The debate is over. After a year spent investigating claims of election fraud, the media has determined that any fraud in the 2020 election was too insignificant to have changed the outcome and Joe Biden legitimately won. Now we can get back to our normal lives, or whatever passes for normal now…except that’s fiction. (snip) Coup d’états differ from revolutions in that they’re generally orchestrated by or include people within government who seize power (snip) After two months of being caricatured and called conspiracy nuts or white nationalists, almost a million frustrated Trump voters went to Washington on January 6th to demand Congress investigate the election

The media attempts to ruin or deplatform persons With valid points and the court refusal to take cases has created a runaway situation.
If there is one thing we have learned, it is that the press only wants to report that Biden got the most votes and that is the only consideration when many irregularities were found, standard procedures were not followed, And that there have been numerous irregularities found.
The lack of reporting, non-reporting, lies, dereliction of duty in following standard procedures, and focusing our attention on the latest crisis to get us off task in preventing Future problems with the latest shiny object has not made this go away, so the hiding continues.
Many States have addressed these problems But this is not reported. Only racism, COVID-1984, or transgender issues and the like are worthy of our watchdog press.
They are trying to equate January 6, 2021 with pearl harbor, 911, or some other date to further the notion And push a narrative which we know is untrue

All we have to keep in mind is that democrats dont give a hoot about fair elections or obeying the law. They care about stealing and holding on to power (and by extension, money). Nothing more. Republicans are the same, they just arent as good at it.

The law enforcement agencies are so deep into the mess on Jan 6th that it will make your head spin. Antifa and BLM was everywhere along with the FBI, ATF, etc pretending to be MAGA protesters. This was all created and planned (Pelosi, McConnell and you can through in Pence).

If Brandon legitimately won in 2020, then we are done as a nation.

Wisdom tells us that 1. What we worry about never or rarely happens; and 2. The final say in human affairs comes from God. Excellent article about the lead-up to today. My bets are on today being a big plus for freedom as the Democrats, led by Ted Cruz who wishes he hadn't already, be-egg their faces (or, in some cases, their blackfaces).

FTA: “ We still have an opportunity to reverse this treachery and avert the disaster that naturally follows when the Rule of Man subverts the Rule of Law. But will we seize it before it’s too late?”
We cannot if we have so many anti-Trumpers in Congress and other positions in state and local governments. When the party had the chance to become a cohesive unit, so many abandoned the truth because they liked the 2020 election outcome. The Republican Party has a very big problem and that is most of the leaders hate their base. The loathe the great unwashed masses that make this country work. They pretend otherwise around election time but look at what they do. They cannot stand as a united front to meaningful oppose the democrats. They don’t seem to have any resolve when confronted with this administration’s outrageous lawlessness. Every now and then they let their masks slip as Dan Crenshaw and Ted Cruz have recently. They have no idea what their constituents find important or if they know, they ignore it and focus on their agenda. If we the people were given any consideration by our leaders, things would be very different. The status quo is the Republican Party’s safe space. It is where they make their money and enjoy their bennies and perks and they do not want to give that up even to save the Republic. They also crave the approval of the media who will never give them what they want. The media is their enemy but they are too naive and stupid to realize it. I honestly do not know what is going to happen but as I sit here in my home, I find no comfort in the fact that the salvation of the nation is in the hands of individuals who can’t or won’t recognize the danger that is bearing down upon us. What it comes down to is, are Republicans complacent or complicit and it is not looking good.
The one question that I cannot answer is why would Republicans retreat from the very guy who has the power to win and has proven he can make this country work again? Can’t they see that democrats are literally on the way to destroying the country entirely and yet, they still remain stubbornly opposed to the guy who can do what he promised? Who would choose destruction over restoration? This is what I cannot process.

The dems are calling it an "insurrection" so they can eliminate repubs from office. Here is the text of the 14th ammendment. THIS is why they are using that language.
Fourteenth Amendment
Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The article quotes Joseph Stalin: “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” And that's where we're at, still.
Tons of voter fraud evidence (including video and numerous sworn affidavits) has been pouring in for a year now, but nothing is done. Is the FBI really that corrupt? Is there not one honest FBI agent left who is willing to risk everything for the future of America? Did your oath not mean anything? I think it's time Hannity adjusts his 99% estimate. Maybe just invert it. There are clearly no Patrick Henrys or Nathan Hales in our modern-day FBI.
The FBI has failed us. Traitors all. It's pathetic and indefensible. FJB and the FBI.

Here is a sample of dem “sanity”. Dem do not mind calling for insurrection. Here is a sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgPVkcLBjK8 So it is OK for the dems to call for violence and OK for BLM and Antifa to DO violence but NOT OK for repubs to actually “peacefully” protest. Yeah, sounds fair to me.
Here is what the desm are REALLY doing. Jan. 6 inmate starving to death, attorney says Jan. 6 inmate starving to death, attorney says https://denvergazette.com/news/jan-6-inmate-starving-to-death-attorney-says/article_6838ea25-3558-5303-b2df-98c11fc11c47.html

Often in popular literature there is a mirror of real-life events. I find an answer to 8's 'one question' in the lore of J.K. Rowling's (she who must now be shamed) Harry Potter. The republicans have devolved as equivalent to the slavering sycophant Wormtail. That is, knowing themselves to be intrinsically cowardly, impotent and unworthy, they expect to rise along with the Dark Lord they serve. They fight the Good to advance themselves.

Does anyone seriously believe that sleepy joe got more votes for president than any other presidential candidate in history? Trump in 2020 got nearly 12 million than he did in 2016 and sleepy joe got 16 million more than pant suit clinton. That just isn't possible. Voter fraud was massive, more than just 3 or 4 states.

