On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol was sacked in a riot and violent attack against the 117th United States Congress in an attempted coup d’état. With help from his allies, Fox News, right-wing media and some in the Republican Party; Donald J. Trump incited insurrection, sedition, attempted a coup d’etat and caused the sacking of the United States Capitol. Donald J. Trump’s coup attempt involved some House members, some Senate members, and Mike Pence overturning the election certification process with the hope that Trump could steal the election and steal the presidency. If those on the right really wanted to stop the steal, they should have told Trump to stop lying about the election and stop trying to steal the election. Trump sent his supporters to the United States Capitol in hopes that maybe they could scare congress into helping him over turn the election so he could remain the president. We do not have all the facts yet but from what we know so far about the coup attempt is Trump tried to overturn the election and the insurrectionist came prepared to kidnap and kill some in congress, hang Mike Pence and stop the vote count to keep Trump in power and prevent Biden from becoming president. Some on the right including Trump, his family members, his allies, republicans including some in the House and Senate, Fox news and other right-wing media organizations defended and amplified Trump lies that there was massive voter fraud and the election was stolen and they needed to fight for Trump to overturn the election. The election was not stolen and there was no way to overturn the election but Trump, Fox news, right-wing media and others including some in congress convinced some people they could. The questions one has to ask was Trump’s attempt to overturn the election (steal the election) and the attempt to sack the United States Capitol and overthrow the government connected and if so by who?
Donald J. Trump is greatest threat America has ever faced his lies peddle by Fox news, right-wing media Republicans about the election caused millions of Americans to believe the election was stolen because there was mass voter fraud and election fraud. For some those beliefs lead to insurrection, sedition and the sacking of the United States Capitol. The next greatest threats are right-wing media and the Republican Party who promoted and defended his lies that lead to insurrection, sedition and the sacking of the United States Capitol. Trump, Fox News, right-wing media and the Republican Party used the Republican Standard Operating procedures (SOP); downplay, lie, defend the lie, deny, deflect, blame others, attack the facts, alternative facts, conspiracy theories, propaganda, divide, racism and when all else fails use apples to oranges whataboutism in an attempt to steal the election. Trump is the best at the lie, but he did have help from Fox News, right-wing media and the Republican Party to support and defend his lies using the Republican Standard Operating procedures (SOP). Trump has lied to the American over 30,000 times, some people still believe what he says because his allies, some family members, Fox News, right-wing media and the Republican Party supported and defended his lies, and in some case amplifying the lies using the Republican Standard Operating procedures (SOP). If Trump his allies, family members, Fox News, right-wing media and the Republican Party had told the truth and called him out when he told his lies about coronavirus over 300,000 people would still alive. Millions of Americans would not believe there was mass voter fraud and election fraud; millions of Americans would not believe the election was stolen and the insurrection and sacking of the United States Capitol would not have happened.
Trump lied to his supporters about the election he told his supporters there was mass voter fraud, election fraud and the election was stolen some on the right, Fox news, right-wing media, his allies, some of his family members and some in the Republican Party prompted and amplified the lies. Some of his supporters attacked the Capitol of the Untied State of America in belief that the election was stolen and they had to fight to overturn the election. Some people believing the lies planned to kidnap and kill some of the United States congress and Mike Pence. Before the election Donald J. Trump claimed the election would be rigged and he claimed if he lost, it was rigged. Because someone loses and election does not mean it is rigged, only someone attempting to steal an election would say that. Donald J. Trump is the one who tried to rig and steal the election. First he tried to slow down the mail so that democratic votes would not be counted when that failed he tried to get the courts to overthrow the election and give it to him. When the courts refused to help him with his coup attempt Trump tried to get state and local election officials and legislators to change the vote count and overturn the election and the will of the voters in his attempt at a coup d’etat.
When the courts, state and local election officials and legislators refused to help in his coup attempt, he got his allies, Fox News, right-wing media, and House and Senate members to help in him in his coup attempt. Trump his children his allies, some House and Senate members and right-wing media pushed a lie about mass voter fraud, election fraud and a stolen election but only in states that Trump lost. The fact that they pushed lies about mass voter fraud and election fraud only in the states Trump lost, and only about the presidential election and not the other elections for other offices that took place at the same time and same place. Add to that the fact the courts did not find any voter fraud should tell anyone with common sense that it was all lies there was not mass fraud, no election fraud and the election was not stolen. Trump, his children, his allies, Rudy Giuliani, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Fox News, right-wing media and others on the right attempted the greatest suppression of minority votes ever in an attempt to steal an election and commit a coup d’teat.
Some in the House and the Senate tried to help Trump in his coup attempt when they delayed the certification process in a failed attempt to get it kicked back to the states so Republicans could help him steal the election and give the presidency to Trump. Part of that attempt was to get his supporters to force the House and Senate to overrule the votes of the people in the states Trump lost and give Trump the presidency. That attempt lead to the sedition, insurrection and the sacking of the United States Capitol in a failed attempt to overthrow our government and commit a coup d’etate. It was not antifa, BLM or the left the stormed the United States Capitol it was Trump’s supporters incited by, his children, his allies, Rudy Giuliani, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Fox News, right-wing media and others on the right who help in Trump’s attempt to steal the election, overthrow the government and the will of the people.
Americans need to wake up it is not the left we need to fear it is Donald J. Trump, Fox news, right-wing media, Republicans and the rabbit right. Americans need to realize that Trump and some of his supporters in the House and the Senate attempted to overthrow the government by overturning the election. While the House and the Senate delayed the certification other Trump supporters attempted to overthrow the government by force and some of Trump’s supporters wanted to kidnap and kill some House and the Senate members and hang Mike Pence and they came prepared with zip-cuffs, nooses and weapons. Make no mistake about it; it was a coup attempt on multiple levels. There is some evidence to suggest the sacking of the United States Capitol may have been and inside job, time will tell if some or all the actions were coordinated, how many people were involved, who all was involved and how far up is goes.
Make no mistake about it the rabbit right are domestic terrorist and have killed more Americans than terrorist. White supremacists have overthrown a government before and just attempted to overthrow our federal government. Trump, Fox news, right-wing media and white supremacists our a danger to America. Trump, his children, his allies, Rudy Giuliani, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Fox News, right-wing media and others on the right who lied about mass voter fraud, election fraud and a stolen election did it in an attempt to help Trump steal the election. If they really wanted to stop the steal then they would have told Trump and his allies to stop trying to steal the election. Trump, his children, his allies, Rudy Giuliani, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Fox News, right-wing media and others on the right lied to the American people about voter fraud and they lied that they could somehow change the outcome of the election if they went to United States Capitol. Now the big lie is it was antifa who sacked the United States Capitol no it was not antifa it was Trump supporters, so far only Trump supporters have been identified and arrested, that may change there could be a few, but the majority were Trump supporters and the rabbit right. The voter fraud claim was a lie and it is just plain wrong that Trump and the right convinced people that the election was stolen, it was not stolen no matter how many times they say was. We need to call out those who are attempting to divide and destroy our country with lies and alternative facts before it is too late and we will lose our democratic republic the next time they may succeed in the overthrow of our country.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — New transcripts of closed-door testimony to the Jan. 6 House committee show Donald Trump and his allies had a direct hand in the Nevada Republican Party’s scheme to send a phony electoral certificate to Congress in 2020 in a last-ditch attempt to keep the former president in power. The documents made public Wednesday evening included interviews with state party leader Michael McDonald and Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid in February. Both men served as fake electors in Carson City on Dec. 14, 2020.
At a surprise January 6 hearing on Tuesday, a former White House aide linked Trump to the whole of the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.

