    How many times does it need to be spelled out to you, @garyd?

    Burying your head in the sand is not a real debate strategy. How many times has Trump, in this year alone, has said the election would be a fraud? Trump has spent the last five years priming his fans for that glorious day on 1/6/2021. After giving his speech, he ran to the tent to watch the havoc his minions would inflict on the Capitol. If you cannot see the connections, it is because you are willfully ignoring it!!!

    Nice didn't even bother to answer the question I see. Looks to me like you added up 2 and 2 and got some random number greater than or equal to 1000.

    Do you think repetition somehow makes the false true? Maybe in agitprop MSM and other propaganda, not here.

    Thanks for the block quote, gets the truth out to more people, and serves to reinforce the contrast between the substance of my posts and yours.

    I agree. People who have the ability to comprehend what they read will see I was talking about the transition between Obama and Trump.

    As was the very first link on the Trump Inauguration Demonstrations in my previous post, you just haven't figured that out yet, and in print for all to see. Irony.

    Which has NOTHING to do with my original comment to HurricaneDitka. But feel free to continue on your tangent.

    You forgot that ANTIFA was assaulting the Capitol 30 minutes before Trump uttered those words and those who heard those words had a 30 minute walk from that point. A few Trump supporters did fall for the encouragement of ANTIFA Agent Provocateurs, but that had nothing to do with the Trump rally. The ANTIFA attack was enabled by Democrats encouraging 156 days of ANTIFA attacks on the US. The Capitol was just day 157 of the violence Democrats gave us for half of 2020.

    You are missing the all important, salient ingredient. Without the following ingredient below, everything you expressed could be argued to fall within the Brandenburg test parameters.

    Something was driving them to charge the capital? So, what was it? See, whatever that was, it was the engine that drove the thing to rise to insurrection, which resulted in mayhem and death.

    The answer is simple, it was anger. Why were they angry? Because Trump has trolled them with the lie, over and over again, rally after rally, that 'dems stole the election'. Imagine the rage you would feel if you honestly believed your opponent stole the election from you?

    Now,you alluded to it with the comment about fraud, but you need to drive that point above all else, because rage was the engine of the insurrection, and the dispenser of that rage was Trump, given over a period of months. Failing to understand this point, one will fail to understand why it constitutes insurrection and Trump's speech, over a period of time, as sedition.

    See, the one event, January 6 viewed by itself, could fall within the 'Brandenburg test' parameters. But, since Trump has been telling his flock, for a year or more, long before any ballot was cast, that democrat stole the election, ( which has been thoroughly debunked ) he has filled his flock with rage, rage that welled up in volcanic force and erupted with his Jan 6 speech, plus that of DJTjr Giuliani et al.

    Without that rage, nothing additional to it has the force necessary to result in insurrection. It would be just a rally.

    You haven't even begun responding honestly to any of the arguments I've posted, just repetitively emphasizing your funny error in not realizing the Obama-Trump transition WAS in fact the forum of the Trump Inauguration protests that I linked.

    Remember folks, ALWAYS have a WRITTEN RECORD of ANY discussion attempted with a Leftist. Waste of time otherwise.

    Humorless snide remarks only further damage your credibility.

    It's looking more and more like the coup was planned and here are some of the alleged complicit traitors:

    Arizona Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar implicated by activist in Capitol insurrection

    A CNN investigative team that includes former Arizona Republic reporter Bob Ortega pointed out that in late December Alexander told followers on Periscope that he, Biggs, Gosar and Mo Brooks of Alabama, three Republican members of Congress, were planning something big.

    https://www.azcentral.com/story/opi...9mvxIzB4QCV1TktNqpatLjy8wCIhwyA__HOoe2B26YbJQ

    And some of those who lend support to that possibility:

    Some of Rep. Gosar's siblings want him expelled from Congress after deadly riot at Capitol

    Three of Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings have reached out to Rep. Raúl Grijalva asking him to help get their brother expelled from Congress after the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol they blame him for helping to instigate.

    You haven't made any arguments to me. You keep trying to move the goalposts. You also keep making false claims. I'm not a leftist. Let's put it this way...I make a really bad leftist considering I've NEVER voted for a Dem. Ever. As in...NEVER. And I've been VERY consistent on this.
    Again...the transition BETWEEN Obama and Trump is the transition of their job as president. THAT transition has nothing to do with what citizens did. TWO very SEPARATE things. But for some reason you seem to think they are one in the same. Sorry. Not so much.

    Nonresponsive, just repeats the dodge... over and over. And of course I believe you about not ever voting Democrat, I doubt there is a Party called the Democratic Party where you live.

    And yet more possibilities of a planned coup:

    Mikie Sherrill says unidentified lawmakers led ‘reconnaissance’ tours ahead of Capitol attack

    Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that she witnessed colleagues escorting people through the Capitol on Jan. 5 for what she described as "reconnaissance" ahead of the next day's violent insurrection that left five dead.

    In a 13-minute Facebook video billed as an address to her constituents about the House's efforts to hold President Donald Trump accountable for inciting the riot, Sherrill included the allegation as part of a call to hold Trump's allies in Congress accountable as well.

    "I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him — those members of Congress who had groups coming through the capitol that I saw on Jan. 5 for reconnaissance for the next day — those members of Congress who incited the violent crowd, those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy, I'm going see that they're held accountable," Sherrill said.

    It does to many Trump supporters. Just look how he convinced them that there was voter fraud. Despite no evidence, no facts, and lots and lots of court decisions. He even got many of them to riot and assault the State Capitol.

    Keep the questions coming.... This is fun!

    At around 2;00 p.m.

    Trump tweeted; Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to overturn the election results..........IN OTHER WORDS; Trump's last-ditch effort to overturn the election results FAILED!

    At around 2:15 p.m.

    Senator Lankford was interrupted, and Congress went into recess as rioters broke windows and got inside the building.

    Tell me garyd, did the above-mentioned Tweet;

    a. Enraged the protesters/made them angry?

    b. Made them less peaceful/more violent?

    c. Made them shout ''Hang Mike Pence''?

    Trump is first president to be impeached twice. So he’s got that going for him. I mean...he is big on bragging about being the first or best or only president to do things. Well, now he can add this to his list.
