Aides Dissuaded Trump From Making Jan. 6 So Much Worse

Cassidy Hutchinson made one thing very clear in her testimony.

Were it not for civil servants, lawyers, and longtime federal employees, former President Trump would have made Jan. 6 far, far worse.

Fascists, at heart, are fascists. Autocrats, at heart, are fascists. Insurrectionists, at heart, are insurrectionists. Trump is all three, and worse. His instincts are purely criminal, unpatriotic, illegal, and unconstitutional. He is a stain on this nation.

A few years ago we visited the Churchill War rooms museum in London. It really made you think about how fragile the UK was. Todayā€™s hearing reminded me of that

The net is that Skanky, First Daughter-Wife Iwanker, First Escort Melaria, Self Fellatio Czar Cuck Kushner, Coke-addled Failson Skanky Jr. and Kimberly Gargoyle did not have the cojones to march with their supporters. They are not just traitors but spineless cowards. People drove out with AR-15s, glocks, weapons of mass destruction, explosive devices, and ammunition from all across the country, climbed trees and passed on magnetometers to overthrow the government for them. Gargoyle even got $60K for screaming without walking the walk.

Skanky should have proved his military bonafides to pro-war, pro-coup and pro-Putin conservative extremists how much he had learned in that expensive military boarding school and as commander-in-chief of Putinā€™s nethers. Skanky and the entire family should have brought their own military-grade weapons, rope, zipties, toilet paper, and clean underwear and walked with the armed mob that was invading the Capitol to hang the Vice President and prevented him from doing his constitutional duties.

Skanky should not have trusted the Bobby Engel and the Secret Service and taken the limo. Even Pence and Mother who are not that smart or conservative knew better. They did not trust the Secret Service that was going to take them to Andrews Airforce Base stockade. The crime family failed their insurrection.

Bobby Engel had a duty to follow the effing traitorā€™s instructions. Engel should be fired for insubordination.

TFG was going to go to Capital with the weapons aimed at Senate, Congress and Capitol police. Obvious intent, criminal through and Through. And Cippalone hasnā€™t agreed to testify???
A 26 year old female staff member had the courage. Not Pence, not McReynolds, not Jordan, Not McCarthyā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.not one single cabinet member. Criminals all!

That 74 million of our ā€˜adultā€™ citizens voted for the bastard is a stain on our nation as well, given how he had ā€˜ruledā€™ for four years. No excuse.

Grabbed for his clavicle? Thatā€™s a euphemism to say Trump tried to choke the Secret Service agent who would take a bullet for a president. Trump forfeited that deference.

In other words, Trump is a violent sociopath. But what does all this say about the 74 million people who voted for him?

That right there is the issue. That right there is why this country is hanging by a thread.

If not for the even-worse bloodshed that would likely have occurred, I wish heā€™d gone to the front and led the mob. Then there would be no doubt, and no way for anyone to do anything except convict the miserable bastard.

Isnā€™t it about time that DOJ convened a grand jury to start formally taking evidence to indict Trump for a least several major offenses

Sedition?
Incitement to riot?
Reckless disregard for life?
Obstruction of Congress?
Promoting the murder of a federal official (Pence)?

Need we go on?

Can there be any doubt that TFG would have taken great pleasure, had he been at the front lines or, more realistically, a safe distance back from the fighting but still right there, in ordering his True Believers to start firing at the Capitol Police in their way in order to Stop the Big Steal?

And Iā€™ll wager the vast majority of them would vote for him again, even after this. All this toddler bullshit is ā€œfake,ā€ or itā€™s owning the libs. Theyā€™ll say the first until theyā€™re forced to say the second. The cult shall not be dissuaded that he is a deity, even (especially) if he micturates all over them while calling them losers.

We think alike, obviously, on this. Still, Iā€™m glad he didnā€™t as the absence of doubt wouldnā€™t have been worth the tragedy. Thereā€™s still no doubt, and it gets clearer every day, thanks to the J6 Committee.

And if people with visible ARā€™s had approached the Capitol, then what? Would the Capitol Police have fired on them?

And even if they were ā€œhis peopleā€, Meal Team Six would spray it and say it, taking down a lot with friendly fire. Maybe even TFG.