Former President Donald Trump wanted to march to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, at the head of an armed and dangerous crowd of insurrectionists that he had urged to “fight like hell” to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. When the Secret Service told the president that was impossible, for security reasons, Trump demanded that he be driven to the Capitol, which was already under attack by his violent supporters, and became “irate” when Secret Service personnel prevented him from doing so.

The events that followed the 2020 presidential election were unprecedented in U.S. history. Never before had an incumbent president in the United States lost the popular vote by more than 7 million and watched his opponent win 306 electoral votes only to falsely claim that the election was stolen from him and make an unsuccessful coup attempt. And never before had an insurrectionist mob violently attacked and invaded the U.S. Capitol Building in the hope of stopping the peaceful transition of presidential power. But all of those things happened after now-President Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald Trump in 2020, and one of Trump’s closest allies during his unsuccessful coup attempt was then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Journalist Michael Kranish, in an article published by the Washington Post on May 9, takes an in-depth look at the prominent role Meadows played in that coup attempt. “Instead of echoing the (Trump) Administration’s own Justice Department to tell Trump that his claims of a stolen election were wrong,” Kranish explains, “Meadows went to extraordinary lengths to push Trump’s false assertions — particularly during a crucial three-week period starting with his trip to Atlanta and culminating in the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021.”
New evidence reveals how Trump participated in directly demanding legislators help steal the 2020 election. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber explains how this evidence links Trump more directly to his aide Peter Navarro’s confession on “The Beat” detailing a plan to use the Vice President’s power to stop the transition of power.
Trump admits his intention to overthrow government in a coup

