The chain of invented crisis-es goes unabated.  4-5 years of insurrection and more trying to overthrow President Trump, ignored, but now accusing the President Trump on the flimsiest of evidence.  An outrageous election fraud and stolen election with evidence in our face in real time, denied.   Now the clowns try to blame the former President of what democrats did.  An invented insurrection facade, Jan 6th, complete with leftist fanatics pretending to be Conservatives-Trumpers to try and further accuse the former President.  Democrats and Romney pretending to care about the Constitution, while not long ago working with Obama to try and destroy and replace the Constitution.  Romney is the democrats Monica on a leash, as are their blind fanatical lock-steppers marching that march.

How did mass hysteria become mass hypnosis ?  Are we witnessing a miracle in our own day, or just corrupt lockstepping politically empowered.  By the way, where is the mans continued answers, unanswered to the repetitive question asked, victoria ?

"...he would have demanded riots on Inauguration Day..."

No, that would be too late.  He was trying to stop the count so a new president could not be voted in. 

"You and Romney..."
 
Romney means nothing to me personally, I am responding to this post about him, what he said.  I do think this was an insurrection started by Trump - an attack on our government while carrying out their duty to install a new president.
That is absolutely hilarious saying that Trump was trying to stop the count as we have all seen who stopped the count on election night to secure an election victory for Biden.

Hint since you have been distorting this dialogue:  It was not Trump.

“I was there,” Romney said. “What happened was a violent effort to interfere with and prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president.”

"...prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president.”
             
That is what happened - Trump sent them there to stop the count of installing the new president.  Plus, Trump during that rally blamed Vice President Pence for not stopping the count, so the mob wanted to find and hang Pence.

Trump is good at one thing: mass hypnosis - just like Captain Ahab (Moby Dick) used mass hypnosis on his ship's crew to keep going after white whale Moby Dick until all but one crew member died.
Trump was still speaking when the Capitol riot occurred.  It was raided 20 minutes before his speech was done.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

What Really Happened at the Capitol: Questions that Need Answers
May 12, 2021
Quote
On January 5th, a slew of vocal conservatives, including myself, spoke to a sea of Patriots in Washington DC. We were optimistic that our massive presence there would lead to a national audit of the 2020 election, and that answers about all the election irregularities would lead to uncovering the complex and epic fraud to the rest of the masses.

 By the time I had arrived to the Capitol on January 6th, (in case you didn’t know, the Capitol was breached way before anyone listening to Trump speak could have possibly walked there in time) dozens of people were telling me that the police were just letting people in, if I wanted inside.

 I sensed a trap and knew the Left would like nothing more than to crucify me for something like that, and luckily I never did step foot inside. Everyone’s cell phone and data service was cut off for over a 1-2 mile radius, and there was no way to communicate with each other other than in person.

By the end of it all, I ended up getting tear gassed for no discernible reason, while I stood on the grounds peacefully chanting and singing songs next to veterans, older people, people with dogs, and other regular non-threatening folks. ...

To better help you understand, let me lay out a timeline in the order it happened:

• Before the election occurred, radical leftist groups were already actively planning to shut down DC and attack the White House in the case of a Trump win. That’s not a conspiracy theory either. The leaders of several radical leftist groups, media personnel, and federal employees were caught on video as they planned the entire “coup” as they called it, during various Zoom meetings. You can watch the whole traitorous act here: https://www.millennialmillie.com/post/election-2020-coup-plot-exposed

Remember Hillary telling Biden “not to concede under any circumstances” even if there’s a loss? I guess now we know why…

• As footage and eye witness testimony came flooding in after the fact, it turns out people in all-black were seen buying MAGA gear. There’s even a video of 3 of them changing in the bushes earlier that day.  ...

As I've noted before, a friend of ours was there, and he saw the organized groups of bused-in leftists marching in quickstep to the Capitol. It is utter idiocy to blame Trump for this. But, of course, we all know Mittens is an idiot.

Mass hypnosis? Good grief.  *****rollingeyes*****

I used hypnosis with patients who would benefit from it.  Mass hypnosis is also possible.  See link below.

Story:
My husband had cancer and was in hospital for chemo through a vein.  Nurse said he would get sick and throw up, so come get one of them to give him a med when he started throwing up.  I hypnotized him, he was in a sleep state, and he stayed that way through the whole thing - did not get sick.

