Yes, especially then. If they really want to succeed at, whatever, they need a different word for it.

I... it's refreshing, in a way, that tw isn't able to remember which one of the two groups I'm supposed to be in.
No matter how many times reality is posted, Flint will ignore it. What are those two groups? Extreme left and right 'adults are little different. Both remain a problem doing harm to this nation.'. Patriots are moderates who first learn facts long before making a conclusion. A fundamental difference exists between those who make informed decisions and others who make emotionally inspired accusations.
What was a greatest threat to America? 7 Dec and 11 Sept were bad but easily recoverable event. 6 January was a far more serious threat. Part of a massive threat to destroy the institutions that easily solved and averted future 7 Decembers and 11 Septembers.
Little difference exists between left and right extremists. Major differences exist between easily brainwashed extremists and the educated moderates.
Why do extremists not get it? Learning facts, when one has a 30 second attention span, means above two paragraphs are too long and too complex (more than 140 characters).
January 6 is a political myth
Only when one believed Constitutional processes necessary for a functional governement are secondaary. A hole in a Senate or 7 December did not and could not destroy Democracy.

I'm having trouble equating Dec7th and 9/11.

You're using too many brain cells. Remember, The TW only has two, and they don't speak to each other.
Or anyone else, for that matter.

An extremist must prove his manliness by insulting others. Hate, slander, and violence (ie The Big Lie) are somehow proof when one is not a patriot - not a moderate. The psychology of an adult who still thinks like a child.

Pretty disturbing hearing last night. Bob Barr and Ivanka Tr*mp both testified that they told Tr*mp he lost and there was no significant voter fraud. The committee intends to show that this was an organized coup attempt. Approximately 250 Proud Boys (stand back and stand by) launched an organized assault. The testimony from Officer Edwards was compelling especially combined with the attack video.

I watched too. Powerful and well documented stuff. It makes me wonder what the game plan is. They said Trump's actions were "illegal and unconstitutional," So if they prove that, and I think they can, are they going to jail him? Execute him? Somehow bar him from running again? What authority do they actually have?

The Committee doesn't have any power. The Justice Department would seem to have as much power as it has the stomach to wield. At a minimum, he should be banned from holding office but if proven I'd like to see him in chains on a prison ship. Old Timey Offense = Old Timey Punishment.

The justice department's investigation of January 6th is already the biggest law enforcement operation in the federal government's history, so I'd hope they have at least a little stomach. Merrick Garland, whom everyone knows should be on the Supreme Court, being the Attorney General instead, and his political opposition being literal criminals that it is within his purview to prosecute, has explosive potential.

Hitler use an attack on Germany's Capitol to become a dictator. Scary how so many, with contempt for knowledge and history, tried to do same in America.
This is causing major problems for America's overseas relationships. So many nations note how America elects extremists, then a moderate, then another extremist, then a moderate. And will again elect an extremist. So many nations look at disasters such as terminating the Trans Pacific Partnership and numerous nuclear non- proliferation obligations. Then ask why should they trust America any more?
Extremists - who declare themselves both as victims and heroes - are a major and serious threat to America. And to American allies.
BTW, China has now applied to joint the TPP. Since America (Trump) soured relationships with much of that alliance - using extremist rhetoric and lies.

This man is not a RINO.

RINO is the new Nazi word for Jew, Gypsy, Black, or anyone else who is inferior.
Hate recruits extremists who are emotional like a child. Who then know that "Hang Mike Pence" is a good thing.
RINO - another four letter word - profanity.
Offline
Whether he's a RINO or not depends on what you consider the "real" Republican party to be now.

Anybody watching the new witness (today's 06/28 hearing)?
Trump wanted to drive to the capitol after his speech, and when his security chief told him they could not secure the movement, he tried to grab the steering wheel of the car, his security chief had to grab Trump's arm, so Trump then tried to grab him by the throat.

Case closed. So much came out today. Watch the whole thing. Attacking his Secret Service protection was just the appetizer.

I was between meetings when she dropped that one. What a compete Holy Fuck moment. We Tivoed it so we could watch it last night.
They knew violence was coming and the President wanted the metal detectors removed for a bigger crowd shot...
There was a lot of subtle stuff like how deep individual officials were. Some were less involved, some more, and some were riding the brakes.
General Kelly plead the 5th when asked if he supported of the peaceful transition of power.
Hannity admitting the election was legit and trying to get the President to stop the riot was a surprise. Fox Entertainment should have run with that in November.
We got verification that the cabinet of sycophants actually did discuss the 25th Amendment.

Grabbing the wheel from the back seat does sound like something Donny would try.
Of course he would have had to maintain control of the SUV with his little hands all the way to the Capitol.
Does the head of the detail usually drive the car? Seems strange. Who else was in the car?
Even Dumbo would have known he would be saved from his brave attempt to lead the charge.
I still can see him (in maybe the same vehicle) jammed in with four or five SS guys going home from Walter Reed at the height of his Covid contagion with no mask. If he ever had it in the first place.
Then doing Mussolini on the White House steps. Or maybe he thought he was Patton.
And wasn't there again today, I wish he would go away.

Have to add this. What a comic movie could be made.
It must have been tempting to seal DJ in one of the decoys.
I wonder if he ever grabbed the controls of Marine One..
