McConnell: Trump 'provoked' crowd that stormed Capitol

[roamer_1]

McConnell can say what he rally thinks now..just been re-elected for 6 more years.

... And likely retiring after that. I doubt very much he will seek reelection. So he is bulletproof.

[roamer_1]

Yet another liar/pretender that is now dead to me.

I been saying that all along.

We will not have any change - ALL of this will keep moving forward.
Because Republicans are not opposing it.
They feign at it for the cameras.
They harrumph and shake their fists at election time.
But they do nothing to impede it.

Throw the bastards out. All of them.

Nice, impressive sound byte.....but how, logically and logistically do you do that?   And how do we know that the ones (like da Bitch) haven't been taking full advantage of voter/election fraud all along?

A resounding message should be sent to the GOPe, there should be a day cjhosen when the vast majority of those registered republican change their party affiliation to nonpartisan, libertarian or undecided, anything but republican. I already write a 'note' on their donation/fundraising request and tuck it inside so that they pay to see my opinion. Let the lack of those registered republican and lack of funds be a boot up the A$$ reminder of how bad they F'd up. The poor decisions of the GOPe and it's lack of representation of the rank and file have earned it a long future as the minority party, which from what I have observed since the end of the Reagan Presidency, is exactly where they want to be.

IMHO forming a second party will be futile; those sitting in the WH will rearranged the voting machines to reflect the outcome that they want.

Creating a new government to replace the DC swamp creatures is the only way.

I think Trump will leave well enough alone once he leaves office; besides they will keep him busy with lawsuits.

Rand Paul commented that 1/3 of the Senate will walk if Trump is impeached .... 1/3 is just the beginning...their leadership in combination with 75+ million people.  Sounds about right.

I bet if they leave some conservatives from the House will follow.

"We the People" ... FREEDOM IS Ours!!!

The fed. govt. probably can't be reformed. The leadership of the Pub party is hopelessly corrupt. Our elections are hopelessly corrupt. Our courts don't have the courage to even hear cases involving corrupt elections. We are about to have 35 million new citizens who really don't believe in American exceptionalism and will mostly vote for the Rats.

Trump's farewell address was terrific. He made one comment that should scare the establishment when he said this movement will not end.

We need an America First party. It needs to start at the State level and then move to the federal level. The ultimate aim of this party needs to be FREEDOM. The corrupt fed govt doesn't represent us and it's only going to get worse. We need to think about how we can break away from the fed. yoke.

[bilo]

How do these people get the power positions in the Pub party if a majority of the party represents us?

Trump's address was very well done. If he chooses to remain engaged in politics after this I hope it is as a virtual bomb thrower. Blow 'em all up, both sides.

I thought McConnell would be wiser than this.

Particularly after he had assisted Mr. Trump with the appointment of judges, and particularly in getting Amy Barrett onto the Court.

He should have just kept his mouth shut.

I don't think this will do much for his popularity back home, but then I don't expect him to run again next time 'round, either.

True, but I'd settle for Murder Turtle being kicked out of congress for use of public office for private gain.

He and the rest of the entire congress.

I'm beginning to think that way.

Perhaps a "New Continental Congress" comprised of representatives from the traditional-freedom (red) states?

What might come from that...?

The same way you always do. Grassroots uprising in the primaries. It has been done before.

If the ballot box is truly overrun, then there is but one box left. And if that is true, so be it. But that will require real proof before I heed a clarion call.

Other than the 138 Pubs in the House and 6-8 Senators who fought for Trump we owe them nothing.

He is.

McConnell must have been told by China that Trump must be destroyed at all cost.

[christian]

No full term President has ever had all recess appointments blocked like McConnell the democrats bitch did.  Mitch the bitch hated Trump and helped the democrats abundantly.  McConnell has to go.

team sports. woohoo. go team. Fill them seats with the big rhinestone 'R'. winning.

I'm confused.  Is he talking about the crowd that stormed the Capitol, or is he talking about the crowd that was still at the Ellipse listening to the end of Trump's speech when the incident happened?

McConnell is talking about the crowd that stormed the Capitol.  It is disingenuous to defend Trump by pretending that his speech on 6 January at the Ellipse was his only provocation or act of incitement.  His whole "Stop the Steal" shtick, at least once the last actual legal challenge had been turned back by the courts, and his peddling of the baseless, delusional theory that as President of the Senate, Vice-President Pence, could single-handedly reject the vote of the Electoral Collage were the lies and provocations fed to the crowd that stormed the Capitol.

Too bad Pelosi's snap Impeachment did not refer to the "pattern of incitement" that you discussed.  I read the Impeachment Charge, and it specified his speech of 1/6 that was still going on, to the exclusion of the rich vein of dirt you dished.

I cannot WAIT to see what other ways the rats can use this ‘pattern of incitement’ charge to ban and criminalize speech they don’t approve of.

@The_Reader_David

I pretended no such thing.  Besides, it would be disingenuous as well as egregiously dishonest to characterize a speech where Trump specifically called for peaceful assembly as one that provoked incitement.  You seem to offer a different take, however.  So I am intrigued to know about these other provocations or acts of incitement.  Could you be so kind to post for us any of these examples so that we could all examine these allegedly heinous words of President Trump?  Thanks in advance.

[christian]

If democrats can successfully cast the blame on Trump, using justifications of Pences betrayal of Trump,  refusing to do his duty in rejecting voter fraud tainted State elections.  Many of the deep Staters, incl Pence will feel they are covered/protected from the WRATH of voters.  Let the truth of the matter be realized and let the deep staters fall on their swords, as well they aught.  Scourge the ground they stand on.  Let others fear to do what they have done.
