Now the Washington Post Admits Trump Did Not Incite the Capitol Riot

With the second bogus impeachment in the books, the Washington Post has finally seen fit to admit that President Trump did not incite the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 with his speech, acknowledging that it was, in fact, planned in advance.

The article, published Tuesday, the day before Biden’s inauguration, declares in its headline “Self-styled militia members planned on storming the U.S. Capitol days in advance of Jan. 6 attack, court documents say” and opens with the following paragraphs.

Nice take and that is similar to what I predict.

There is a difference between your take and mine; I do believe that they are going to go after those that they can ID as “domestic terrorists”, which no one will really object to...

Unless and until how that term is being defined becomes known.

But yeah, POTUS kamalalaladingdong has been the operational objective and with no doubt Sleepy Joe shuffling off to where ever later this year, POTUS Harris through 2033 (at which point I’m sure POTUS for life will be legal) and there you go.

My local fish wrap in Dallas gives me a Sunday paper unsolicited once or twice a month to try and get me to sign up...

It comes in handy during the winter when I need to get a fire going.

The fake impeachment seems to be gone, at least for the moment. Now Biden made threats to use agencies and new laws against some vaguely defined "domestic terrorists."

It was obvious that President Trump’s speech did not encourage anyone to attack anyone. Any dolt can read it and find zero lines suggesting anything like attacking Congress. (Not that they shouldn’t be out on their ear for being lying puppets of the oligarchy.)

Lynn Cheney and her group of cowardly republicans knew this. She’s not stupid.

So, what was her game? Why go public in a purely Republican district with an obvious lie? What did she hope to gain?

The only thing that makes sense to me is that these people are not conservative in the least. They must be progressives, and they were taking one for that team.

Before the sham impeachment vote, I emailed my (D) congress critter and implored him to be an independent voice of calm and reason like President Trump was when he called for peace. Of course it fell on deaf ears and I received a boiler plate party line response from him which included all the half truths and outright lies of the democrat leadership.

So today I sent a follow up email that pointed out the conclusions of the Washington Post and CNN that the so-called riots were planned well in advance and he knee-jerk "virtual riot" of impeachment was ill advised. I told him I had hoped for an independent voice from my congress critter and it is apparent he is NOT, so I will work against his re-election. I also told him that it was interesting how "shook up" they were when something like this happens at their place of work but they couldn't care less when it happened to both black and white business owners this last summer.

Several times in between paragraphs of blasting him I put a single line that said "Shame on you Derek". I also told him to take me off his mailing lists and if I send him anything, I do not wish to receive the party line back as I can get that from CNN and MSNBC if I so choose....ha ha ha.

Anyway, probably an exercise in futility but I feel a whole lot better... probably with a target on my back now... ha ha ha.

It’s a tactical call - they want to keep Trump out of the news. The lies worked, now the coverup.

Unrequested sample issues....

Official circulation figures are used to attract and set charges for advertisers. A few thousand free copies count as circulation. I wonder how many people really pay for the print papers? Esquire and others charge a loss amount to get a lot of subscribers so they can boast about the numbers.

It seems to be really hard to get people to pay for the online ones. They threaten if you happen by chance onto a link “Four more free articles. See our sale on three month subscription.” Before I swore off Drudge (this dates my info.) I hated getting a NYT,LA Times or WaPo article after an innocent looking clickbait link.

My theory is like music which was free, then stolen by young people, then the legal price of $0.99 ,then $1.29 seemed like a lot. I still refuse their streaming subscriptions.
The print journals of newspapers used to have the articles all over the internet-—for free (1996-1999 or so). Then they realized they were laying off hundreds of staff and losing money, so they clamped down. For online issue subscriptions pay $69.99 for Newsweek, $89.50 for Time, $49 for Rolling Stone-—and more.

But what used to be free and now is charged money to get seems expensive. Music or reading matter.

Thanks for the photos of anti-Biden Commies....

Let’s hope we can encourage the sides to split strongly and fiercely. Maybe plant stories such as “Biden said to a source those Antifa and BLM thugs are really weakling eunuchs and he won’t put up with their crap much longer.” “Antifa said to an insider that Biden supporters are fair game for anti-imperialist violent action as it sees fit.”

Get each to comment on the other.

The Bezos Post has zero credibility. Only leftists clamor for their lies.

There are so many people in this nation that owe Trump an apology.

Communists NEVER apologize, but I agree.

"There are so many people in this nation that owe Trump an apology."

An apology, yes and also a huge thank you for giving everything you had for our USA!. I have no words that would adequately express my disdain for the leftist media, the behind the scenes people that did everything they could to do to eliminate even one of your many successes (wins). It took less than 24 hours for Obiden to F up everything you accomplished. You will be missed DJT and we are still behind you every inch of the way.

TRUMP 2024

Interesting evidence to bring to his impeachment trial.

The Democrat donors funnel money to them to maintain them as the leftist radical “fringe” so that the equally radical Democrats can appear, superficially, to be moderate. As in, “We’re not communists. Those guys and gals in black carrying Antifa flags are the communist. See? They hate us for being too moderate.” In reality, the real communist threat is from these “moderates,” not the useful young idiots wearing black and carrying skateboards.

Mitch the bitch is going to have to get GOP members do go along with his little plan to get rid of Donald and if the blowback LiZ Cheney and he have gotten is any indication that’s a pretty tall order
