January 6 Insurrection

[phkrause]

A Startling Document Predicted Jan. 6. Democrats Are Missing Its Other Warnings.

Weeks before the 2020 election, a secret 87-page document outlined in matter-of-fact language the threat posed by Donald Trump’s still-to-come campaign of election denial. The private paper — the existence of which has not been reported before — forecast with chilling confidence the likelihood of violence during the presidential handover and proposed a far-reaching set of political reforms to thwart Trumpism in the future.

Right on cue. New ,chilling proof of misdeeds of Trump.  Doesn't disappoint. Many more chilling secrets will be dicovered. Trump must be indicted so he cannot possibly be the nominee. I sincerely hope he is not,but how many times between now and 2024 will we be breathlessly entertained? 

Wonder if anyone else has given thought to the fact Trump should have been down and out long before this. His popularity seems to increase in relation to the fear and hatred level of democrats. 

He was laughed at the first go round, ridiculed, lied about, and accused. I believe he is probably guilty of some that is being thrown around, but doesn't seem to stick. If the past is an indicator and he should win the presidency again then what will the left do? Go for impeachment again?

Do democrats realize the power their fear and petty hatred may hand Trump? Biden had the WH, congress, senate

 and the media. If that should and it certainly could happen to Trump, Payback by a man that I am confident knows how to provide it is in the future.  Not a future election and stays within the law, democrats have already done their worst. A few republicans that are as rabid as the rabid democrats, a fun time will be had by all. 

In part handed to him unnecessarily by a rabid left. 

No money involved but a little dinner bet with a friend how long it will take for another chilling, breathtaking secret will be discovered.

I am sure it is to late to hope Trump fades into the background along with Biden come 2024, but probably way to much to hope for.

A win for Trump and he will come out like a rabid grizzly. If he were lucky enough to have the congress and senate behind him I think the word compromise is history.

I am not ashamed to say I was not part of that riot.  In fact, I didn't even watch it on TV.  I was doing something else far more important like mowing my lawn or cleaning my toilet.

I did watch some of it and really was impressed with Liz Chaney and Adam Kinsinger and what they gave up to be on the committee to do the right thing!! I knew that there still were some republicans and not all had given themselves up to being trumplicans!!

[Dr. Shane]

I watched some of it but after the fact.  I used to be a political junkie but then I started seeing how bad both sides are.  I started writing a book about ten years ago about the damage politics does to our church.  The book title is "A House Divided".  I never finished it but I might someday.  I put a lot of research into it and it is well cited.  I think God had me put it down and when He thinks I am ready, He will encourage me to finish it.  The premise isn't that politics are bad in and of themselves.  It is simply the way we (members of the church) cherish certain partisan opinions and judge those that disagree, harms the church.
