Ex-Proud Boy Testifies Group Sought ‘All-Out Revolution’ in Capitol Riot

[WEATHER53]

Create the discredited moniker of “insurrection” and scream it over and over like children on a tantrum.

Coups generally require military help which may be why libs are requiring to be indoctrinated into sjw's......

Maybe you should go to one of their meetings and tell them that, tough guy.

No problem those rat bitches are a joke and they are weaklings, and wanna be tough guys

When they go to prison they will be food, because rats get extorted, because they are the weak.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Still didn't have any mechanism to take executive power, which is pretty much what a coup entails.

They had the mechanism to stop the transfer long enough for others to take it from there.

Not. Even. Close.

The inauguration was weeks away. They had no weapons to pull off any prolonged hostage situation.

And those "others" would be whom?

Simply proves neither party has a monopoly on outlying fringe nut case's.

Don't y'all be making light of this. These were some bad corn pops.

Jibber jabber
This rag tag bunch had no ability to overthrow anything nor install anything new and different
If the powers that be got “disrupted” then that is the intent of any protest

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Wow! So a few of these guys SAY they SOUGHT a revolution?!
Just look at the effect democrats have on people! Better get out the rope!

Meantime, I've heard democrats say 500 times that they seek a revolution.
But you know, 5 guys bare handed with flags and selfie sticks against the Biddum regime--- I give it about even odds!

And capitol police were waving them through. Lol.

And no mechanism to enforce their power, or pass any laws, or most importantly compel the fealty of any of the 50 other executive branches owned by the individual States.

Let's do a 2-in-1....and catch both of the posts quoted above:

Their "mechanism" for the so called 'coup'....was: Don Trump and the circle of his enablers around him.
They were the real insurrectionists who were going to effect a coup and remain in power.
They weren't kicking Biden and his team out of power......those folks were not yet 'in power'. Trump and his circle were intent on staying in power by any means....violence against uniformed Capitol Police and/or our elected Representative would be the 'rationale' for declaring an emergency and suspending the EC ballot count....and the peaceful transfer of power two weeks later.

The Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, III Percenters, and other RightWing Dimwits involved were merely the duped and snookered actors being used as the deus ex machina to allow Pence to call a halt to the counting of the EC ballots, and for Trump to declare an emergency due to the severe violence at the Capitol.

The Proud Boys were dupes. And being used. They were gonna be sacrificed no matter how this thing went down. The current administration and the DOJ were gonna get 'em. (and now are getting 'em)
Or, if Trump had engineered to stay in office.....he woulda offered them up as a component of his 'tough-on-crime' storytelling.

IMHO

Trump supporters have repeatedly claimed that January 6th was no an insurrection, yet this is coming straight from the horse's mouth. How much more evidence is needed as to the intentions of the capital rioters, especially when it's coming from the Proud Boys who practically the equivalent of Saddam's Republican Guard?

WASHINGTON—Members of the far-right Proud Boys were preparing for “all-out revolution” days before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and eyeing the potential for supporters of then-President Donald Trump to violently oppose the peaceful transfer of power, a former leader of the group testified Wednesday.

Jeremy Bertino, 43 years old, took the stand as a star witness for the Justice Department in its trial against former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four other members of the group who were charged last year with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. All five have pleaded not guilty to that and all other charges.

If the Capitol police was not reduced down to an unbelievably insufficient number, if other capitol police didn't literally open doors to let people in (on video) etc. etc. - this whole thing would have never happened.
Jan 6th became "jan. 6th" - because of a strikingly suspicious decision to woefully understaff security on a day - Congress was in session, a large protest was planned AND 3 separate law enforcement agencies warned capitol police that people in the crowd were planning to cause havoc.
Yet - there were only a handful of officers stationed - WHEN THERE ARE 2,300 capital officers.


And yes - many of us see how you all ignore all of this every single time you post about it.

This is where you're wrong. They knew that if the electoral count was stopped, that it would trigger the 12th amendment, whereby the presidential election would go to congress, like it did for the election of Rutherford B. Hayes.

And as the president is chosen by the 50 states representatives (as a single vote) with red states outnumbering blue states, would ensure a republican for president.

No they didn't. Lol. Wow.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

wow what a lame revolution

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

some stormed, some walked right in.

Still didn't have any mechanism to take executive power, which is pretty much what a coup entails.

Of course they did. They had a number of willing Representatives and Senators on their side. It would be simple to just declare the results of the election invalid while there was a mob circling the corridors and holding unfriendlies as hostages.

Trump was still President. What "mechanism" of executive power are you looking at "taking"? It was already acquired. The guy who lost and who orchestrated the coup....was sitting in the White House.

Did they?

No kidding. I'm glad these guys weren't running our previous revolution against the british crown.
