A Russian MERC, you mean.
By the way, seen or heard from him lately?
I think your hero might have some answers, why don't you go ask him?
My hero? You mean my example of what an actual "overthrow" attempt may look like. You really don't speak English anymore do you?
 
Two guys had horned hats? lol well if you say so...
Richard Barnett did not wear a horned hat.

Google is a DNC censorship machine, why on earth would I do that?

You do realize you can use other search engines to find articles, right? Seems like you're making excuses to avoid reality.
 
insurrection, an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity by a group of its citizens or subjects; also, any act of engaging in such a revolt. An insurrection may facilitate or bring about a revolution, which is a radical change in the form of government or political system of a state, and it may be initiated or provoked by an act of sedition, which is an incitement to revolt or rebellion.​

The riot on 1/6 at the Capitol was not organized, nor a revolt, nor a rebellion.

Further, a legal definition:

'organized and armed' on 1/6? Nope.
'specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers' on 1/6? Nope.
The government was about to use its powers to make Joe Biden prevent that. The crowd did indeed try to prevent that, to “seize” the government’s powers. A crowd was indeed organized by Trump who told people to come to Washington, ordered that they be allowed to avoid devices that would find their arms, told them to March down to the Capitol. The crowd acted violently. What am I missing? How would you describe what happened if you don’t like the word “insurrection”? In case you missed it: 1- as he had several times in the past, Trump refused to accept the results of an election that displeased him; 2- as he had in the past, Trump told his followers to act violently.
 
He’s armed to the hilt.

Looks aggressive too.
"According to the filing, “The defendant traveled from his home in Gravette, Arkansas, to Washington, D.C. — a 16-hour drive — to take part in the “Stop the Steal” rally. On December 31, 2020, the defendant, who owns multiple firearms, purchased a “ZAP Hike N’ Strike 950,000 Volt Stun Gun Walking Stick,” in other words, a stun gun concealed within a collapsible walking stick.”

“At his hotel in Washington, on January 5, 2021, the defendant gave a group of onlookers a demonstration, discharging the stun gun in the hotel’s bar (and captured on surveillance video). The defendant thus showed himself to be a danger even before he stepped foot on the Capitol Grounds,” court documents state.


“Additional footage, recorded just before the siege at the U.S. Capitol, shows the defendant near a parking garage at Barnett’s hotel shouting, “We own this motherf*****. This is our country. This is our District. You want to f*** with us, bring it on!” The defendant was ready for a fight,” according to prosecutors.

Later in the filing, prosecutors described what Barnett did inside Speaker Pelosi’s office.

“At 2:50 p.m., the defendant is captured on surveillance video carrying an American flag and a cell phone while entering the doors that lead to the Speaker’s conference room adjoining the main office space. At 2:56 p.m., the defendant is captured leaving the main office doors of the Speaker’s Office with a phone in his hand. The lower part of the stun gun device can also be seen protruding from below his hip,” court filing states.

After Barnett left Speaker Pelosi’s office he was met by Metropolitan Police Department officer in the Rotunda of the Capitol.

“The government’s investigation has also revealed that, after leaving the Speaker’s Office, the defendant proceeded to the Rotunda. There, the defendant confronted law enforcement officers who were attempting to clear the Capitol by directing rioters to the Rotunda and its outside exit and guarding the wings of the Capitol from further intrusion by rioters,” the court filing states.

According to the court filing Barnett was captured on Metropolitan Police Department officers body cam video “aggressively demanding either to be allowed to go back to the Speaker’s Office, purportedly to get the American flag he left there.”

At one point during the confrontation with officers, which lasts several minutes, an officer attempts to press Barnett back, he can be seen gripping the stun gun device, which is under his shirt at his waist."

 
My hero? You mean my example of what an actual "overthrow" attempt may look like. You really don't speak English anymore do you?
You are welcome to try again, since you seem to stick with the whole "kegger gone bad" theory.
Why don't you bring as many of your "We the People" and don't leave the guns in the safe house across the river this time.

Joe Biden prevent what on that day?

The crowd did indeed try to prevent that, to “seize” the government’s powers.
Yup. You are a recurring mind reader and omnipotent (in your own mind), I'm sure.

A crowd was indeed organized by Trump who told people to come to Washington,
Sans any evidence, other than 'Peacefully protest' (code for attacking the Capitol, I'm sure you believe).

ordered that they be allowed to avoid devices that would find their arms,
It has been reported by a former member of the presidential protection detail over 2 administrations (one for each party) that this is a recurring point of conflict between ever administration and Secret Service. (Swing and a miss).

told them to March down to the Capitol.
You forgot to include the 'Peacefully Protest' part.

The crowd acted violently. What am I missing?
Ignoring:
'organized and armed' on 1/6? Nope.
'specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers' on 1/6? Nope.
Yep. I tell ya, it's like talking to a wall, with what doesn't go in.

How would you describe what happened if you don’t like the word “insurrection”?
It was a riot, as I've been posting now for some many pages. That hasn't gone in either?

In case you missed it: 1- as he had several times in the past, Trump refused to accept the results of an election that displeased him;
As have many a politician from both parties. Or is it that when Democrats say things like this it doesn't go in either?

2- as he had in the past, Trump told his followers to act violently.
Coded in 'Peacefully protest'?

You have allot of misconceptions, none of which you are going to give up.

Yeah, some will die with their misconceptions.

It sickened my stomach, (another of the hundreds of reasons I left the Democratic Party) to learn that there were partisan Democrats who actually believe George W. Bush was behind the bombings on 9-11.

Who cares what some nut jobs who call themselves democrats think?
Both parties have no shortage of nut cases.

9/11 trutherism isn’t a partisan affair.
 
That’s a pretty relaxed overthrow of the government.

Looks aggressive too.

Surprised he almost pulled it off with just street clothes.

Lot of these people were jokers. Doesn’t make them less traitorous
 
You know, for people who say they value Democracy, I have to wonder why they went along with the 1/6 Kangaroo court disgrace that totally dishonored this country.
In a word -- programmed.

When you had a President (Obama) doing the United States is bad tour you have no other option but to go along with the agenda or be ostracized by fellow democrats. They spend so much time trying to shame others that they know they will be the next target if they cross over to the "dark side". Just look at how Tulsi Gabbard was treated when she left the plantation. Or how Joe Manchin was when he wouldn't get in line with their agenda to destroy the Energy Industry.
