WELCOME BACK TO THE TRUMP ERA!!!

Because Columbia would not allow the military transports caring undocumented Columbian immigrants to land, Trump says he's going to put a 25% tariff on goods imported from Columbia. Since the largest thing imported from Columbia is cocaine, not sure how that's going to be imposed upon the Columbian drug lords.

Their largest legal export to the U.S. is coffee and a lot of it. The Columbian president already caved even offering up his own plane to aid in returning them. And they're not "undocumented immigrants" they're illegal aliens with criminal records.

The USAID defunding is the most exciting thing he's done so far. You know it's over the target because the democrats are shitting themselves. Its part of their dark money network.

Those 1500 convicted insurrection rioters being pardoned kept me awake. I think he sent the wrong message on the insurrection discission.

exactly right! An assault on the Capitol, incited by a sitting president, in hopes to disrupt the peaceful transition of power (and they were nearly successful). All because he was a sore loser. Jesus, just admit it.

Then he turns around and pardons the rioters? Total disrespect for the Capitol Police (and their family members).

The fact that Trump won the 2024 election doesn’t imply he was innocent or acquited either. However I accept “him” as our president, and hope the best for our country.

we are making January 6 a national holiday. Patriots day: when the people stood up to the evil that openly and obviously coup'd of our country.

You know, I'm tired of the "Trump caused the January 6th INSURRECTION" bull. For those of you that didn't look at what and when everything happened, let me lay it out for you

1. Trump appeared at a rally at the capital
2. While the rally was going on, others THAT WERE NOT AT THE RALLEY AT ALL breached the temporary fencing, including DOJ PERSONEL
3. 20 MINUTES AFTER THE FENCES WERE BREACHED, Trump told the people AT THE RALLY to march down to the capital PEACEFULLY AND LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD!!!
4. Capital police were actually allowing people into the Capital Building and escorting them through it
5. One person was killed, not a police officer but an UNARMED FORMER AIR FORCE MEMBER THAT WAS SHOT FOR NO REASON BY A CAPITAL POLICE OFFICER!!!!!

Just to be clear, there were some that deserved to be jailed but, after over three years of sitting in jail without due process in many cases, all of these people have had their Constitutional rights violated. At the same time, Trump was set up by the Democrats, starting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi!!!!!! Trump had approved 30,000 NATIONAL GUARDSMEN to increase security TWO DAYS PRIOR!!!!! Nancy Pelosi declined to take them until after the fences were breached. Now that the Republicans are in power, the truth is coming out that there were FBI agents in the crowd, some agitating the crowd into what happened. The whole thing was a Democratic Party ploy to go after Donald Trump, and like everything else they've tried, it backfired on them since the GOP now controls the government.

Bottom line:
whether they (the protesters or rioters) were present at the rally or not, they all traveled to the Capitol because they were encouraged, or influenced, by the President (he knew exactly what he was doing). I watched the whole broadcast “live”, as it happened

Why wouldn’t the president (“Mr. Common Sense”) at least try to call them back once the violence erupted? Hours passed before he would make any response, apparently he watched the whole situation unfold back at the White House (once again, he knew exactly what he was doing).

The Capitol is a highly secured institution, you can’t just casually enter voluntarily. You would have to be a fool to breach security, rush and attack the police. Then expect not to be shot, breaking through the final door leading into the main chamber (where the actual vote is confirmed). I wouldn’t.

However, the Capitol Police were physically attacked and overwhelmed by the rioters, and were ultimately allowed entry.

The Trump administration announced a rally at the White House while Congress was actually counting the Electoral votes, no more no less. You also have to remember that the "live broadcasts" were done by legacy media sources that were there BEFORE anything actually started outside the fences. Seems kind of strange to me that the legacy media sources were embedded in the crowd at locations where people attacked and/or breached the fences BEFORE the instigators actually started getting people to attack the fencing

Why wouldn’t the president (“Mr. Common Sense”) at least try to call them back once the violence erupted? Hours passed before he would make any response, apparently he watched the whole situation unfold back at the White House (once again, he knew exactly what he was doing).

And how would he do that? Once the attendees left the Capital, there wasn't anything that Trump could do. Like everyone else, he had to depend on the Capital Police to control the crowd since Speaker Pelosi initially declined the National Guard and, when she did ask for it, there was at least a two hour delay until they could be deployed, and even then, they had no equipment as it was locked up in storage facilities and the keys were unavailable for a considerable amount of time.

As clearly shown in the videos posted above, the Capital Police allowed many people into the Capital building. I will agree, some did attack the Capital Police officers that were there, though those that were attacked were attacked by small groups that were there specifically to cause trouble and damage and, in some cases were bussed into the city from outside. What must also be remembered is that the only fatality was a lady that wasn't doing any damage or attacking anyone when she was fatally shot by a Capital Police officer. It must also be remembered that there were FBI agents/informants that were intentionally riling up the crowd and inciting the violence that actually did occur.

Well, if Trump had all these nefarious plans why did he offer Pelosi 10,000 National Guardsmen to secure the entire Capitol and the areas around it? That would be like having 200 drunken and crazy high school teenagers at your kegger and then calling the cops on yourself to shut it down. It's one or the other. I've yet to hear Madame Speaker Pelosi say why she declined the addition security with any answer that makes any sense at all.

Personally, I think Pelosi is in big personal health trouble. At the Address this week the video of her licking her lips (dry mouth is a Valium side effect) continually is a very, very strong indicator of a Valium addiction. Having been clean and sober myself since 1985 I have seen countless people (in probably the 1,000 or more AA or NA meetings I've attended) who were enthralled in Valium addictions whose behavior was exactly like that. It doesn't surprise me much given her behavior at one of Trump's State of the Union speeches before Congress in his first term when she made a big show of ripping her copy of his speech up, proving that she's a no class act to begin with. Wrapped a little too tight and I'm sure some doctor was only too happy to script her up with some tranquilizers. Booze and Valium act upon the exact same area's of the brain.
