The Dems also used the pretext of the Jan 6 riot to concoct a national strategy to counter "domestic terrorism" (domestic terrorism defined as anything conservative )

In this effort they did enlist social media and the woke mob as previously mentioned. Suppression, deplatforming, cancelation, social media mobs were all tools employed . Those targeted did not only lose their means to engage in the public square . They were also threatened with their jobs ;their families threatened .

The purge expanded to purges on anyone who expressed opinion counter to the official narrative in any issue be it CRT ,the origins of the virus ,the draconian government response to the virus and taking the jab.

Don't believe me ? Then why is the inventor of MRNA technology ,Dr. Robert Malone, purged ? "15 days to slow the spread" metastasized into assaults on speech, religion, commerce, justice, election law and every other aspect of American life. Those who chose to not get vaxed are treated as traitors.

Any questioning of the results of the 2020 election could subject someone to sanction .

The sad truth is that this is the only way the administration can counter dissent of their failed policies .

Ole Joes social and fiscal policies are plenty popular even as Sinema and that other Joe dude continue to balk. I get you guys have no interest in the truth and finding out the ex lying cheating dufus and his minions were and still are a worse lot than previously thought. You conservatives can't make enough noise to hide the stench of what you have foisted on the country or even offer to clean up your own still growing mess.

Hannity is the next monkey in the barrel. This should be interesting.

Try posting some genuine truth. We can discuss it. Remember to document.

You do your thing anyway you want. I'll do mine whether you agree with my truth or care to discuss it.

Hannity is the next monkey in the barrel. This should be interesting.

Yeah that rabble rouser texted Mark Meadows suggesting that the President should ask people to peacefully leave the Capitol.

The President then made the public appeal .

“You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt”

Twitter locked down Trump's account over his appeal . Then they removed the tweet he sent asking people to peacefully leave the Capitol.

Twitter then went further and banned users who retweeted Trump's appeal.

But that goes hand in hand with Twitter's complicity in advancing the Dem's agenda . Kam the Sham went on a campaign in the days before the election to get Trump off the platform

2020 candidate Sen. Kamala Harris calls on Twitter to suspend President Trump's account - ABC News (go.com)

At the time Nick Pacilio, who served as Kam's communications director when she was still California attorney general ,was the senior communications manager at Twitter .

Three other text messages from Hannity dated before the riot discussed Hannity’s concerns over the president’s strategy to turn the election. Hannity told Meadows that Trump should go to Florida and become a vocal supporter of election reforms.

<sarc> Clearly that proves Hannity was colluding with the President in a coup attempt</sarc>

The texts prove that in the days following the riot., Hannity struggled to convince Trump that the election was over — and suggested he was working closely with Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan , to get Trump to back down.

Great post. It will be interesting to see if facts sway any opinions here.

A blast from the past ..........

(this is from CNN so it must be true )

A total of 214 people have been indicted so far on felony rioting charges in connection with the Inauguration Day protests in downtown Washington.
On the morning of January 20, protests over Donald Trump’s inauguration turned violent when black-clad “anti-fascist” protesters smashed storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police.

Inauguration Day protests: More than 200 indicted | CNN Politics

But that was a "mostly peaceful protest "
The DC Police had said that the several hundred demonstrators who actively confronted officers were vastly outnumbered by the thousands of nonviolent protesters who swarmed the nation’s capital for Inauguration Day and the Women’s March, held the day after.

The bias is so plain that only the intentionally blind will fail to see it.

Art 1 Sec 9 says that no 'bill of attainer ' shall be passed.

What is a bill of attainer ? It is an act of a legislature declaring a person, or a group of people, guilty of some crime, and punishing them. The powers of Congress in this case are impeachment ;something the Pelosicrats have already attempted .

The "tainting of the truth" begins. There was one death on 1/6 which was a unarmed woman shot with no warning by a capitol policeman. The so called "bipartisan" committee has managed to stretch that to seven by including heart attacks and suicides. As tragic as any death is, there was really only one that can be directly linked to 1/6. Reporting seven more adequately serves the purposes of the liberal dem majority.

