Many of us have been concerned that hot rhetoric would lead to actual violence. We Cassandras, unfortunately, were right.

Question is how will those RWNJ's react in the future?

Republican leadership in Congress and across the country further divided the US
Anyone with a clue could see the demonstration coming- and what we saw, after the riot, R's with guts voted for Impeachment- the rest, running scared of Trump

Now another question is when will they realize that Trump thru them under
the bus
And Trump still has massive support from his base-
Pardon me, not an insult, a question, this is not American exceptionalism or is it?

Arguably covid response is part of national security.
Or at least related.

It is IMHO
Enemies within and without- Covid is an enemy to the NS of the US
If Trump had even made an attempt to battle Covid, he could have been serving a 2nd term

Isnt it amazing how quickly all the democrats who echoed the defund the police mantra cower behind them when they feel threatened. Where was this display of force when it was private citicizens being terrorized by the mostly peaceful protesters?

Oh they were present- recall the BLM protests in the Capitol
NG, and other agencies were there in force
Then we have Trumps clearing a square for a photo op holding a Bible

Did they attack Congress and for a fair number willing to kill/execute their enemies

Perspective is important

Your Democracy was attacked- those defending these attacks do not support the Constitution. Regardless of how many times the hug the flag and invoke the Constitution

Stop it.
They are authorized to shoot violent protestors if they try to take over the capitol.
Your hyperbole level is astronomical, and really idiotic.

I heard Johnny Carson say it once on his show, I'm pretty sure that Pat McCormick wrote it...

Favorite Pat McCormick joke, he was driving down the freeway with a friend at night, they drove past the Braille Institute which had all the lights off and he said "Oh, look, they are working late!"

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to leave the White House for the final time as president Wednesday morning, according to two people familiar with his plans.
The two sources said that he plans to travel to his home in West Palm Beach, Florida, and land there before noon, when he will still be commander-in-chief. President-elect Joe Biden's swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol will take place around 12 p.m. ET.

Trump ally Mike Lindell of My Pillow pushes martial law at White House

My Pillow founder and Trump supporter Mike Lindell was photographed entering the West Wing of the White House on Friday, carrying notes which seemed to advocate the imposition of martial law.

I don't believe that claim. How do notes you can't read seem like anything.

Wasn't the point, joko. I didn't read it and have no interest in it. I put it up to show you that Trump is in DC.

OK, maybe, maybe not. I don't believe a word of that article whatsoever - even that it happened today or that he was meeting Trump. It's just too extreme a made up attack. Trump has stated repeatedly he will turn over the White House in a peace transition.

The fact is that they beat police officers with poles those flags were borne upon and literally pissed on the Constitution they can't be bothered to read... F'em, those unAmerican assholes and all who excuse them.
 
Could be the National Guard is there to stop the riots when the weekend at Bernie's candidate isn't inaugurated on Wednesday?

;)
 
January 6 reached a breaking point for me. I can no longer tolerate the unAmerican bullshit from Trump sycophants any longer. They are traitors, pure and simple (mostly simple), to everything that America stands for and deserve the worst possible punishment for their very existence. They are terrorist, criminal lowlifes, and abettors to the worst human depravities. We have a cabal of deplorables that haunt this board and, despite my reverence for the First Amendment, don't deserve to have a platform here. Shouldn't we have some standards? They need to be excised from our community and cast into the depths of posting hell for eternity.
 
Trump's America Greatness is as perverse, divisive and chaotic as its Dear Leader.

Tens of thousands of armed troops plus thousands of federal and local police "occupying" the capital to protect it from armed "conservative" butt hurt insurrectionists. who knew Great Again in this case meant 1861? I guess the final clue was that arsewipe running around with confed flag.

Never kneeling to flag in disrespect and always singing the anthem, who knew Great Again including honoring the flag by beating a cop on the steps of the Capitol with it on a pole.

If the fascist racist white nationalist Qanon patriotic americans are stupid enough to actually try something, there will be a huge silver lining in the momentary darkness. The current nation wide manhunt (largest in history) will increase by an order of magnitude or two. Meanwhile, for a large number of the scummiest of those mofos and their perverted wet dream of america, body bags await.

Yep its the natural human reaction to existential threats to all they hold dear.

And fascist, racist, white nationalist bat shit crazy lovers of the totalitarian and defenders of hate and exclusion should be roundly and thoroughly stomped on and the survivors graciously allowed to slink back to their cesspools. Outta sight is fine, in the streets and in the normal political discourse? SCREW THEM with the giant Saguaro .

^ A message backing up my claim that the new Democratic Party is now fully anti-liberal corporate-fascist authoritarianism governed by white plutocrats and kleptocrats. The Democratic Party should have been outlawed permanently after the Civil War and continues to be the greatest danger and enemy the United States has ever had.

I agree that support overturning certified elections and defending insurrection certainly does meet the major criteria for deplorable, without reservation.
 
Corrupt bought and paid for election officials that should be jailed for certifying the uncertifiable.
