Doc Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 3 hours ago, Scraps said: Meh. According to the Minnesota National Guard, he filed his paperwork to retire 3-5 months before being told they might be deployed and retired 2 months before they were told they would be deployed. He'd also been activated at least once during his 24 years of service. If he held a skill that the Army thought was critical, they could have stop-lossed him as they did with many other people. I see no reason for him to reup for another 4 years in this situation. He served far longer than most and 20 years longer than James Donald Bowman. Whether he quit because he knew he was going to be deployed is secondary to claiming he actually was deployed. But hey, who cares if the first part is a lie? The reaction to it is hilarious! 3 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: What was the goal? I have no idea. They clearly had no plan once they entered the Capitol and ended up leaving after a few hours without the government even close to being overthrown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS trump made the goal clear that shameful day: Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.

He told them to"peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." Nowhere did he even hint about breaking into the Capitol. And again, once they entered the Capitol...they had no plan and while there was a delay in certifying the election, it still proceeded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the "demanding" part? So? Again nowhere did he say "break into the Capitol" and when they ignored that and broke in didn't demand anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked you "what was the goal"? trump told us. whether he said "break into the capitol" or not doesn't matter in answering this question. His stated goal "only count the electors who were lawfully slated (who are those meant to be? -really, I want you to tell me) was what Jan 6 was all about.

The goal was obviously for him to remain President. By having people "peacefully and patriotically mak[ing their] voices heard." It wasn't much of a plan and evidence by the fact that he didn't even bother going to the Capitol himself. Some idiots got the brilliant idea to break into the Capitol and people followed but once inside they were mostly peaceful and the election results were eventually certified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Melania says hi https://www.the-express.com/news/politics/146458/donald-trump-mocks-supporters-basement-dwellers-stephanie-grisham “Trump] has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth. He used to tell me, 'It doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough, and people will believe you.' But it does matter, what you [say] matters and what you don't say matters. On January 6, I asked Melania if we could at least Tweet that, while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there's no place for lawlessness or violence, she replied with one word, 'No.'" Edited August 21 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice he changed the argument from “ What was the goal of Jan 6?” To “ valid excuse for the rioters”.

It was dereliction of duty for him not to tell the violent protesters to stop violently attacking ou=r national legislature, right? If a cop saw a person being attacked, its his job to stop it. Trump laughed and watched it. Doc, that is criminal negligence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
