I am confused. If the 'rioters' were trying to overthrow the government in a desperate act of 'insurrection' then how come no one brought weapons and no one was killed except a Trump supporter?
It's almost like they are spinning a narrative completely devoid of reality?

Or do you think photos like these were staged by the "liberal media?" Do you think that "radical leftists" were the ones who actually agitated the crowd to violence?
You were not there obviously - but did you see this?
These are democrats rioting in front of the white house. Where 5 secret service agents were injured. What? You didn't see the congressional hearings on this?

I am confused, if the insurrection wasn't a planned part of a coup attempt, what was the purpose of the "alternate electors" going to be?
Don't be distracted by the violence. The plan is evident from the significant work, planning, and orchestration to create "alternate electors" in seven battle ground states. Nobody can claim that was spontaneous or random.
The "alternate electors" is the giveaway. It was a coup attempt.
The difference of course is that democrat politicians did not start the riots and consistently condemn violence. Opposite on both accounts for Don.
Not taking a stance on the hearings because I’m not watching and don’t care. I had the day off work that day and watched it live and it was one of the most baffling things I’ve ever seen. Obviously more of a political stunt than an insurrection, but a wild political stunt it was.
We saw a guy who simply refused to accept the fact he lost the electon totally freaking out. he said before the election .....if I lose it was rigged.......so it was going to be rigged. There is no doubts at all Trump wanted to see exactly what we saw he is without question responsible for that mess.
Dude actually talked about Pence not signing off on this, did he really think that was going to happen, he was that far gone?
BUT........back then I wanted him out of there, but with the mess that Biden is I do wish we had him now. What is really sad is Ukraine, if Trump was here there is no invasion.
Joe Biden’s approval rating is 35% in the Quinnipiac poll. That’s the takeaway. No other reason to have these in prime time on major networks other than an attempt to help a floundering president and his party ahead of midterms.
don’t talk about “preserving democracy” blah blah blah.
When did the US become the largest Banana Republic in the World. When Trump referred to other countries as $h!t Holes did he ever wonder about glass houses.

So you believe that if Pence would have done what the Cheeto requested and not certified the election results Cheeto would not currently be in office?

Add yourself to the list of loyal Trumpees that currently infect our country.
Deflect, Distract, Demean but never engage on topic especial when it involves your Orange master's attempt at a coup.
Sorry. Just count me as one of the American voters who is more concerned with things affecting me on a daily basis. Things like gas prices, food prices, 401k tanking.
I think January 6th was an embarrassment and is something to be concerned with, I just think this is an obvious political stunt. Have hearings, whatever. It just doesn’t make sense to have it broadcast the way it is other than as a political ploy. If you’re too partisan to see that, oh well.
Anyone watch last night? Thoughts? What were some key takeaways?

I'm not a fan of Biden. I also agree with you that the spectacle element of the hearings is intended to sway public opinion / give the Democrats a boost in the midterms. That doesn't mean that Trump isn't a bad hombre, though, or that Jan 6 wasn't a coup attempt that is worthy of congressional investigation
