There was an estimated 3 million people in D.C. to support Trump on January 6th. If they had wanted to overturn the government that day, there wasn't anything that anyone could have done to stop them. But they did NOT do that. Ergo--no insurrection, and accusing them of trying to create one is laughable and ridiculous. And the people who are persecuting them are the ones who REALLY ought to be in jail.

I'm almost sorry that Trump didn't see this coming and understand that if he brought that many people together, then--he had to use them or the vicious nasties in the bureaucracy would find a way to over-react to the challenge to their power and wealth that those 3 million people fundamentally represented. That said, if he doesn't get assassinated, and if he gets another chance at being president, he'd better clean house just as thoroughly as he promised to do the first time. There won't be a third chance.

Trump was aware of the potential problem but he was stopped by bureaucrats over the concerns about optics.

In my opinion, Trump both foresaw it and knew it had to happen. Lots more Americans had to wake up.

We ate already at ear, putin has shown restraint- sooner rather than later that will change. We will be fortunate if he only use a tactical nuke, on some land far away

“ I am just a compliant Branch Davidian trying to avoid being run over by a Federal tank and demonized by a compliant national “news” media”. Hysterical! And i agree, if an anti war person does not win in 2024, American children will be marching into Ukraine for no reason.
