This is odd....
After Donald Trump blamed Nancy Pelosi for the insurrection, the MAGA cult have been trying to justify Trump's involvement and keep his "Nancy Pelosi did it" LIE alive.
But, not one single MAGA idiot has been able to answer this question:
Why would Nancy Pelosi orchestrate an insurrection to STOP the certification of an election HER candidate won?
Oh, and to dispel all the MAGA cults lies and conspiracy theories, let's cover some facts.
1) Nancy Pelosi is not in charge of the DC National Guard. Normally, the state National Guard is controlled by the States Governor.
But in Washington DC, the National Guard is controlled by the President - who in this case, was Donald Trump.
2) Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sung stated in an interview, that TWO DAYS BEFORE January 6th, he was DENIED National Guard assistance by then TRUMP acting Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller. IT'S ON VIDEO FOLKS.
3) Before the cultists pull that, "that's not what Sung told Tucker Carlson," bullshit, you need to watch or re-watch that interview. Steven Sung never once blamed Nancy Pelosi - despite Tucker trying to steer him into doing so.
4) Nancy Pelosi was not, and is not, in charge of Capitol security - - Per 2 U.S. Code § 1901a and 2 U.S. Code § 1961
The 4-member Capitol Police Board is in charge of Capitol security and has been since 1873.
This is not debatable... IT IS THE LAW.
5) Nancy Pelosi doesn't have the authority to override the President of the United States.
If Donald Trump - who is charge of the DC National Guard - had ordered troops to the U.S Capitol — they would have been there.
6) Trump's own Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller admitted there was NO ORDER given by Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops.
IT'S ON AUDIO TAPE FOLKS.
General Mark Milley, Trump's own Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and principal military advisor, testified: "You’re the commander in chief. You’ve got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America. And there’s nothing? No call? Nothing? Zero?"
7) Mayor Muriel Bowser, AFTER she previously stated the Capitol Police could handle security, did, afterall, request more National Guard assistance, and it was not given.
I do believe I covered everything.
Either you believe that puppy-murdering Dr. Fauci helped build a fake harmless virus that the world overreacted to and shut down all the world's businesses so that all the Democrats could get mail-in voting set up so that they could steal the election and then stage an insurrection to make Trump look bad and then had five different court systems from judge to jury stacked so that they could convict Trump of 34 felonies and find him guilty in 3 different civil judgements and also tried to run an FBI assassination of him by raiding his house for documents that were ok for him to have because of the Presidential Records act and he declassified them with his mind so it really shouldn't matter and it's OK that he tried to install fake electors and incite a riot because the Democrats stole the election and besides the President has absolute immunity...
...OR...
...You believe that Donald Trump is guilty.
At what point does Occam's Razor kick in?
Mookie Betts now leads the NL in WAR at 6.2. Ronald Acuña is 2nd at 6.1. Betts has covered 3 completely different positions. Their wRC+ are nearly identical. Betts has more HRs and RBIs. Betts is the MVP.
This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
I'm tired of Republicans saying things like "If you want to ban AR-15's then why don't we ban cars since cars kill more people." Here's why this argument actually proves why we need more Gun Laws:
- Cars require a registration.
- Drivers need a license to use them.
- Drivers require insurance in case their car kills/injures someone.
- There are 100's of safety restrictions on cars before they are road-ready.
- A car user needs to pass a test to drive it.
- They also need to take a course in most states.
- There are dozens of restrictions based on age, health, etc.
- You can lose your right to drive a car if you don't use it properly.
- Cars are illegal to use when drunk.
