1. Trump and the GOP were hoping for a massacre

These unsuccessful idiots were fodder for a power grab.

2. Martial Law nt

3. Tr**p Was Using This Crowd So He Could Invoke Martial Law & Remain As President.....

I'm convinced that this was the plan.

He was willing to sacrifice his followers that breached the Capitol Bldg - for his own purposes.

I hope that this commission makes it very clear that Tr**p has/had no compassion for his followers that marched up to the Hill. That they were all pawns in his game to retain power. They would have been collateral damage - many more would be dead - police and Tr**p terrorists - if the police would have used their weapons.

Thank God for their restraint or today we wouldn't be watching this commission and Tr**p might still be terrorizing us.

4. I remember that traitor complaining that he was dissatisfied because his minions "looked low class."

That thing doesn't deserve to breathe free air. EVER.

5. Do You Think If Tr**p's Followers Come To Realize This Reality - That.....

this would be enough for them to start abandoning Tr**p in droves and start holding Tr**p accountable?
