon after.

 

[Ladewig]

You're now to the right of Dick Cheney.

And Karl Rove:

…, "there can be no soft-pedaling what happened and no absolution for those who planned, encouraged and aided the attempt to overthrow our democracy,"

Love of country demands nothing less,. That’s true patriotism."

ETA
And Mr. Chucklehead himself has now called Rove a RINO.

 

[Stacyhs]

You're now to the right of Dick Cheney.

Once again, Trump lies and disses his supporters.

Trump said he was going to drive by a street corner this afternoon in W. Palm Beach to waive to supporters. The cult was out there all day waiting. Right wing networks sent their camera crews. He never showed.

Idiots.

 

[Delvo]

Trump is possessed by the ghost of that dead Kennedy Junior guy!

It was because January 6th proved half the Country is now dead and the Pulg needs to be pulled on that half.

Ted Cruz called it a terrorist attack.
He knows better than you - he was there.

The argument could be made that Ted Cruz doesn't know better than anyone about anything, except ignorance.

Jesus ever ******* Christ.

The J6ers didn't know what the **** they were doing. I thought that even with the interminable string of adjectives and qualifiers put before "inompetent attempted but couldn't get competent people invoved coup" thing, we were at least all in agreement on that?

Or do you mean if the J6ers succeeded in whatever their goal was, a lot of other things would have had to semi-miraculously happen to keep Agent Orange in the Oval Office a while longer?

Hey, what if Emporer ******* Hirohito and the Axis powers had succeeded? You seriously think that would have been better than a second Trump term? Or if Bin Laden had accomplished his long range goals, better than putting up with Trump for a bit longer?

Millions died from those two events. It was far more serious than the temporary fumbling their would have gone through in dealing with the botched certification. For all of you that are sure that the SCOTUS would have somehow allowed Trump to remain in office, recall how many of his supporters, including VP Pence, did not support his ****. You're deluding yourselves to think it would have been that much a shoe-in.
