For the doomers out there, stop embracing the enemy narrative.
Trump initiated with multiple Tweets in the prior months. I remember - that's why I went.
The worst thing we did was trespassing.
The Deep State ILLEGALLY...
- stole an election
- staged a false flag
- murdered several Trump supporters
- hunted down & jailed participants
- refused American citizens access to a fair and speedy trial
- withheld 14,000 hours of video evidence
- formed a investigative committee and gave it unlawful powers
- ignored FBI agents, Antifa, the bomber, and other instigators
Can we please STOP talking about J6 as if it was a mistake or that we should have done something differently?
That's a LIE.
We were there to disrupt a staged revolt. It was successful.
We need to free our men from prison.
STOP backing down and giving ground.
You have to remember what Trump said at Jan. 6th.:
“We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”
He later tweeted: “I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace. I know you’re in pain. I know you’re hurt.”
I believe Trump was at GREAT personal risk when he gave the speech on Jan. 6th. It was likely one of the most dangerous moments for him. There was a reason why it was important for him to say EXACTLY what he said... and then leave quickly.
According to the Insurrection Act, Title 10, §§ 251-255 of the United States Code:
Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.
10 USC § 254
Section 254 requires the President to immediately order the insurgents to disperse and go home.
Section 251 – Federal aid for State governments
Whenever there is an insurrection in any State against its government, the President may, upon the request of its legislature or of its governor if the legislature cannot be convened, call into Federal service such of the militia of the other States, in the number requested by that State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to suppress the insurrection.
Consider the EXACT words used by President Trump. Why would he have quickly gone to the podium, delivered a few minute speech stating exactly what he did... and then leave quickly?
HE said exactly what needed to be said according to the Insurrection Act.
I've never understood this.
The insurrection act would require POTUS to tell the insurgents to disperse. True.
But the group labeled as insurgents is the one the act is targeting.
So he can't look at you, identify you as insurgents, and then turn around and arrest Biden on that basis. Because he wasn't telling Biden to go home, or if he was, it wasn't in a way that was legally significant, because Biden wasn't even there. He didn't tell Biden to disperse. He told his supporters to disperse.
The insurrection act doesn't allow the POTUS to tell one group to go away, and then target a completely different group with insurrection powers. The insurrectionists are the ones identified when POTUS tells them to disperse.
Which means his own supporters. Which means if the insurrection act was signed, the targets were his own supporters. Because that's who he was addressing.
What am I missing? Because if Trump was not talking to his supporters, despite standing in front of them, despite addressing them directly, despite having invited them there, then legally, it wouldn't have been considered a legal address to the "true" insurrectionists. Because nobody could possibly know that at the time.
