Oh no when violence broke out this summer with BLM protests due to ANTIFA or some other boogie man group infiltrating the legitimate protesters the right screamed "look how they riot"! But now that its the other side you say "Republicans just want to be heard" and that "ANTIFA is there just to cause violence."

Those are right wing rioters dressed and armed to make a stand for Fearless Leader this wasn't some riff raff mixing in with "Republicans just want to be heard,". They're your rioters own them....

I truly believe this is the end of his grip on the party. His threats to primary Republicans who don't follow him ring hollow now. He doesn't hold the majority of even Republicans anymore.

Disgusted, but unsurprised by the spectacle that has unfolded at the Capitol and throughout America over the course of 2020.

This has been building for decades as Congress has exploited and/or ignored large segments of America for power and personal gain.

It is only going to get worse.

I fully support a protest at the capitol. I don’t support violence. I don’t support the police shooting unarmed protestors. This is ugly on all sides.

Thankfully, there are cooler Republican heads including VP Pence and Republican members of Congress. I would hope he could be removed. We need adults to get us through this Pandemic and help people back to work. This is so shameful that a President would encourage this attack upon our Capitol.
Stop with your self righteousness...Ever hear of fight for what is right? There was war in heaven when Satan wanted to be higher than God because he wanted the power. God kicked him out and one third of the angels went with him. The left wanted power so badly they took it through fraud.



If we didn't fight , we would all be speaking German today. If this continues we will be global citizens and will be run by socialist communists who will tax everything we own and take it from us.

Now you are stewing in your own juices and you all of a sudden don't like violence. How convenient. And you know what, I'm sitting here laughing. Not because there is violence or that I like violence. Nope. I'm laughing because you hypocrites are getting a taste of your own medicine and you don't seem to like it. Picture yourself in the frame of mind you were in last summer when morons were burning and taking over cities, and now picture yourself today as you watch pyssed off people revolting. And then ask yourself why one is okay and the other is not.

Kind of like the folks that took over part of Seattle last summer and declared it another nation? Anything AT ALL LIKE THAT?

You people have no justification in whining about any of this. You loved it last summer. So love it now. Enjoy it.

Thank you. I 100% respect what you're saying even if I don't agree 100% with your political preferences.

I just want to get back to the point where politics gets more boring again and the debate between Republicans and Democrats is whether to stimulate the economy by direct rebates to taxpayers or investments in infrastructure and education.

I can respect that but I absolutely don't respect what's going, who's driving it, or why they're doing it.

It is that obama who spent his time in the White House looking down his nose at L.E., sending coded messages to his folks to cry about unfounded abuse which incited the deaths of many peace officers - he started America down the dark path of protest. Prosecuting President Donald Trump will not solve the problem given birth to by obama/biden, clintons, rice, and that group of thugs. You can't solve a problem unless you first define it; obama.

Where were all those dems for the past year as rioting thugs burned our cities, rioted, and murdered innocent people? Different standards depending on who is stirring the chaos!
