Wow, do you guys really believe this was a fully organised and planned insurrection, because if you do then God help America, because someone is piss poor at planning.....It’s a bunch of good ol’ boys showing their anger at the result with very unfortunate results. Some should be put away, but to think that serious people were involved in its planning and operation is crazy...or maybe that’s what they wanted you to think........

"Serious people" is where your complaint falls apart.

No one thinks Mo Brooks or Ali Akbar or Paul Gosar any of the other clowns associated with this insurrection are serious people.

There were elements among a bunch of good ol' boys and girls that had plans. I don't believe the attack and forced entry into the Capitol was completely spontaneous.

I’m not someone who is usually bent towards conspiracy, but I’m also interested to see what the FBI turns up. This will far and away be the most in depth investigation they’ve undertaken since 9/11, and thanks to the stupidity of many involved, they’re going to be working with an absolute mountain of first hand evidence.

By all accounts, the Capitol has been closed to the public since COVID began, so if Republican representatives were actually touring people around the building, they have some questions to answer. Particularly if cell phone data shows people who made their way to certain more secure parts of the Capitol were inside in the days leading up to 1/6.

Also, Trump and Giuliani’s insistence on trying to reach Tommy Tuberville during the coup is odd. He had been a senator for less than a week at that point, so logic would dictate that he wouldn’t normally have been at the top of their contact list.

Or Rudy. We’re talking about a guy who wanted to hold a press conference in the lobby of a luxurious Philadelphia hotel, and accidentally ended up ten miles away in the back parking lot of a landscaping company. Not exactly Oceans Eleven material.

You don’t class ex marines as “serious people?”
Poor effort at trying to downplay the whole thing;Violent attack on democracy or jest summa the boys lettin’off steam?

Like you say I’m going to wait for the FBI report before I come to any conclusions.

And there is quite a large grey area between a) fully organized and planned insurrection and b) just some good old boys that got out of hand.
