It would help if Twitter didn't delete his two tweets asking people to leave the capital, go home, etc.
But of course my point was that your assertion that the "pathological liar" is obviously lying. In the Russia collusion hoax, it really was everyone else that was lying the whole time. It was indeed a soft coup conspiracy between the Clinton machine and the FBI, like the "pathological liar" said all along. Only a simpleton would assert that because someone lies about the size of their inauguration they are lying about everything.
Ahh, but the Texags thread that day that was ongoing posted the tweets as they occurred. That's why any online that day can be more sure of what really happened. But it is true that Trump did start out taking swipes at Pence because its before he learns what is going on, and its after wrapping up his speech.
Agree. Watching it live as it unfolded and the posts here were following in detail. Saw the twitter posts from Trump and then POOF! They were gone
I remember Pence releasing that statement right before he went to the Capitol or even while he was already there and commenting how stupid it was to release that when he did, if ever. Seemed to me to be a set-up for Trump to provoke something from him at the time. Very weird timing, given that House and Senate members were prepared to present challenges for different states. Pence poohed-poohed them before the joint session even started.
Why?
Now that is a good point and a separate matter. I remember that vividly, and was pretty angry at Pence for doing that. It undermined what Cruz and Hawley were going to be presenting that afternoon, and had in fact started to begin when what would become the intrusion started to ramp up outside. Pence made that dumb announcement before Trump's speech was even over, and it colored Trump's reaction (with reason) because it basically said they were not going to even consider what was being presented that afternoon.
It is that "pre-decided" character throughout that is why people were suspicious and angry that day and remain so. As for Pence's decision in general, as said before, it was a situation calling for a Nelson, not a boy-scout if it was going to be attempted to argue. He didn't even let Cruz and the others try --- it was
ruined already, before what would become the Capitol riot near the end of the next hour. That is why many there are angry as it unfolds. They were not on Jan 5.
Tip: Full news broadcasts of that day, if recorded live, preserve the order of the tweets and the when. They would stick them up on screen as they occurred.
