Civil War will determine the future of our country and decide who is right and who is wrong. This will probably happen when the socialist party cheats on the next election.
Even the low IQ suburban moms can see it was a setup
it's funny how we have this committee still working on a so-called insurrection that happened about 1 1/2 years ago (and who knows when they will stop, maybe never), while the presidential election of 2020 never had a committee seriously investigate the allegations of cheating in several key states where Trump had been leading in the vote counts and then late in the evening Biden's vote counts passed Trumps apparently due in great part to an incredible number of drop box votes coming from who knows where. Seems extremely suspicious, but nope, no investigation on that.
When does Ray Epps testify?
Jan. 6 wasn't an insurrection. Stop calling it what it isn’t.

Words have meaning.
The events of Jan. 6 have been described by Senator Schumer as a date that will live in infamy  harkening back to FDR’s words after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Others have compared Jan. 6 with 9-11. Some historians declared it to be the worst act of rebellion since the nation’s founding, while others believe there’s been nothing like it since the Civil War. The news media and the Left use “insurrection†to describe Jan. 6.
They’re all wrong.
Historically, Shays’ Rebellion (1786-1787), the Whiskey Rebellion (1790), and Fries Rebellion (1799) were actual acts of insurrection.
Post-Civil War, the Wilmington Insurrection (1898) is by far worse than Jan. 6. Another one, the Battle of Athens, TN (1946), involved local armed WWII GIs taking over the town, forcing the corrupt sheriff to hide in the jail clinging to the election ballot boxes, until he finally surrendered and the GIs’ candidate won the election. There were the L.A. riots of 1992.
And the BLM riots during the summer of 2020 caused 18 deaths, over $1 billion dollars in damage, including federal and state buildings, and in some cities sovereign nations were declared.
Jan. 6. caused $1.5 million in damage and, despite what was often reported, one person was killed. An unarmed woman, Ashley Babbitt, was shot by a Capitol police officer. The officer’s interview on NBC resulted in more questions than answers about why he fired his weapon and killed Babbitt.
The word insurrection is a legal term. Under federal law it’s a crime to incite or engage in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the U.S. or its laws. Black’s Law Dictionary defines insurrection as “a violent revolt against oppressive authority.†It is to be distinguished from a mob or riot based on organization of an armed uprising. Mobs and riots can involve unlawful and violent acts, but they aren’t necessarily insurrections. A revolt is an act to overthrow the government. Insurrection, therefore, requires an organized group that plans an attack to overthrow the government.
To date, a small percentage of the approximately 725 charged have been accused of violent crimes, and no charges of rebellion or insurrection have been filed. Around 165 have pled guilty to charges  mostly to misdemeanors. Only 30 were given jail time. The FBI investigation has yielded little evidence of a coordinated and organized attack. Instead, 95 percent of the participants were acting individually.
An AP story intending to link Trump to the riot published some of the comments made by participants during court appearances. None of them stated that the event was planned. Indeed, most indicated they didn’t really know why they did it. They said they felt inspired by Trump’s comments and believed the election was fraudulent, but there was no organized or coordinated plan to attack the Capitol.
Most of the Jan. 6 participants have been charged with trespass. One local man was at the Capitol dressed as George Washington for selfies. A woman from Missouri recently admitted being at the Capitol and stealing a broken sign.
Video footage shows people walking single file past idle officers as they entered the building. Afterward, most exited on their own accord.
Very few were arrested that day. Since Jan. 6, the DOJ has used a campaign of “shock and awe†to round up and detain people, again predominantly charged with misdemeanors. Compared with the BLM riots, prosecutors do seem more zealous about Jan. 6. Yet, insurrection charges haven’t been filed.
Confrontation between officers and rioters did happen. Violence definitely occurred. But, the only shot fired was, again, by the officer who killed Babbitt.
Jan. 6 was a horrible event. People who acted violently or damaged property should be prosecuted. Those who unlawfully trespassed should also be prosecuted. But as bad as Jan. 6 actually was, it was not the worst in American history. It can’t be compared to Pearl Harbor or 9-11. It’s not even the worst this century.
