Tin foil hat here: If the guardsmen were on the Capitol grounds, could Trump have used them to pull off the coup?
Bowser didn’t ask for more guardsmen until 1:30 pm on 1/6, at the earliest, once the crowd had descended upon the capitol and it became clear the original force wasn’t going to be enough. Hogan wasn’t contacted until about 2:45 pm that day.
this is great. watching these assholes getting arrested is so satisfying.
it's crazy that the word 'accountability' is now [openly] a leftist term/concept
Over the years of his presidency, as controversies and investigations of his conduct began to grow, television became a less reliable safe space. Broadcast networks, pressured to be more aggressive in their approach to him and his aides, asked tougher questions. With the exception of Fox News, cable networks that had rushed to put him on air throughout 2016 and the early stages of his presidency clamped down, cutting back on broadcasting his live appearances in particular.
And his adventures in the White House briefing room generally did not go well and revealed the limits of his grasp of policy or current events. One Trump adviser was blunt, saying that the president did not like most aspects of his job, and that included being asked questions for which he did not know the answers.
So when Mr. Trump went to the briefing room for weeks in the spring to discuss the coronavirus, advisers said, he liked the visual aspects of his performance but not the reality of having a back and forth that led to him being condemned and ridiculed for his dangerous statements about fighting the virus with bleach and light and his fact-free assertions about everything getting better
Mr. Trump’s White House aides said he loved tweeting and then watching the chyrons on cable news channels quickly change in response. For a septuagenarian whose closest allies and aides say often exhibits the emotional development of a preteen, and for whom attention has been a narcotic, the instant gratification of his tweets was hard to match.
man, what if twitter had led with banning Trump in 2016? he's like a fucking ghost without a megaphone. fuck you twitter
the MAGA crowd should simply think of Parler as the gay wedding cake that Amazon, Google, and Apple don't want to serve.
