Mhaze,

They DID take the Capitol buildings. They WERE armed. Trump squibbed it, and didn't show, after urging them to 'fight like hell', so they folded their tents and went home. They're only a bunch of violent low-intelligence kids, after all.

Followers of a violent, low-intelligence rich kid who, for once, didn't get his way.

Hitler's attempt at a coup in 1923, the beerhall putsch, was a comic opera affair. Ten years later he was fuhrer of Germany.

More from the 'no evidence the election was stolen' file.

A county in New Hampshire had to do a recount based on a request from a Democrat who lost by just 24 votes. The original count was done by running the ballots through the Dominion Voting machines - the ones at the centre of electoral fraud claims.

After the new hand count was done, it was found that EVERY republican candidate in the county had had his/her vote under-counted by approximately 3%. The Dominion machines had under-counted every single republican vote.

It was a small county and inconsequential in the scheme of things. But it seems that every time the votes have been checked where Dominion machines were involved, its found the republicans were dudded.

And that's just from hand counts. Imagine if the ballots were properly audited. They haven't been and, if the Demcrats and never-Trumpers have their way, they never will be properly audited. I'll leave you to ponder why.

VIDEO PROOF TRUMP INCITED THE MOB, 6 JANUARY

Here is the full video of the Capitol riot played by prosecutors, 2 days ago, at Trump's impeachment trial http://youtu.be/cypjAI8uLso?t=1s

2 days ago Democrats opened Trump's second impeachment trial by showing the graphic video (above) of the attack on the Capitol Building/Congress. This came soon after Trump, then-president told his supporters to "fight like hell"

against his election defeat.

The 13-minute video starts with (necessarily parts of Trump's 10,000 word, 1 hour) speech to fans near the White House on January 6 during which he told them,

"we are going to walk down — and I'll be there with you — we're going to walk down to the Capitol".

It then shows clips of Capitol police being overrun by the mob, members of Congress being rushed away, a police officer screaming as he was attacked, and the death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was shot when she tried to climb through a broken door.

She was one of five people who died during the riot, while hundreds more were injured.

Trump was also shown in a clip from later in the day, when he told the insurrectionists to "go home, we love you".

The video ends with a screenshot of a message Trump posted on his now-deleted Twitter account on the afternoon of January 6.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously [and] viciously stripped away from great patriots ... go home with love [and] peace," he wrote.

After the video finished, Congressman Jamie Ruskin, who is serving as the House of Representative's impeachment manager, pointed to the screen.

"That's a high crime and misdemeanour," he said.

"IF THAT'S NOT AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENCE, THEN THERE'S NO SUCH THING."

Dear Graham,

.

Like your previous article, this one is also a deeply passionate plea in favour of Donald Trump (alias Captain Ahab).

I don’t think any fair-minded person would deny that by putting the boot into a certain number of anthills Donald the dictator produced some positive results. But the fact is, having observed him as president for four years, the Americans electors decided they did not want to grant him the second term he clearly felt was his due.

As you rightly indicated: “he can often appear chaotic”. That particular character trait undoubtedly played a major role in his downfall. It explains his inability to properly organise and manage the nationwide coronavirus battle. It also explains the botched “coup” on Capitol Hill.

Trump is Trump. He is a real-estate man, a wheeler-dealer. He excels in negotiating. He is a great dealmaker, an “impact player” as we say in rugby (a player whose participation is brief but massive), a “blitzkrieg” (“lightning war” in German), a “coup de poing” (“punch” in French).

His organisational and management abilities are mediocre to say the least. His employee relations are disastrous. He hires and fires with alacrity, retaining only the “yes” men – as long as they do their job to his satisfaction.

In addition, Trump has proven to be politically divisive, lacking in tolerance, never attempting to accommodate those Americans he considers to be political opponents. Personality-wise, he is also markedly cleaving, openly treating women in a degrading fashion, grudgingly defending and rarely promoting people of colour. Apart from those of his supporters who would never admit it, he is also widely renowned around the world as a pathological liar and a narcissistic megalomaniac.

As a 74-year-old aspiring to re-election in four years’ time, there is little hope of any improvement that might possibly make him more qualified for the job when he reaches the age of “Sleepy old Joe” today.

As they say : “it’s difficult to teach old dogs new tricks”.

Alas, Donald Trump (alias Captain Ahab) seems determined to continue his eternal vendetta :

I saw that video that Plantagenet linked, but did you notice the pause
where he says we are going down to the capital a short break.
In the one I saw he said "peaceably" at that point.

I do not think you can believe anything now.
The evidence of the "steal" disappeared immediately the site computers were turned off. It would be interesting to look at the log files, if
they have not been deleted.
