Oh stop!

These rioters were never any threat to anything. They are mostly a rag tag bunch of losers that accomplished nothing other than a criminal record.

Trump trying to subvert the rule of law to stay in power also failed massively. His fake elector plan was rejected by everyone that mattered.

There was some threat. I'm glad you acknowledge Trump's concerted effort to break the law.

---

K. So maybe you can explain to me how this is what these folks who actually got through did?

Hey, a little warning when posting graphic violence and injuries. Come on Man.

An official timeline of the Jan. 6 tragedy assembled by Capitol Police shows that a Defense Department official reached out to a Capitol Police deputy chief, Sean Gallagher, on Jan. 2, 2021 to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a consultation with then-Chief Steve Sund.

---

Quote:

---

On Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, just hours after Gallagher rejected the Pentagon's initial offer, the Capitol Police issued a new and darker security assessment to its commanders and executives and to the two political appointees in Congress responsible for security, the House and Senate sergeants at arms, the timeline shows.

---

Quote:

---

Within 24 hours, Sund had changed his mind and began seeking permission from the political powers surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to deploy the National Guard as a preventive measure on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.

Quote:

"We went to the Capitol Police and the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies and Mayor Bowser days before January 6, and asked them, 'Do you want thousands of National Guardsmen and women for January 6?'" Patel said in a detailed interview earlier this year. "They all said no. Why did we do that? The law requires them to request it before we can deploy them. And the DOD IG found we did not delay, we actually prepared in a preemptive fashion, which is what we do at DOD."

---

Quote:

---

"The Capitol Police timeline shows what we have been saying for the last year that DOD support via the National Guard was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms, who report to Pelosi," Patel said. "Now we have it in their own writing, days before Jan. 6. And despite the FBI warning of potential for serious disturbance, no perimeter was established, no agents put on the street, and no fence put up."

Do we know which ones of these protestors are actually FBI plants yet or do we have to wait 25 years or so before that is revealed? (At least we didn't have to wait that long for the BS faux Michigan governor kidnapping BS...which still helped shape the November elections)

Yeah, but there aren't any hearings to investigate how Dem politicians encouraged and financially supported the rioters. Remember that little thing? January 6th was nothing compared to the Summer of '20 riots that Dems supported... not even remotely close

---

Illegally trying to takeover the U.S. executive is a big deal.

Anyone want to respond why it took Trump more than an hour to do anything productive to try to stop it?

---

He preemptively offered national guard assistance and additional security to the Capitol Police and Nancy Pelosi rejected it. Still waiting for the left to respond as to why their leaders didn't care enough to accept additional security.

---

Pence -- not Trump -- asked Guard troops to help defend Capitol on Jan. 6

---

Clob checks his notes--

Yup-- Pence was definitely a part of the Trump administration.

So what's your next bit of poppycock and gobbledygook?

---

Check your notes again.

Pence rejected Trump's plan. And Trump made his dissatisfaction known to the rioters by tweeting,

Quote:

---

Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.

---

Soon after, rioters in the Capitol were searching for Pence yelling "Hang Mike Pence!"

So what's your next bit?

How about, considering he was in the White House watching it on TV and was doing nothing to stop it.

Notice to All House Staff:

As you know, the first of several publicly televised hearings surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, occurred yesterday evening. These hearings include graphic new footage and testimony related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, which may be naturally unsettling or even re-triggering to some individuals within our community.

Please know that the professional counseling staff of the Office of Employee Assistance (OEA) are here to provide confidential support and problem resolution for individuals and teams impacted by these events or other stressors they may be experiencing.

Connecting with the OEA is as easy as calling 202-225-2400 or sending an email to schedule services or request immediate consultation, if needed. The OEA has also developed a toolkit to help managers and employees navigate stress and trauma in the workplace as staff continue to cope with the residual impact of these events. This toolkit can be downloaded for your own personal use and can be accessed on the OEA page on HouseNet.

More information about the resources, services, and offerings provided by the OEA can also be found on the OEA page on HouseNet.

Be well, and thank you for your continued service to the House.

The whole thing is a farce: the party whose ideology endorses revolutionary, even violent change in government is accusing the party that resists changes to the form and process of government of trying to overthrow the legitimate process of government.

It's just laughable from the start, and that's how you know it is also a contrived narrative constructed around only select data.

The Washington Commanders fined defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio $100,000 after his comments this week comparing the 2020 protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The team announced Friday that Commanders coach Ron Rivera levied the fine on Del Rio, which will be donated to the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund.

"This morning I met with Coach Del Rio to express how disappointed I am in his comments on Wednesday," Rivera said in a statement. "His comments do not reflect the organization's views and are extremely hurtful to our great community here in the DMV.

As we saw last night in the hearings, what happened on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 was an act of domestic terrorism. A group of citizens attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and as a result, lives were lost and the Capitol building was damaged.

Coach Del Rio did apologize for his comments on Wednesday and he understands the distinction between the events of that dark day and peaceful protests, which are a hallmark of our democracy. He does have the right to voice his opinion as a citizen of the United States and it most certainly is his constitutional right to do so.

However, words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community. I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the actions of those on January 6 who sought to topple our government.

So we are ignoring the fact that Trump consistently said Mike Pence should not follow the legitimate process of our government? He still says Mike should have never certified the election.
