TFG on Jan. 6 insurrection: 'These were great people'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday widely praised those who attended the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the insurrection at the Capitol, repeatedly using the word “love” to describe the tone of the event.

Echoing his rhetoric about the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., Trump said, “These were peaceful people, these were great people.”

Speaking on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo” on the Fox News Channel, he also said the rally participants were patriots, that some of them were unjustly arrested and jailed, and that a woman who was shot and killed by law enforcement during the insurrection was a great hero.

The remarks reflected recent efforts by Trump and his supporters to cast themselves as the aggrieved parties from the Jan. 6 riot, which left five people dead and others injured — and, for a brief time, halted the wheels of democracy as President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College was being confirmed by Congress.

Anyone who'll kiss his enormous stinky ass he considers a great person.

2. He had his chance to pardon these people and refused.

I pray that Trump gets his chance to defend these great patriots on the witness chair one day very soon.

3. At some point the inconvenient truth

must be acknowleged and dealt with broadly: TFG is simpy a cipher and excuse for 30-40% of Americans, and who know - perhaps humanity, in general? - to unleash their ids and rain down supremacy and death on the rest (the majority, by the way).

They are the bad cops, the Camp guards, the good Germans, the My Lai and Tulsa and Srebenica massacre-proponents and participants, the KKK, the Pol Pot followers, the Trojan warriors.

They have always been with us - this FORCE and URGE has always been with us. And despite mythologies, we are no more civilized or evolved in the 21st century.

4. So we see where he is going with his propaganda plan.

How should it be countered?

Yet he pretends to not know.
