#1 While Trump was speaking, long before he finished, two travel buses pulled up in front of the capitol despite roads to the capitol being closed. People dressed as Trump supporters exited the two buses. The bus riders then entered the capitol somewhat peacefully.

#2 Smelled like an out of control FBI and Deep State sting operavion from the beginning. Control never has been an FBI strong suite. I could give Waco. Nadal Hasan, and Boston Marathon bombing as possible examples....I say again 'possible.'

#3 Jan 6 is not the "bombshell" the dems were hoping for. It's unlikely COVID hysteria will be rekindled in time for the November mid-terms. Polls show most Americans are skeptical of USA involvement in Ukraine and don't blame Putin for US inflation and shortages.

They will have to throw some sort of hail Mary before November that is unrelated to those items cited above. They are so screwed.

#4 ..you really think they're going to give up the power? They got away with bare naked Central American election last time, why should they care what you or I think is legitimate and what is not.

#5 They leaked the Roe v Wade decision so they could wave that bloody coat hanger. That was pretty obvious but it remains to be seen how effective it was.

#6 Playing exclusively to the extreme fringes of their shrinking base is not going to be an effective strategy.

#7 Its the Chutzpah voter fraud that worries me. I just voted in person in Nevada. Brought in my mail-in ballot (Nevada has gone all-in for mail-in) to a voting site to do in-person voting. There was an elaborate procedure to void my serialized, by name mail-in ballot, and verify my signature, but NOT ask for any form of ID. Then you get a plastic card to insert into a large touch-screen voting machine (not provided with any privacy protection) and select the candidates on the primary ballot. After another fairly tedious review on the screen, you select "print ballot" and the machine whirs a few seconds and tells you to withdraw the card and you are finished. NO PRINTED DOCUMENT appeared. When I asked one of the watching poll workers where the printed ballot was, he explained that "printed" meant it went into the system electronically, not that a ballot was actually printed for deposit by me. The whole process was merely a confabulation to explain I had just voted electronically, and had no proof that the machine correctly mirrored my choices. I admit I'm primed to distrust the system, but this is theater, not secure in-person voting.
Stalin's words came to mind more powerfully than ever. Some faceless IT tech can decide who won if they wish, or get paid to do so.
WE MUST return to voter ID and paper ballot counted manually with bi=partisan poll watchers.
