How convenient. They didn't do their jobs. The DC police didn't do their job. A possible pivotal moment and...nothing? But this is simply coincidence? Some of the "best & brightest" all simultaneously go brain dead?
I'm no fan of Trump. But as such facts continue to align my distate for him is overshadowed by my fear of nefarious actors and other suspect agendas.
- dmode 6y agoThe nefarious actor is Trump and his cronies who most likely directed Federal agencies not to act. He already paused the National Guard deployment
- guscost 6y agoThere's more going on than appears to be the case from either of these (PR submarine) stories: https://apnews.com/article/capitol-police-reject-federal-help-9c39a4ddef0ab60a48828a07e4d03380 https://apnews.com/article/capitol-police-reject-federal-hel...
- disgrunt 6y agoThat really worked out well for him.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoNah. He likely did not. Instead others played to that expectation, knew they could craft a "riot" and then drive a stake into the Trump legacy. It will be a long long long time before the public votes for a candidate who is not a life long 100% legitimate Red or Blue. This is the final lesson to the masses: Don't you ever deviate again.
- dmode 6y agoI don’t understand your point. Trump and right wing media had organized the Jan 6th event. Nobody needed to do anything. Trump and his cronies are solely responsible for what happened
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoI don’t think it was the DC police. That area is the responsibility of the Capitol police which is a different organization.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoOk. Fair enough. But the gist stands. This event was allowed to happen.
