    As Commodore wants to deflect the events of Jan 6th, 2021 with a tweet calling back to domestic terrorism 50 years ago, let’s take a trip back less than 60 days ago. Here is Commodore again deflecting what occurred on Jan 6th with a tweet about women fighting for their rights. He did not post on Jan 6th. No, his first post in response to the violent insurrection is to conflate a women’s rights protest with an attempted overthrow of our government that resulted in the death of American citizens by people that were fed lies by a vile man and his sycophants with tyrannical fantasies that are anathema to our way of life.

    In quantifying the scale of the FBI’s work, Wray said the number of domestic terrorism investigations has increased from around 1,000 when he became director in 2017 to roughly 1,400 at the end of last year to about 2,000 now. The number of arrests of white supremacists and other racially motivated extremists has almost tripled, he said.

    “The amount of angry, hateful, unspeakable, combative, violent even, rhetoric on social media exceeds what anybody in their worst imagination (thinks) is out there,” Wray said.

    Yep... that's pretty much a smoking gun in that timeline. I'm convinced more than ever that at the highest level .... falling squarely on the shoulders of Charles Flynn, and Christopher Miller, there was an effort to slow walk a response in order to allow the capital to be over run so the certification would be delayed that day for a period of time long enough to accomplish what they wanted... which was to force a vote on the House floor to make Trump president again.

    Also keep in mind how many times we've seen ALL of the Republicans in the House in the chamber at the same time like they were even just to debate the ridiculousness of voting against certifying the election. Steve Scalise, the #2 in the GOP House, was central in his extremist rally like speech he gave on the House floor just minutes before the invasion.

    This wasn't the worlds greatest heist plan ever made, but it obviously was a plan. Charles Flynn and Chris Miller should immediately be investigated, and forced to comply a full testimony of who exactly what telling them to do what behind the scenes. If nobody pays a massive price for this, we'll have lost all the respect in the world as a Democracy.

    Obama had an event at one of their homes when he was launching his run for state senate in Illinois. Is that more or less of a connection than tweeting something about them.

    I'm watching some of the CBS interview with Jacob Chansley (The Shaman) from prison and it's sad. This is a man that has clearly is misguided and has issues. He otherwise would be a relatively innocuous individual but has been misled by Trump's rhetoric and others. It's people like him who have become pawns of a movement who's leadership is more than willing to disown them when convenient.

    Let's get the s ****ing straight. Donald Trump told millions of people who believe that firearms are meant to fight tyranny that a illegal usurper is about to be inaugurated into the Whitehouse due to illegal fake vote counts AND ALL LEGAL RECOURSE HAS BEEN SPENT to reverse the end of democracy in the United States and failed and continued to spam that an illegal usurper is about to enter the White House.

    How would you not expect massive violence from that rhetoric? How? Please tell me. If Donald Trump's bs was actually true, those people would have actually been justified because in their minds democracy in the country just ended.

    Donald Trump is singularly responsible for the violence at the Capitol building. His narcissism not allowing him to accept that he lost is directly responsible for the capitol insurrection and I bet my left nut him still spamming this rhetoric to this day is going to cause further violence.

    Does anybody not think the delay the National Guard deployment over "optics" did not come directly from the White House?

    It's exactly the brain dead political theater manipulation as 'denying' Covid. It's all about how it looks to their base, false patriotism, strength and the illusion of controlling events. They absolutely wanted a message that the real patriots were in the streets representing the 70 million people that voted for Trump, and that the military was behind them. I do not think they intended a real coup de' dat, but just to imply a foreboding sense that huge numbers were ready to rebel. They set this power play up, but as usual, like with Covid, either were not aware of the possible consequences or thought the political gains were worth the risks.

    I have no doubt it was discussed with Trump and some staffer like Miller issued the stand down directive to the chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense, a weaselly sycophant's who would press the order beyond his actual powers.

    Today is the day QAnon thinks will make Trump President again.

    Chatter about an incident have escalated among QAnon supporters in the days leading up to March 4.

    "Cannot wait until the inauguration March 4 first true president in years," one believer wrote on a major QAnon channel on the messaging app Telegram.

    "God has planned all of this for many years. Got to love this president. Not much longer now. March 4 will be our victory dance," another wrote.

    "The real POTUS can't get back into office fast enough. March 4 at the latest... PLEASE GOD!"

    There is no real indication what QAnon supporters are planning for tomorrow. However, some believers online are certain that Trump would arrive at the scene to finally execute the long-awaited "storm"—that is, ordering mass arrests and executions of satanic pedophilies who are part of the "deep state."
