Of course it wasn’t Trump.

Arrest this piece of shit
“We have to have peace.” Nudge nudge, wink wink! “We have an election that was stolen from us.” (Note: Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube removed the offensive video since I first put it up.)
Actually, you need to have him charged with insurrection. He doesn’t deserve another protracted impeachment process, which he’ll only use to fan the flames. He needs to be arrested at once, and here in this article is the statute https://t.co/3UYHJbZFlJ

What I believe
All that happened yesterday was probably part of what prompted those former secretaries of state to write that letter last week, the one warning Trump against using the military to settle the election.
William Kirstol wrote last week that there were rumors they wanted to address, that Trump planned to use the military to stop the electoral college vote count and even to arrest Joe Biden.
“Efforts to involve the armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful & unconstitutional territory.”

Think about the fact Trump’s defense secretary until two months ago, who knows what’s going on at DOD, signed this. https://t.co/Uxx9gRGDSs
This was the plan all along. Trump has never given up finding a way to stay in power, there is too much at stake: legally, and financially. Yesterday didn’t just happen; it was a plan. So far, it hasn’t worked.

Amazing statement by the Secretary of Defense.
Note whom Secretary Miller and Chairman Milley did NOT speak to: President Trump.

Super nice of that cop to help a MAGA terrorist down the steps of the Capitol.

It kills me to say this, because I’ve known a ton of Capitol Police, and they were all wonderful.
— Eric Schmeltzer 🇺🇸 (@JustSchmeltzer) January 6, 2021
But pretty clear on video that a good number of Capitol Police allowed these terrorist mobs to take the Capitol.
Needs an investigation, and jobs need to be lost, if not more.
Why is there a source close to the White House who is in touch with the rioters? https://t.co/0IYmQzeCNF

So far, DC police say they've made just 13 arrests.

Turn on your teevee
So the Trump minions have stormed the Capitol building, breached security, strewn pipe bombs all over the Capitol complex, and all hell is breaking loose.
When Trump addressed their rally this morning, he encouraged them to storm the Capitol — and then snuck back to the White House.
This is not a protest it’s a riot!

And everyone knew Trump was going to do this, and no one stopped him. Why isn’t the media calling him out for being a piece of garbage. pic.twitter.com/YbMTP9yQu3

Good news
The White House counsel and his chief of staff seem to have blocked this coup attempt by Mike Flynn and crazy lady Sidney Powell. But WTF? And why is the media blowing right past this story?
