Still trying to bully ... I want no violence
On impeachment, Trump said it’s “a really terrible thing that they’re doing.”
“To continue on this path, I think it’s causing tremendous danger to our country, and it’s causing tremendous anger," he said. "I want no violence

WASHINGTON (AP) - With the House set to impeach, President Donald Trump is blaming Democratic congressional foes for "tremendous anger" in the country and last week's deadly attack on the Capitol...

Barricades were set several blocks from the Capitol building. Law enforcement and national guard officials checked badges for anyone to enter the perimeter even by foot.

If I'm getting all this right, the shaman, shown here horned and wrapped in a pelt while carrying a spear in the Captol Rotunda, talked to the FBI, says he's following Trump’s orders. What's more, his mother is complaining he's not getting his vegan diet in jail.
In a text message, Angeli told The Arizona Republic he was grateful the newspaper's story about his part in the Capitol mob correctly identified him as being a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory and not a member of the left-wing Antifa movement, as had been rumored online.

He called in on a news show that I was listening to. He ended up being hung up on. I don't think it's anyone's fault if he, or any crazy, chooses to follow them. Left or right, they can't control who follows them. This guy ain't right in the head.

I see he's getting the correct diet now in jail. His lawyer Watkins:
Chansley, 33, of Phoenix, “loved” Trump and “felt like he was answering the call of our president,” Watkins said. He was in Washington “at the invitation of our president, who was going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue with him,” he added. Trump told his supporters at the pre-riot rally that he would accompany them to the Capitol, but went back to the White House to watch the insurrection on TV instead.
Watkins acknowledged it was a long-shot attempt at clearing his client’s name.
But “with Trump you never know,” he added. “Who knows next time he may be represented by the Shaman rather than Rudy Giuliani?”

Like I said, he's not right in the head. I'm quite sure, without doubt, Trump didn't send out invitations. :D
Trump wasn't even the one that started this march on DC. Just because all of the media is trying their best to make everyone believe that he did and responsible for the idiots, it just doesn't make it so. And other then the ones up front breaking windows and such, it was an extremely peaceful protest. You can see from all the cameras/videos that many patriots were yelling out 'it's antifa', 'stop them it's antifa'. But so many were suckered in, especially when the cops opened the door and let them all in.
We all know that it was antifa. And even though they dressed up like Trump supporting patriots, there were obvious signs and evidence of who they really were. Can we all say provocateurs.
Besides, even if it was only non-antifa people going crazy inside, which it was not, we should not blame a million plus good law abiding peaceful people for the crimes of a few idiots.
Also, when ya have over a million people, most all with cameras, most all filming, the truth is easy to find. Well, it is until YouTube censors all of them, and they will eventually.

Amazing how you manage to delude yourself each time!

"The American people deserve transparency about the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2020. The DoD IG Report will be but one of many efforts to provide that transparency and the Department will do everything it can to ensure that review is fulsome, thorough, and holds parties to account. We are proud of the efforts of DoD personnel to secure the Capitol on January 6th when called upon on and throughout the Presidential Inaugural events next week."
