so many elephants, so little room

6 jan 2021/a mob surges toward the Capitol building/where vote certifications are being kept

the mob was urged to “fight like hell”/but the  phrase “peaceably and patriotically” was also in there

violence ensues

the man who urged watches/he does not interfere/though he knows full well/that all he has to do/is get in front of a microphone and say

“Hey, stop with the violence already. What part of ‘peaceably and patriotically’ didn’t you understand?”

no, he continues to watch. continues/to watch./he gets word/that some are chanting HANG MIKE PENCE!/not much later he texts a message.

the message is not “Knock it off, you guys! You are not being peaceable!”/no, the message boils down to “Shame on Mike Pence for not doing right by me!”

and much later he delivers a message via microphone./ part of the message is “Go home.” part is “We love you.”

the concept of “the elephant in the room”/is insufficient for the events/of 6 jan 2021.

many more than one elephant is required.

      Christine, I wish they would. But many, some former classmates of mine included, buy into the notion that it’s all Nancy Pelosi’s fault because she didn’t summon the National Guard. There’s a war of propaganda going on.

    I don’t think she had the power to summon the national guard? Its typical Trump deflection
    I’m interested in the politics and just saw Jack Smith has put in some more paperwork at court. Judge Chutkin has unsealed it? More against Trumps behaviour on Jan 6th. Sorry too much detail!
