Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
Good deal. He’s a slime ball and slandered those women.
[Haha](https://youtube.com/shorts/BqvOvncWbXw?si=2HiRktbB5IEZoyD0)
Interesting trumps deporting targets are gangs and criminals, but he’s been pardoning the same type of people from their crimes against America.
I’m laughing so hard at this, It couldn’t have happened to a sweeter guy. I’m furious that Trump was giving out these pardons for the insurrectionists, especially Eastman.
He deserves the smack down, but trump deserves about 50x the smack down guiliani is getting.
And now Trump wants to go to the Supreme Court for his civil state case with E.Jean Carroll. 🤦♂️
I am just waiting for Trump to go after everyone who is going after Giuliani
Because they are STATE charges.
Love this for him.
HA HA. Get fucked creep.
Cmon it’s Rudy. If any of the indictments look serious he will hold a press conference and announce that he passed away in his sleep the night before.
The legacy he could have had, the legend he could have been… The Detective Comic villain he became…
I look forward to being in need of a bathroom close to his final resting place
Republicans have been desperately trying to whitewash January 6th for years while downplaying the violence committed by Trump’s followers and the crimes committed by him and his fellow co-conspirators. Sadly, they’ve all but succeeded with most of their voters. So let’s address this counterfactual nonsense.
But first, what Republicans won’t tell you is that they initially voted *against* a bipartisan commission to investigate the events of Jan 6th, and have since accused the resulting Jan 6th inquiry of being some “witch hunt” aimed at Trump and his followers.
Trump’s recent set of pardons were handed out to every single one of his named co-conspirators. This is no coincidence.
Trump also tried justifying his pardons to all Jan 6th rioters by telling Sean Hannity in an interview that these were “very minor incidents.”
Many of the rioters pardoned, including leaders of domestic extremist groups, participated in the violent attacks on Jan 6th.
Not only did they intend to disrupt the certification of the election, but they also did extensive damage to the Capitol.
They clashed violently with police, they broke windows, they vandalized offices, and they stole government property. It’s estimated that the attack exceeded $2.8 million in damages.
Over 140 police officers were assaulted that day. Evidence shows that rioters used firearms, tasers, knives, and chemical and makeshift weapons like bear spray, flagpoles and baseball bats.
One Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, died of a stroke after being hospitalized for injuries he sustained from the rioters. Multiple officers committed suicide days after the attack and many more suffered from psychological trauma and physical injuries.
One particularly heinous example includes Michael Fanone, a DC police officer who was beaten within an inch of his life.
He wasn’t on duty that day but responded to radio calls for assistance. After he reached the Capitol, the rioters dragged him down the steps, sprayed chemicals in his face, beat him and tazed him repeatedly while telling him that they were going to “kill him with his own gun.” All Fanone could do at the time was plead with his attackers to not kill him because he “has kids.”
He suffered from burns, a concussion, traumatic brain injury and a heart attack. He retired and testified at the Jan 6 trial. His family received many violent threats as a result, which forced him to seek out a protective order.
The man who tased him, Daniel Rodriguez, mobilized a group of extremists online, told them to bring knives and bear spray with them to the Capitol where he said he would “hang Congress.” After he tazed Fanone, he wrote in a group chat, “tazed the fuck out of the blue.”
Rodriguez was pardoned…
Let’s not forget the chants of “hang Mike Pence” as the mob was storming the Capitol halls. Imagine for a moment what would have happened if these people actually got their hands on a congressman.
Several organized, far right extremist groups were involved in the attack, including the Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, The Three Percenters, followers of Qanon, along with other neo-Nazi groups.
And despite this, January 6th downplayers have repeatedly referred to these violent participants as “political hostages.”
Some Republicans, including GOP leaders themselves, have threatened to investigate and jail those who served on the Jan 6th committee. This is the *real* “weaponization of the justice system.” Members of the committee have also received threats of violence.
***A common talking point among conservatives blames Nancy Pelosi for what happened.***
***These claims are not supported by the facts. Pelosi did not have the authority to activate the National Guard. In fact, records show that Pelosi approved a previous request for National Guard support, and continued pushing for their deployment when delays occurred.***
Yet the MAGA movement is still hell bent on scapegoating Democrats and “radical leftist” groups like “Antifa” while downplaying the violence that occurred and promoting fringe conspiracy theories.
Many Republicans—including Trump himself—have latched onto these “false flag” narratives, doing everything they can to diminish the role that Trump and his enablers played in encouraging the attack and the violence committed that day by his mob of supporters
This effort is clearly trying to discredit Trump’s critics and blame the January 6th attack on some nebulous, “deep state” enemy. Trump’s defenders are determined to absolve him, his co-conspirators and his violent followers of all wrongdoing; making the criminals out to be the victims of this insurrection.
Here’s the simple fact, if you take Trump out of the equation, January 6th never happens.
For months leading up to the election, Trump promoted election denying lies, conspiracy theories and misinformation. Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, his false claims, his refusal to concede, his efforts to disrupt the transfer of power, his violence inciting speech, and his invitation to his supporters helped facilitate the events of January 6th.
The subsequent investigation showed that many Trump supporters brought weapons with them to the Capitol. However, magnetometers prevented the violent MAGA horde from bringing some of those weapons with them into the grounds and rally area.
Testimony revealed that Donald Trump knew about these weapons. Trump reportedly claimed that his supporters weren’t “here to hurt him,” and that they should “take the fucking mags away,” he continued, “let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in, take the fucking mags away.”
The investigation also revealed Trump’s inaction as events were transpiring. It was reported that for 187 minutes, Trump refused to take any public action to stop the violence.
During this time, Trump was watching the ensuing riot unfold on television from his private dining room next to the oval office. It was concluded that Trump chose *not* to stop it.
The January 6 investigation also revealed the following:
– Donald Trump conspired to overturn the election, took actions to “defraud the United States” and disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.
– He also attempted to install loyalists into positions of power within the DOJ, including Jeffrey Clark, who would support his unfounded claims of election fraud and try to use the power of the justice department to overturn the election results. Justice officials threatened to resign if Clark was given the position.
– Trump also pressured state officials to change the outcome of the election in their states.
– Trump and his allies schemed to generate and submit slates of fake electors In several key states to replace the legitimate electors certified by those states.
– He also tried pressuring Mike Pence into rejecting the certified electoral votes in Congress.
The evidence is clear. No matter what lengths Republicans will go to in order to minimize what happened, January 6th was a day of destruction and violence. A day that should have lived on in infamy. A day of seditious rioting fomented by Donald Trump and carried out by his radical followers.
