BREAKING: CNN airs a bombshell new tape of Donald Trump talking about his January 6th insurrection and admitting that if he had been allowed to go to the Capitol he would have been "very well received" and that he "wanted" to join them.
But it gets way worse...
In the new interview — which was taped for reporter Jonathan Karl's new book Tired of Winning –– Trump said that he wanted to go join the deadly riot but was not allowed by Secret Service.
"I wanted to go back. I was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself. Secret Service didn’t like that idea too much," said Trump.
"And I could’ve done that," he went on. "And you know what? I would have been very well received."
Of course, if he had been allowed to attend the siege with his frothing mob he would not have attempted to "stop the problem," he would have made it far worse.
It took him hours just to tepidly tell his supporters to go home after they broke through the police barricades. Imagine if he had been there in the chaotic mix personally. He would have been screeching for blood.
Trump would have egged the MAGA maniacs on to even worse acts of violence and treason.
He wishes he was there because he wishes his coup attempt had succeeded.

Fascism (as my book explains) demands that we are in a constant state of war, with men pinned to battle, and women pinned to reproduction in order to maintain the supply of fighters. This is so grim but it’s so predictable.
We’ve got work to do if we want meaningful, expanded disclosure requirements & anti-corruption protections in Michigan government. To truly move Michigan from “worst to first” in ethical state governing policies, we need some key reforms. Here they are:

Social media makes parenting a pain in the ass sometimes. Now I have to go home tonight and make sure my daughter is crystal clear that Osama bin Laden has no point worth considering or sharing and that he was an evil terrorist.
Never thought this would be a necessary conversation.
I saw something today from a woman voter suggesting she had no idea President Biden was pro-choice. Let’s do everyone a favor. Please share this post.
Joe Biden is pro-choice. Joe Biden supports reproductive freedoms.

I don’t usually do this kind of posting but my friend is running for Congress. He’s incredibly qualified, experienced and extremely decent. We need people like him serving us and the country.
When Judge Aileen Cannon decided against moving her May 2024 trial date last week, some cheered while those familiar with classified information cases noted her new motion schedule is virtually incompatible with a May trial (and that she knows it). Trust them. 1/
Last night I signed a bill preventing a government shutdown. It’s an important step but we have more to do. I urge Congress to address our national security and domestic needs — and House Republicans to stop wasting time on extreme bills and honor our bipartisan budget agreement.
IBM says it has "zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination" and has "immediately suspended" all advertising on X following a report that the platform ran IBM ads alongside pro-Nazi material.
@tribelaw Nikki is American embarrassment.
Like Kamala’s mom, her parents are Indian immigrants. But instead of serving the country honorably Nikki has chosen to walk the path of lies and deceit - all for greed and power. And she’s taken all tricks from Trump by spewing lies lies lies.
