And this explains why Grassley thought he would be presiding on that day.

That Grassley thought he would be presiding is a two option thing. 1) Pence didn’t want to hurt Trump, his “friend.” (No, literally, that’s what Pence was thinking. It’s in the article.) 2) the USSS was going to do away with Pence, either temporarily or permanently. Pence’s spider senses were tingling and that’s why he refused to get into the car with USSS agents who were not his regular agents.

So much violence was on the table that day.

And seriously, people, stop posting twitter links. Most of us can’t read them, can’t read anything if they’re linked, and can’t get to the links to the articles directly. https://abcnews.go.com/US/pence-told-jan-6-special-counsel-harrowing-details/story?id=105183391

Pence comes off like a total goober who was almost willing to go along with the whole coup. Almost. I mean Dan Quayle had to talk sense into him (which is not in the article) but Pence was still willing to believe Trump’s lies as late as late December. Pence did the right thing, but just barely.

they were just going to not leave.

And this explains why Grassley thought he would be presiding on that day.

For all the people weren’t arrested, I’ve wondered if there were even more weapons. But a crowbar and chemical spray is pretty bad.

Can you imagine? I'm just going to a political speech on the National Mall. Maybe I should bring a crow bar?

I’m sure he’s terrified. Can you imagine being a deaf person in prison? Make smart choices. Don’t break the law. Your orange god won’t save you.

Didn’t complete my thought: when they were finally able to clear the building, they didn’t arrest all the traitors, just waved them out. How many weapons were secreted upon those people.

Trump could have pardoned them all before leaving office of course he did not.

MAGA and republicans are idiots.

Lots of these people clearly have mental health issues and special needs. And they are still addicted to Trump.

This documentary is a devastating unveiling of the useful idiots who were duped by the MAGA cult, and a few of their unfortunate relatives.

Yup, special assistant in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs with a top secret clearance. After working for the Trump campaign and the Family Research Council.

Now do Trump.

exactly. Those MAGA and Trump only care about law and order if it's applied the way they want it to be applied, namely to minorities, and they will threaten and harass people who work in the law and judicial system if they come after them.

If a black man did the same thing, Trump and MAGA would be all over it, claiming the black man should be jailed for the harassment.

Apple doesn't fall from the tree, in this case, Trump being the tree and the MAGAts people the apple.
