(10,285 posts)The FBI seems likely to actually arrest a good number of criminals this weekend. The rubes will see that blurb on the news, and use it as confirmation that all the rest MUST be true.
This has been part of the MO of this silliness since the beginning...facts that get weaponized in furtherance of deliberate untruths.
It's why they seem not to know the difference between up and down AND insist that all is right with what they believe...its because they can actually SEE gravity working still...its just that they've let themselves be strung up by their ankles, metaphorically speaking, so that what's actually falling down around them APPEARS to be jumping for joy at the prospect of taking their country back.
Have to understand how the magic trick works, before it can be demonstrated to others as mere illusion.

(21,760 posts)every step of the way i see this "tomorrow drumpf is going to whatever..."
and it never happens...
but then the next rumor comes out and they just go right on believing it...........
how do their brains accept CONSTANT evidence that what they believe is wrong, but keep right on believing it is right?

(10,131 posts)ordering the insurgents to disperse before invoking the powers of the insurrection act
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/254
According to WhiteHouse.gov, Trump has not issued such a proclamation:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/
He did request they stand down in a video but that is not a proclamation.
At the moment, the insurgents have dispersed so there is no need to invoke such an act.
He did issue a ceremonial proclamation for the deceased officer.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-honoring-united-states-capitol-police-officers/
Therefore, if it was not apparent that it was BS, those facts ought to help show that the claim he has signed off on the insurrection act is either BS or not legal.

(1,394 posts)Wow, they are more nuts than I even realized, and I knew they were total whack jobs. This is plain out bizarre. This is what you would hear in the deepest of the psycho wards. The rambling of insane people. I'm just amazed. Morons is far too gentle a term for these nut jobs.

(1,394 posts)as saying "If I could time-travel..." but I can't help it. If trump were less than alive, shit like this would probably go away, at least for awhile, till they found a Hawley to latch onto.
