Millions of Americans will remember Wednesday as the first time in decades that the US Capitol building was successfully stormed and overrun – though, to be fair, when the British sacked Washington during the War of 1812, they didn’t stop to take selfies with the Capitol Police.
At any rate, the flashes of the chaotic crowd breaking windows and scuffling with police, accompanied by the news that 4 people died during the chaos (1 woman was shot by a Capitol Police officer, while 3 others died during unspecified “medical emergencies”, according to media reports) was enough to convince half the US that a low-key “coup attempt” had just taken place. Though the fact that lawmakers returned to the floor a few hours later to finish up the certification vote sort of undercuts that notion.
Citing Wednesday’s unrest as justification, GOP lawmakers largely dropped their objections and allowed the Electoral College tally to be certified, cementing his win.
And as several staff members reportedly threatened to quit in protest, President Trump published a statement via spokesman Dan Scavino promising an “orderly transition” on Jan. 20. While Bloomberg described the statement as a “concession”, Trump continued to insist that he still “totally disagrees” with the outcome of the election.
“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” Trump said. “I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”
Matt Pottinger, a deputy natsec advisor and an avowed China hawk, is reportedly among the staffers who resigned in protest. Pottinger was recently in the news for going public with new, credible allegations that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a Chinese lab.
BREAKING: Deputy nat sec adviser Matt Pottinger resigned Wednesday afternoon. Pottinger among WH officials dismayed by protesters' attack and Trump's role in inciting violence. Pottinger had intended to resign election day, regardless of outcome, but stayed at O'Brien's request.

Meanwhile, the president’s twitter account remains locked.
Snapchat joined Facebook and Twitter in blocking the accounts, according to a company spokesman.
Before the vote in the Senate, VP Pence spoke to promise that those who contributed to the chaos will be prosecuted. According to Capitol Police, some 52 people were arrested.
“To those who wreaked havoc in our capitol today, you did not win,” the vice president said. “Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the people’s House.”
Of the 52 arrests, 47 were related to violations of the 1800 curfew set by Mayor Muriel Bowser. 26 people were arrested on Capitol grounds. Several others were arrested for carrying firearms, either without a license or unlawfully.
In addition, the DC police chief said two pipe bombs were recovered from the headquarters of the RNC and DNC, while a cooler from a vehicle on US Capitol grounds that contained Molotov cocktails. 14 police officers were injured, 2 of whom remain hospitalized after being attacked by members of the crowd. Police said more arrests are expected as investigators will now attempt to identify people from camera footage.
The vote in the Senate was completed early Thursday morning. One senator told reporters that she had backed away from the opposition vote because of the chaos.
“When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes,” Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was supposed to take the lead on objecting to results from Georgia, said on the Senate floor Wednesday night. “However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.”
By the end of the proceedings, both the House and the Senate had rejected challenges to results in Arizona and Pennsylvania, while no senators signed on to challenges in Georgia and other states.
The FBI late Wednesday asked the public to submit tips, such as images, videos and other information to help agents identify people were “actively instigating violence.”
During what several media outlets described as a “siege”, at least one Trump supporter entered the Senate chamber, while others smashed windows in an attempt to break onto the House floor, where police officers brandished guns to keep them away. Police placed the building under lockdown, and lawmakers were instructed to prepare to put on gas masks as pepper spray filled the chamber.
Meanwhile, in keeping with the media narrative that Trump supporters aren’t proud Americans but crypto-fascists hoping to trample on democracy, Joe Biden – speaking from Delaware – said the Capitol’s storming bordered on “sedition” and called “on the mob to pull back and allow the work of the democracy to go forward.”
Though the chaos has subsided, Mayor Bowser’s public emergency declaration will remain in effect for 15 days, allowing her to impose restrictions on people’s movement.

Ashli Babbitt’s execution by the Capitol City Police. https://parler.com/post/d2dc467bddb84de1b464f865d823f394
the kid in the blue shirt,i’d like to know which side he’s on–
so many people ust casually reaching 4 their cell phones to video her while she is in her death throes–
It’s over for Trump.
The question now is whether the heavily armed patriots will actually take the country back from the criminals or roll over for them.
Walk the walk or just talk the talk.
My bet is that’ll only happen once they are at the brink of losing everything.
Well if that is the case, then waiting a couple of more weeks until he is out of office wont really matter then, will it?
Sharpen knives and such eh?
And how so?
It’s over for America.

