The Stupid Coup
Republicans are dopey traitors:
House Republicans, conducting their own investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection, plan to accuse the Capitol security apparatus of “negligence at the highest levels,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) tells Axios.
I mean, I wouldn’t go out of my way to protect these traitors that are trying to deflect blame for the Jan. 6 Stupid Coup onto me.
Why it matters: By placing blame on the building’s top security officials, this shadow investigation gives the GOP an alternative frame for discussing the 2021 Capitol assault.
Banks told us the GOP investigators — who consist of exiles denied seats on the formal Jan. 6 committee, controlled by Democratic leaders — have “absolutely” uncovered new information.
- The group plans to issue a report, including legislative recommendations, before this fall’s midterms.
Reality check: The strength of security surrounding the Capitol building had been enough to protect it from assault since the British burned it in 1814.
- That period encompassed the Civil War, the civil rights and Vietnam protests, as well as the disputed 2000 presidential election.
- The only time it was breached, and the Confederate flag carried through its corridors, was after President Trump encouraged a crowd on the Ellipse to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
But you know, that insurrection was just legitimate political discourse.
Mock Paper Scissors 
Anything to distract from the #BidenBoom job growth, and Democrats leading or tied in 4 of the last 5 generic ballot midterm polls. Republicans stand for nothing but fear, hate, doom, gloom, negativity, culture war division, book banning, forced birth, antivaxxing, a War on Teachers, anti-CRT race baiting, QAnon, climate disaster, whining about woke this and woke that, and flipping out over Dr. Suess, Big Bird, M&Ms, and Minnie Mouse.

Old news. It’s already come out that TFG passed orders – or suggestions? – to his hand picked superior officers over DC security forces to not come to the aid of the DC police in their efforts to maintain control during the riots.