Because words have meaning, Jan. 6 can’t be called an “insurrection†just to satisfy the urge to convey a particular seriousness of the event or to propagate a political narrative. This type of narrative is aimed at silencing conservatives, not describing what happened that day. Most participants were not violent people. They weren’t acting as part of a coordinated rebellion. There was no intent to topple the government. They were impassioned citizens at a rally that turned into a riot. It was shameful, but not an insurrection.
Possible legal consequences???4 people died that day😢

Trump is going to look so svelte in prision orange! Matches his face.
Why don't they show the whole story , ? would it backfire public opinion ?
Who did and did not authorize the National Guard ?
It’s no longer a question of whether Trump is a traitor, everyone knows he is, the question is whether his lickspittle cult members are still Americans.
The Kangaroo Court Rages On…
Who is Ray Epps?
Any explanation for the video CapitolPunishment?
Whose news? Wooz News-
"People are actually going to try and hurt politicians," one collector wrote to his colleague on January 2, after finding a map that was circulated online of all the exits and entrances to the Capitol building. "January 6 is gonna be crazy."
In a different message exchange the following day, DHS analysts called threats unlikely, though one suggested he had some doubts. "I mean people are talking about storming Congress, bringing guns, willing to die for the cause, hanging politicians with ropes," the collector wrote in a message to a colleague.
Messages from another chat appeared to show two collectors joking about potential threats to lawmakers. "Like there are these people talking about hanging Democrats from ropes like wtf," one DHS staff member wrote."Overall, open source collectors explained to us that they did not think storming the U.S. Capitol was possible, and, therefore, they dismissed this specific type of threat as hyperbole," the watchdog found.
The 54-page report by DHS' Office of the Inspector General found the department "was unable to provide its many state, local and federal partners with timely, actionable and predictive intelligence," even though it was the only member of the federal intelligence community required by law to share such information with state, local and other non-federal officials.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/homeland-security-january-6-intelligence-report/
Fake News. They lie to the public 24/7.
Antinatalist message I have been leaving on my American politicians' answering machines:
==================================================
Hello. My name is XXXX.
I am calling from your district on behalf of Athiest Antinatalist Animal Rights Vegans
or AARVs. All true patriotic Americans are AARVs. We fight for REAL freedom:
freedom for the BILLIONS of innocent fully sentient animals forced against their will
in tiny cages in factory farms. We support war against factory farming.
We support massive funding for cellular agriculture, biocultured meat, & genetic engineering.
We also know that humans are animals and therefore humans also have the right
NOT to be forced into existence without their prior consent.
I personally support mandatory vasectomies + mandatory abortions
of hypocritical meat-eaters, religionists, antivaxxers,
Anthropogenic Global Warming deniers, and all other forms of antiscience history-denialists
and reality-denialists.
The vegan antinalism cause is NOT some TRIVIAL cause like the antiabortion cause of fighting
a TRIVIAL amount of pain forced on barely sentient fetuses. Nor a trivial cause
like antivaxx: opposing a trivial sting of a shot to stave off a massive harm like a pandemic.
I call on you to support gun freedom for AARVs. We are the true patriots who should be armed.
We AARVs are SICK and TIRED of ONLY the conservative and centrist ideologies being represented
in OUR government. If politicians won't make life perfectly fair and wealth-labor equal,
then politicians have no right to complain about whatever the nonconsenting born do
nor what their political opinions are or what laws they break.
No right to complain if nobody breeds for them.
There is nothing sacred nor important nor necessary about the status quo.
Breeding is selfish. Breeding is murder. Outlaw it now. Thank you.