Thanks again Flash. It was super ambiguous, especially the end when finalized with “our journey is just beginning”, what the fuck does that mean.
And it sounded overly erudite with legalese, looking to thwart the shrill and desperate calls for 25th and impeachment.
Enjoy the show!
Neither Biden nor Harris are even legitimate candidates to RUN for president. Biden is clearly having a cognitive meltdown and Harris wasn’t born in the US. Why haven’t they been challenged on these grounds?
The same reason that the birth certificate of the Kenyan was never challenged . The entire Congress knew, but they said nothing because they do not work for US.
You appear to believe the nation is still being governed by a body of abstract laws, to which our politicians owe allegiance or fealty.
It would be better for you to accept the facts: You have no political representation. If you are White, you are officially now a Man Without A Country. Accept that life as you knew it is never returning and start making new plans. Godspeed to you!
Go fuck yourself, Don.
“The demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy…”
Gag me with a spoon.
“a heinous attack”??
“outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem”??
Holy Shit and WOW.
What a slap in the face to his supporters.
Mygirl …. even you can’t defend this, can you?
Are you taking bets? 🙂
What’s with all the little happy face emojis?
Stucky, nope I can’t defend this slap in the face, fuck him.
Ok, I’ll use some emojis to indicate…something or other…..🎉🙌💋🤢🤦♀️🐱🏍🤦♂️😎
So, how did I do? Do you think my use of emojis was proper? Did I explain myself and my feelings? Are there any suggestions on how to properly use emojis?
Yes? 👍
No? Hmmm. There doesn’t seem to be a thumbs down emoji.
That’s racist.
Then there is the possibility that this is a deep fake. The tech does exist.
Mailvox: composited in post
A professional cinematographer examines the President’s most recent video and shares his conclusions:
I’ve been a camera and lighting man for over 10 years with experience in visual effects. In my opinion there is a high probability that that this video is composited in post. Regarding the low resolution: If he’s getting a deep fake head transplant then the low resolution would have the benefit of smoothing out the masking around his neckline in the profile shot as well as the overly sharp and unnatural edges that outline his body and the flags in the straight-on shot. (Rotoscoping)
Low resolution would also cover up any differences in sharpness if they are compositing together two or more layers with different source resolutions. For example, a 4K Trump head onto a 1080p Trump body and podium.
Higher resolutions allow for better motion tracking, if it is a deep fake they may have ripped the background and body from a previous speech at whatever the highest resolution was they could get. Dropped it in a 4K timeline with a rendered head and then outputted at 720 or 480 to smooth out and hide the quality disparity.
Take a look at the background… it appears to be a still image, it’s rock solid, no digital noise at all. In my opinion there is also additional bokeh added to it. (Blur)
Lastly, there are lens abnormalities. These are shot on longer focal length lenses, which means you will have dramatic focus falloff. When looking at the profile shot for example, the focus falloff between GEOTUS and flags is minimal. While it is significant between the flags and the walls. However, the distance appears to be greater between GEOTUS and the flag than between the flag and walls. This is not how lenses work, at the very least the background is being altered.
Running with the deep fake idea, it’s worth noting that this video is strikingly similar to the setup where he addressed the nation regarding voter fraud last month. By that I mean the same lighting, same angles and same lens focal lengths. That video was also the first time there was an edit which awkwardly cut to a side angle. Perhaps they deep faked this demoralization propaganda into that original video.
What does it all mean? I think it’s doctored
A prerecorded PR package concession speech from GEOTUS smells like total bullshit to me. Especially considering he’s been conveniently disappeared by the tech overlords since yesterday.
If I were to speculate it seems the Deep State is trying to deflate the public. Yesterday’s happenings showed the world just how vulnerable they are when the people are determined to exact justice. They need to have our leader kneel and become diminished in our eyes before we become even more emboldened. They need our submission, it is the only way they can prevail.
https://voxday.blogspot.com/2021/01/mailvox-composited-in-post.html
Great find.
Assume just for a minute it was a fake. Then we have to start assuming everything on video is fake. Guilty until proven innocent. The next 10 days are going to feel like 2020 was just a warmup.