Do we have to wait until one of the J6 "prisoners" die while in custody to get to the bottom of this charade? With the reports of starvation, lack of medical/cancer treatments, I fear that is where we're headed. Will even that scenario force the truth into the daylight? May God have mercy on us.

All I can suggest at this stage is for everyone to get a copy of Ray Dalio's new book, "The Changing World Order - Why Nations Succeed and Fail" for an in-depth why America is dying. While the analyses and descriptions in his book are pretty depressing, you will become well-informed as to what is happening, why, how, and what to expect next. Interestingly, Dalio holds out hope that the Constitution will eventually survive the societal calamity we are about to endure because as a supposed civil society, we are not even close to hitting bottom yet.

What coup? If BLM had done this it would be a glorious statement of the desire for a free election. The trouble makers there were not Trump supporters but thugs that the left infiltrated in the crowd. As the facts come out as they did in Georgia yesterday, t was a demonstration against a rigged election.

All you see in the "news" nowadays is references to America's democracy. The U.S. is not a democracy aka mob rule. We are a constitutional republic which means our government is bound by the law aka the Constitution. It can be changed, but it is a long arduous process not easily manipulated by the latest lefty ploy. Be nice if we remembered that.

I'm a Trump supporter, will vote for him again if he runs or DeSantis that said the biggest blunder in President Trump's four years was that rally which was too close to the Capitol. The democrats knew in advance and had time to set it up and infiltrate. The rally should have been a hundred miles away or more not walking distance in the shadow of the Capital building. President Trump's decision to counter the coup election steal with the MAGA gathering was ill timed and held in the wrong venue he was on enemy soil and they held the high ground bad move. MAGA

#18 - - Your analysis would be correct - - if Pence had announced in advance that he was delaying certification until charges of fraud could be presented to the Senate. Then a nearby rally would not have been necessary.
But - - Pence is a gutless Pubbie jellyfish - - just as are all the gutless Pubbie jellyfish we've observed since then.
Pence was presented with an opportunity for greatness - - and he slithered away from it - - like the punk coward that he is.

#13 ... excellent points! But you left out the most important piece of information.
According to many sources there were only 153.1 million registered voters in all of America from all parties in 2018 and that number went up about 10% to 168.3 million registered voters in 2020. (That increase in registered voters comes from 16 and 17 year olds becoming eligible, illegals registering, stand-by voters finally getting involved, etc.).
This means that Trump/Biden taken together --- never mind the 3 million wasted votes on third parties --- received more total votes than existed in 2018 (!) ... and about 92.3% of ALL possible votes available in 2020! Statistically almost an impossibility.
We wuz robbed ... pure and simple ... and no one will do anything about it!

2020 was the year of God's revealing, God's revelation of the underbelly of this nation. We could have stumbled on thinking we were the best of all the corrupt nations, but what has been revealed in all aspects of our government belies that. So what does God want us to know out of the 2020 stolen election? We need Him in our lives! Not government. Our nation's motto is "One Nation Under God." Our Pledge of Allegiance says "Under God." How many people have forgotten that? What is wonderful and patriotic and spiritual about this Country is when we go through hard and tough
times, we turn to God. We are in the middle of a Great Awakening now.

Happy Anniversary to our execrable media and to all of the politicians (from both parties) and Deep State operatives who have worked so hard to plan the fake insurrection and perpetuate the lie. Enjoy basking in its memory today. This will not end well for you.

I agree absolutely...there was a coup on November 2020...but it was orchestrated by the swamp and the big business dudes that bought the election...as difficult as this has been...and I grieve for the loss Ashli Babbett family felt...I think WE Americans had to see this farce called the biden regime...it follows a swamp pattern...they put mueller in charge of an investigation that was run by his second in command...and WE saw that mueller was an impaired in his judgement as Mr. Magoo!!

About half the country has believed from the get-go that the 2020 election was won by the Democrats through complex fraud and through all sorts of constitutional irregularities. If everything was on the up and up, the Congress, controlled by the Democrats, in bipartisan commission fashion would be investigating every aspect of that election to get to the truth for the American people. But instead Congress has embarked on a bogus and partisan investigation, by a sub-committee made up of partisan Democrat and two anti-Trump wimpy Republicans, of the January 6th riot and the rioters, most of who have been already arrested for violating criminal laws, while the sub-committee members in typical political fashion have been publicly putting the blame on Trump from the get-go without showing any proof that he had anything to do with the riot. Coincidently the Congress has advised that their final investigative report will be released during the run up to the 2022 election? What could be more political than that?

Yes.
The bragging excerpt from the Time magazine article tells the tale. They admit to this.
"Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers, and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction."
Yes, the election was STOLEN. We are undergoing a twisting and warping of our country into a totalitarian dictatorship. And ALL of the media are in on it. Fox is just the 'pretend conservative' wing of the disinformation campaign. They try to keep a BIT of credibility so that they can continue to lie to us.
I'm done with Fox, too.

The media covered the events as they unfolded that day so they simply need to review their own video to see what all actually happened. We watched everything on FNC and the story-line spun by Biden/Harris and the dem-media does not match the facts! They are attempting to spin history revisionists yarns right before our eyes!

One cavil with the article. The article says that the fraud was to create a 103k ballot margin.
They created MILLIONS of ballots. Who believes that Biden was more popular than Obama... the guy the press and liberals went into orgasmic rhapsodies over? Who believes that Trump, whose vote total rose by 10 million over his first election, was so unpopular as to motivate ten million more people to vote?
NO. It was far bigger than that.
