I don’t think the two witnesses actually came out and say what they were really thinking when Trump sent his tweet condemning Pence. They both said that it was adding “fuel to the fire”, but I have trouble believing it was the moment they decided to resign unless it was more stark: they interpreted it as a call to kill Pence.
Lots of Republicans being quoted saying T needed to stop the rioters.
And tweets from Fox personalities to Meadows, telling him to make Trump stop all this.
I’m watching on MSNBC and they didn’t bleep the word “fuck” from Don Jr’s tweet. Good! Did any of theother networks also not bleep it?
CNN did not bleep anything. The tweet was displayed on screen, and read out loud, with all the words pronounced in full.
NPR did not censor it.
Gosh. It’s like they’re afraid of what they’d been building towards for decades.
Sarah Matthews now testifying that Trump resisted writing, “Stay peaceful,” in his tweets.
Ali Alexander messaged that Trump was not ignorant of what his words would do.
They are not bleeping.
It should be noted that there might have been dedicated assassination squads sprinkled in with the crowd. Ergo, the police and Secret Service pretty much had to act as if any rioter they encountered was potentially a member of such.
I appreciate the congressional declaration that “motherfucker” is merely “strong language”.
You got that right: “We’re in the fuckin’ Capitol, bro!”
I know it isn’t important, but who is the person to the right of Sarah Matthews? She’s been staring at her very intently. Legal counsel?
It is honestly astonishing there were not more casualties or deaths. Every time I see footage of the insurrection from that day, I feel sick.
“… military principle 105…”
A real thing?
A quick g-search comes up with nothing relevant.
Same here, but not my world.
Having Fox News narrate the violence is a smart move.
“Leader McCarthy… was scared and begging” T to call off the mob.
I think they’re using whatever sources do the best job at any given time. I’ve seen Fox, of course, but also CBS, and CNN’s coverage has been mentioned.
Liz and Adam seem to enjoy saying that.