Her name as Ashli Babbit. She was a 14-year USAF veteran. The Marxist/Antifa/BLM have their George Floyd. We have…
A 64,000 dollar question?
Disclaimer: Admin previously mentioned no advocating for violence, so I am not advocating for violence. Especially since three letter agencies are most likely monitoring this site. Nonetheless, I expect violence.
A revolution or civil war is a low probability event since the population is too divided. Most likely is that the democrats are going to push their agenda a bit too far and push those on the fringes over the edge. Then individuals and small cells will retaliate against democrat politicians similar to the IRA did decades ago in Ireland. It would only take a few Simo Hayha type individuals to totally end the leadership of the democratic leadership in the US.
It is highly unlikely that I am that only person to come to this conclusion. I suspect that the deep state is also aware, which is why I expect that gun control against rifles is a very high priority for them in the next four years.
The fat lady is singing. And shes got a dick.
Pence: Violence never wins. Tell that to the U.S. warmongers.
At this point, Trump should release hell on the Demo-Chicoms and the NeoCons and use the special-ops to arrest them all and have military tribunals and then execute them, along with Antifa and BLM and their supporters and funders, which shouldn’t be hard to find out, and the cheaters in the swing states.
What does he have to lose at this point? He’ll be a hunted fox after the 20th anyway.
That is the plan, 10th Mountain and the Marines of course, for the ground.
Miller and the snake eaters for the HVT’s.
Military Tribunals for his day in court, now that he has painfully executed every civilian option.
otto,
you’re supposed to dream while you’re sleeping–
ain’t happening–
good article,lots of good comments–
what frustrates me is how few of you fail to squarely place the blame where it belongs,on your fellow citizens–
what kind of person who has at least a room temperature iq would vote 4 a democrat?
are you still associating w/people like that?
hmm,maybe you should go have a talk w/the guy in the mirror?
i’ve been saying 4 over 30 years that if a leftist coup or revolution occurred ,the average guy would not do anything as long as he was fed & assured that his lifestyle would not change–
freedom,kinda overrated isn’t it?
i’m kinda sad 4 my country,i’ve got the big country blues–
We wonder with what they threatened him and his family. That whole damned ‘protest’ was a Pantifa setup.
Yes, but the police allowing Antifa in, followed by duped Republicans, was a Demo-Chicom setup.
Just popped in to see if the “plan trusters” from 6 months ago had finally figured out the reality of Q and Zion Don the Con. Sadly, the answer appears to be no.

Journalist Alex Newman says, “If Trump manages to pull it off and stay in, it’s still going to be a very, very rough ride. If Biden does get in, it’s not going to be a rough ride just for the short term, but it may be the end of our constitutional republic as we have known it. We don’t have to speculate about that either. If they just do the things they have said they are going to do it’s the end of America. Say hello to the ‘Great Reset.’ Say hello to what they call the New World Order. Say goodbye to your liberties. Say goodbye to your religious freedom. Say goodbye to your most basic freedoms, your ability to earn a living, your ability to speak freely, your ability to elect your leaders, your ability to worship God, your ability to defend your family. We are talking about the most basic and God given rights we have taken for granted in America for way too long. They are going to be gone.” In short, a second Trump Presidency means freedom and liberty preserved, and a Biden presidency means the end of America.
Well, My TBP family, wrap your heads around this if you haven’t already. (same video..different audio preference)
Pay special attention to Exhibit 54…No do that. We in BIG doodoo.

The videos I posted keep appearing and disappearing for some reason. So…Read what you could have watched.
Wow. Now it all makes sense. Powerful video, SeeBee.
Not many threads get to 700. I hope this one does.
In the Bible, the number 7 is linked to God’s perfection. The number 10 is linked to Human perfection. 7 x 10 x 10 = 700!
What that means is that God will love this thread, and grant the prayers of (ONLY) the righteous ones who contributed to it. (This rules out BL.) In other words, getting to 700 means that Trump still has a way to stay in power.
700 = HOPE …. and hope is not a sin.
@stuck – Bumping for Divine Representation
🙂 🙂 🙂
You Da Man!!
Hey … I think I just did the same thing! Only SIXTEEN moar to go!!
[youtube
I think this, Gladiator, and Les Miserables (Hugh Jackman) are tied for the number of tears I have shed during viewing.
“Wednesday as the first time in decades that the US Capitol building was successfully stormed and overrun…”
Hogwash, I believe it was overrun as recently as the Kavanaugh hearings.
I needed to bump certain images.
As I tread with a lighter touch, best that the Trump band-aid got ripped off your skins than the slow peel it has been for the last four years.
The only person that is going to save you is you. The only government you can trust is one that is absolutely terrified of its citizens.
And for those of you still grasping at straws instead of seeing the writing on the wall: There never were barbarians at our gates. They were running amok inside the country the whole time and the sooner you accept reality the better off you will be in formulating your plans to survive and thrive in the near future. That anger and frustration and fear you feel is your spirit awakening and your primitive mind coming alive. This is a natural part of the grieving process:
Denial.
Anger.
Bargaining.
Depression.
Acceptance.
Figure out where you are right now and figure out when you may get to acceptance. You do not have to like it, but you do have to accept this fucked up reality. I am watching my wife go through all of it right now and I am just letting her do it as she needs to see the reality of this charade foisted on all of the country.
YOU ALL NEED TO GET TO ACCEPTANCE immediately. The fuckers that perpetrated all of this are a multi-headed snake and organized beyond anything most people thought possible. Time is not our ally here. Whatever morals were once the accepted herd standard are gone and it is nigh time to evolve, organize, consolidate, evaluate, define, implement and adjust. OODA: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. We are well into the Decide/Act phases.
Stucky was absolutely spot on with his assessment of the thread indicating how fucked our side is lol. This is all part of the psychology of warfare and the commies have had over a hundred years to perfect exactly what is being used on us at this moment. So, the sooner you all get over the betrayal, the hyper-criticism, failure of action and whatever other legitimate and illegitimate criticisms of trump the sooner you can get back to handling the tasks at hand. There will be plenty of time after the dust settles to get back to petty squabbling over whose politician did the better job of fucking over the people or whose politician was sent by God, the gods or the fucken Easter Bunny.
I leave this here:
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