WASHINGTON—Seizing and impounding voting machines in key swing states. Strong-arming the Vice President to overturn the 2020 election by throwing out electoral votes. Sending false electoral vote certificates to Congress. Witness tampering. And now calling for nationwide repeats of Jan. 6 insurrections. And on top of all of that Donald Trump declares that if he wins the Oval Office again in 2024 he’ll pardon the invaders and insurrectionists who smashed into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. There appears to be no limit to the lengths Donald Trump would go to retain the presidency he lost in the November 2020 election.
Donald Trump's hands are all over the coup attempt

(CNN) With each passing day, it seems, new revelations come to light that suggest how intimately involved then-President Donald Trump and his advisers were in the coup attempt leading up to the events of January 6, 2021. The latest bombshell came Thursday night when CNN reported that Trump lawyer and confidant Rudy Giuliani, as well as other Trump campaign aides, spearheaded the efforts to gather alternate electors in seven swing states in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. "Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives."
The Trump coup attempt is ongoing
Trump, we now know, paged through federal departments and agencies looking for willing insurrectionists. With every revelation about Trump’s extensive efforts to overturn the election, the flaccid response of Republicans makes the next coup more thinkable.

Some look back on the events following Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss and think we dodged a bullet: There was a coup attempt, and thankfully it failed. Others believe that the whole thing has been overblown. Even as evidence piles up that the coup was far more extensive than siccing a mob on the Capitol, those two takes seem unshaken. There is another way to look at it: The coup is ongoing. With every new revelation about how extensive Trump’s efforts to overturn the election were — and they are arriving on an almost daily basis — the flaccid response of Republicans makes the next coup that much more thinkable.

Two weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection , Donald Trump walked out of the White House and Joe Biden became the 46th president of the United States. Trump had attempted to use the full power of the presidency and his position as the leader of the Republican Party to stay in power, but he failed. Democracy succeeded. Joe Biden became president, on schedule and without incident, at noon on Jan. 20, 2021. But this was a close call. Attempts by Trump and his followers to overturn the results of the 2020 election -- multi-dimensional efforts of which the assault on the Capitol building was only one element -- came dangerously close to succeeding. Consider, for example, Donald Trump’s demand that Vice President Mike Pence act to nullify Biden’s victory on Jan. 6. Trump wanted Pence to use his power as the presiding officer during the joint session of Congress that day to toss out Biden’s electoral votes in states Trump had contested. On its face, the idea of giving one person the power to overturn the votes of millions of Americans was absurd. And outside of a few fringe lawyers advising Trump, constitutional scholars agreed that Pence had no authority to do what Trump was demanding.

Republican members of Congress appear to have conspired with former President Donald Trump 's administration in efforts to prevent the certification of President Joe Biden 's 2020 election victory, according to text messages revealed by the House Select Committee investigating January 6. more...
Every day brings more information that suggests the attack on our capital may have been an inside job. Incited by Trump some may have been caught up in the monument others appear to have been attempting a coup by overturning the election and killing some in congress and hanging Mike Pence to keep Donald J. Trump as president. Trump‘s coup attempt assisted by some Republicans in the House and Senate was to overturn the election so he could remain president that coup attempt may or may not be connected to the coup attempt that sacked the United States Capitol only time will tell. As more and more information comes out you have to wonder was it an inside job, who was involved, how far up it goes, were the two coup attempts connected and were any foreign governments involved.
Ex-president, whose Senate trial will start in two weeks, reportedly planned to oust acting attorney general in bid to overturn election.

Donald Trump was at his Florida resort on Saturday, beginning post-presidency life while Joe Biden settled into the White House. But in Washington and beyond, the chaos of the 45th president’s final days in office continued to throw out damaging aftershocks. In yet another earth-shaking report, the New York Times said Trump plotted with an official at the Department of Justice to fire the acting attorney general, then force Georgia Republicans to overturn his defeat in that state. Former acting US defense secretary Christopher Miller, meanwhile, made an extraordinary admission, telling Vanity Fair that when he took the job in November, he had three goals: “No military coup, no major war and no troops in the street.” The former special forces officer added: “The ‘no troops in the street’ thing changed dramatically about 14.30 [on 6 January]. So that one’s off [the list].” That was the day a mob incited by Trump smashed its way into the US Capitol, in some cases allegedly looking for lawmakers to kidnap or kill. More than 100 arrests have been made over the riot, which also saw Trump impeached a second time.
