They don't call her nasty Nancy, or Nasty Pelosi for nothing. This is what the far left demands of her. She must spew hateful inflammatory rhetoric in order to stay relevant in her increasingly divided, blood thirsty party. She is playing politics, and dragging America along for this bumpy ride. She is absolutely willing to throw the nation under the bus in order to finish her career without being ejected in disgrace by her own party. It's sad that we all have to suffer for her glory, but this is why our founding fathers designed the nation around the principle of small, limited government. So we cannot be destroy from the inside out.

So soon they will be gone and irrelevant, Trump has been neutered by social media and soon he will only be heard via far right fringe outlets. He can talk among his cult, the rest of the world will have tuned him and them out.

Trumpism is officially dead. Thank God.
The MAGA movement whatever it was is rood kill, they had to ransack the capital because they love our country and democracy just so much. Great patriots carrying those Trump flags while smashing doors down in the capital, with patriots like that who needs enemies.

You are way off topic here. Trump's Terrorists are actually being arrested and charged with violent insurrection for attacking the Capitol while Congress was in session and attempting to assassinate the VP and overthrow the government.

Are you trying to defend the terrorists...?

Great post... but the wrong pronoun was used.... IMHO

They don't call him nasty for nothing. This is what the right demands of him.
He spews angry, hateful, inflammatory rhetoric in order to stay relevant in his increasingly divided, blood thirsty party.
He has been attempting to play politics, and dragging America along for this bumpy ride.
He has been absolutely willing to throw the nation under the bus in order to try to hold on to his position without being ejected
in disgrace by his own party.

It's sad that we all are having to suffer for his glory. This is why our founding fathers designed the nation around the principle of small, limited government, so we cannot be destroyed from the inside out.

Trump's executive order targeting BLM members will net the individuals arrested in the riot at the Capitol a minimum of ten years. They might have got off with half that or less had they not decided to follow a White supremacist.

Gendered pronouns are looked down upon by the left. So these corrections you made are not correct at all, and would not be supported by the left.

When referring to the building = Capitol.

(United States Capitol or US Capitol, often called the Capitol Building. Use an uppercase "C".)

When referring to the city = captial.

(Washington, DC, the U.S. capital, is a compact city on the Potomac River, bordering the states of Maryland and Virginia. Use a lowercase "c".)

The word "capital" also refers to large sums of money (or funding) and an uppercase letter.

Yep. The Lt. Col. is the one who had the best PR agent though.
