Two years ago, Donald Trump attempted to overthrow the U.S. government. This is a New York Times video released on July 1, 2021 of the coup attempt, its planning, and its aftermath.

It being J6 has me waaaay too emotional to watch the video right now, but I will try to watch it later today.

Thanks for sharing. 😊

@JoyfullyDazed Oh, I can't watch it either. It makes me sick to my stomach. I worked in government and politics for years. I have a deep respect for our Constitution. Respect for the Constitution is what keeps our nation functioning. This was literally plotters smearing feces on the House of the People. No respect for our Republic at all. Traitors, in my book.

@WordsmithFL

I agree with every word.

The current events are also quite disturbing. The mockery being made for the world to witness is a disgrace.

@JoyfullyDazed As a longtime politico, what bothers me is that, for every concession McCarthy makes, it only encourages the dissidents to demand more. He should have told them to f*** off and threatened to find a coalition with conservative Democrats. The dissidents would have realized they were about to be left with nothing. But McCarthy didn't play it that way.

Maybe the Dems wouldn't have helped him either. But that's what I would have done.

@WordsmithFL

I'm not a huge Joe Scarborough fan but he got it right this morning...

Kevin needs to tell them, fuck you, all deals are off the table. I have 200 votes and I'll do this all friggin day. You wanna talk, I'm sitting right here, you wanna pout, stay over there.

Now, I want Hakeem to win, but I also want shit to get done. This is Kevin's chance to man up and put country over himself/party and tell the insurrection kids to grow the fuck up.

@JoyfullyDazed My problem with Joe is he always interrupts and talks over Mika. He's very disrespectful to anyone else talking on the show, but Mika in particular.

@WordsmithFL

Agreed, and I usually turn the channel or shut the tv off, but his bluster this morning had merit. In my opinion.
