YOU bastards have ALL the videos. If you think they are being cherry picked to suggest less violence than there was, it’s pretty clear the best response to that is to show MORE video to make that point, not to suppress the videos you don’t want people to know exist.

“If there is time to expose through discussion the falsehoods and the fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”
– U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis –

This could not have been the complete surprise to the Capitol police that it is being made out to be.

Oh they were ready alright.
Ready to get people inside.
Ready to make the whole thing get out of hand.
Ready to incite and then escalate the violence.
Ready to cause a whole lotta hurt.

This is sick:

A few random key grafs (RTWT):
‘…In Carlson’s second Capitol videos special on March 7, he will tell the story of U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Tarik Johnson, who said he was left without direction on Jan. 6 by assistant Capitol Police chief Yogananda Pittman.
‘ After taking to the radio to ask for permission to evacuate the Senate, Johnson got no response. Even after the USCP dispatcher repeated Johnson’s call for direction, there was silence from the Command Center.
‘ Johnson forged ahead with the evacuation and went on to direct the evacuation of the House. He said on the radio that he would take any discipline for acting on his own…
‘ “There was no response from anybody at the Command Center,” Johnson told The Epoch Times. “I say even before I initiated evacuation, I say specifically, ‘We’ve got to start thinking about getting the people out before we don’t have a chance to.’
‘ “I heard no response. Then I asked for permission to evacuate. I heard no response.”
‘ Johnson said the Command Center’s silence caused the loss of precious time that might have prevented the shooting death of protester Ashli Babbitt at about 2:45 p.m. on Jan. 6.
‘ Johnson became known to much of America as the Capitol Police lieutenant who wore a bright red Make America Great Again ball cap while he worked with a pair of Oath Keepers to rescue 16 USCP officers trapped in the foyer inside the massive Columbus Doors.
‘ Johnson was suspended by USCP and later accused of rules violations, including conduct unbecoming, for wearing the Trump hat and working with the Oath Keepers on the officer rescue. He said he believes those charges were actually brought because the evacuations and other split-second leadership decisions he made embarrassed Pittman….

“Embarrassed Pittman”?
Um, no.
When you’re orchestrating chaos and mayhem, you don’t want some principled, quick-thinking, committed, professional officer with a conscience like Lt. Johnson to screw up your carefully laid plans by getting people OUT of very place you want to them to be, the very place where you’ve expended a lot of thought and planning into getting them.
And of course you’re not going to give any directions WRT getting those people to safety…so why should you respond to any requests for orders?
Why should you actually reward on officer who helped save fellow officers when what was desired—what was needed—was as many injured, even seriously injured officers, as possible.
Which is obviously why no outside LE or National Guard was “needed”—that is, WANTED.
We’re talking about depraved psychopaths in the Democratic Party from the head on down.
(Just so we know what we’re talking about, there’s no way that Joe Biden is at the head of this monster. And their underlings. And their media/infotech enforcers.)

Moreover, given today’s world–wide travel and communication–the insidious plague of leftism has already infected practically every country in the whole world.

So what does that leave us with as a possible place to go for refuge? The UK, France, Canada, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia, or elsewhere?

Take your pick.

Each one of these countries is dealing with it’s own version of the leftist plague, and as the Hoyt article I linked to again below reminds us, fitting in to a new country and culture is not by any means an easy, or even sometimes safe, thing to do.*

Now, with this one statement of McConnell’s–about how he wants to “associate himself” with the Democrat’s version of January 6th–he has made it unmistakably clear that he is a member of the Capitol Hill “Uniparty,” and not a Republican at all; actually as someone who is really only out for himself, and his personal power.

He obviously couldn’t care less about the constituents or the Constitution he is supposed to serve.

I must say that the advent of Trump and all that has flowed from it has been instrumental in getting any number of people–and especially politicians–to reveal just who they really are, and what their actual goals are.
