I don't think those clowns broke into the Capitol just to take pictures either

God forbid the machine gets interrupted.
Tools all around the country are being used from one election to another.
Jan 6 passed. I hope there are more that will change things for the future.

Me too, but were they really stopped? Folks are still being conned despite over 60 failures of Mr. Trump & his allies, including the Proud Boys & the Oath Keepers, to enlist the courts to overturn 2020 presidential election results.

What would have prevented the “mostly peaceful protest” is if Mr. Trump would have forced Vice-President Mike Pence to resign, he could have then installed a genuine lackey like Mark Meadows et al, & set up the formal disruption of the count of electoral votes.

Ignoring the facts of what happened LEADING UP TO and ON Jan 6th is insanity... comparing the insurrection to any protest / riot in the entire history of this country based on what it cost dollar wise is completely missing the point... just plain obtuse. Groups of protesters have smashed, looted, and burned property all the day long through history, but never in any briefest of moment did any of them come close to disrupting the function of the highest level of our government and almost stop the transition of the administration... incited and led by the shyster of all shysters... open your eyes.

I would say let the ballot box talk... but when you have convinced a swath of mouth breathers not to believe the media, that their deity was "robbed" of his crown, and that the coming election is already decided, there isn't much to be done... I only hope you don't get what you deserve for blindly following a person whose only goal is power.

I'm fine with playing to win but the conspiracy stuff and gaslighting is going to far and has real world consequences. When a president speaks people believe him

My money is that with the attack on her hubby, her age and the attempt on her life, Nancy will slink away to take care of her family. Gives her a good cover for leaving. No one would have any right to demand she stay, given the recent turn of events. So, who steps into that job?

It will likely be Hoyer or Jeffries that takes her spot, if she gets thumped in the midterms as many predict I can’t see her holding on to majority leader

Being immune to evidence, so to speak, is an overriding trait of conspiratorial thinking.

How are you sure if your facts are really facts? At this point if you aren't fact checking every source you're just believing what's being told by a biased source from one side or the other.
