Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6
Donald Trump recently repeated the false claim that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected his request for 10,000 National Guard troops ahead of Jan. 6.www.usatoday.com
I used to think that the mob wouldn't really kill Pence, but I now believe they really would have if they had gotten to him.
I wish I could go back to thinking otherwise, but I can't.
The democrats know they are really hosed this election and the only things they can do to help themselves will be bad for their base, so the only option is to go all in on reminding Americans about the electoral justice protest, which was awesome and in due time will be taught as a major event where the people stood up to the regime
We'll get over it when justice is served, not before.Get over it already. Y'all are worse than pizzagaters at this point.
Nothing will come of this. Democrats have wasted like a year and a half of their time, and counting.We'll get over it when justice is served, not before.
We'll come back together again as a country when the GOP takes responsibility for what they've done, not before.
We'll move forward together when right wingers rejoin us in reality, not before.
You're so clever.you would replace "obsessed" with what word?
Stuff like this is why I will never again identify as a Democrat. It's become a party of nut jobs.Get over investigating the trump coup attempt? That comment would make you resemble pizzagate supporters, not the people investigating trump.
then "you're so clever idiot" it isYou're so clever.
If you know any specific threats let them know. I think it sounds like they're doing what they can recognizing the issue and acting to remove agents. Which of course Republicans would attack as partisan to not allow trump loyalists whose loyalty to Biden is in question.
I mean you've lied in every one of these threads so why stop now right?That's pretty much a given considering how they killed dozens of cops, went after counter protesters and burned them alive on the street. America has never seen anything like the horror show actually might have happened on 1/6...in the minds of so many liberals.

How can you declare that there was absolutely no riot plan? We won't know that answer until the DOJ concludes its investigation. In the meantime, it certainly appears that some members of the GOP knew something was up.
'Stop the Steal' organizer Ali Alexander told Jan. 6 committee about contacts with Republican lawmakers
Ali Alexander met with the House committee on Dec. 9.abcnews.go.com
Jan. 6 protest organizers say they met with GOP representatives such as Paul Gosar, Madison Cawthorn, and Lauren Boebert ahead of Capitol insurrection: report
Two organizers who say they planned Jan. 6 protests across the US told Rolling Stone they met with GOP representatives or their teams "back to back to back to back."www.businessinsider.com
Well, you're the one who said 'sure, they have tried to root out agents with questionable loyalty, but they need to do it again'. Pfffft...How would I ever know of specific threats. Pffftttt...
1. Because Raskin wouldn't be hyperventilating over that which the OP is about. He would be focused about riot conspiracies.
2. Nothing in the stories indicate a riot-- instead its about efforts to contest the election results.
Which thus far, progressives have declined to say doing so is illegal.
The nut jobs are the ones saying that the trump attempted coup is only about nut jobs. If you're saying anything other than that the coup is a serious problem needing investigation, the Democratic Party agrees you don't belong in it. It's for sane people.Stuff like this is why I will never again identify as a Democrat. It's become a party of nut jobs.
Huge things have come from it and more will come.Nothing will come of this. Democrats have wasted like a year and a half of their time, and counting.
People died and you think it was awesome?The democrats know they are really hosed this election and the only things they can do to help themselves will be bad for their base, so the only option is to go all in on reminding Americans about the electoral justice protest, which was awesome and in due time will be taught as a major event where the people stood up to the regime
To be fair, I'd be willing to write that off as a rhetorical, symbolic message - it's other things that are convincing many were willing to commit violence.The gallows erected outside of the capitol was quite the symbol of their intentions.
Too bad. It has to be done, for the good of the country.Nothing will come of this. Democrats have wasted like a year and a half of their time, and counting.
The intention was not a protest. The intention was to stop the "steal"- a made-up lie. You'd have to be stupid to not know it was just a lie.
IOW, the intention was to disrupt American government with a hostile and violent take-over, based on a known lie, because they liked the lie. "Hang Mike Pence!" is not "protest election results".
Where were you on Jan 6 when Trump and all of his deplorables needed you to educate them?The election was "formalized"on 1/7-- at 324AM to be exact.
The world didn't fly off its axis.
The reality is that Congress does not 'certify' an election. Except in one instance, there is nothing affirmative they must do-- or can do-- for a president-elect to officially be the president-elect.
Nor can they do anything-- in any instance- to stop a president elect from being the president elect. That decision is made in December when the electoral college meets in their respective state capitols and vote.
Which they did and they elected Biden.
All Congress does in January is to witness the counting of the votes. Any substantive role-- the one instance-- they have would occur only if no candidate received 270 electoral votes.
But in Dec 2020 that wasn't the case.
The hysteria by Raskin on this story shows how the committee has absolutely nothing of substance to report.
People died and you think it was awesome?
Where were you on Jan 6 when Trump and all of his deplorables needed you to educate them?
Again, you would need to convince Trump and his minions of this, not your DP forum friends. During the early afternoon of 1/6, Trump was ignoring everyone else, sitting, watching, and waiting for the best moment to declare and then announce martial law, like he was going to save America. Once that happened, all bets are off as to how that scenario ends. At that point, you can take your binary set of options and stick it in a place where the sun rarely shines (I pre-suppose).Progressives need to make up their mind about all this:
Either Congress HAS the authority to "overturn" an election -- in which case alleged efforts to do so are perfectly legal and in which objections to it are nothing more than politics.
Or Congress does NOT have the authority to "overturn" an election-- in which case objections to alleged efforts to do so are nothing more than politics.
