...watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

 


Ooh, it's getting unbelievable


Do they think we don't remember Jan 6th?

‘Stephen Miller, a top policy adviser, said there was an “organized campaign that led to this assassination.”  NO.  This is a lie.

Miller’s comments came during a conversation with Vice President JD Vance, who was guest-hosting Kirk’s talk show from his ceremonial office in the White House on Monday.

Miller said he was feeling “focused, righteous anger,” and “we are going to channel all of the anger” as they work to “uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks” by using “every resource we have.”

Vance blamed “crazies on the far left” for saying the White House would “go after constitutionally protected speech.” Instead, he said, “We’re going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence.”

Asked for examples, the White House pointed to demonstrations where police officers and federal agents have been injured…’  from here


Aftermath of January 6, 2021, sourced from wikipedia:

The second impeachment of Donald Trump on January 13, charged with incitement of insurrection

Over 890 people were found guilty of federal crimes

One person was killed, 5 people died and over a hundred police officers were injured

Shortly after 2:00 p.m., several rioters attempted to breach a door on the West Front of the Capitol. They dragged three D.C. Metro police officers out of formation and down a set of stairs, trapped them in a crowd, and assaulted them with improvised weapons (including hockey sticks, crutches, flags, poles, sticks, and stolen police shields) as the mob chanted "police stand down!" and "USA!".[80] At least one of the officers was also stomped.[81]

Some rioters beat officers on the head with lead pipes,[82] and others used chemical irritants, stun guns, fists, sticks, poles and clubs against the police. Some trampled and stampeded police, pushed them down stairs or against statues or shone laser pointers into their eyes. One D.C. Metro officer was hit six times with a stun gun, was beaten with a flagpole, suffered a mild heart attack, and lost a fingertip.[79][83] Three officers were hit on their heads by a fire extinguisher allegedly thrown by a retired firefighter.[84][85][86]


...After the Capitol siege, the Defense Department intensified efforts to root out far-right extremism among military personnel.[164] ...

...The role of social media in the attack created pressure for platforms to strengthen enforcement of moderation policies prohibiting extremist content to prevent further violence. The response of social media platforms renewed accusations by some conservatives that their policies and enforcement promote an implicit ideological bias by limiting the expression of conservative political and social viewpoints even through controversial or false statements. ...

...Twitter assessed that two of Trump's tweets on January 8 could be mobilized by different audiences to incite violence and replicate the criminal acts perpetrated at the Capitol on January 6 and suspended Trump's main account first for twelve hours and then permanently.[202] Following this, Trump attempted to access alternate accounts, such as the official President of the United States (@POTUS) account, on the platform to continue tweeting and to bemoan the suspension of his account. Still, all tweets were subsequently deleted, and the accounts were either suspended or banned.[203] Furthermore, Trump was banned from other major social media outlets including Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat.[204] In the days following the riots, multiple social media companies began suspending or permanently banning several accounts and users who spread or aided the conspiracy theories that led to the attack. In total, Twitter banned more than seventy thousand QAnon-related accounts.[205]...

...The New York Times reported in March 2021 that the incident had caused groups like Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and the Groyper Army to splinter amid disagreements on whether the attack had gone too far or was a success, and doubts about the leadership of their organizations, reactivating concerns of increasing numbers of lone wolf actors who would be more difficult to monitor and might take more extreme actions.[231]...

They mortally wounded another officer with a blunt weapon and body-slammed a third over a railing into the crowd. 'Hang Mike Pence!' the insurrectionists chanted as they pressed inside, beating police with pipes. They demanded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's whereabouts, too. They hunted any and all lawmakers: 'Where are they?' Outside, makeshift gallows stood, complete with sturdy wooden steps and the noose. Guns and pipe bombs had been stashed in the vicinity. ... The mob got stirring encouragement from Trump and more explicit marching orders from the president's men. 'Fight like hell,' Trump exhorted his partisans at the staging rally. 'Let's have trial by combat,' implored his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, whose attempt to throw out election results in trial by courtroom failed. It's time to 'start taking down names and kicking ass', said Republican Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama. Criminals pardoned by Trump, among them Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, came forward at rallies on the eve of the attack to tell the crowds they were fighting a battle between good and evil

Donald Trump is OK with violence, as long as it’s done in his name,” said Harry Dunn, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer who sustained injuries during the attack. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in turn, argued that the Los Angeles protests were “different” than Jan. 6 because “[t]hese are people hurting people out in Los Angeles right now.” Of course, Jan. 6 involved “people hurting people” too—an hours-long battle, in which hundreds were charged with assaulting officers, and more than 140 officers were injured.
