......................



“Let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue,” he told the mob in front of him, concluding his speech right around 1:10 p.m. ET.

Some had anticipated the charge: Five minutes earlier, a Washington Post reporter stationed at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue from Trump noted supporters of his “charging toward the Capitol steps,” struggling to get past police and breach the building.

.....................................

But it wasn’t just a single command from Trump that resulted in the siege of the Capitol. He spent his entire speech working the crowd into a froth, urging their presence at the legislature to give “weak” Republicans in Congress “the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and -women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them,” Trump told the crowd a few minutes after noon.

I think this statement by Trump really got them riled.


“I’ll be there with you,” he noted, sending supporters in a frenzy. “We’re never going to take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

1. He incided the riots!

Lock him up!

[bucolic_frolic]

2. It's hard not to find direct causality there

Resignations continue this am ... some Deputy NatSec Advisor. And I'm seeing a lot of posts from prominent people calling for expulsions from Congress of the alleged traitors who supported the coup attempt, Hawley being most often mentioned.

[orangecrush]

4. Let's hope they DO IT

Instead of waiting for next time

[in2herbs]

5. Sadly, if they didn't 25A him last night I don't think they ever will. nt

[sfstaxprep]

19. It's Time To Come Together

In other words.....expect it to happen again, and expect them to all be SOOOOOO Surprised when it does.

[llashram]

27. true, they will not

sadly the shit-filled diaper person called potus will be ensconced in the WH 2 more weeks. And if he has the temerity to show up at the inauguration, escort him away please, any secret Service agent still loyal to our form of representative democracy and our rightfully elected POTUS and not the man... who has to have his shit-filled diaper changed every day.

3. Along with Rudy's "Trial by Combat" remark

That moron HAS to be disbarred after this.

[They_Live]

7. YES!

exactly. If that is not inciting violence, I'll eat my shoes.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the entire chain of succession was in that Capitol

when Trump fomented the assault. Pence, Pelosi, Grassley, Mitch ....

[Marthe48]

10. My daughter mentioned that

If the terrorists had gotten hold of Representatives or Senators or pence, we could have seen a hostage situation, criminal assault, or murder.

[PSPS]

13. Reporters on the scene reported hearing they were openly promising "public executions."

12. Woman shot breaking into Speaker's corridor retweeted Lin Wood calling for arrests of those people

20. The Planet Is Better Off With Her Gone nt

[dalton99a]

29. +1. She came to capture Pence for trial and execution

[onecent]

8. He is an assXole!!!

[Denzil_DC]

9. "'FORWARD!' he cried from the rear as the front rank died" n/t

[Paladin]

11. Ultimately, it was just another trump deflection manuver.

He wanted to take attention away from all the Democratic victories. And as usual, the evil motherfucker succeeded.

[PSPS]

14. Um, no. It wasn't "just another" anything.

[Paladin]

15. Um, yes. The only difference was the severity.

trump got exactly what his sick little mind wanted yesterday: Minimized attention to, and coverage of, the historic Democratic victories. As deranged as he is, he accomplished what he set out to do. And I doubt that the evil motherfucker will suffer any meaningful penalty for what he did.

[sfstaxprep]

21. But.....He Couldn't Tweet For 12 Hours

I'm sure, like Susan Collins has said, he learned his lesson this time.

LOL.

[Paladin]

28. That'll probably be it, as far as the punishment trump receives.

Might as well be realistic about it.

[GentleAlien]

16. He talks in coded language

As Michael Cohen pointed out after he fell out with Trump. These coded words give him plausible deniability. He can easily blame the audience for misinterpreting his original intent. He seems to have mastered this art over decades - and avoided being held accountable so far.

[AnnieBW]

17. What's This "We" Stuff?

He was sitting in the WH watching it play out on TV.

[generalbetrayus]

22. Reminds me of the old Mad Magazine cartoon

where the Lone Ranger and Tonto are surrounded by armed and angry Indian warriors, and Tonto says to the Lone Ranger, "What you mean, 'we'?"

[AnnieBW]

30. Winner!

You got the reference!

[dchill]

23. "I'll be there with you,"... behind bulletproof glass...

In my office.

[onetexan]

24. the Con is a mob boss. That's how they speak - all in coded language.

[Marcuse]

25. "I'll be there with you!", lied Cadet Bonespurs.

[xxqqqzme]

26. This would be

the 'suckers' and 'losers' I believe.

Jail is almost too good of an outcome.
