Pigeon Gambit, for those unfamiliar, is expressed by the (source?) quote that goes roughly

Arguing with a fool is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, shit all over the board, and strut around like it won.

The death cult will not like this much. It is time to drive them into the sea and be done with them.

Shoulda had the Guard there the entire time


https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/21/politics/january-6-hearing-day-8-takeaways/index.html

You do know who has control over the DC National Guard, right?

The DOD is supporting the Justice Department, which is the lead federal agency in this situation. They relied on estimates of the Metropolitan Police and Capitol Hill Police. Those organizations, which had experience with pro Trump groups in November and December, believed the request they made for personnel was adequate.

 We dont do domestic  intelligence collection, Hoffman said.  We rely on Capitol Police and federal law enforcement to provide an assessment of the situation. And based on that assessment that they had, they believed they had sufficient personnel and did not make a request.

You just will not say who was in control of the National Guard, will you?

Trump DoD
Trump DOJ

 


shhhh.......

It was bungled.

Some of the "testifying" by committee members included how all Trump had to do was whistle and "his charges" would have simply stood down, left the Capitol.

Please.

They (the esteemed committee) are desperate to prove (as the ninnies on THE VIEW have already lied about) that Trump orchestrated - was behind - all the groups that pre-planned the "invasion".  THIS gets Trump arrested and tried, not just out of the 2024 race.

Testifying by some of the invaders of the Capital Building said that had Trump told them to leave they would have left.

None has said they would not have.

"That Secret Service members were willing to purge texts that they knew by law they had to preserve suggests that they calculated it would be better to face the fallout for deleting the texts than the fallout from whatever was in those texts."

Please.

Did you listen to the video, Kid?

The folks inside the Capital heard Trump's call to leave. They repeated: "He wants us to leave."

Or as one person put it, "We have our orders."

PLEASE, indeed.

Unable to answer a simple question after your fatuous comment about whether Trump's instruction to leave would have helped.

So you. So very you.
