Thanks to @wikipedia TIL that on February 25th people ‘celebrate’ Soviet #Occupation Day in the #Russian -occupied (since 1921) ‘country’ of #Georgia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Occupation_Day_(Georgia)

One-hundred years later #Americans witnessed the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt in #Washington DC that had a similar authoritarian goal but with a different result.

Can we #resist a *self-inflicted* #coup at the ballot box during the #2024election ?

#MatthewHuttle of Indiana is a convicted #insurrectionist who participated in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. He was pardoned and released from jail by #DonaldTheDeplorable , but shot to death when he attacked a police officer during a traffic stop. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matthew-huttle-fatally-shot-pardon-trump_n_67988270e4b00dc186535dda

#FAFO #DenyDefendDepose same same.

Jason Riddle of New Hampshire was convicted and sentenced to 90 days for his role in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. He blames his involvement on alcohol abuse during that time of his life, which he has recovered from. He’s ‘paid his debt to society’ and says “#Trump can shove his pardon up his ass!”

Pamela Hemphill of Idaho, aka ‘MAGA Granny’, has also rejected the #Trump #pardon. She admits the #insurrection was wrong, and that she has since left the “#MAGAcult.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/capitol-rioters-reject-trumps-pardons_n_67924045e4b0c94316ec6d0a

#January6th rioters who attacked and defiled the #UnitedStates Capitol during the #FailedCoupAttempt were *all* given full #pardons by #DonaldTheDeplorable , including the #ZipTieGuy from #Tennessee , Eric Munchel.

@markmetz Or the cowardly #Republican Senators who privately considered #Trump a fascist, but publicly voted to acquit him of his 2nd #impeachment - for inciting the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. #USpol

#JayJohnston was the voice of Jimmy Pesto on “Bob’s Burgers” - until he was arrested for violent participation in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt.

He was convicted and will be in court on October 28th to find out how long he will be a #SobbingMAGA in prison. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jay-johnston-sentencing-memo-leniency_n_671be5d3e4b0fdf4fef45a9e

He also played Officer Taylor on “#ArrestedDevelopment.” Ironic since #MAGA cult members are all essentially man-babies that never matured beyond the temper tantrum phase of intellectual development! #USpol

Remember the #January6th story about the young courageous man from #Texas that turned his father in to the #FBI for armed participation in the #FailedCoupAttempt despite his #UltraMAGA father threatening to kill him if he did?

You can watch it all play-out in #NewYork with dialogue that is verbatim from the trial that convicted his father.

@LALegault In his '#AmericanCarnage ' inauguration speech, to a #CrowdSize much smaller than Barack Obama's, #DonaldTrump foretold what would happen at the same spot on #January6th during a #FailedCoupAttempt , and also what is happening now in #Springfield , #Ohio.

#Trump and #VladimirPutin next want to make the race-based and lie-fueled violence go country-wide. Don't let them, #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. #USpol

#DonaldTrump admitted in a live online interview with a supportive #influencer that he LOST the #2020election “by a whisker”. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/05/trump-admits-lost-2020-enrages-supporters/75086053007/

All the #MAGA cult members sitting in prison for violently participating in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt are #SobbingMAGAs now! #USpol

@latimes Michael Sparks from #Kentucky was a violent participant in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. He’s a #SobbingMAGA now.

It’s not surprising that #DonaldTrump chickened-out of the #ABCnews #PresidentialDebate with #KamalaHarris.

He’s afraid of strong women.

Notice how he has not set foot in #Congress since the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt when #NancyPelosi threatened to “punch him out!” https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/10/14/jan-6-pelosi-exclusive-video-punch-him-out-trump-pkg-holmes-newday-vpx.cnn

How far has the #RepublicanParty gone from being the #GOP to becoming a #Trump cult?

This far https://www.huffpost.com/entry/january-6-derrick-evans_n_6643fab6e4b0d915e0fbf5e9

#DerrickEvans was convicted and served three months in federal prison for violently participating in the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. He just LOST in a primary where three-term incumbent Congresswoman #CarolMiller won by claiming Evans was a “secret Democrat” who didn’t support #DonaldTrump *enough*!

#MAGA voters from the #2016election and #2020election are being removed from the polls by attrition from #unvaccinated #COVID deaths, #SobbingMAGAs in prison after #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt , learning to distinguish #truth and facts from #TrumpLies and #AlternativeFacts , as well as various and sundry felony convictions, such as flying a #Nazi flag while trying to crash into the #WhiteHouse. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-house-truck-crash_n_664328ade4b04540de6ec730

#IsraelJamesEasterday of #Munfordville , #Kentucky was raised in a pacifist #Amish family, but after declaring “I #Trump “ he became a violent #insurrectionist during the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/israel-james-easterday-sentenced-capitol-riot_n_6627f9e9e4b06e0c270a4f23

He has been found guilty and sentenced to 20 months in federal prison, where he will join the chorus of #SobbingMAGAs .
