Almost 1,000 of the people who , at his urging , went to the nation’s Capitol and stormed it have been arrested.
Some are serving felony jail sentences…
Some for several years….
Donald Trump IS coming up for trail for trying to change the electoral vote that was certified that day on Jan. 6, 2021…
Increasingly?
The ex-President IS conveying that he supports their efforts from that day and IF he gets back in office?
He WILL absolve them of their misdeeds…
Most American on the other hand?
See those arrested as criminal’s…
For Trump?
‘His’…’Shock Troops”?
Trump then kicked off the rally with a promise to help the defendants — a group that includes violent offenders he has glorified as “patriots” and “hostages” and pledged to pardon if he returns to power. “We’re going to be working on that the first day we get into office,” Trump said at the rally this month in Dayton, Ohio.
That vow is part of a broader renewed emphasis by Trump to align himself with Jan. 6 rioters, as he intensifies his use of dark, graphic and at times violent language as he has closed in on and secured the Republican nomination. Until November, he called the Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom have been detained by court order or are serving sentences, “political prisoners” before introducing the term “hostages,” according to a Washington Post analysis of his speeches this campaign cycle.
The analysis also showed an uptick in his references to Jan. 6 defendants, as well as the word “criminals,” which Trump has used to describe prosecutors, political opponents, the press and undocumented immigrants….
….
In December, Trump said he’d govern as a “dictator” on “Day One” to “close the border” and drill for oil — a remark he went on to repeat, later claiming he was making it in jest. In a March social media post, he added to those two promised first acts that he would also “Free the January 6 Hostages.”…
…
In January, Trump warned of “bedlam” if he lost, and declined to rule out violence by his supporters. In March, he threatened a “bloodbath” after he spoke about promising to enact tariffs. (Allies and his campaign argued he was speaking figuratively about the economy.)…
…
Since January, Trump has made reference to Jan. 6 “hostages” more frequently at his rallies, mentioning the term so far at every rally this month, the Post analysis showed. He has advanced other arguments that have also alarmed experts and critics….
…
A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll in December found that 58 percent of Americans said protesters entering the U.S. Capitol threatened democracy, compared to 12 percent who said they defended democracy. Fifty percent categorized the protesters as “mostly violent,” while 28 percent said they were “equally peaceful and violent” and another 21 percent said they were “mostly peaceful.” The poll also found that 72 percent of Americans say punishments of people who broke into the U.S. Capitol have been fair, though that declined from 78 percent in 2021. (A smaller majority of Republicans said the punishments were fair.)…
Not just Trump….
The vast majority of Republicans agree with him and ,like you once did, believe that Jan.6 has faded in the “ rear view mirror.”
You’ve apparently backed away from that view while that view is now prevalent and growing in the Republican Party .
Trump has elevated the Jan. 6 story as the linked piece points out….
Over 1,000 of HIS idiots have faced the ‘music’….
Otherwise?
Jan.6 is only heard in realtion to the on hold Jack Smith DC criminal case…
I KEEP polinting out the solid ‘NEVER Trump’ votes in every weeks GOP Primaries….
So you agree that Jan. 6 is in the “ rear view mirror?”
I gave you too much credit.
Good to see you agreeing with the vast majority of Republicans!
For most Americans Yes….
I understand Keith will continue to repeat his point a million times…..
But i stand by my view
And Republicans, absent Trump DEFINITELY want that days actions to be forgotten
The stupidity of what James just wrote is actually why he doesn’t have more folks participating on his blog.
Besides the hundreds he claims check in here daily.
First, January 6th was an attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected government.
Something that hasn’t happened for over a 150 years.
Second, James either doesn’t understand this or he simply agrees with Republicans that “it’s no big deal.!”
Finally, in his ignorant way, James cannot admit his ridiculous uneducated statement was wrong so he resorts to his old “I stand by my statement.”
Another way of saying I’m stupid and proud of it. He
Keith?
Ur out there
Ask ten people about Jan. 6 2021 and let us know how many feel ?😌
Or Remember?
Ten people?
The ten people you know James?
Now I don’t know if it’s the stubborn or the stupidity.
Take that Civics class!
Trump is determined to make January 6th just your everyday protest, not the attempted insurrection that it obviously was.
And you were there with him from the get go!
His reply to you was more in the nature of a petulant child…
I mean he’s the one that posted the headline”Donald Trump Has His. Jan 6 Protestors Back.”
Presumably he thinks Jan 6 was an event.If not?Why the post?
Then he goes on to say,”Most Americans see those arrested as criminals…”
Really?Because so frustrated at his well know idiocy being tossed back in his face, he concludes that no one really cares by challenging you to “ ask ten people.” “ Or remember “seemingly contradicting his earlier assertion that “ most Americans…”( I mean if they don’t remember?)
Apparently “ most Americans “ don’t include his “ ten people.”
Just more clown foolery that we are used to hear from our witless moderator whose comments often make no sense at all and are,in many cases, just Dumb,plain old Dumb!
I agree with you Jack. A petulant child is loath to admit they are wrong and our friend James has been wrong about so many things.
Exhibit one: Donald Trump is fading from importance. So much so that he is the absolute ruler of the Republican Party.
10 people……
Let me know the results
Most American’s can’t name their two US Senators
We HERE might remember political stuff
Most others do NOT….
That Trump is leading Biden in places across the country with substantial educated and informed people tells u something about their memories.
U two can zing me all u want
Do matter or bother me
Just proves that u disagree with Reality…..
Biden AND Democrats are about to spend hundreds of MILLIONS to REMIND people about something they HAVE FORGOTTEN……
Don’t you ever tire of embarrassing yourself?
Sure there are uninformed people out there,millions of them.
Those are generally people who don’t vote and are for the most part civically unengaged.
We are not talking about them and app neither of you!
Your remark was that,”Most Americans…see those arrested as criminals.”Get it James ,Most Americans.
Once again hoisted by your own petard and left looking like a fool.
Thank You for answering my 10 people question and multiplying it……..
Again a petulant child trying to defend himself by using the old “thank you for agreeing with me” bullshit response.
That went out in grammar school!
The original statement from James was “January 6th is in the rear view mirror.” A statement he doubled down on.
Of course like so many other statements from James that was wrong.
He can’t admit it and as a result continues to embarrass himself.
