The Insurrection and attempted Coup d'etat of the U.S. Capitol

Last Wednesday, January 6th, 2021, an insurrection by an extremist-mob attempted a “coup d’etat”  to over-throw the Congress and even to kill some U.S. Capitol Representatives, Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and Vice-President Pence who, as President of the Senate, had oversight of the counting and could confirm the Electoral College Votes out of each of the 50 U. S. States.  The mob's intent was to stop the Capitol Representatives from counting the Electoral College Votes, which is the final Official process in the confirmation that President-Elect Joseph Biden “is” the next President of the United States!  This Coup was the result of continuous lies and incitement by President Donald J. Trump since the Election on November 3, 2020, stating: "... the election was a fraud", [and encouraged his followers to go directly to the Capitol at a rally on January 6, 2021 and take back the election. 

Nevertheless, after hours of destruction and sacrilegious mob insanity, the House and Senate completed counting all Electoral votes, and Vice President Pence declared President-Elect Joseph Biden the next President of the United States with 306 Electoral Votes versus his opponent, President Donald J. Trump with 232 Electoral Votes.  To become elected to the U. S. Presidency, a winner must at least have received 270 Electoral Votes (https://nationalarchives.gov).

This Insurrection and “coup d’etat” attempt was incited and driven by President Donald J. Trump, supported by his family, his cronies, his lawyers, the QAnon Conspiracy theorists, the Proud Boy, the Oath Keepers and numerous other Trump Conspiracy followers that hold Trump as their Messiah, along with white Supremacists groups, and far Right Christian Groups.  

Since the General Presidential Election on November 3, 2020, there have been numerous recounts of votes demanded by Trump's lawyers in the six States that helped bring former Vice President Joseph Biden up to 306 Electoral Votes.  Even with over 60 Court Rulings, 2 by the U.S. Supreme Court Justices stating no evidence of fraudulent voting or activity took place either in the voting or counting of votes in these six states: Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Yet, President Trump still continues to daily claim "fraud and corrupt activity had been conducted during and after the Election took place", inciting and inciting hate amongst his loyal followers!  

Five persons died as a result of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.  Many were injured.  The process of Impeachment has already begun in the House of Representatives.  Calls are asking for VP Pence to enact action from the 25th Amendment to stop Trump from inciting further damage to Washington D.C. and to the world.  Even a number of Republicans in the House and the Senate have turned on him.  Millions of rational thinking people say "enough from Trump!  He has to go and never be able to run for any office in government in the U.S. again! (as proof: please go to all reputable world media to see the videos and pictures of the horror that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Five people died because of this intentional violence, and numerous others were injured.  The FBI has arrested over 500 rioters and will arrest others who took part in carrying out this intentional attempted “coup d’etat” and violence. These extremists even brought bombs and firearms into the Capitol.
