Did Trump Try to Overthrow the United States?

Yesterday I was listening to one of the AM shock jocks and this schmuck was still carrying on about how and why we didn’t need to be vaccinated and it occurred to me that if Trump gets any kind of legacy at all, it will probably be that he tried to demonize Anthony response to Covid-19.

Of course, my liberal friends would much prefer that Trump be remembered and maybe even jailed for having tried to overthrow the Government of the United States. But I have now read the complete report of the January 6th Select Committee twice, the two volumes of Cassidy Hutchinson’s ‘bombshell’ testimony once and now a long and very detailed article in The New York Times Magazine (thanks Steve) about how the Committee’s hearings were organized and produced, and I am still waiting to read one single, fu*king word which links Donald Trump directly or even indirectly to the behavior of that bunch who rioted in and around the Capitol on January 6th.

Maybe those jerks who charged into the Capitol with their MAGA flags and wanted to hang Mike Pence really believed they were doing what Trump wanted them to do. And maybe this is why they travelled a thousand, or two thousand or even three thousand miles to get to Washington, D.C.
