Who led them to believe that the Capital doors would be open? It wasn’t President Trump.
Can you provide a link video of the police motioning people to enter the building?
Decades might be a bit much. But if a black man had been sitting at Newt Gingrich's desk after storming the capitol supporting Al Gore's demand the electors not be counted, many would likely see it differently.
And before you crucify me, I am one of the documented Freepers who protested OUTSIDE the Tallahassee captitol in support of Bush.
“Lives are being systematically destroyed to the obvious pleasure and gratification of taxpayer-paid lawyers and judges, who are the only ones smiling. Unfortunately for many innocent Americans, this theater of the absurd appears for now to be on an unlimited run.”
That sums it up.
Which now guarantees ….
Mum’s the word
Gary Powers had more impartial judges. 😠
Two words: Merrick Garland
remember, you don’t cheat an election unless you also control the courts.
this ensures any cases brought against you are dismissed out of hand.
DC jurors seem to be among America’s most evil and partisan.
FTFY
The courts in DC are a conviction machine. Everything is built for an incredible prosecution success record.
Not a word from Jim Jordan.
The real insurrection happened in the wee hours of November 4th, 2020.
The Proud Boys were started as a Western chauvinist drinking club. I’m wondering what you expect for “serious” there. That’s one heck of an attempted slam.
You sound vaccinated. And boosted.
There are videos of Capitol Police basically inviting people in through open unlocked doors, doing nothing to stop it. Do you really think in the wake of 9/11 they couldn’t have shut and locked the doors, proof against opening without serious tools?
This was totally a setup.
McCarthy needs to release the videos.
This is more ominous than I thought.
Which Pokémon was involved? Blastoise? Exeggutor? Jiggly Puff?
I never expected Atlas Shrugged and 1984 to become operations manuals for our Left, either, but here we are!
Okay, that’s fair.
This J6 Clown Show is the nastiest joke ever played on the American people by the U.S. Government. Those bass turds in DC have to be laughing their asses off all day long.
Agreed on them not being serious.
Not either. And your comment is the sort of intellectual laziness that makes these threads so unproductive. So please stop being lazy and practice some discernment.

There's no "basically" about it. Either they let them in or they did not. And in the grand scheme of things, it's not relevant for several of the statutes that many people are people charged with - they require no showing of intent. That's one reason why multiple peole, including some on FR, advised against going to DC on 01/06. Because it was a TRAP.

This was totally a setup.
Yep. All the more reason to stay away on THAT DAY.
McCarthy needs to release the videos.
Agreed. But intent does not have to be proven in many of the charges that people are facing.
Walking into The People’s House through an unlocked door in full view of Capitol Police doing nothing to shoo them away should not be a prosecutable crime, and anyone engaged in that should themselves be charged with deprivation of civil rights under color of law.
Well, change the law. If that does not work, then defense attorneys can argue that the law itself is unconstitutional, or is being applied in an arbitrary or capricious manner.
The "People's House" as well as the Capital Police was controlled by the then Speaker who had previously made clear her disdain for all things President Trump and MAGA. So people were playing with fire.
