"The President left everyone at the Capital for Dead"

[Peacetrain]

Joaquin Castro just now.. at the trial.. no truer words said..

[Sedona]

1. To the greatest page with all haste

[Peacetrain]

8. Thanks!

[dflprincess]

2. I probably shouldn't admit this

but I'm beginning to wish the mob had gotten their hands on Graham, Cruz, Hawley, or Rubio. Those smug SOBs sit there making a big deal of ignoring the evidence and thinking the insurrectionists were their friends. They aren't smart enough to afraid of a mob in a frenzy.

[Peacetrain]

4. I could not believe what I was watching with both Schumer and Romney running for their lives

in the videos..

[Funtatlaguy]

5. The people of SC, Tx, MO, FL, should all be so embarrassed.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. My response was to post about Cruz not Castro.

[babylonsister]

15. I live in FL. Why the hell should I be embarrassed?

I didn't vote for either senator or the bloody damn governor either.

[Funtatlaguy]

17. Because they represent you. Same for me re Florida.

[babylonsister]

18. Wrong answer. That is not a reason for me to be embarrassed imo.

Whatever boneheaded decisions they make or crap they say has not been approved by me, ever.

[Funtatlaguy]

20. That's cool. But this Floridian is embarrassed by Rubio/Scott/DeSantis.

[Ford_Prefect]

24. All three are cut from the same fascist cloth and would sacrifice US without a thought.

They believe that power belongs to those willing to take it by any means available and willing to use it to perpetuate that power. They may be in Trump's shadow for now but they can't wait to try it on for themselves.

[judesedit]

33. Exactly. And that's how they got in. Florida politics is full of corruption.

As it is in many states. It seems to be the nature of the beast anymore, unfortunately. We have to get money out of politics. It's the main cause of the problem.

[Funtatlaguy]

47. DeSantis is an even dumber, less charismatic version of Trump.

[Magoo48]

55. As I traveled in other parts of this world it became quite clear:

everything our politicians do and our nations does is to some extent done in all our names.

[northoftheborder]

49. Believe me, we are ashamed of most of our reps in Congress. We do have some great ones though.

[wnylib]

19. The mob would not have hurt them

because of who they are and they know it.

[Corgigal]

25. Ah,

they are stupid to gamble with their lives that way. I think they would have hurt them, live on their cell phones.

[dflprincess]

31. An out of control mob may not have recognized them

until they had broken a few bones (or worse).

These aren't the brightest bulbs when they're not in a mindless rage.

[Leith]

34. Exactly

There are more than 500 members of both houses of Congress. You can't count on every one of the hundreds of rabid rioters to recognize every member.

I think that could be the quote of the day for some of the rethugs whose lips aren't that tightly sealed to the orange ass.

[wnylib]

59. Good point about bright bulbs.

However, the mob did know what their "enemies" looked like. I think they might have known a few of their most prominent friends, which is who we're talking about.

[live love laugh]

58. I agree with people like Boebert and Hawley in their midst. nt

[George II]

28. Actually they did come across Cruz and said "he's one of us" so he escaped harm.

[Bongo Prophet]

54. Yeah, I don't think that happened. Got a link?

I did see the video of insurrectionists in the Senate chamber looking at the ledger and saying that ABOUT him, though one of the yahoos was confused on that point. But he was in hiding at that time.

Misinformation spreads like a virus, so I like to make sure when possible.
I will gladly admit if I was wrong, though.

[lettucebe]

53. None of them seem to understand they don't like any of them

Most of the violence, IMO, was caused by anti-govt people. tRump just gave them permission to act.

[lagomorph777]

56. The terrorists would not have discriminated between GQP and Dems; all would have been killed.

And Trump would have applauded it; he'd have all the power to himself.

These Qpublican morans are too stupid to grasp that.

[IronLionZion]

60. Maybe Ivanka will primary Rubio

They can split the GOP vote so a Dem can win.

[sheshe2]

3. Joaguin.

Even their mom gets fooled...twins.

[Peacetrain]

6. I can't tell them apart and never remember which one has the beard..

Thanks

[sheshe2]

16. Me too.

I was watching him on CNN when you posted.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. well only one of them is in Congress - Joaquin

I have met Joaquin two or three times at various Democratic functions around Texas

[Funtatlaguy]

7. My ticket for 2028 is Harris/Castro.

[ShazzieB]

23. I could definitely get behind that! 😁

[nature-lover]

9. He knew that Pence couldn't hand him a victory, so this would be the way to declare martial law.

Timing was everything. If the insurrection occurred before the election was certified, he had one last chance.

[mopinko]

13. yeah, the mob was not the end game. martial law was.

[North Shore Chicago]

10. Watching this today

the amalgamation of audio, video and text, twitler should be happy his social media has been slowed down. Imagine all the new evidence the management team would have!

[Peacetrain]

36. Interesting for sure!

[Music Man]

14. That was an extremely stark line, indeed.

He laid it right out there.

[Peacetrain]

37. It just floored me when I heard it

I wonder if those republicans who have been such Trump supporters have stopped to think about that..

[NoRoadUntravelled]

21. Left everyone for dead and then blamed Antifa and BLM. nt

[flibbitygiblets]

26. Isn't it funny that once "Antifa" turned out to be "MAGA", we stopped hearing about the former.

Like magic, they suddenly disappeared from the rhetoric and fearmongering.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

57. Yup. Exactly. nt

[Peacetrain]

38. No kidding

[BigmanPigman]

22. A few words that pretty much summed it all up.

[Peacetrain]

42. Yes it did..

It was jarring actually.. the truth laid bare

[Ford_Prefect]

27. He seems to have expected no less from his loyal troops.

He clearly wanted congress to succumb to the crowd he sent there. Hence the delays built into the commands withholding the national guard and the way that was arranged, including the direct orders regarding how they were to be equipped, and distributed.

[Peacetrain]

41. And from what I can extract from various news stories..

His loyal troops are starting to turn on him.. the withholding the guard with all those people trying to contact him should end him up in prison time..

[orangecrush]

29. KICK

[Cha]

30. Well said.. Mahalo, Peacetrain!

[Peacetrain]

40. Cha!!.. I did not get to hear it all

but I got to catch pieces of it today.. and once again I am amazed at what a great job of laying this out the managers have been doing. And the new video lays out how close some came to harm..

[Cha]

43. I haven't seen any of it but

I will be watching some of the vids later.

Thank You!

[Peacetrain]

44. It is jarring.. how they laid it out.. its just jarring

its so scary to think what would have become of our country if that man had been reelected..

[Cha]

48. I know.. I can tell by

reading the posts on DU.

[northoftheborder]

50. Rachel reported that MSNBC would be rerunning today's events starting at 12 AM

[Cha]

51. TY notb!

[Evolve Dammit]

32. He could not have cared less how many died. n/t

[Peacetrain]

39. I don't think he would have cared either..

he has no compassion for his fellow human in his black heart

[Evolve Dammit]

62. He is a very sick, damaged person. Unfortunately, he and his cult are choosing extreme violence. n/

[Beartracks]

45. Has anyone made the case that Trump made the calls to delay the hearings...

... specifically to buy more time to see if the insurrection was going to succeed?I

=========

[Peacetrain]

46. If they did I missed it..

I was catching bits and pieces..

[Joinfortmill]

52. Chilling

[pandr32]

61. He did and would have turned away as fast as he did...

...from the old rich guy that was on the marble floor bleeding right in front of him.
He has that psychopathic callousness.