TS can probably verify.
I second that excellent notion!
Way to cowboy up!

Boy I can tell a lot of you need to look the video up for yourself and listen to it for your self.
He NEVER said I Lost, He NEVER said I Concede, He NEVER congratulated Biden.
He DID say, there will be an orderly transition to the next administration, HIS next administration.
Do you really believe he gave up his billionaire lifestyle to go through a total sh_t show of
investigations, congress, senate, the FBI, Muller’s 2 year special counsel, an impeachment all
of which FAILED. Do you really think that with all the fraud that’s been reported on for the last
2 months all over the internet and some even on TV that he doesn’t have the biggest insurance file
in the history of the world. He has it all on them.
They now have the DNI Report, there WAS foreign interference, congress and the senate found that out yesterday. So now they have all committed treason live on TV in front of the whole country by failing their Oath and the Constitution and those foreign assets worked with American assets to make it all happen.
They are so screwed now they don’t know what to, so another impeachment is their answer ?
Not a good move, he’s gonna release a lot of intel on these people, bribes, money laundering, tax fraud,
All the dominion intel, Ukraine, China, he’s gonna force Biden to concede due to what he’s going to release. That will be it ,he’s back in, it doesn’t go to Harris, the votes are for Biden, not a party and if he concedes then Trump is president.
The next few days will be very interesting. And we will all know by the 20th or so. If you’ve been on the Trump Train for the last almost 5 years now or follow Q, that’s been around for over 3 years. Buck up, there’s only Twelve days left of this ride, if you hung out that long at least have the guts to finish it with your head held high,
This President has had the election stolen from him, do you really think with all he told us all summer long about
the mail in voting scam coming he didn’t plan for it. Twelve Days, don’t give up now.
“Buck up, there’s only Twelve days left of this ride, if you hung out that long at least have the guts to finish it with your head held high,”
Just another 12 days of auditing and you can make it to OT level 8!! Don’t give up on Xenu now!
Lee, I still haven’t given up. I think the shit is about to hit the fan. Trump is a very sore loser!!! I think he’ll fight to end.
I’ll only give in if, A, they kill him, which is a real possibility, or, B, Biden does get sworn in on the 20th.
Once this thread hits 750 (the very next post) then we will be forced to go for 800. Can you handle the pressure?
And, yes, the number 8 DOES have spiritual significance!
“Number 8 in Bible is a new beginning, it is a number of hope, new horizons and bright future. It is connected with Jesus and his resurrection, as he was resurrected on the 8th day after he was chosen to be the one who will be sacrificed for the sins of humanity.”
So, if we get to 800 that is a surefire guarantee that Donald Trump will stay in office!!
The pillow guy and I prayed over this, and agreed to it. So, it HAS to happen!!
“And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”
Four more years!
Four more years!
Four more years!
Very hopeful post, Stucky. I think we can handle the 800 pressure. We’re good at blah, blah, blahing.
By the way, can write something on the symbology of numbers in Christianity? That would be interesting.
I could. Off the top of my head let’s look at just a few examples of number 12. It’s an easy number as it appears all over the place from Gen to Rev
— 12 tribes
— 12 Apostles
— Jesus feeds 5000, and 12 baskets are leftovers
— 144,000 Jews converted after the Rapture (12,000 from each of the 12 tribes)
— New Jerusalem has walls 144 cubits thick (12 x 12)
——- with 3 gates on each side, for 12 gates total
And the number 40 has even more occurrences … perhaps 100 times or more.
=================== =
To whom? You. Me. A few others. But, I sort of think it would be a Y-A-W-N for most folks here.
The other “problem” I have with it is that I can’t answer the question, “How does this aid in my quest for peace of mind?”. I have no idea how knowing about the 100 or more instances of the number 40 in the bible adds anything of real value to being a better and happier person. It seems to me to be just an exercise in mental gymnastics.
How about three, six, nine, the goose drank wine, the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.
I like numerology stuff. So did my Aunt Martha. We were Six and Three, which added up to Martha Squared (nine.) Which makes perfect sense, if you are six or three. (me or she)
