Well, yeah, that's the whole point of attempting a coup. They want to throw away the election results because they don't like them and give Trump a second term even though he lost the election.
I think brazenness itself has more to do with it than any forward-looking evaluation of legal implications. In today's (anti-)social media obsessed culture nothing matters as much as personal celebrity, and nothing contributes to personal celebrity as much as exposure in a manner that garners attention.

I actually don't think so - the amount of people put through the US military has really messed things up. It isn't computer games. You can see a similar thing with Israel and their need to train everyone in the military.
Jamiroquai forced to deny that he was that "freak"!
Dave Mustaine would no doubt have joined him if he wasn't so old and sad about not being in Metallica.
And what is it with the baseball hat over the hood thing? It is not a good look. It just makes the wearer look like their mum dressed them by throwing clothes at them from another room while watching TV with the lights off.
It's another way of saying "I find that person physically attractive"
Well you've got the start of a conspiracy theory right there!
OMG, this is the funniest thing I've read all week, I really needed that laugh today, thanks very much!
"They're all white people."
In at least one documented case that's exactly what happened.
Read the article ... The transmission originated from New York (probably Long Island) on 5 January. It was heard and reported by the flight crew of a Jet Blue flight from San Juan to JFK. All reports to date of this single transmission have been transcribed as referring to "capital" - i.e., Washington DC rather than the Capitol Building specifically.
I liked for the classy mod communication."I think what we witnessed was Trump kicking over the Monopoly board. As a serious coup attempt it was truly amateur, people smiling for the camera FFS! "
I think Trump realises that he screwed up horrifically.
He obviously wanted a show of people power to support his claims of electoral fraud.
He got that OK, but he also got lethal violence and a desecration of US democracy's holy of holies, which has backfired on Trump enormously, by turning most public opinion - whether of the Blue or Red persuasion, vehemently against him.

Political Speculation Removed
Tear gas, especially in an enclosed space, increases the risk of a stroke:
Unfortunately it won't - these are people, generalizing, who twist communications to suit them. A while back someone pointed out a Qanon message about a Trump tweet sending a coded message to the FBI. Which is bizarre because the FBI reports to him. I suspect that there is a slew of publicity-seekers putting out posts on whatever channel these folks use to communicate explaining what he was really saying. His statement was pretty gentle and rather tame - after all, these folk as someone suggested yesterday I believe in the Times will watch his TV channel and buy his branded goods.
Well it is rather difficult to participate in this thread without flirting dangerously with politics.
Report and we will consider.
