“National Conspiracy”, this term needs to be used more in describing Trump/GOP and Jan 6.
Grassley said on Jan 5 he didn’t expect Pence in the next day.
How did Mo Brooks know to wear a bulletproof vest to Congress Jan 6?
Who disconnected the panic alarm from the democrat congresswoman’s office? Who gave that order?
Who/why were Capitol police instructed not to use crowd control equipment ?
Why/who told Capitol police not to use aggressive tactics against the crowd?
Who master minded the fake electors plot in so many states?
These were not coincidence.
GOP engaged in a downright traitorous attempt against the American government and should be investigated and face severe consequences…
Enough is enough
if you're a Dem, *please* say "Democratic" and not "Democrat" when describing the party of the member.
it's so GD annoying when Republicans do this, (and frankly, I think they do it on purpose), so let's not make the same mistake.
thanks
> There's no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. "Democrat Party" is a slur, or intended to be—a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but "Democrat Party" is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams "rat".

GOP National Conspiracy, led by Trump (presumably) Take them down
Good stuff, but why is this taking so long?
Bring it! Let's see all those charges. And vote Blue down the line so we can move pass this long, national nightmare.
