Wednesday, June 22, 2022

With the House select committee examining the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Americans, 64-30 percent, say that the attack was planned rather than spontaneous, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of adults released today. Democrats say 84-13 percent and independents say 61-30 percent that the attack was planned. Republicans are divided, with 49 percent saying it was planned and 46 percent saying it was spontaneous.

It was planned for months.
It was planned as a Plan B before Trump even had a chance to lose.

Who are the other 36%?
Who doesn't know that?

The other 36% know it was, but like to pretend to believe it was spontaneous because they are traitors.

Yet how many of them will vote for Trump again because they're dumb enough to believe he'd be able to change gas prices, inflation or any of the litany of supply chain/economic issues we're working through...

Well, since they had shirts made in advance to promote it, I'd say there is some basis to say it was planned.

This is good, the committee is starting to pay dividends.

More than half think Trump committed a crime.

Now this.

People are starting to recognize what happened just didn't happen....it was planned and organized on many levels.

Hillary testified under oath in front of a hostile Been-gassy Committee 11 hours and never once took "The 5th".

Any Trumphumpers wanna tell the class why Trump wont do the same.

It was totally planned by the FBI and their embedded instigators and informants.

The thing dems forget is that proving Trump is an evil criminal doesn't hurt him if his supporters are evil as well. As long as his evil supporters believe that Trump will hurt the people that need hurting, they laud his evil deeds.

His evil supporters still need some other Republicans and some swing voters to win.

Those he's currently not winning.

GQP members gave recon tours to insurrectionists on 1/5.

They had shirts with "Civil War 1/6/21" printed on them.

They had a stockpile of weapons just outside DC city limits.

They came wearing body armor and riot helmets and carrying restraints.

They had weapons.

They passed by the armored windows and went straight for the ones that weren't armored.

Of course it was planned.

It was totally planned by the FBI and their embedded instigators and informants.

All that's correct.

but then you have the context of this brigade of ass clowns being led by a blind man that shot his own eye out, were infiltrated by the Feds the entire time, and had a plan that relied on driving in the weapons and reinforcements on a ... golf cart.

I'm not sure what it looks like when a Javelin hits a golf cart, but it's not exactly an armored vehicle.

There is a large percentage of that group that just listen to the constant stream of lies from Mango Mussolini and will take his word that what he is saying is the truth without looking at any other sources than him and Faux Noise.

Watching Faux Noise actually makes people dumber.

Their incompetence doesn't mitigate their intent.

It doesn't, but when the movie gets made, if it's not a black comedy, it's totally missing the mark.

#8 She's savvy enough to know there's no need to take the 5th when all you need to do is pretend not to recall everything.
