    Officer Sicknick will lie in state in the Capital Rotunda all next week.

    The following week the Instigator-in-Chief will be tried.....

    A deserved honor. 

    Now about that justice part...

    It's comically appropriate that his legal team is all quitting because he is insisting that the focus of the defense strategy is election fraud.  It looks like we might have Rudy running point on defense after all!

    If that’s the case, he  should be forced to testify under oath, and be subject to the same laws his lawyers were in court. Anything he claims that has been already proven false he gets indicted for perjury on the spot.

    Yup. And I think that losing your life to save or protect another’s is pretty fucking heroic. 

    Absolutely.

    i heard on the radio this morning that many of the people arrested in the storming of the capitol are blaming trump. they are going to use the "trump invited us to DC" defense. manbearpig even volunteered to testify against him.

    let's see how it works out for them....

    I'm not personally arguing that it isn't. 
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall




  • Question.

    How many people did it look like stormed the Capital?

    I am now hearing a few thousand perhaps.  

    How many actually got in?  200?

    Just curious if numbers were thrown around.

    If that’s the case, could it be said that it was “mostly peaceful”?  /s

    the rally and the capital riot were two different events. 

    the rally looked peaceful. the riot was not. see, they were separate events.

    There were 50,000 people there or more at that rally.  Not all of them stormed the capital and not everyone got in is why I asked if there were numbers attached.

    so, 3 separate events.

    I agree, two separate events.  Two different levels of extremists.

  • So I found around 30-50,00 attended the rally.
    10,000 or so stormed the Capitol.
    Haven't found a solid number of how many got in so I'll stick to the initial 200 or so.

    10,000. wow. that's a pretty high percentage of the rally.

    Article I read said it is hard to estimate how many people were there but around 10k.  Looking at the pics you can see there was a decent amount of people which is just crazy to me to look at the numbers now.

    They built a gallows.

    I've heard a few thousand gathered around the capitol while only a few hundred stormed inside. My guess is that reports that large are including those protesting outside with those storming the capitol.

  • "Storming the Capitol" includes everyone who crossed the police lines and the fenced area. It was being readied for the inauguration and thus was "closed to the public." If you were there, on the other side of the line, you "stormed the capitol" and should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The minimization begins. Well, it was only a hundred people arrested..............I heard it was fifty.................More like twenty five charged........................Ten went to court and had a jury trial.....................Only one was convicted..................And a misdemeanor at that. How can they call it an insurrection or attempted coup?
