VP was rushed off the floor by Secret service.
Senate is on lockdown.
Terrorists have breached barricades and appear to be
oh boy, did nazi any of this happening. it's all such a surprise
Yeah, I remember when shumer egged all his followers to go to the capitol and fight like hell and I saw all those people waving Pelosi 2024 flags. All their fault.
Interesting film here on how Jan 6 went down and what really triggered the invasion of the Capitol building.
J6: A True Timeline
Trump requesting 10k national guard has been debunked more times than seem necessary.
And another result of the ridiculously over the top, heavy handed prosecutions carried out by The DOJ.
Matthew Perna was one of four Jan. 6 prisoners who committed suicide in prison.
Yeah, he never made any official request for 10k National Guard. He asked Chris Miller if he could march with his supporters and suggested having 10k Guard there to keep him safe but got told it was unnecessary. His claims that Pelosi denied him are just his usual old man confused BS.
I don't have to. I already provided verifiable evidence that he requested troops earlier in the thread.
Look it up. It's not hard to find. Or if that's beyond your capabilities let me know and I'll provide links.
Okey dokey.

Okey dokey.
Yeah, that's beyond my capabilities. Please provide reputable links.
Too lazy more like it.
But I'm feeling generous, so here you go bro.

Trump requesting 10k national guard has been debunked more times than seem necessary.
When it was debunked, do you know who exactly debunked it? (you seem to sound like someone of good faith, character, merit and intelligence, so please don't say the "online fact checkers" or ima change my mind bout you, the "fact checkers" and any canned statements they post such as "our independent fact checkers looked into this and similar claims and found them to be false" are part of the mockingburd propagandists, it's already been proven on this an many other "false claims" that ended up being the truth x100.
Transcripts Show President Trump's Directives to Pentagon Leadership to "Keep January 6 Safe" Were Deliberately Ignored
September 20, 2024
WASHINGTON - Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) revealed that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. The transcripts released show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6 peaceful - including using the National Guard - which the Pentagon leaders ignored. This revelation directly contradicts the conclusions drawn in the flawed DoD IG reporton January 6, 2021.
In response to these revelations, Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:
“Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were safe. It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump’s guidance AND misled Congressional Leaders to believe they were doing their job, when they were not. The DoD IG’s report is fundamentally flawed. It does not draw conclusions from the interviews they conducted, but pushes a narrative to keep their hands clean. We have many questions for them, and we will continue to dig until we are satisfied the American people know the truth."

See below for a full breakdown of the Pentagon leaders' choices to ignore President Trump's directives.
Days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, recalls a conversation between the Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, and President Trump:
Milley: “The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protestors here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.’… [POTUS said] I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.' [SecDef] Miller responds by saying, 'Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.'”
On January 5, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on DCNG Commander Major General William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy’s explicit permission on January 6 and 7.
On January 6, 2021, the outer perimeter on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol was breached by rioters at 12:53pm. The DCNG arrived five hours later. Click here to view the timeline.
These transcripts prove President Trump’s senior Pentagon leaders were focused on OPTICS, instead of doing their job, as the Capitol was breached:
Miller: “There was absolutely – there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period.”
Director of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Piatt: “Was optics a concern for us as we prepared to use soldiers downtown in Washington D.C? Absolutely.”
As “optics” concerns were being discussed and Secretary McCarthy claims he was ‘developing a plan’, the DCNG was ready to move, less than 2 miles from the Capitol – awaiting Secretary McCarthy’s authorization.
Walker’s General Counsel, Colonel Earl Matthews: “We were seeing the Congress of the United States being overrun, and the Guard – and the Capitol Police, the MPD, they need help. We had people at the D.C. Armory who are able to help, and they’re not moving. They’re not allowed to move.”
DCNG Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks: “They were ready to go, and they just couldn’t understand why they were still sitting there. Literally sitting on a bus, just waiting to drive to the Capitol and do the best they could do to support Capitol Police.”
Yeah, everything I've seen shows Trump was concerned for his own safety and decided not to march with his supporters when his request for guards was ignored. Then he chose to fuel the fire instead. This is obvious to anyone not suffering from mental illness and I do feel sympathy for you.
Whatever his reason for requesting national guard troops was, the invasion of the Capitol would not have taken place if the troops had been there. So that debunks the claim that Trump wanted the invasion to take place.
Dumb, just dumb.
By that logic, if he pretended he requested the national guard troops, the invasion of the Capitol would have still taken place because the troops were not there. So that proves the claim that Trump wanted the invasion to take place.
