Will there be another coup attempt if Trump loses or goes to jail?

Another coup attempt?

Was this under oath? To whom and how did Trump make this request? (Besides, if he actually made such a request, why didn't they show up?) Plus there are no Trump phone records during that time. Apparently he was too busy in front of his TV cheering on his "special" people who were assaulting and overrunning the law enforcement officers trying to protect the joint session of Congress and the Capitol building.

Always interesting what’s said when under oath.

Needless to say Pelosi wasn’t in charge of the Guard. It doesn’t even make sense that Trump would offer the Guard, they’re either ordered to be activated or not.

Christopher Miller served as acting defense secretary on Jan. 6, 2021. In a recorded deposition shared by the House committee investigating the attack, Miller said that Trump never gave an order to have National Guard troops ready.

Miller told the House committee that he formally approved a request from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for "unarmed D.C. National Guard support" for planned demonstrations on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021.

"We received no further request for different or additional support until the Capitol was breached," Miller said.

Ryan McCarthy, who was the U.S. Army secretary on Jan. 6, has also saidBowser’s request was the only one his office received before the attack.
Snip
Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone testified that he was unaware of Trump making any phone calls to the defense secretary, attorney general or homeland security secretary on Jan. 6.

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser, Gen. Keith Kellogg told committee investigatorsthat he never heard Trump ask for the National Guard or a law enforcement response. When asked by the committee whether he would have known if troops were to be present or called up for a rally near the Capitol, Kellogg said: "Yeah, I would have."

Guaranteed, if Trump is reelected the shit party will start all over again.

He'll take front stage, like the childish narcissist he is.

He'll be in the headline news each and every day, such a pathetic, self centered little man boy.

I live for the day when he's finally locked up.
He was the headline every day because the left made it that way. Anything and everything he said and did was magnified by the DNC and the Democrat tribe because he was taking away THEIR power and they didn't like it. People like Podesta made millions while the Democrats were in power. Guys like that who never were elected by the people but had contacts in the government. He and his brother raped Haiti for millions with a no-bid contract and did no work. He is but just one small example of why people behind the scenes wanted to get rid of Trump. Before Trump, the Democrat administration had a direct pipeline to the press and gave them juicy tips on upcoming and current events. With Trump there, that spigot closed.

Your continual gaslighting that Trump had a shit party is only because the MSM made it seem that way., His 35,498 "lies" amount to nothing more than predictions, exaggerations, or twisting of what he said. He was NOT a liar ]by any means and Biden tells more lies in a day than he did in 4 years.

He'll be in the headlines because ALL of MSM needs their demon in order to instill fear and hate into the masses, just like they lied about "collusion" and Ukraine. Your side will accomplish that because fear and hate make the tribe do what they want them to do, which is to bring down the king. The Democrats and left are despicable hateful, evil people.
 
For a POTUS that incited an "insurrection" Trump sure had a silly way of being successful at it by offering to send NG to bolster the Capital Police.
That is totally and completely false. Want to post about Jan 6 then start first with getting your facts straight.
 
I appreciate the clarity.

MAGA is a campaign slogan. Nothing more, and it's being used as an anti-American pejorative toward 74 million, many who no longer support Trump.

People who had nothing to do with 1/6 and reject the violence that took place on 1/6, having denounced all, are being labeled MAGA semi-fascists, or MAGA extremists, Maggats. This doesn't bolster the arguments of leftists, so why do they do it?
Oh I thought it stood for Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.

You didn't even bother to take the time to read the source, did you?
Is that what you say when you can't answer the questions?

Yes, I read your "AmericanMilitaryNews" source. Kellogg claims "On 3 Jan the President asked the Def Dept to deploy NG troops’ into DC for J6 contingencies." So maybe you can explain why they were not deployed?

To confuse the issue, your first link [in post 387] claims "Trump ordered National Guard troops and federal protective services personnel to the U.S. Capitol after pro-Trump demonstrators stormed the building." No mention of Kellogg in that link. But if Trump called someone to order up the National Guard after the Capitol had been stormed, you'd think that such a call would be in the White House call logs. Curiously, there's a 7 hour gap in the WH call logs. An investigation into the incident discovered:

“He [Trump] did not call the military. His Secretary of Defense received no order. He did not call his Attorney General. He did not talk to the Department of Homeland Security... Mike Pence did all of those things; Donald Trump did not.”​

 
How many guns were brought by the rioters into the Capitol?

