The theft of the 2020 election WAS THE INSURRECTION.

It’s all right out of the Reichstag Fire Playbook. See Pg. 1, Chapter 1, Paragraph 1.

Having been around them for a long time, i can attest to the general illiteracy among fed employees.

It’d be nice if the russian hackers could break into pelosi’s or liz cheney’s computers to retrieve a copy of the Final Report being saved for the big reveal.

Would have been nice if Trump issued blanked amnesty or pardons in his last two weeks in office.

This is a milder version of the totalitarian examples given but perhaps more than anything else, it is a farce. There was no real insurrection and the government (regime shall we say) has over-reacted just like it has with every other file on the desk.

This has to end. Our society is falling apart because of all this ridiculous posturing by the left, and the distortion of actual election results. The only significant crimes on January 6 were the theft of the election, and the murder of an unarmed protestor.

What was the actual purpose of Trump supporters storming the Capitol Building?

One contributor on this forum recently said almost all of the Capitol Building storm-troopers were Antifa/BLM/Democrats in MAGA disguise. If true, then why is the Biden government trying to prosecute all those Antifa/BLM/Democrats for storming the Capitol? Aren't they his buddies?

Another commenter said Trump, during his speech in front of the Capitol, explicitly told his supporters to be peaceful. If so, then why did those same Trump supporters ignore Trump's message and storm the Capitol?

The general consensus among the country's electorate is that Trump's speech inspired his Republican supporters in the crowd to storm the Capitol Building, so that's what they then did. Because of that, anytime a Republican says the 2020 election was stolen, the Democrats instantly respond: Actually it's the Republican Trump supporters who tried to subvert American democracy by storming the Capitol Building. So the average American voter thinks: Well, I may have concerns about the 2020 election but I didn't actually witness anything, whereas I can actually see Trump speaking to his Republican supporters in front of the Capitol in January 2021 and I can actually see his Republican supporters then storming the Capitol Building.

Therefore, all Republican candidates in 2024 will have to deal with the aftermath and this kind of question from MSM reporters (over and over again): "As a Republican candidate, do you or do you not condone Trump urging his supporters to storm the Capitol and do you support the Republican Trump supporters then wildly storming the Capitol Building?" I'm not aware of any leading Republican candidate who is competent enough to effectively answer that question and thus attract more votes. Which Republican leader is going to step forward in 2024?

Obviously, I'm not optimistic about the Republican Party. Trump's top political advisors, Jared & Ivanka, were totally blind-sided by the Democrats who stole the election with a clueless, zombie-puppet candidate, Sleepy Joe. Even President Trump himself presciently told his supporters during many of his large campaign rallies, that he would go down in history as losing to "the worst candidate in the history of Presidential politics." Sad.

Done correctly by Republicans with balls, I see a Jan. 6 hearing as a great opportunity. Take this photo for example:

Who are these guys? Trump supporters or something else? Why are they dressed the same; almost Black Bloc attire.

Why are they wearing headphones (and microphones)? Are they in communication with each other or are there more people connected to their network?

Two faces are clear. Can they be identified with facial recognition software?

Bring this photo to the hearing and leaving it up behind the panel. Ask lots of questions. Have they been identified? If not why? If they have been arrested what are their names? If they haven't been identified ask is it possible to identify them and how long will it take?

A hearing would be a great place to ask lots of questions. Lots of embarrassing questions.

Great questions. And why is wearing one of these important?

Can they be identified with facial recognition software?

Facebook & Snapchat can easily identify them. Here's how that discussion will go:

yesthatjallen: "Would you please identify them?"

Facebook: "No."

yesthatjallen: "How about you, Snapchat? Will you please identify them?"

Snapchat: "No."

Facebook: "Can I jump back into the conversation for a second?"

yesthatjallen: "Sure."

Facebook: "We've just decided to permanently ban Trump from our platform. Permanently."

Twitter: "Oh yeah, us, too. How about you Snapchat? Will you agree to permanently ban Trump, too?"

Snapchat: "Um, we're seriously thinking about doing so."

yesthatjallen: "Ok, well, that went far better than expected."

[End of Story]

Gotta give full credit to the Democrat Party Cabal (comprising Democrats, BLM/Antifa, Soros, RINOs, and Communist China): They all happily joined hands and worked very closely to remove Trump from office.

Unfortunately, Trump's top legal advisors, the incompetent Jared & Ivanka, were laughably caught sleeping during the Democrats' stolen election. Is that surprising? Even worse, Trump, with the stock market at all-time highs, lost to the clueless, zombie-puppet Sleepy Joe. What does it say about Trump's judgement that he was certain Jared & Ivanka would make good political advisors in the Washington, DC shark tank?

The scariest thing right now is the courts

Despite Trump being on top of this and appointing all kinds of conservative tourists we still have courts not doing their job and not deciding cases on the constitutionality of the issues brought before them

In particular I’m talking about the Supreme Court

The fact that the Supreme Court punted on the 17 states argument in December was a big red flag

In the end the United States of America is a rule of law not men

If the law the juries and the courts become corrupt that is the end of America as we know it

So it is long time for these judges in these courts to start acting their part and doing their job

We have the media and the Democrats who go out in bold face lie about things even if there is direct video evidence contrary to what they’re saying

This is where courts have to come in and make decisions saying that white is not black ; up is not down ; and cold is not hot

They furthermore have to prosecute people equally !!!

Democrats do not continue to just get a pass for everything and Republicans get jailed for 10 years for a parking ticket or jaywalking!!

We’re waiting. Patiently.

Our President didn’t lose to that moron, or anybody.

Think of how the illegal and immoral treatment of the January 6 suspects will echo down the line.

Will anybody in their right minds EVER swarm Washington D.C. to protest, ever again?

How many pages of Hillary Clinton email docs did they review in 48 hours again, in order to exonerate her almost instantly, of mishandling classified information?
