LOL we finally agree. Those individuals desecrated our capital. BLM vandalized police stations and government offices and I want them prosecuted too, but these A holes damaged and vandalized our capital. They are low life scum as far as I am concerned.

You promise not to call us Nazis or brown shirt like you did this past summer when we arrested your boys Antifa and BLM for attacking federal court house in Portland?

Yes these thugs are going to jail for a long, long time. Hopefully they enjoyed their time in the spotlight because they are going to pay for it dearly.

The most impressive statements surrounding this attack by fascists on our democracy came from Mitch McConnell - a man who is Senator in a state where Trump beat Biden by 29%.

"The United States and the United States Congress have faced down much greater threats than the unhinged crowd we saw today. We have never been deterred before, and we will be not deterred today. They try to disrupt our democracy, they failed. They failed. They failed to attempt to obstruct Congress. This failed insurrection only underscores how crucial the task before us is, for our republic,"

Aren`t these the same people who pretend to be outraged when a football player takes a knee? Patriots they are not.

I’m more than fine with this, as long as this also includes Antifa and BLM.

There cannot be an honest and open discussion of the possibility of election fraud for one simple reason, there was none. Any proof has been rebutted or found to come from questionable sources.

You are clearly off if you think the riot was mild compared to the BLM one. That is nothing but a right-wing talking point. This has built up over sometime with the Operation Gridlock protests over gyms being closed. Trump supported that with Liberate _______ tweets. This is the Gov. Whitmer trial bullcrap. BLM never wanted to kill Vice-President Pence or governors or senators or representatives. This group DID.
I didn't vote for Trump and don't condone what happened yesterday; however, you lecturing Republicans? That's rich. Coming from a poster who claimed that the Democratic Headquarters in Phoenix was torched by a Trump supporter back in July when it turned out to be a former disgruntled Democratic worker. After that, it was crickets from you on the subject. Why should anyone believe anything that you say anymore?

§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
This.

A harrowing photo shows a Trump supporter carrying a Confederate flag inside the US Capitol, flanked by portraits of Civil War figures
  • Photographer Saul Loeb captured an image of a pro-Trump rioter storming the US Capitol on Wednesday.
  • Though the Confederate flag originated during the US Civil War, it never entered the Capitol building during that time.
  • Behind the rioter in the photo, two portraits reflect the fractured nation of the country during the 1860s.
  • To the man's right is a portrait of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist. To his left is a portrait of John C. Calhoun, a defender of slavery.
