Jan 6th was the worst attack on the Capitol since 1812? Odd because in 1954, five congressmen were wounded on the floor when 4 terrorists opened fire from the visitor area. (Prez Carter later commuted/reduced the sentences.)

March 1, 1971 NYT: “A bomb, apparently planted by a group or person protesting against the Vietnam war, exploded early this morning in the Senate wing of the Capitol, causing extensive damage but no injuries.”

How many bombs went off Jan 6th?

Nov 7, 1983: At 10:58 p.m. a thunderous explosion tore through the second floor of the Capitol’s north wing... The force of the device blew off the door to the office of Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd.

How many bombs went off in the Capitol on Jan 6?

“Shortly before midnight on Friday, July 2, 1915, police responded to the U.S. Capitol where an explosion had just rocked the Senate wing.”

Haven’t seen anything close to this damage from Jan 6th.

Oct 2018: Hundreds storm a US Senate building during the sacred work of confirming a Supreme Court Justice for a position that holds longer than a presidential term. 302 were arrested by Cap Hill Police; none by the Feds. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Summer of 2020: POTUS & family are rushed to the White House Bunker as insurrectionists scaled fencing trying to overthrow the government. 60 secret service agents were wounded; 11 needed hospital for defending the WH in the worst attack on it since 1812. foxnews.com/us/more-than-6…
July 24, 1998: Two Capitol Police officers, Officer Jacob J. Chestnut, Jr., and Detective John M. Gibson, died in the line of duty. An armed assailant stormed past a U.S. Capitol security checkpoint; he made it deep into the building where he was shot.

🚨 Video of the insurrection at the White House last summer.

Likely the worst attack since 1812 and appears to be more mayhem than Jan 6th.

I am not aware of a hunt by the Feds for those who stood there (as done to 100s of Jan 6th)

Videos posted by @EvyMages @MrEricAngelo
Details of the May-into-June 2020 violent insurrection at the White House that wounded more than 60 USSS Secret Service agents and officers.

I am unaware how many if any people were federally charged (and held behind bars for a year) over this as done to dozens of Jan sixers. Image

🧵🧵🧵

Hi. Please vote regardless of the content below.

People have often rejected the claim that election fraud ("mistakes & errors") occurred in 2020 in the 100s or in the 1000s; which is a huge sum considering that states are often very narrowly decided.

Let's look at GA.
2/ Do date, Biden officially won GA by 11,709 votes which is a 0.23% margin among the 4.93 million votes.

How narrow is a 0.23% margin?

Well, let's read what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) wrote on Nov 19, 2020 following a statewide manual recount:
3/ "No county had an error rate higher than 0.73% compared to their original results" in a state decided by 0.23%

If a manual, rushed recount uncovered in one place an error rate larger than the state's margin of victory, what would a thorough investigation statewide find? Image

PANTS PISSING Cons ran for the hills about the debate due to some fake mediaaa expectations and because, well, they are pants pissers.

The main attack by Harris was that Trump is a danger, unprepared and a joke to lead the country, yet 54% in the instant CNN poll have confidence in both candidates' ability to run the US, and Trump LEADS by 4 among those who have "a lot of confidence."

Her main attack FAILED! Image
While the main Harris attack (Orange Man Bad) failed miserably as seen in the poll results above, Trump connected Harris to the Biden Mess so effectively that Harris begged him to stop ("you are not running against Biden") and Trump indeed GAINED a net 4 on the economy:

1/ Biden-Harris admitted into the US 5.6 mill undocumented immigrants and millions more are not in the count, yet the @HouseGOP is too scared to dare Dems to shut the government to keep this mess going.

Instead, Republicans blame themselves by saying "we are not shutting down."
2/ If Republicans can't hold the line against something to the Radical Left of Dems from a mere 10 years ago, why run/win?

Where are the supposed principles?

Even IF holding the line here (and on impeachment) "costs" Republicans, well, gotta put Country Over Party. No?
3/ Republicans made immigration a big issue in #NY03 yet lost big time in the Special in part because voters don't see @HouseGOP as the fix to this problem.

Generic Ballot sucks for the GOP now too. Is it because the GOP is too harsh on this crisis? No. It's the opposite!

Below is the first Tweet-share by @RashidaTlaib since the news that Hamas, a government whose lies she spreads on speed dial, executed an American. No other tweet or tweet share as of now; 36 hours after the news broke.
There is also nothing by @RepRashida.

Obviously, it is the opinion of @RashidaTlaib (and/or the opinion of many of her voters) that Hamas had a 'legitimate context' to execute an American last week or else she would easily tweet against it as she does to echo lies by Hamas.
@RepRashida @RashidaTlaib I am not outraged by Tlaib's lack of outrage on the execution of an American.

I am pointing it out so that people understand the poisonously-depraved world view of her "cause."

If she, a US-born & Elected Official is this depraved, imagine the views by those on the lower rungs.

Don't blaming Powell for not cutting soon enough.

Blame Corporate/Regime Media for propping up a dead economy; for hyping bad reports as good which impacted the thinking of Fed officials that with inflation not yet settled, the economy can absorb continued high rates.
When the economy was in recession in 2022 (two net negative quarters of GDP; meaning by the end of the second quarter the economy was smaller than before the first), we were gaslit that this isn't a recession. The term was changed in real time like in 1984 propaganda fashion.
As a result of the propaganda, consumers kept spending and the economy recovered; underpinned by federal spending, not by a "real" economy. Then, part time jobs gains at the place of full time ones were sold as all in the same; feeding the hype of a "good" economy.

Biden certainly had worse public appearances since the debate than this pressser, but stop the propaganda that this was good.

He rambled on.

Confused names & things.

Stopped mid-point confusingly with "anyways."

And he wasn't pushed like Trump was in the @Acosta-era heckling.
Questions were given mostly only to state-aligned media.

Half the questions were about policy; not the key issue at hand.

He was not called to task about the lies of his administration regarding his medical tests.

The bar for this was set so low that this is "good."

Ha.
We are being propagandized:

The questions and behavior was what Putin gets; not Trump or DeSantis.

Yet, he rambled on confusingly. Offered up word salads and repeatedly stopped midpoint with "anyways" because he had no clue what he was saying.

This is "good," per narrative.
