Hopefully only the "ice-breaker." If there's actual justice in this country ........ MANY, MANY more should follow. Prison terms - not wrist-slapping shit.
This should be played on EVERY media outlet permitted to be on the air in the U.S. No matter what side tries something like this - FACTS and TRUTH need to be front and center of what an insurrection and / or coup actually are - and what defines them. Thanks for posting this video clip, Tyrsonswood.
Trump claims peaceful self-defense for himself, the same as some of his rioters have done who attacked the police. Donald Trump Defies Belief With New Spin On ‘We Fight Like Hell’ Speech From Jan. 6 excerpt: “Honestly, I have nothing to hide,” Trump told Ingraham during a conversation about a federal appeals court’s refusal to let him block the release of records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 violence. “I wasn’t involved in that,” Trump declared. “And if you look at my words and what I said in the speech, they were extremely calming, actually.” Instead, Trump claimed, the insurrection took place on Election Day, and the attack on the Capitol was just a protest.
Trump telling his adherents to peacefully walk to the Capitol to fight like hell is like giving boxes of matches to little kids and telling them to play like hell but carefully in the dynamite shed.

Trump comes up empty again, this time in Wisconsin after a ten-month long investigation of alleged voter fraud. Wisconsin election "audit" concludes with a whimper
Wisconsin election "audit" concludes with a whimper excerpt: "Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who was tapped to head the taxpayer-funded Republican-led audit, courted controversy earlier this year when his ties to Lindell surfaced. Gableman even attended Lindell's heavily mocked South Dakota "cyber symposium," which also failed to prove election fraud had occurred. Moving forward, a major fissure in the Republican Party is forming over how much emphasis to put on false allegations of election fraud — and with Trump eyeing the 2024 nomination, it's a problem that won't be going away anytime soon. Even after these high-profile defeats, elected officials like Rep Brian Babin of Texas have said things like: "We need to make sure that we're getting to the bottom of some very abnormal, anomalistic, strange or irregular things that happened, so that we don't have a repeat of that. We've got to have confidence in our election." Other Republicans, like Rep. Dan Crenshaw, have said that they've grown tired of the investigations into the 2020 election. He said Trump's obsession over his loss is "absolutely unhelpful," to the GOP, adding that "When I talk to voters, I am very blunt with them. I say, 'Stop being self-defeating. Get out and vote.""
A retired U.S. army colonel apparently was one of the people behind the PowerPoint document that tried to show how U.S. democracy could be overthrown for Trump with the help of the military. https://www.washingtonpost.com/inve...a67938-59df-11ec-9a18-a506cf3aa31d_story.html excerpt: "A retired U.S. Army colonel who circulated a proposal to challenge the 2020 election, including by declaring a national security emergency and seizing paper ballots, said that he visited the White House on multiple occasions after the election, spoke with President Donald Trump’s chief of staff “maybe eight to 10 times” and briefed several members of Congress on the eve of the Jan. 6 riot. Philip Waldron, the retired colonel, was working with Trump’s outside lawyers and was part of a team that briefed the lawmakers on a PowerPoint presentation detailing “Options for 6 JAN,” Waldron told The Washington Post. He said his contribution to the presentation focused on his claims of foreign interference in the vote, as did his discussions with the White House. A version of the presentation made its way to the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, on Jan. 5. That information surfaced publicly this week after the congressional committee investigating the insurrection released a letter that said Meadows had turned the document over to the committee. “The presentation was that there was significant foreign interference in the election, here’s the proof,” Waldron said. “These are constitutional, legal, feasible, acceptable and suitable courses of action.”"
Even worse, relative to Democrats, Trump and the GOP actually did better with Dominion voting machines in WI in 2020 compared to 2016.