WASHINGTON — As a pro-Trump protest turned into a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year, four people in the crowd died.

• Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to breach the House chamber.
• Kevin D. Greeson died of a heart attack, collapsing on the sidewalk west of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
• Rosanne Boyland appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters as they surged against the police.
• Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.

Mr. Greeson and Mr. Philips died of natural causes, the Washington medical examiner said in April. He added that Ms. Boyland’s death was caused by an accidental overdose.
In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.

• Officer Brian D. Sicknick of the Capitol Police, who was attacked by the mob, died on Jan. 7.
• Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department killed himself after the attack.
• Officer Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police also died by suicide four days afterward.

The Capitol Police had previously said that Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters.” The Washington medical examiner later ruled that he had died of natural causes: multiple strokes that occurred hours after Officer Sicknick’s confrontation with the mob. The medical examiner added, however, that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”
A bipartisan Senate report, released in June, found that the seven deaths were connected to the Capitol attack. But the report was issued a month before two Metropolitan Police officers — Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag — died by suicide in July.
The police agencies have not classified the four total suicides as “line of duty” deaths that would provide the victims’ families with enhanced benefits. Washington law excludes suicide deaths from the line-of-duty designation.

New video that a judge ordered released shows a protester ,Victoria White,who has been charged in 6 counts ,being beaten a number of times by the Capitol Police . She took dozens of baton blows and was punched in the face 5 x . What was she doing ? She was telling protesters to stop and leave. She was pushed into the entrance by the crowd and then cornered by police . This video is enhanced to show part of the beating she took . Her crime evidently was wearing a MAGA hat. At one point she raised her hand and attempted to stop a baton from beating her .The rest of the time she was defenseless.

Stephen Horn on Twitter: "Finally finished doing some editing and graphics on the video of Victoria White being in the tunnel at the Capitol. A bit of enlargement, contrast, and red arrows to show where she appears in the footage. This is the first set of blows from the officer in the white shirt: https://t.co/uGS9u42b6x" / Twitter

The orchestra plays the intro. "Harris describes Jan. 6 alongside Pearl Harbor, 9/11 as dates that 'echo throughout history.'"

Too early to decide but that may be already the dumbest comment of the year .

Why? Those were just tourists, taking pictures?

[tomder55]

Vctims died on 9-11 from a terrorist attack . Patriots died from a Japanese sneak attack at Pearl Harbor . There is zero equivalence between the Jan 6 riot and those events . Her hyperbolic comments are way off base and woefully lack historic perspective . Her comment is unhinged . You had the sinking of the USS Arizona at Pearl . You had the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9-11 . On Jan 6 you had some clown dressed as a Shaman with his feet on Madam Mim's desk.

If she is looking for comparisons she should look no further than the destruction in Portland when rioters attacked a Federal Court and tried to torch it with Federal Officers still inside . If she is looking for comparisons look to the law enforcement lives lost and the destruction in the riots of 2020 .

[jlisenbe]

Dead at Pearl Harbor more than 2400.
Dead at Twin Towers more than 2600.
Dead on 1/6. One.

Surely KH can do the math.

[Wondergirl]

Our own citizens were attacking not only our freedoms but also our legislators.

[tomder55]

Many crimes took place at the Capitol Jan 6 2021. Demonstrators rioted, destroyed government property and in some instances engaged in acts of violence. Those who violated the law should be prosecuted and, if convicted, sentenced accordingly. But dramatizing a riot as an organized armed insurrection is demagoguery and political gaslighting.

Kam the Sham has no perspective. In Portland for a month ,lawless attempts to torch a Federal court building with Federal officers inside went unanswered by Dem controlled prosecutors

[tomder55]

Maybe designate January 6 as Dems love cops for a day .

[Wondergirl]

But dramatizing a riot as an organized armed insurrection is demagoguery and political gaslighting.

Not organized at all. If it had been, they would have done a better job of it. Spreading poop and spraying pee on walls and floors, trashing offices, bashing windows and people with gun butts et al., and for what purpose? What was their aim?
