First it was no insurrection, at best it was a protest encouraged (by planted actors) to reach riot stage. We all know this. When the FBI was giving testimony to the committee they refused, repeatedly to say if there were FBI agents planted within the group. We now know there were.

The J6 tapes not being made public was a blinding realism that they (committee) wanted no one to see the real happenings of that day. The committee wanted it 'their way or the highway'. Just like the Spanish Inquisition (I paused here to see if they show up, credit Monty Python), the committee was going to crucify anyone that dare question its authority and furthermore make example of anyone anywhere near the Capitol on that day.

And as far as BLM and Antifa go, well I guess they were invisible to the left. Their activity reminded me of a Star Trek episode 'Return of the Archons' where this calm society goes berserk on Festival/Red Hour. Then after a night of all kinds of mayhem, all is forgiven the next day.

After this past 4 years, the one thing I have witnessed for sure, is that our official, elected to represent all of us, yield to their party bosses, swaying in the wind of whichever way their bosses are blowing. Time has come for a total clean house, instituting of Term Limits, and transparency to all stock and other financial deals these representatives make either by them, their family, or their financial teams, while they are in office.

Lastly, we need to end lobbyist, end the ability for past representatives to be in congress chambers while law is being made, and make it law that any member of any house will be subject to the same laws as those imposed upon America.

We attended protests on The Mall in the 1960's.

People describing J6 as an insurrection have no concept of history...They've forgotten the damage done to DC by leftist protests, including a Capitol bombing in the 60's by BHO's buddy, Bill Ayers...

Destruction of "evidence", used and ignored, by the J6 Committee is criminal. Thanks to Biden, they can't be charged - but, hopefully, they'll be questioned.

We now know that the events of 1/6/2021 were stage managed by Nancy Pelosi, who refused to honor President Trump’s request to deploy 10,000 National Guardsmen around the Capitol building and grounds and carried out by the corrupt FBI higher-ups who deployed at least 26 agents provocateurs, dressed in plain clothes and failing to identify themselves while stimulating the protesters to enter the Capitol building. Rather than protecting the building the Capitol Police, reporting to Pelosi, opened the doors and welcomed the protesters as if they were taking a tour.

The only significant violence was perpetrated by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, who murdered unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, a crime for which he has yet to face justice. Byrd, apparently a constant screw-up, has since been promoted.

Pelosi and her FBI and Capitol police co-conspirators should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, as should the goons at the Washington gulag, where the 1/6 political prisoners have apparently been abused for years, which continues today, despite President Trump’s Executive Order freeing then “immediately”!!!

There is no place in America for the kind of KGB/Gestopo behavior exhibited by the Progressive Democrats and their bureaucratic stooges in this horrible incident. They must pay a heavy price or we will run the risk of having similar outrages happen again. Under Obama, Biden, Pelosi and the rest the Democrat Party has morphed into a criminal enterprise that can no longer be tolerated in our historically free nation. While there are still good people who think they are Democrats the party leadership is corrupt to the core, as they exhibit constantly. It is difficult to conceive of a future in which the Democrat Party can participate in our national life as a legitimate political institution. This represents a serious dilemma as the Trump Administration begins its transformational task. CDE

We certainly had an insurrection--when the blob brazenly and blatantly stole the election and put in the decrepit and corrupt Biden as their puppet.

It was Jefferson who said "liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants"

J6 was a missed opportunity.

There's no way on earth that the Democrats will relent on J6. It's an article of faith and deeply embedded in their souls.

To relent entails them doing something they mentally and physically cannot do: say, "We were wrong".

No chance.

I agree with everything except term limits but well stated.

It's going to be an interesting 4 years.

I'm excited!

With the exception of the unfortunate deaths Jan6 should be a historical event to celebrate like the Boston Tea Party. Perhaps to be reenacted quadrennially with the specific objective to make the political elites quake in fear of the population that employs them. To rebel is the founding value of America.

yeahhhh…..

10 minutes in, watching the breathless reporting on it, one question filled my mind - and has never ceased to be my core conviction:

WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS?

Over the ensuing days, it was joined by other relevant questions which, unbelievably, were not being asked:

Who had the opportunity, the responsibility, the means, and (obviously) the presumption of the “threat” of this?

Did that person act on that presumption, take responsibility to prevent it, or use the means put at her disposal?

Why not??

Her admission of being remiss didn’t come out for how long? 6 months? A year? And only when her daughter let it slip.

Did Trump actually foment this?

To what end???

You’ll pardon my inner skeptic kicking in, after seeing Nothing but unending political theater, and a frenzy of hysterical reporting of only anti-Trump stories for 5 years straight, milking even the BS dry of any political capital that could be extracted.

Credulity had simply been exhausted.

So when revelations began to dribble out that things weren’t *Quite* as initially reported,

-(actually, Nothing was)- it came as no surprise. The whole Sturm Und Drang was as overwrought as a B-grade film with bad acting.

So No. You can put me down as a “seen that movie before,” and it was crap the first 500 times, too.

What Would be worth watching would be a documentary of the entire warehouse full of Frauds perpetrated on the citizens of this country and the world, currently rotting on the wholesale shelves because anyone with a brain never bought them.

J6 became the Democrats’ “Reichstag Fire” to justify whatever Enabling Act they sought to conjure up. At least our counterpart to the Reichstag did not burn down.
