1. Great Post..K and R

2. Trump was busy watching the strippers pee on the constitution.

10. Welcome to DU.

11. They were in a tent watching the attempted coup

having a party, complete with smiles, dancing, and music. How much more proof is needed to show that this all was happening with their complete approval?

12. I remembe those photos/vids.

[Whiskeytide]

13. No. It was apparently during the rally, before ...

… Тяцмp took the stage to speak. Not later when the mob actually, physically attacked the capitol.

[electric_blue68]

14. Oh. Got it.

[BComplex]

16. No. I distinctly remember the videos of what was going on during the attack.

They never showed those again, as far as I know. You could see on the tv sets they were watching that the rioters were storming the capitol.

[mopinko]

20. i saw them too.

[Whiskeytide]

22. I don't know about that. I'm referring to the video ...

… referenced above. However, a video was circulated on social media “claiming” to be of some of them celebrating during the assault, but it was debunked.

E.g., https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/6616490002

Don’t you think that a video of them celebrating in front of monitors showing the assault in progress would have been front and center during the impeachment? You cant just wipe the internet clean of something like that.

It’s a false rumor.

[BComplex]

24. Go look at the link posted above, Whiskeytide. It's totally on there.

You can see the rioters in the video on the tv.

[Whiskeytide]

26. Did you even glance over the USA article ...

… I linked? Other video of the rally (not the assault) shows that “Gloria” played right before Тяцмp took the stage. That’s usually the song that plays before he speaks. Gloria is playing while Gilfoyle dances in that video clip. Тяцмp is there in the tent with her and others, about to go on stage.

I agree that the monitors show the capitol rioters, but it’s crowd shots of them at the rally -BEFORE they marched and rioted.

I have NEVER seen video of Тяцмp or his acolytes watching the riot and celebrating it. If that existed, it would be the #1 trending video in the history of the internet, and it would have been played 20 times during the impeachment hearings.

They are shitty people, and they do lots of shitty things, and they MAY well have done that particular shitty thing you’re accusing them of while they were at the White House (which is where all accounts put Тяцмp at the time of the riot).

But that video is NOT evidence of it.

[DeeNice]

25. Agreed, Whiskeytide

Just because it's what we want to believe (and not too hard to believe, really) doesn't make it a fact.

3. If there was a serious threat at the Capitol, I would necessarily think Joe should be evacuated,

but TFG hid in his bunker during peaceful protests, so he sure would have again if he thought there was a real threat.

I suppose Joe's people would insist out of an abundance of caution anyway, since they would think there could be a chance it was a diversion of some kind.

4. Why would the republicans not want an investigation?

Who was in the Jan 06 insurrection/riot smearing poop on the walls of Congress, attacking police, seeking Mike Pence for execution, and vandalizing the Capitol Bldg?

The ONLY proof you need that Antifa had nothing to do with January 6th is the Republicans' refusal to form a commission to investigate it.

5. tfg was the ringleader. he instigated it and egged it on all the way.

and he's 'thinking' about running again?

he should never be able to run for ANY office in the USA again.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. He told you he could shoot someone on 5th Ave & get away with it - crime in plain sight

He wasn't kidding. So few connected the dots. Surely it's privilege and fun for TFG.

[onecaliberal]

7. EXACTLY!!!!

[MineralMan]

8. Well, they tried to execu --- oops, I mean evacuate --- Pence,

but he wouldn't get in the black car with the "secret service" people he didn't recognize. They were going to take him on a, you know, ride.

[dchill]

9. "And I'll be there with you..."

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. There was never any doubt in my mind as to who the leader of the insurrection is

and this just adds more to my conviction.

[malaise]

17. Should have 500 recs

[MiHale]

18. KnR

[Rebl2]

19. Never thought

of that before. Why didn’t they rush him to secure location-hum.

[packman]

21. Yah, never thought of that either - good post

At least, he should've been in that recently inspected bunker

[themaguffin]

23. Fucking trump was kicking back and might as well been eating popcorn as it happened
