    American Republicans declared civil war on the rest of us on Jan 6th in their treasonous, terrorist attack on the Capitol in effort to become America's first fascist, white supremacist, Christian dictatorship. They’ve made threats of slaughtering people not fully MAGA including even Republican RINOs and their chants of ¨Hang Mike Pence!¨ in the Capitol and prepared gallows proves their point.

    If they had reached Pence and congress people before they made it to safety a minute prior, they'd have taken hostages, killed many more people and they'd likely still have control over the Capitol today in effort to make Drumpf a dictator which would empower them to slaughter non MAGAs around the country too. Treasonous terrorists! I think their plan since before Drumpf even decided to run for office in 2016 was for this presidency to end in dictatorship, one way or another, and I've been screaming it in social media since then.

    The Jan 6th terrorist coup attempt was done by white supremacists.
    The Jan 6th terrorist coup attempt was done by Republicans.
    Both are true statements. Republicans are still fighting for a white supremacist dictatorship.

    There's no Excuse as to why the National guard wasn't called in for 4 hours when you could see in real time what was happening!

    There were multiple law enforcement agencies AT THE READY and they received no calls. They were ready and waiting for the word. Seven different law enforcement agencies work in and for the Capitol.

    Good grief! Onlookers in other Western nations have seen this coming for more than 4 years. Violence-worshipping, alternate-"reality", obedient-to-authoritarians ignorance has been promoted in the USA for decades. tRUMP has used the threat of armed losers for 4+ years.

    Im glad steve Sund was removed EVERYBODY on twitter knew this was going to happen. WORSE DJT told you so. I wonder who mr sund voted for…and was he as influenced as ted cruez and josh hawly to do nothing. To find later that Michael flynn brother was aware of the riot and took no action to redeploy …the hen house has been compromised. then the idea they are saying NOBODY got the FBI report…really.

    Capitol riot: why didn’t Capitol Defenses deploy Claymore mines and barbed wire? (In defense of a predominantly White Horde). If it were a predominantly Black/”colored” horde (ca. 5,000 persons), armed, with weapons and live ammunition, calling for “revolution”, (Black Panthers,”AntiFa”, etc. notwithstanding) would the “preparation’ have been different? (i.e.

    Redcoat-style alignment/firing formations?) Furthermore, as past is precedent, what may have been the death-toll? Republican Senate hearing on Capitol Assault is blaming the success of the Seditionists on the failures of the Capitol Defenses ( tactic not unlike those of “the former guy”… blame others, not the behaviors of the Sedition Caucus): To wit: after reading a litany of hearsay, Sen. Johnson indicates that Capitol Defenses instigated the violence. The FBI did not “raise the threat level sufficiently”… for the Capitol Defenses to respond sufficiently (the FBI does not “command” those forces; as they did at Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.)

    They need to call Trump to attend the investigation and ask him questions,he knows exactly why no help came.

    Thousands of extremely stupid idiots fighting for Trump. Then hundreds arrested by FBI. What did Trump does? Trump went to play golf. He doesn't even care about you, rioters. Once you are charged in courts, it can be 10 to 60 years in prison. You lost all Social Security. Trump made rioters look stupid. Did he march with rioters? He was in the WH watching rioters fighting on TV. In fact, he was very happy. Full grown adults with stupid brains. The real losers are the rioters.

    Any security officer with a brain should have seen it coming, that's basic professional intelligence, " Nobody told me" just doesn't wash. There was a good deal of complicity here.

  22. @zenflare

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    Four and a half hours is a long time. I hope that a more complete investigation will be done.

  23. @zenflare

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    Why didn't security officials check their intelligence? Why did security officials prepare for Black Lives Matter protests, but refused to check their emails before the armed insurrection?

  24. @zenflare

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    The Capitol police were betrayed by the armed forces and by the president. None of them should have suffered any issues. They didn't deserve this.

  25. @zenflare

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    The U.S. army can attack other countries, but it can't defend elected officials during an armed insurrection? I don't buy it.

  26. @zenflare

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    The bad actors have had time to organize conflicting narratives. The buck stopped with Trump, and he could have ordered the military to intervene, but what would the military be able to do without resorting to force? I can't believe that the military wasn't aware that Trump supporters at the rally were marching towards the Capitol. The National Guard should have been brought in then before they arrived at the doorstep of the Capitol. They had the intelligence, but their executive chief didn't want them to act on it. The Democrats should have done a full investigation in the Senate. Now, we will never know what happened, and there will be name calling between officials who will avoid putting the blame on the former leader of the executive branch, President Trump.

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    Donald Trump's enablers made sure that The National Guard was delayed.
    Delayed so that The Mob had more than enough time, to overrun The Capitol!
    And to stop the Electoral Count!

    OMGOODNESS. THESE ARE HORRIFIC TESTIMONIES FOR THE TRUE ASSAULT THAT TOOK PLACE ON JANUARY 6, 2021 ON THE CAPITOL HILL (INSIDE AND OUT). THANK YOU FOR YOUR MINDFUL REPORTING. HUMANITY MATTERS.

    There were Proud Boys randomly attacking people on the streets of DC in the weeks before January 6th. Gangs of Proud Boys were ganging up on individuals and violently attacking them. In one case, they went after a black guy who was just standing against a wall smoking a cigarette while he took a break from work. The idea that violence on January 6th couldn’t be predicted is absurd! There was plenty of warning and signs that Trump’s followers were ready to get violent.

  33. @Paul-lm5gv

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    Let's find out why the House Sergeant-at-Arms refused a request from the capitol police for the National Guard days before Jan. 6!!!!!! He thought it would be bad optics??? Does anyone think he made the decision without first consulting with Nancy Pelosi???!!!!

  34. @animalloverandericadetmer5485

    January 28, 2024 at 10:49 am

    It’s because Trump literally broke the system I wish some of them wouldn’t have resigned because they were good people that was not appropriate because Trump made them all break

    Bull crap everyone in america knew this was comming unless your incredibly stupid. They're in on it.

    The former administration is full of conspiracy. Starting from the head to the toes. The same way John Kennedy was assassinated. Nothing is going to change. Once you get the head. You did it Osama bin Laden. Insurrection organizations need to be in prison.
