So the trump administration is fully admitting that the insurrection attempting to block the certification of the Presidential election 2021 on Jan 6 was open rebellion?

Holly shit. I hadn’t seen that last image you posted before. I didn’t realize the Jan 6 insurrectionist brought flexcuffs. That is quite disturbing. Who the fuck were they planing to kidnap or take hostage with those flexcuffs?
It’s just part of their cosplay.
I mean, I could believe that if they were just on his gear or with him, but he has them in his hand, ready to use to take hostages/kidnap people. I am genuinely curious as to what his intentions were for the hostages he was planning to take.
It was common rhetoric among the supporters at the time to hang the Democratic officials that were certifying the count and then Mike Pence when he didn’t go along with their plans, they had even built a makeshift gallows out front before the assault.
