Heads up, this isn’t being reported by Maddow, Joy Behar, Don Lemon, honorable sources that always get it right, etc, but it has been viewed over three million xs in a day. It’s 11 minutes for the curious intellectuals. https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/174448861740420...

This is the very definition of dropping a turd in the punch bowl and running away. If you have some Kellyanne Conway 'alternative facts' for what happened on Jan 6, then spell them out, and support them with documentation and quotes. Do a little research to validate whatever nonsense he's selling and you're buying. I'm not about to add to the view count of Cucker Tarlson, a loathsome racist, misogynist POS who got fired from Fox "News" for lying so egregiously that it cost the network nearly a billion dollars.

good morning common, so, you have an opinion on the content, but you refuse to watch it, have we got that right? Did Chris Cuomo get, fired? What do you think of the work he is currently doing on news nation? Turn off msnbc and try Cuomo and Abrams you might like it and learn something. Have a grand day bud.

Same answer: stop dropping turds in the punch bowl. Got a point to make, make it. I'm not clicking random click bait.

Yes."" Point being, why not try Cuomo tonight, people can, up their game, no ? Do you know Obamas position on gay rights years ago ? Should we judge him based on what he thought, 15 years ago ? Thank you.

What really happened?

1. Well, it wasn't an insurrection. A proper insurrection would likely involve firearms. A lot of firearms. The only one that's been cited was fired by the BLM member Capitol Cop who shot and killed USAF veteran Mrs. Babbitt.

2. And it wasn't an attempt to "overturn an election". The election was NOT done yet, and therefore couldn't be "overturned". The protest was challenging the certification of electoral votes. (Why is there a certification process anyway??? Why??? And why weren't the legal challenges to the certification on the floor of the Congress pursued???)

Footnote: After Pelosi** road blocked Trump's suggestion of National Guard to maintain order for the day, has anyone looked into Pelosi's meeting where she said "we want to keep troops away and see if these mobs can be incited to do something crazy"? "It will be a sight to behold".

(**Why in the world did she have authority to block the troops in the first place???)

BrerBear: Well, it wasn't an insurrection. A proper insurrection would likely involve firearms.

Likely?

I haven't looked lately but in January 2021 least 13 people were hit with illegal gun possession charges stemming from the insurrection. Dozens more wielded knives, stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats, and flagpoles wielded as clubs and other real and makeshift weapons. A couple of pipe bombs too.

And here's the dictionary meaning of INSURRECTION: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

No guns required.

BrerBear: The election was NOT done yet, and therefore couldn't be "overturned".

Yeah, it was done.

Additional key dates for the presidential election: Under 3 U.S.C. § 5, a state must settle any presidential election disputes and determine its electors six days before the Electoral College meets. This safe harbor provision deadline fell on December 8, 2020. The Electoral College cast its votes for president and vice president on December 14, 2020.

BrerBear: After Pelosi** road blocked Trump's suggestion of National Guard to maintain order for the day, has anyone looked into Pelosi's meeting where she said "we want to keep troops away and see if these mobs can be incited to do something crazy"? "It will be a sight to behold".

Laughable nonsense.

AP:

CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-235651652...

AP:

CLAIM: Former President Donald Trump signed an order to deploy 20,000 National Guard troops before his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but was stopped by the House sergeant at arms, at the behest of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. While Trump was involved in discussions in the days prior to Jan. 6 about the National Guard response, he issued no such order before or during the rioting. Speaker Pelosi does not control National Guard troops.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-order-...

And if AP is not an organization you believe, CNN, the Washington Post, USA Today, Yahoo News, Politifact, and just about every other news organization in America states those claims are false.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal: "Lets talk about the fact that President Trump incited an erection."

What really happened?

A gallows was erected by FBI and Homeland security. Double secret agent Ray Epps instructed the crowd to go into the capitol the night before and continued on Jan 6.

Jan 6ers thought they were headed to a luncheon by the capitol and we're mislead by agents of the deep state, shot at with rubber bullets and gassed, Jan 6ers were herded into the capital. They brought zip ties to take food home. Their presence was initially welcomed by congress critters, but then deep state rushed Congress out, making it look like Jan 6ers were trying to interrupt the peaceful transition of power as Jan 6ers milled about looking for the luncheon. FBI agents beat the hell out of a few cops, sprayed bear spray on cops, and generally upset the peacefully milling Jan 6ers.

Then Trump found out where they were and peacefully requested they go home. Because the steps appeared unstable, some of the Jan 6ers picked up objects to weigh themselves down as they descended. "What a lovely day," said Pooh the Shaman as he and Piglet Oathkeeper sauntered back to the 3%er acre woods. "Where did we stash all those guns?" asked Roo.
