Holy *****.

Every president in history would be impeached then.
Just curious. What are your opinions on this statement ?

"it's the power of the people to take to the streets and force their government to address what is wrong"

I am not defending any of the actions that happened the other day. Just calling you out on your hyperbole.

I never claim comprehension is my strong point.

But when the Right attempts to make basic facts debatable, I'm out.

Have fun in the alternative universe.

We heard "walk" down PA. Ave.
Within the crowd were a few small cells of violent ones who seized on the opportunity to head to the Capital. Guliani saying "trial by combat" didn't exactly slow them down. As the walk began and reached the Capital slowly more and more people joined each cell. With totally inadequate security of the building the huge group headed for the doors. Once there it was too late to stop them and many proceeded to do things they had no intent to do.
Capital security was woefully weak. Now they have put up some rinky dink 7 foot metal fence that a few strong men might be able to pull down.

The guy in Pelosi's office has been found in Arkansas so he'll be charged with whatever is appropriate for his actions.

Who among the New York City people still think that Guiliani was the best mayor they ever had?

So then of course you expect James Comey to be rehired.

the attempt to circumnavigate the US constitution is far worse.


the terrorizing of elected representatives of the united states is far worse.


sedition is far worse.


US representatives needing to quarantine in a bunker under armed guard is far worse.

the deliberate promotion of a fake conspracy theory is far worse.

A Reuters photographer says he overheard pro-Trump insurrectionists saying they wanted to hang Mike Pence at the Capitol

Quote:
A Reuters photographer said Friday that he overheard at least three pro-Trump insurrectionists at the US Capitol this week say they wanted to locate Vice President Mike Pence and hang him.

They said they "hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor," the photographer, Jim Bourg, tweeted. "It was a common line being repeated. Many more were just talking about how the VP should be executed."

After the last two days, we can conclude:

Liberals = pro 'Merica, supports the police, law & order and a strong defense of our nation's ideals

Conservatives = anti 'Merica, anti-police, against law & order and the rule of law


When Democrats start sounding like Bush Era republicans while Trumpers sound like Cuban revolutionaries from the 50's.........we really are living in upside down land.

They literally think that people are going to watch the Mike Pence say he's going to be loyal to the constitution, the President and his son tell the sheep to march to the Capitol and show strength while Mike Pence is doing his job, pictures of known right wing nutjobs entering the Capitol...

But somehow this is all ANTIFA's doing.
Quite possibly! This man was at the protest and overheard others talking, and this just sounds exactly what could have moved the protest to violent, and not by the hands of Trump supporters:
