You can't unsee something. They knew what they were doing. They were (professionally) crafting a sight and sound narrative, broadcasting it to the American public with the help of a complicit media and then reinforcing the Big Lie at every opportunity. Including just about every time The Resident opens his mouth and rails on about the MAGA boogeyman and the Death Of Democracy!

The man who ran on uniting the country is doing his best to eradicate any confidence Americans may have in the veracity of the media or of most of the government. Just another step on Dante's pathway, which will end badly.

Haha I love how you gobble up one article for truth but totally dismiss other articles if they don't fit your conclusion. There's probably a bit of truth from all sides of the Jan 6th partisan articles. IF what this one person said they heard another person say to another person is true... actually let me stop there and read the actual transcript.

Had to split the image because of size.

Anyway... it's not as bombastic a case as the Federalist article makes it seem.

Meadows was on a call with the DC Mayor and asked if she had what she needed (for the pro vs anti Trump crowds... no mention of the Capitol FYI). Ornato didn't recall the 10,000 conversation at first, but later said he recalls Meadows telling the DC Mayor that Trump is willing to ask for up to 10,000 guardsmen for the pro vs anti Trump crowds.

This is a little different than the "President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital" claim.

I notice the article says capital instead of Capitol, btw. Subtle, but on purpose.

One is an informal reference to a city, the other one is what actually was attacked.

89th is invested in ignoring the Truth.

Carry on, lad.

Haha no but I read a passing article about it... it boggles my mind that they'd have so many errors on such a public image.

No just trying to be fair and not bite into the sensationalism from either side. I think the truth is pretty self-evident now with what happened. Trump didn't lead the march into the Capitol nor did the FBI plant agents to secretly rile people up. Hindsight is 50/50 but it would be pretty silly to have 10,000 military guys show up for a sore loser temper tantrum rally.

10,000 National Guard troops?
You folks have given up on the "peaceful tourists taking selfies" narrative, right?
Why would one "pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops" just for peaceful tourists taking selfies?

Hang in there 89. Pay no attention to the gossips.

Maybe they were worried about TikTok users compromising national security.

Ah, the usuals show up. Reminds of the two old hecklers on The Muppet Show, yelling from the balcony.

You're telling me the FBI didn't have assets in the crowd?
