    “peacefully”

    He’s lying,…again.

    Some of the last words he said before the insurrection were “we have to fight like hell” and “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country”.

    “I’m not an Insurrectionist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, specifically pointing to his comments on Jan. 6 in which he encouraged supporters to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.”

    And then, when they rioted and broke into the Capitol, like you knew they would, you did nothing to stop them. You could have called in the National Guard. Instead, you told them you loved them. You loved them because they did your bidding.

      Not only does his inaction speak volumes, he also tweeted out about Pence “not having courage” and got on the phone to call Senators while the Capitol was being invaded to get them to halt the electoral vote count.

      Read the Colorado ruling, it’s worth it.

        Anyone still have the footage of the Trumps and their accolytes in those tents watching the Jan 6 capital invasion while toasting champagne?

          I have the hours of violence recorded in the main archway where they were using siege tactics and human battering rams to try to break through the main doors and the officers blockading it with shields, weapons, and massive amounts of teargas.

      One of the people in the White House wrote that he was transfixed by the tv coverage, refused to do anything to interrupt their momentum, and was angry they weren’t more aggressive (and also very annoyed that they weren’t better dressed / more classy).

      Sounds like something an insurrectionist would did say.

    I guess he wants us to get it right and say it was a failed coup.

    Insurrection: The act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government.

    Coup: A sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.

      It was a violent revolt against political authority. Specifically, congress.

      It was an coup attempt via insurrection.

        Umm… It was also a coup attempt by him cold calling his Rolodex and demanding they break laws against the federal election process.

    Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy, continuing a pattern in which the former president accuses his opponents and critics of the same thing he is accused of doing.

      Biden: Trump is an insurrectionist.

      The fact that the supreme court didnt immediately say the president doesn’t have immunity for attempting to dismantle our government system is tip toeing treason. Seems clear that insurrection is performed by an enemy of the state. How would delaying such a ruling not be considered giving aid or comfort?

      My favorite thing about that is that after Kinzinger told everyone Trump stinks, one of Trumps’ people responded by saying that Kinzinger once farted on live TV. Which, you know, is just as bad as a persistent shit smell. Everyone knows that once you fart, that fart stays with you for life.

    And on the 6th day, he insurrected.

    Insurrected sounds like a penis pill
