The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode XIV: T-minus 97 Hours

It’s just him, Mnuchin and Sonny Perdue that are going to go the distance right?

I guess prosecuted was too vague. I meant more end up in jail. No way so i see him ending up in prison. Like how would that even work? Does secret service have to be in there with him? You obviously cant put him in there with other prisoners

I think so. But considering the things that people believe these days it doesn’t surprise me at all. (And honestly, who the hell knows what would have happened if they killed a bunch of Congress people and Pence.)

Hold hostages, send out your demands, “We call on patriots everywhere, in the military, in the police force. Now is the time to rise up and join us in correcting this unlawfully rigged election!”

Things could have gotten weird.

Just absolutely no way Boebert wasn’t in on it. She needs to have every bit of electronic media and devices scoured for more evidence.

They could have some kangaroo court where they play out of context youtubes and “prove” the election was stolen.

I was informed by a pre-eminent substack journalist that no parler users were inside the Capitol.

This is totally normal for fash though, it doesn’t indicate anything planned. They just maced the police because for once the police were against them, kind of.

I agree. It’s tough at this time to keep everything straight (what I saw in real time vs what I saw afterward), but here is what I “remember” seeing:

  • Cops line up behind those bicycle rack barricades (in name only)
  • Crowd easily gets around/tosses aside barricades
  • Cops back up to bottom of Capitol steps
  • Crowd rushes steps in great numbers
  • Cops back up to top of steps/entrance to Capitol
  • Crowd breaches Capitol after meeting some resistance (no shots, no batons, no tear gas, etc.)
  • Cops run into Capitol
  • Crowd runs after them
  • Cops get out of way (I have since changed my stance on this point)
  • Crowd tries to break into House chamber but meets resistance (later learned one shot dead)
  • Crowd eventually breaches chamber (cops let them in after Members are secured)
  • Crowd eventually leaves building (no arrests as far as I can tell).

Trump must have this on a laminated card in his wallet.

They’ll just keep believing that Trump is actually running everything from Mar A Lago or whatever, they’re not at all constrained by reality.

Oh good

Weimer read a termination letter from Brock’s former employer that said he had talked in the workplace about killing people of a “particular religion and or race.” Weimer also read social media posts in which Brock referred to a coming civil war and the election being stolen from President Donald Trump.

Weimer said Brock’s posts also referenced the far-right and anti-government Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, a loose anti-government network that’s part of the militia movement. The Oath Keepers claim to count thousands of current and former law enforcement officials and military veterans as members.

If only he broke a window in a BLM protest instead of trying to overthrow the US government and kidnap people then he would get twenty years.

In today’s Utah Capitol update, I saw canine cops patrolling the grounds. So I’ll be on the lookout for pipe bombs and such while I’m out on my daily excursions.

It’s all cosplay until someone gets shot.

This was actually an incident of (Canadian!) police brutality and should not be laughed at. Unless you already did.
