    The man, named as Ryan English in the court documents, turned himself in to police near an entrance to the Capitol.

    Sure, sure - this definitely dosent sound like a planted story that will then be referenced as evidence to justify horrible things

      It could be, but I actually think it’s unlikely. I think with Trump’s team’s type of morality, a Reichstag Fire type of event would probably involve some actual violence against somebody, not just some person wandering up and saying he’s with the terrorism. That would be much more effective. I think this is so mild, that anything it’s likely to lead to, they were already planning on doing.

        Trump will do a Reichstag fire…literally. As in, he’ll try to stage a false-flag attack modeled after the one the Nazis did. Except, he’ll screw it up in the most moronic way possible. Instead of setting fire to the US capitol or some other US target, he will have the literal Reichstag - the actual German parliament building - set on fire again.

          And he’ll think he invented it.

          Also, when people make the obvious connection, he’ll do an interview with Sean Hannity, where Hannity asks him whether he really was the one that blew up the Washington Monument, because he obviously wasn’t. And he’ll say, “Of course I did, and I had every right to do it, too. And then I blamed it on Antifa. See? Smart.”
