The Storming of the Capitol”: The four big lies underpinning this story show it was likely a staged event.

If you imagine the left had nothing to with the events that occurred in DC, think again.

“The Storming of the Capitol”: The four big lies underpinning this story show it was likely a staged event​

Not one single part of this story is true. …​

1. There was no “storming”. Rather videos show police opening barriers to let the “rioters” in.​

In the entrance hall, the “violent thugs” respected the velvet ropes and kept in orderly lines, took a few selfies with the cops, posed for the press and — when the main events were over — they were quietly allowed to leave.​

Compare and contrast the police’s treatment of those people inside the capitol, with their later treatment of protesters breaking curfew on the streets.​

2. There was no “incitement”. All of Trump’s social media posts on the subject instructed people to “go home” “with peace and love”.​

​

​

​

​

Is that inciting violence?​

Twitter and Facebook took the totally unprecedented step of completely removing those posts, and blocked him posting any further. They claimed to be preventing further violence, but it looks more like they concealed Trump’s denunciations of violence.​

3. There was no violence. Indeed whether or not Trump “incited” anything is moot, because there was no violence. Disregard the reports of chemical weapons, pipe bombs or IEDs — none of which ever appeared. None of the “rioters” are as yet shown to have hurt anyone.​

The only person reportedly killed or injured was a protester allegedly shot by the police. Compare and contrast the attitude of the media to this “violence”, vs the “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests all last summer.​

4. The riot ended Trump’s presidency. Although the Congressional session was widely described in the press as the “confirmation vote” for Joe Biden’s election victory, it was actually rather more than that.​

VP Mike Pence was chairing a joint-session which intended to allow full speeches from those opposing the election and maintaining there had been fraud.​

The violence brought this session to an end prematurely, totally undermined Trump’s legal and procedural challenges and killed any chance he had of overturning the electoral college vote. No sooner was the “attack” over, than many of the Republicans in both houses who were planning to oppose Biden’s election backed-down.​

More than that, it seems Trump’s “incitement” of the rioters means he may well be removed from office by enforcement of the 25th amendment, which would end not just this term, but make it illegal for him to run again in the future.​

Facebook and Twitter have outright banned him from posting. The press and television pundits are openly accusing him of treason and sedition.​

So, who has really benefitted from the “chaos at the Capitol”? Because it surely isn’t Donald Trump.​

One should always be wary of any event which “accidentally” achieves the exact opposite of its stated or apparent intent. …​

Some prominent voices are calling for all lawmakers backing Trump to be expelled from office. The Washington Post claimed “seditious Republicans must be held accountable”.​

The anti-social media campaign has begun again in earnest too, with Parler and GAB already being blamed for allowing “violent language” on their platforms.​

As Twitter and Facebook limit discussion, alternative platforms will be shutdown. Enforcing a corporate monopoly that cooperates with the state…the very definition of fascism.​

All this in the name of protecting the nation from “neo-nazi thugs” or “white supremacists” or other phantom threats. In the name of “protecting the constitution”, they are tearing it to pieces. In the name of “preventing a coup”, they are carrying one out in front of our eyes.​

You took trump haters to school,they can only sling shit in defeat like the monkey trolls they are. The trump haters
did not read your op obviously,they never look at facts that dont support their lies,they just read the thread title and claim you are a nutter.

Trump haters simply ignore the facts and go on another trump hating rant.

1) Yes it was stormed. Yes it looks like some police let them in, but there were other police who recognized that they were outnumbered..greatly. Then, there were the ones that beat their way in. Here's a small snippet.

You really need to stop with this bullshit. It was an insurrection. Period.

The insurrection went on in the states that changed their laws by edict to insure fraudulent ballots would be counted. The insurrection took place in those states that violated the equal protection clause in the Constitution treating voters differently because of their political affiliation. The insurrection took place in states that refused to hear in court the evidence presented. All kinds of civil rights were violated.

When a state deprives its citizens of their rights the Federal government can tep in and correct and use the military to see that those rights are restored. Try reading the law before running your lips.

No they weren't. States make their own election laws and conduct their elections accordingly. Either you believe in that Constitution or you don't. 65 lower court cases. 2 Supreme Court cases. Dismissed....well OK, one SC case dismissed for "standing".
No one's rights were violated. Nothing was "rigged". Nothing was "stolen". Trump lost. Biden won...because he got 7 million more votes than Trump did.