It was a "gun-free insurrection".
Right., prinarily thanks to DC gun laws, and the fact that they thought the had the numbers and the backing of the President.

They don't get a pass for being morons.
 
I see @jpevans never got back to answering my question.
What questions is that? I was busy, you’re not the only poster I dealing with here. Sometimes I answer one post it goes to the bottom of the page & I lose my place.
So sorry to keep you waiting…😇
 
They found a few guns, but none were shot, so in that sense it was a gun-free riot.
I don't think they even found a few guns inside the Capitol.

But even if they did, why wouldn't the "insurrectionists" bring a shitload of guns? Were they trying to do a bargain basement coup?

When John Brown started his abortive insurrection in 1860, guess where he went first? The arsenal at Harper's Ferry, to get as many guns as he could get his hands on. That's what an actual insurrection looks like!
 
They did. The kept them in their cars and hotel rooms. Don't you read the news?
The MSM that lies and brainwashes people with a narrative?

These people don’t even realize they are brainwashed.

They just parrot the lies as if they were truth.

Where have you been?
 
He didn't ASK.
Learn to read. @Overitall wrote that he "offered"

Learn to debate.
He didn't "ask". He "offered". WTF does that even mean? That's not how it works. You draft or direct orders through the proper channels and document them. Learn the facts first.

One thing is certain. I'm not going to get accurate facts from you.
I have yet to see a single instance in here of you getting accurate facts from anyone or anything. These 'requests' by Trump for the National Guard never happened.

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT​

  • There is no record of former President Donald Trump authorizing or requesting thousands of National Guard troops for the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
  • Several Trump administration officials who have testified before the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 said they never heard Trump request National Guard support before or during the attack.
  • Congressional Democrats did not deny a request for troops. The D.C. National Guard reports only to the president. If such a request had been made, they would not have had the authority to deny it.
 
Thanks for proving me correct.

That doesn’t look like the capitol.
Holy Christ dude! You can't be really this bad at reading and comprehension. The poster said they didn't bring all their weapons to DC or the Capitol. They stashed them in Arlington Va. hotels across the river DC or in vehicles just outside DC and the Capitol. The plan was when Trump invoked the Insurrection act and deputizes the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the speed boats they had standing by would then be deployed to quickly deliver weapons and ammunition across the river to DC.

Your own link has a blaring contradiction in it.
Miller told the House committee that he formally approved a request from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for "unarmed D.C. National Guard support" for planned demonstrations on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021.
Miller works under the direction of DJT. Where did he get the authority to give "formal approval" for ANY NG being deployed?
 
For a POTUS that incited an "insurrection" Trump sure had a silly way of being successful at it by offering to send NG to bolster the Capital Police.
Providing a legal meaning concerning the reality of the word insurrection. Tired of reading the false definitions being used. 😊

Please note: The important word “Armed” as in Big Gun Firepower which would be needed to take down the full Power of The United States of America.

Also note the: Whereas portion of the text. “Whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society.”


“Insurrection refers to an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government. It is a violent revolt against an oppressive authority. Insurrection is different from riots and offenses connected with mob violence. In insurrection there is an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society.”

“The following is a case law defining Insurrection:”

“Insurrection means “a violent uprising by a group or movement acting for the specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers. An insurrection occurs where a movement acts to overthrow the constituted government and to take possession of its inherent powers.” [Younis Bros. & Co. v. Cigna Worldwide Ins. Co., 899 F. Supp. 1385, 1392-1393 (E.D. Pa. 1995)]”

Only 40 something people were arrested on J6th. Guns were recovered nearby.

Great post ChariseRose presenting actual facts relative to the subject of the meaning of words. The .leftist's leaders know what you provided is accurate, but in the environment of a woke (more properly called "asleep at the switch") mob they figure they can get away with the redefinition by demonizing all MAGA supporters. I, sadly, think they are succeeding.
