>> It would, of course, amount to an overcorrection if we attempted to characterize the riot as a middle-class insurgency. But many of the protesters who filled Washington's 17 Hilton hotels to capacity and made the Grand Hyatt's lobby their after-action lounge did not come from Dogpatch. Many hail from the Republican professional and political classes, and they fueled the rampage with their organizational skills and reputations just much as the face-paint guy did with his horns, fur, a U.S. flag mounted on a spear, and tattoos. Some of the criminal interlopers will argue that they only invaded the Capitol to exercise their First Amendment rights to petition the government for a redress of grievances. But that doesn't fly. Nowhere does the First Amendment empower citizens to bull their way through a line of police - causing murderous injury to one - shatter windows and break doors, make violent threats and disrupt Congress. Nor does anybody have a right to stride into the Capitol behind the mob as long as they don't break anything. The masses who coursed through the Capitol grand rooms and hallways clearly broke the law, and their overwhelming numbers abetted the rioters who spearheaded the attack<<

Plenty of well educated, affluent and committed idiots. We have some fine examples right here on our little forum.

We had the Russians behind us too. Putin was there. He personally gave me this month's check. Got an autograph too.

Putin was certainly there is spirit. He's clearly one of the many beneficiaries of the wholesale destabilization of the country.

The breach started 25 minutes Before Trump's speech ended!

Tpap. You were referenced and then you chimed in. Not the stereotypical trump supporter but very much the Trump supporter, despite your legal training in identifying proof from the evidence, lack of evidence or a conflict in the evidence. Watching you pull the wool of the trump flag over your eyes and then proudly proclaiming you see no evidence has grown old and tiresome. Predictable. But it still warrants that a good education cannot prevent a conscious avoidance of facts. That's the point here.

"We are in the main dome right now," said a female militia member.
"God bless and godspeed. Keep going," said a male voice from a quiet environment.
"Everything we fucking trained for."

....The word trained. There's more to know.

There's video of a bunch of them in some conference room looking at floor plans; definitely on a mission.

Plus Gomert and Bobert and probably a few other Omerberts helped lead the recon on 1/5.

Nothing a little "enhanced interrogation" can't get out of a terrorist.

Oh? Then Trump obviously did not incite them with his speech. Guess we can put that BS claim to rest now.

Every bit as wrong as ever porky. He been calling for and inciting violence since the commies rigged the last election.
He told this cretinous group of fascist terrorists where to be, when to be, and what to do.
And a lot of them are going to prison, losing their jobs, and much more fun to come
what will he cry all the way home to his shithole blue state of jojahstan again?

Trump told them to come, date and time and place. Then told them to their republic was lost and that they had to be strong. He told them to go to the chambers and they went. But trump steered clear of the crowd like the pussy he is. He watched on television. And when some crazy MAGA woman dared the cops to shoot her after she kept trying to get in, she took a bullet to the head and died. Trump then went live and demanded they stop and go home. Kidding! He watched at watch party with his toadies and family. 8 hours later, he gave a justification for the insurrection with a flaccid reminder to go home and that violence was bad.