Honestly I will NEVER trust the Republican party EVER again! And the DOJ better keep an eye on Trump, cause he the type to flee to Russia
I don't care what one's political affiliation is… to think this man could ever be returned to power is truly unfathomable.. how so many people can just turn a blind eye to everything we know is factual about his intentions to stay in power at all costs – the entire premise of our country that we vote and there's a peaceful transfer of power was attacked by only one presidential candidate in history… they just want cheaper gas and hate biden.. that's more important to them than preserving our Constitution and democratic processes.. sad
Record US INFLATION. 6 th Jan investigation won't fix Biden's INFLATION crisis.
2016 russian collusion conspirators sit in this court of jesters. wat do u expect? cant fool everyone all the time… remember 2016?? one of the causes of 2020.. fools
Republicans placed Trump in power, and now the damage is done and it's mostly irreversible. What more evidence does anyone need to know Republican = Stupid?
I take vote tampering very seriously
Are you censoring me youtube and abc?
LIZ ARE WE SENDING OUR RESERVE OIL TO CH VIA HB’s SINOPEC?
Been a bad year for Biden and the Democrats-Socialists.. But a worse time for Americans. Russia hoax exposed created by Hillary, her attorney and the Dems themselves too GET TRUMP that cost taxpayers millions and millions, this new bogus attempt is just another bust and again taxpayers pay the bill. Dem's campaigned for a certified moron in Biden who try's to shake hands with invisible people. Country over party Democrats lecture? Democrats intentionally hid Biden in his bunker from the American public and press because of his dementia to win an election (so much for 'country over party' hypocrites), record high gas price's, 40 year record high inflation and getting worse, 11 dead Marines, 71 billion in military equipment given to the Taliban and their terrorist friends in Afghanistan, Roe is history, abortion is now limited, millions of illegal aliens, drugs and terrorists crossing our southern border and Joe does nothing….still has done nothing. This in ONE years time! Biden is deteriorating mentally right before our eyes.
Never thought I'd thank the lawyer for stepping in xD
Remember the Russia hoax people, when Democrats lied, and lied AND lied for years even to their own constituents. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Same routine as the Kavanaugh, Gorsuch & Russia smears, they bring in another version of Christine Blasey Ford for sworn 'here say' testimony LOL. These "hearings" are literally ran by some the same liars who perpetrated the Russia hoax hearings which proved to be completely BS created by the Democrats themselves and cost taxpayers millions & millions all to GET TRUMP. Its not just Biden who is corrupt, the Democrats hid Biden in his bunker from the American people, the press, because they knew he had at the least cognitive issues and early stages of dementia. Today's Democrat party is corrupt to the core. This committee is a collection of anti Trumpers Thompson, Raskin, Shiff, Aguilar. Just another attempt to smear Trump at taxpayers expense. Pelosi handpicking two Republicans RINOS, Liz Cheney & Adam Kezinger to make it appear fair and non partisan is not only slimy but an insult to your intelligence. Zero credibility for this firing squad. Democrats aren't even good at corruption.
Whomever is the real person in charge of the country is scared to death of white supremacists. There answer is to literally flood the country from all over the world. Next on the list is to give them the right to voter or citizenship. Mayorkas is a pawn for Biden. Joe Biden is a pawn for ? Have you seen all the pregnant woman crossing the border? $15K a child birth with no complications. Schools, from K-12 it costs taxpayers on average of $122,000 for EACH illegal alien student. This does not include the millions spent on bilingual ED, instructors, daycare. School class size's are negatively impacted and our students suffer as a result. $3Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate, process Illegal aliens in the Criminal justice system. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance program. Emergency services, every police, fire,paramedic for city & states increase dramatically. Taxpayers pay for all hospital, emergency room treatments, ambulances. Our children and grand children will be pay for this in the future as we will now.
…………………..It's a great plan! Allow an invasion and the American taxpayers pay for the invaders themselves.

Is your socialist State Representative listed?
Congressional Progressive Socialists who recently voted “NO†on the bill to protect USSC Justices and their families. To this date the federal government has not supplied protection for the justices at their homes. Demonstrators at the Justices homes are in violation of two federal laws. Merrick Garland does nothing. This is the same group that voted for de-funding the police, voting rights for illegal aliens, 'Gun control', and support open borders.
