Would it make you happy if it were successful next time? it would make me happy if you could admit there was no insurrection plan. Even the slowest and dullest among these folks would upon review of the "plan" have concluded it had zero chance of success. So why do it? Go back and don't come back until you bring me something that might work. The idea that some sort of elaborate conspiracy and grand planning effort proceeded the events of the day is frankly, ridiculous and I won't believe it unless you've got access to the power point deck and the execution plan for 1/6 that you can upload to PPP. 1

Kemp Posted July 20, 2023 Author Posted July 20, 2023 21 minutes ago, All_Pro_Bills said: A well scripted failure. Human history's best example of the worst insurrection plan and execution ever. The basic objective of the plan appeared to be "let's occupy a single building and then declare ourselves in control of the country". But overlooked were some details like no weapons, a group comprised of mostly out of shape old people, and most critical no support from any public institutions like some elements of the military that could use "force" to make it all happen. The worst insurrection ever. Maybe that's why nobody wants to take "credit" for the planning? It was embarrassingly awful. Would you expect Trump to construct anything competent?

But a reminder: it almost worked. It caused Congress to adjourn the ceremonial act of counting the electoral votes. It amped up the severe pressure Trump was putting on Pence. It almost caused Pence to flee the building on Secret Service advice. It came far, far too close for comfort. it almost worked 😂 thank you for the free satire… 1 2

Have a few dozen crazies engage in physical confrontation with Capitol Police while the majority of the protesters mill about inside the building taking tours and selfies? Then when the government marshals a force big enough to engage the protest and they enter the Capitol to perform a sweep and clear mission what was the plan?

You do realize Jan 6 was the pretty much the last resort for Trump and his goons, right? The mirage of lawsuits = failed John Eastman = failed What was left? Trump admitted 6 months prior to the election that if he lost, it was because it was stolen. 1

Frank has explained the plan clearly and repeatedly. You just ignore it. But you are correct in that a civil war would be incredibly bloody and destructive. Yet some here actually seem to want one.

When all legal attempts failed he arranged for meetings at the Willard Hotel in D.C. to come up with a plan to overturn the election with the usual suspects: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/willard-trump-eastman-giuliani-bannon/2021/10/23/c45bd2d4-3281-11ec-9241-aad8e48f01ff_story.html Then he tried to get Pence to overturn the election. I thought this was all common knowledge.

Force the ceremonial "counting of the electoral votes" to adjourn out of safety concerns. Keep the pressure on Mike Pence to refuse to certify critical electoral votes. Send the competing (real vs. fake electors) slates back to those states where Republican legislatures/governors could certify the fake slates. Remain in office as the "duly reelected President of the United States." It's not like it's a secret: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastman_memos Trump wasn't ever expecting the "low class" mob to somehow overthrow the Congress. It was a tactic. A delay and pressure tactic. And again: it almost worked. Only Mike Pence (who did take the advice of his legal counsel that he lacked authority to do what Trump told him to do; note that the implication here may be that IF he'd been told he had that authority he probably would have been willing to use it, despite the lack of evidence of voter fraud, so he's no golden boy himself) stood in the way. And the mob was clear on what it wanted to do with Pence if he didn't capitulate .. "Hang Mike Pence." 1 1 1
