  I’d like to read more about how the Jan 6 committee saw the following hypothetical: 
  if DC were a state, with its own governor and National Guard, the response to this whole shit show would have been much quicker and much more thorough.
  Surely addressing this gap in the armor protecting American democracy will be addressed… right?  Surely that’s worth a congressional recommendation for a rainy day. >
  
  Dc became a federal district because while it was in another state, Pennsylvania, rioters demanding compensation for their service in the revolution surrounded the Capitol demanding to be paid. The governor refused to send help. The idea of federal land is so one state can’t hold the capitol hostage. No one anticipated the hostage taker would come from inside the building >
  
  "Here is proof, for those who missed (or wanted to ignore) the committee’s televised hearings, that Trump knew he lost but couldn’t bear the humiliation and set about to ensure himself at least another four years in office. Who knows what other horrors he might have visited on our Constitution had his coup succeeded?
  Dark but entertaining tidbits are sprinkled throughout the report, which places ultimate blame for the terrible events at the feet of Trump." >
  
  I hear it's got a great villian.
  Gelatinous, disfigured, like Jabba the Hut but without the charm or intelligence. >
  
  And a lot more cream bronzer. >
  
  I’m at the stage where I’ll be surprised if Trump doesn’t go to prison.
  However, I also wouldn’t be surprised if he gets away with this.
