If the Dems are successful in keeping Trump off the Presidential ballot, he'll likely wind up Speaker of the House.

He could do a lot more damage to Libs agenda there anyways.

Well, it was a stupid thing to say in that context. He does know his supporters and he knows they aren't violent. That is why he'd told them in a previous rally to "hit back", to protect themselves when antifa was pounding on them....and they didn't hit back. And because his followers wouldn't hit back, that gave rise to the proud boys. The proud boys had never been known to attack cops or the average innocent citizen, like antifa blm is known for doing, they just fought against antifa.

Maybe this is why some Trumpies are having a hard time figuring out his dog whistles and *wink wink* peaceful protest fake nonsense that the rest of us can see through.

Nuance is not one of their strong points.

Or, it’s just wilful ignorance. “But but but … he told them to march peacefully and go home we love you”.

We all know what he meant. The rioters know what he meant. Some of them are going to do jail time for him.

Hmmm, not even wilful ignorance perhaps.

Just straight out lying and bending the truth.

Just like Trump.
Yeah, maybe if we were brainwashed like many of the anti-Trumpers then we'd see your slanted version.

I know the anti-Trumpers are not big on personal responsibility, but those who will be going to prison will be going because of their own decisions and actions...they made their own choices to do what they did.

Education comes in many forms. Some lessons are a lot more expensive than others. Now we wait and see if Navarro learned anything today.

So basically Obama saved Holder of prison time. Obama and Holder ran the DOJ. If that isn't a conflict of interest and abuse of power then I don't know what is.



So the lesson here is if your party is in the W.H. and controls the DOJ you can get away with crimes because the DOJ isn't prosecuting. Bannon who is a private citizen is going to jail for doing less than Holder. Justice.

Overthrow? What a laugh. Even if Trump was removed from office we would have ended up with President Pence. Hardly a loss for republicans. Your guy was trying to cling to power even after losing the election and he abused the power of his office to do so.
You have no moral leg to stand on.

When/where, did I say that he'd told them to go home during those particular tweets? Where does the link I'd provided say that?


During the rally, he told people to be peaceful.

At 2:38 pm he tweeted and told the crowd to support the cops and to be peaceful.

At 6:01pm, he had tweeted and again told them to go home peacefully.

Both of these tweets were in the link I'd provided, which were taken from a WaPo article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeli...anuary_5,_2021
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...able-main-0106

But I suppose since your committee seems to be hiding this and not telling you about these things, then it means you believe WaPo is lying and had created those tweets.
Ashley Babbit was shot at 2:44 by your own timeline he did not ask his supporters to disperse for another 3 hours and 16 minutes.
How is that appropriate?

Like Biden administration, they have failed. Polls today has Trump beating Biden, Kamala, Sanders and every Democrat on the bench. Las Vegas money odds for 2024 still has Trump as the favorite and Biden and Kamala behind. The only odds that dropped were Biden and Kamala.

After 10 million dollars plus and all the prime time spot, it's a bust. Let Adam Schiff loose and start leaking everyday.

I think he's yet to concede.

Yep. Obama and his cronies seemed to get away with a lot.

wut? Is your reading comprehension broken?

Those two tweets that I'd mentioned were in addition to what was posted in the quote I had commented on.

Hillary conceded with her fingers crossed behind her back.
Then she orchestrated the Russian collusion scam, with high up officials.
Will you be watching the IGOR DANCHENKO trial in October??? Over 30 testimonies will be laid out.
WILL YOU BE WATCHING???
