WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is making a triumphant return to Capitol Hill on Thursday, meeting with House and Senate Republicans, his first since urging a mob to “fight like hell” ahead of the Jan.6, 2021 attack. GOP lawmakers find themselves newly energized and reinvigorated by his bid to retake the White House.

Despite the federal charges against Trump for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, and his recent guilty verdict in an unrelated hush money trial, the Republican former president arrived emboldened as the party’s presumptive nominee. He has successfully purged the GOP of critics, silenced most skeptics and enticed once-critical lawmakers aboard his MAGA-fueled campaign.

A packed room of House Republicans sang “Happy Birthday” to Trump in the private breakfast meeting at GOP campaign headquarters across the street from the Capitol.

I don’t trust them. It is a set-up.

If AND WHEN he wins on Nov. 5th he should tell the left: “If you’re gonna riot do it before Jan 20th.”

“After that all bets are off.”

Yes, it feels like a perfect opportunity for the Capitol Police or Feds to arrest him.

There is so much anti Trump ‘stuff’ that has been spread around. Do these people just lie for a living.. Do they not know this man and just blow dumb.. Are they just repeaters and don’t know anything..
I researched Trump.. Before he became such a figure to label. I found him to be a loyal man.. Kind, giving of himself and money.. To help others. I found he is a Donald Trump I respected and able to run my country. I voted for him.
Who is this person the media and others, describe? With all the words they should put on Biden. They hate him.. Because??
I can’t come up with a true reason.
On the other hand, voting for a dementia patient... Not able to do anything.. Tells me they have no respect for this country and their hate is more important than their country.. And decide they won’t bite for a man who is very much able and willing to help us all by saving America.

Interesting. Here is what I proposed to the Copilot AI: I want to know the quotes that AP used to assert that Trump urged violence from the mob in Washinton DC. Here is how Copilot responded: “It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let’s start over.” It said that it uses AP as a fact checker, so it couldn’t comment. These bastardos are consistent and thorough, aren’t they?

The interesting thing is they re-wrote this story from when I read it and began to post it. Look at the timestamp if you dont believe me.

The original version didn’t include the “fight like hell” quote or other stuff I think it had a welcoming quote from the Speaker but otherwise they changed / updated it with the heavy slant

“Trump is returning to Capitol Hill to meet with Republican lawmakers, a first since Jan. 6”

++++++++

How can Trump make a first return to Capitol Hill since Jan 6™ when he didn’t even go there on Jan 6™?

we all know that when leftist fascist Democrats do this, it’s a good thing, but when conservatives do it, it’s a REALLY BAD thing ...

They are like the Vichy French, they say one thing in public and do the opposite. Trump should consider all of them enemies until proven otherwise. Trust but verify these liberal country club trash establishment Republicans.

By ‘Jan. 6 Attack’ I am presuming this is about Pelosi’s Insurrection on Jan. 6.
