Yes I can believe that lady could try that esp. the way the left acts!  Also these people could be paid to do it just to make the right look bad!
I'll let you in on a little secret, since I know people in the Government. The true instigators were actually left-leaning aliens from the Flat Earth Society who got bored during their weekly anti-vaccine meeting lunch break. Next week they're advising military abortion lab managers on the ineffectiveness of mask-wearing during the current Covid outbreak (or during surgery).

Ba-da-boom!

Wood, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, told CNN, "I made NO threat. I do not believe in violence. I do believe in the rule of law."
"I have reliable evidence that Pence has a engaged in acts of treason. My comments were rhetorical hyperbole. Any journalist should understand that concept. If my information is accurate, law enforcement will address what punishment, if any, should be administered to Pence as they do with all criminals," Wood said.
Wood posted on Parler on Thursday, according to Mediate, "They let them in. Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST."

"He represented Kentucky high school student Nicholas Sandmann"

How dare Parler infringe on Wood's freedom of speech!  Cut and paste a Davis rant right here: _______

Now Liz Cheney is on board for impeachment.

Biden gets sworn in on the 20th, and then in 4 years there will be an election which I predict will be rather normal stuff.  The system prevailed.

I'm not so sure about that. The DOJ filed a court ruling yesterday stating “the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government.”  There may have been some "frat boy" knuckleheads, sure, but those aren't the ones who showed up with stun guns, zip ties, and weapons.

But consider how things would have been different if the mob had included 25 or 30 armed and trained mercenaries.  Professional soldiers who were not crazy in the medical sense and who were not horn-wearing drug addicts.  Professional soldiers loyal to Trump.  It would have been a lot worse and it would have ended in a siege with countless dead.

I don't really have a point, other than Trump inspired a riot, not a well-coordinated coup attempt.  
Yes and no - horny guy was one of the knuckleheads.  However, there WERE a number of ex-military as well as cops in that crowd. The guys with all the zip ties in the helmet?  Ex AF officer of all things. I agree though that this was not a well-coordinated coup attempt. Trump is far too incompetent to ever come close to pulling something like that off.

My gawd man, you're acting like a QAnon conspiracy nut and a poor loser to boot.  
Yeah, hopefully not a father. But he's a son. Imagine what you'd think if your grown-ass adult son spent all his waking hours raging online at people he never met about things involving the latest conspiracy theories (and other nonsense).  I would sure wonder where the hell I went wrong.

I guess he has to make up for Trump's banishment from from all social media.

If only we could be so lucky, but I'd never want to shut Rich up. I do so enjoy his antics from time to time
Occasionally. Mostly it just sounds like the sad and pathetic rantings of a lonely angry middle-aged (fill in the blank).

Bruce Castor’s meanderings at the start of the impeachment trial

Trump's original legal team quit (big surprise), so now he's got these last-minute amateurs. A crappy legal team for a crappy ex-president. Kinda fitting, don't you think?  Unfortunately it's not going to matter since they're never going to get the 17 republican votes they need. It would be very interesting to see the outcome if the vote process took place by secret ballot.

I live in the suburbs of Fort Worth, TX and Biden actually won my county. Still, to my surprise, informal man-on-the-street polls show 80% support for a conviction. It won't happen, though. The jurors are, unfortunately, far from impartial.
They want to keep their jobs. They have to placate all the lunatics that are now part of their party (maybe they always were, who knows?).  You know, guys in horns, anti-science right-wing conspiracy nuts, and so on.

What happened to the republican party?  They need some serious damage control right about now.
