The warning signs before the Capitol riot
No one should have been surprised.

Law enforcement agencies have said they had “no intelligence” indicating that a group of Trump supporters would overpower police and enter the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021. But journalists and researchers who study the online far right say that’s not true. In fact, the groups at the heart of the riot had been planning it for days, in plain sight, on social media — and the signs that an event like this was imminent had been coming for years.
Reporters Logan Jaffe (ProPublica) and Robert Evans (Bellingcat) describe the warning signs they observed weeks, months, and even years before a mob of Trump supporters broke into the US Capitol building.

FYI, it wasn't an insurrection, you're feeding into the lie by simply making this video and there's boatloads of evidence as to why it was a peaceful protest and therefore covered by the Constitution.

Twenty years ago, I wrote that one day we would turn into the USSR – the United States Socialist Republic – and people asked me how we get there. Right there yonder.

Keep in mind Hitler had a mob, Stalin was a mobster, Napoleon marched in his troops, I'm scared of third option for the US,
If it were up to me I could have called in the Army and National Guard,

So funny that this video opens with Ray Epps. These days, he's the last thing anybody on the left wants to talk about.
It was fun while it lasted, but the show's over.

The gallows mock up was about 5 ft. tall. Never meant to be functional, just a small scale prop.

Why…? Just Why…??? 😢Why do this when you can start the Second American Civil War Confederates could reemerge. The Government is weaker and weaker everyday and in 2024 on January 6th, 2024. The USA 🇺🇸 could collapse. If this is the end of East Coast rule. Mobilization of the Federal and Mexican plus Rio Grande Joint troops all from Canada, Russia 🇷🇺, and South American, and Japan to establish Sacramento as the New Federal Government Capitol with a Liberal Second NATO pro South American and Mexican plus British Canadian Russian constitution. The Federal Government of The Constitution is at war and the Civil war will come if social media is censored and shut down on December 31st to February 1st, 2024.
I’m sorry it has come to this 😢

It's not my job to monitor this kind of thing. But people who's job it is to ensure the safety of Congress sure should have been aware of this powder keg that was to explode on January 6th. You have all this anger and rhetoric and hyperbole about "they" are coming for you so you have to fight back, then Trump pounding the message that the election was stolen out from under them. They turned down an offer from the National Guard to be there standing by. Would that have made a difference. You better believe it would.
