🧵 Thread. J6: Inside DC, Outside the Capitol 1.After deciding weeks before to attend The Save America March, it was about this time 2 years ago that I hit the road, headed to DC from MA. Due to Baker’s Covid curfew, it was important to make sure I was well into CT before 10pm.

2. About 7 hours later, shortly after 4am, I arrived in DC. After finding the parking garage, I had 3 priorities: 1. Find a bathroom 2. Figure out which direction I was supposed to go to attend the rally/ march. 3. Get some photos of DC landmarks along the way. https://t.co/X60R4grbSJ

5.I found a small breakfast diner, run by an Asian couple, who were gracious enough to let me use their bathroom- downstairs in what appeared to be an abandoned poker room. Wooden door that had to be held closed with my foot, but relief at last. Then, sunrise on DC 7:31-8:10am https://t.co/wIA86J9ohr

6. What started as a line behind the monument, was now pushing deeper into the field between the monument and the street, across from which was the White House and the staging area where speakers would address the crowd. 8:18-8:25am https://t.co/xkXqIfhKf7

7. It was a chilly day, standing for hours, Standing for Freedom and Justice. I listened to the conversations all around me; many talking about how they traveled from all over the country, some by car, others by plane. All United in one peaceful purpose. Photos 8:25-8:26am https://t.co/Uoar6vkyw5
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
8. Anticipation builds as the crowd grows larger. At this point, I was still wondering if the line would make it across the street, allowing us to get closer to the stage. Eventually, the line just stopped, so everyone fanned out on the field to get the best view possible. 8:51am https://t.co/To3g19XxPv

9. The sea of people continues to swell. Photos/video 8:52am- 9:23am https://t.co/gcKv36twVs
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
10. As some music continues to play from across the street, there wasn’t a whole lot to do besides “people watching”; partly just from curiosity, but also as a matter of personal security. Remember, 6 months earlier was the height of the BLM/ANTIFA riots. Watch your 6. 9:38am https://t.co/vqKtjvRKoV

13. A little more than an hour before the then, still-President of the United States, Donald J Trump, would address the crowd, a video that many have likely seen by now plays on the big screen. 10:57am https://t.co/EPDHMfyBL9

14. The crowd awaits President Trump’s speech, photos: 11:15am https://t.co/WS6gv1y7eM
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
15. Trump appears for his speech, after which, as planned, we would march to the Capitol to stand outside and be heard. Marching was not spontaneous; streets were blocked off specifically for this part of the day. Video at 11:57am, 12:01pm https://t.co/SEclohXmfa
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
16. Go peacefully and patriotically, and be heard. 1:23pm, and well on our way. The most satisfying part was chanting “do your job” as we passed the DOJ building. https://t.co/zDXjfML1WP
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
17. 1:23-1:42pm 19 minutes and still on the way. https://t.co/sfJTnwRqxe
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
18. 1:42-1:56pm The Capitol now in sight… https://t.co/bevaeRNiMi
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
19. 2:06pm-2:07 The crowd pushes closer to the building. Upon arrival, no barriers, no CP. Not long after, CP launched smoke bombs that smelled like Party fog, indiscriminately into the crowd from the balcony. Something literally “didn’t smell right”. Something was “off”. https://t.co/lF6fZjboDL
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
20. In the course of the next few minutes, I was deeper into the crowd. A female CP set off a smoke bomb from the balcony and then proceeded to act as if “shot”. I turned to the person next to me and said “see that, we’re being played” or something to that effect. https://t.co/85TM9f0d7E

21. By 2:26pm I had been the closest I was going to go, still discerning this was going south in orchestrated fashion. I was one of many berated by Uncle Sam on a bullhorn (4th photo) yelling at us for impeding progress by going the other way. He’s as guilty as Epps, IMO. https://t.co/bNQvV6MZZb
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
22. Within minutes of deciding to head back, away from the building, I got enough reception to check voicemail. My mother had called to inform me she heard NG was being called, and a curfew was being set. I spent the next few minutes getting more photos and videos. https://t.co/PoVGQ3T71T
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
23. As you’ll see, the crowd was still making their way to the Capitol, while others stood in the street, singing, praying, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Phone reception was horrible. Most likely had no idea what was going on. In fact, I was unaware that anyone had gone in. https://t.co/ji6JGJ9AQG
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
24. Young and old, black and white, the diverse crowd still growing. It was now almost 3pm. I would spend about another 20 minutes taking photos and videos. Before finally leaving DC in the rearview mirror. (Watch out for those scary singing children in video 2. jk 🤦🏻♂️) https://t.co/jurPzP5Axg
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
25. 2:57-3:05pm One last look around. I came, I saw, I stood. It wasn’t until the ride home that I learned that some had gone inside, and that hundreds of thousands of us were now deemed the enemy, as if instantly washing away 11 hrs of a beautiful show of patriotism and unity. https://t.co/mpYPXITEhL
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
26. That night, and the days that followed, I began to post about the day, trying desperately to explain to those who weren’t there that they were only getting one ugly and edited part of the story. Had we all been there for what they claim, there never would have been a vote. https://t.co/ukcrSmR4Iy
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
27. No matter what came out, some chose to ignore first hand accounts like mine, because there was No violence or destruction in my story. It’s just easier label all of us extremists to push an agenda, without noting how massive, patriotic, and historic the gathering was. END. https://t.co/VfGnEm0o8S

I’m going to make this J6 Thread my pinned Tweet, but my offer to pray for You, which has been my pinned Tweet, still stands. Any time, for any reason. 👇

Spicer v. Biden was the most ingenious and consequential case regarding Presidential authority to terminate employees of the executive branch. A strategic case that the plaintiffs knew they would ultimately lose, resulted in SCOTUS deciding that the President (Biden at the time) had unlimited authority to fire anyone he wanted. Fast forward to 2025, and federal judges are blatantly ignoring this precedent in regard to Trump’s terminations at various agencies. There is no way this judicial activism should stand in light of Spicer v. Biden.

BILLIONS have now been spent. The Ukraine flag emoji is now the international symbol for “I’ll believe anything MSM tells me”, quickly replacing “masks save lives” on the gullibility index, literally overnight. One of the best summaries I’ve seen to date, in under 5 minutes.

REPORT: Donald Trump reportedly pulled out a piece of paper from his suit jacket in court, claiming it would clear him of all wrongdoing in the $250M fraud case. Left-wing Judge Arthur Engoron refused to let him read it. The paper in question reportedly was a disclaimer clause relating to a financial statement that AG Letitia James is using to go after him. "I would love to read this, Your Honor, if I could?" Trump reportedly asked the judge. "Not at this point, not at this point," Engoron replied. "I’m shocked," Trump shot back. The disclaimer clause, according to Trump, meant that he wasn't liable for any inaccuracies on the documents. "I think that the statements of financial conditions were very good, were actually somewhat conservative, and they were totally protected, and so was I, by the disclaimer clause," Trump argued. Kangaroo Court.

@CollinRugg Absolute kangaroo court. The goal is not conviction. The goal is to influence voters. Election interference.
@CollinRugg - Collin Rugg
@followed_ByBots It's not ironic that Trump got hit with countless different felony charges and civil suits all at the same time.
@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson
@CollinRugg @followed_ByBots Almost as simultaneous as 5 states “randomly” stopping the vote count late at night when Trump was ahead.
@HTop75 - Ms.Adams
@KevinMNelsonUSA @CollinRugg @followed_ByBots The Bellwether state exist as a confirmation of a clean election. Biden only Won one bellwether state. The Founders were very diligent about verifying.
