Insurrection 2021

“So, on this anniversary, here’s a simple thought experiment: What if the other side had done it? What if in early January 2017, Democrats similarly attired and armed had stormed the Capitol and attempted to keep Congress from receiving the Electoral College results for the 2016 presidential election?

What if Democrats claimed that Donald Trump’s razor-thin victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin resulted from extensive voter fraud and should be rejected, despite having failed to establish in a single court that extensive fraud had actually occurred?

What if some of these Democrats breached the Capitol defenses and threatened violence against the Republican speaker, Paul Ryan, and Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell ?

What if they insisted that in his role as Senate president then-Vice President Joe Biden had sole authority to seat Hillary Clinton’s electors from any contested states and thereby hand her the presidency?

If this happened, would some of my fellow Republicans have accepted it as merely a protest? Would they have called patriots those charged with violent acts against our country, its laws and Constitution? Would they have accepted such extralegal means to change the outcome of a presidential election?

No they would not. I’m certain of that.”

January 6, 2022. What could possibly be the biggest news story on FOX? You guessed it:

I dunno, Cruz calling J6 a violent terrorist attack has caused quite the kerfuffle

Now on to Part 13 of our 69 part "no duh" series

Comment on a Fox News thread:

I worked as a staffer in the White House.  I saw Trump probably 3 to 4 times a day, when I would bring things in that he needed/wanted.  I was a big fan of his so it was kind of my dream job.  That dream turned into a nightmare as I got to know him, or at least, got to know of his character traits.  The weirdest thing I ever saw him do, isn't even the worst thing I witnessed.  Once I came into his office with a bucket of ice, filled with mini Diet Cokes and i saw his pants undone and he was kinda pushing his self up straight but in a chair. He was picking at what looked to be a diaper he was wearing.  He quickly sat back down and scooted his legs under his desk.  but i saw him slowly bring his hands up and smell them multiple times.  That was so gross that i decided then to keep my distance from him.

Pizzagate 2.0
Michigan woman arrested near Capitol had loaded shotgun, and she wanted to talk about Jan. 6, police say

Personally I think all those from michigan should be rounded up and put in those interment camps Beck was talking about…that would solve a lot of problems

trump wanted to seize NSA data hoping he could prove foreign interference in biden's victory

Memo circulated among Trump allies advocated using NSA data in attempt to prove stolen election
The proposal to seize and analyze ‘NSA unprocessed raw signals data’ raises legal and ethical concerns that set it apart from other attempts that have come to light


they really went for the kitchen sink approach to this coup… luckily nothing stuck (or, in several cases, even took off)

dang, pence isn't holding back - in a televised speech to the Federalist Society !
VP Pence: "President trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President trump is wrong."
