A lot of folks are comparing the shooting yesterday to the Boston Massacre.
During the Boston Massacre, the 300+ protestors were throwing ice and chanting "fire" (ie, "shoot us") at the 9 British soldiers. The British officer in charge, Captain Thomas Preston, was trying to deescalate the situation by dispersing the crowd without firing. Obviously, he failed.
All of the soldiers (and Captain Preston) were swiftly arrested the next morning. Despite their quick prosecution, Captain Preston was terrified that he would be lynched by a mob if the jail was stormed, as you can see from a letter of his that I photographed in the British archives below.
The same thing happened to Captain John Porteous, an officer jailed following a shooting in Scotland in 1736. Porteous, despite receiving a stay of execution, was lynched by a Scottish mob.
So, if according to the new government website, and according to @realDonaldTrump and the MAGA cult, Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection — can any MAGA member answer these questions:
1) Why would Nancy Pelosi orchestrate an insurrection to STOP the certification of an election HER candidate won?
2) If Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection, then why did @realDonaldTrump pardon all of "Pelosi's insurrectionists?"
3) If Nancy Pelosi was behind January 6th, then why did Trump wait for over 3 hours without stopping "Pelosi's insurrection?"
He would have called in the DC National Guard.
4) If Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection, then why did Trump go on live TV and tell "Pelosi's insurrectionists" - "We love you, you’re very special?"
5) If Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection, then why did Trump call "Pelosi's insurrectionists" patriots?
6) If Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection, then why did @realDonaldTrump call "Pelosi's insurrection" a "Day of Love?"
7) If Nancy Pelosi was behind the January 6th insurrection, why would her own "insurrectionists" be looking to murder her?
You MAGA idiots are such easy fucking marks for Donald Trump's LIES and BULLSHIT bcos you lack even the most basic of critical thinking skills.
Donald Trump makes fools of you all.
The Mariners let Humpy win again, an egregious and insulting indulgence that almost certainly directly led to yesterday’s loss. Only ritualistically sacrificing him can balance the humors and guarantee a victory this evening.
Humpy must die.
