In the end the organizers delayed, then aborted the Supreme Court rally…
I wonder how the conservative SCOTUS justices feel about this abortion.

No Rudy, FNC ditched you because they still aren’t finished being sued for the things that you said there.

Oh that’s not needed since Mitch packed the court with six corrupted crooks.

I think the organizers have plausible deniability here, not to forget that the WH staff under Trump’s direction highjack the event planning. Thus bringing into the equations “executive privilege”.
I do agree that Trump is not the master mind, but the whiny crying big baby in the room.

“The Trumpers kept asking us, you guys aren’t Antifa are you?” the guard recalls. “And we’re like no, we’re security.”
They were desperate to find Antifa–the rank-and-file insurrectionists surely were primed to expect the leftist monstrosity to be active and in full force. Somehow the idea of rabid Trumpists asking these security guys directly if they were Antifa seems as ludicrous as anything else that happened. The security dudes are probably lucky they were asked–someone, anyone in the mob could just as likely have assumed that <> was the Antifa foe they’d been preparing to meet.
Was the Supreme Court in session that day? Would the justices have actually been in the building?
Good reporting Josh!

This is a loaded word since “The Princess Bride,” but before it happened it was literally inconceivable that a bunch of rioters would invade the Capitol and chase out the members. Nobody sane would have thought for a moment that such a thing could happen. I suppose there were precursors, if you think about it. The Brooks Brothers riot comes to mind. But yeah, the stars aren’t likely to realign in quite that way any time soon. People have to stop catastrophizing. It’s fun, I get it, but it’s not grim realism. It’s actually mostly silly.

Diamond and Silk aka Coal and burlap because like any cult went along for the ride.
Note how descending upon the Pentagon was apparently not a part of their haphazard plans. That’s could be because of former general and Qanon fanboy Mike Flynn’s brother having some prior warning about the planning.

the Capitol Police force’s intelligence assessment said there were “no plans for participants to enter the buildings” and noted “no adverse intelligence related to the upcoming event.” It assessed “the Level of Probability of acts of civil disobedience/arrests to occur” during the demonstration “as Highly Improbable.”
Does the Capitol Police force’s intelligence officer still have a job?

I hope to be entirely wrong, but I think in 2024 all the packing of election certification boards and state-level vote suppression efforts will mean it’s Democrats who choose whether to protest an actual stolen election. Which means it plays out in court and everyone sits around wondering how to undo a thousand acts of malfeasance while the GOP pops champagne.

Well it has been reported that Fox has shown, and shown doctored footage of the “riots” in the NW, on a continuous loop. Sort trying to create the Joe McCarthy Red Scare level fear and suspicion, you know like the operating plan since Feb. 1996 when Fox first went on the air.

…and watches college bowl games, shrugs when one NFL quarterback lies about being vaccinated and keeps playing while another one can’t get a job for kneeling, and ponders which series to stream on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
In other words, today will be the past and the past is prologue!

Yes, it’s a pretty good hike from the White House to the Pentagon. Not impossible, but it’s several miles away, and requires walking across a bridge, swimming or rowing for part of the journey.