A nurse did come in to check on him when he should be throwing up.  She could not believe he was calm as if nothing was happening.  I told her I hypnotized him.  She asked if the doctor knew I was going to do that.  I told her yes, I had told him I would do that.  She left and did not come back.  Later, the doc told me the nurses would not come in there again as they thought they might get hypnotized, too.  Here is a link about mass hypnosis:

Good grief.  I can't believe that people are still so blinded that they think Trump and his supporters were trying to overturn an election.  It was about states NOT adhering to election laws and the Constitution!!!! Hello.

There have been videos recorded of anti-Trumpers (dressing up as Trump supporters) in the capitol building preparing to create mayhem.  That video has been verified several times.  There have been arrests of multiple people connected to anti-Trump groups involved in the insurrection.   Somehow this information continues to be forgotten and dismissed....or poof ... it disappears.

Doesn't anyone see the coincidence (?) of Mitten's niece as head of the RNC and the blatant failure of them ensuring a fair election?  Now, Mittens continues to try to add fuel to a fire that the leftists/globalists and anti-Trumpers created!!

Gee ... does anyone think that he has eyes on 2024. His niece is still head of the RNC!

You're right in one sense. It was not an insurrection. It was basically a bunch of gormless dopes milling around (egged on by their loser president who couldn't admit he lost) thinking something magic would happen when they got to the CB.
Nothing magic happened. But one hundred capitol police were injured in some way because some of the morons were violent. That is not nothing.
Bottom line: the rioters shouldn't have been there in the first place. A few days after the election Trump should have admitted he lost and promised to do better next time.
We know that didn't happen. And now Trump is damaged goods and can't win in 2024.
But he can still degrade the party which he is currently doing by continuing to lie about his loss.

You are correct; the rioters shouldn't have been there in the first place.  Evidence ALSO points to several (including Pelosi) knowing beforehand that the insurrection was going to take place.

Keep in mind that this wasn't about overturning an election. Do you honestly think Cruz would stick his neck out? This was about election integrity and the Constitution.  VIDEO  - https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/ted-cruzs-full-electoral-vote-speech/2021/01/06/fb43b312-3558-43cf-a769-25f0e7b2bd69_video.html

I've never been a huge Trump supporter but I sure became one after I saw the blatant disregard by the leftists and our own SCOTUS for our rule of law!!

The average German before WWI would never have dreamed of rioting against the Jews.

The average German of the 1930's may have been uncomfortable with the idea, but wasn't necessarily opposed to it, either.

Glenn Beck wrote a (ghost writer?) book called the Overton Window, which apparently is a Public Relations tool measuring how public opinions can be shifted to the desired directio over time.

At one time Americans didn't want to wear seat belts.   Now they're perfectly comfortable with laws mandating their use.

At one time Americans were opposed to socialism.

Actually, Americans are still opposed to socialism, but many more people in the US are traitors.

The overton window slides.

You still support Trump when
(1) he's lied about losing for the last six months.
(2) he tried to get his veep to suborn the constitution
(3) he tried to get a Georgia state official to "find" i.e. cheat votes for him.
and (4) he instigated a riot where five people died many of them believing Trump would be there to back them when they went to the CB to do God knows what.
Why? Get behind a Pubbie pol is who not damaged goods. If Trump couldn't beat a moldy sack of potatoes like Joe Biden last November, he certainly can't win in 2024.

Where is the proof that he lied??
Pence should have done his job.
Where is the proof that he instigated a riot? 

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion. Some have been seeing the writing on the wall, long before Trump even ran for President; others still just don't see it. 

Out of curiosity, which GOP politician do you think we should get behind who isn't damaged goods and secondly, without ballot and election integrity, combined with the very likely possibility that amnesty will be granted before 2022, AND the  likelihood that voting laws and the electoral process will be changed, how do you expect them to win??

Did I also mention the probability that the SCOTUS will be strongly stacked liberal?

I can't think of anyone willing to endure the continued Dem mud slinging that Trump went through and I don't think Trump will run again because of his age. He likes the limelight but doesn't need the headache.

We should also allow the possibility he actually cares about the country. How he ends up acting on that impulse is anyone's guess.
