Now they have an issue with protesting?

It was mostly peaceful.

Funny how those calling to defund the police call in the DC police, Va state troopers, FBI & National Guard to protect them.
Wrong

It was not peaceful at all.

A woman was murdered. The blood is on the maga rioters

Law enforcement was attacked

The capital was evacuated

They broke windows and climbed walls

They destroyed property

There were pipe bombs and guns

Many are asking, how could this happen in the nation's capitol?
Why did it happen?
It happened because many feel this election was based on fraud.

Not only in politics, but in every day life, people get annoyed at many things that they feel helpless to solve, and that leads to frustration, which sometimes leads to striking out at those we feel are responsible.
I believe this is what happened today in Washington DC.
Since the election, supporters of the president have seen the courts, state, as well as federal, including the supreme court, dismiss claims of fraud, without even considering any evidence presented.
Most, if not all these claims were dismissed on technicalities, not for lack of evidence.
No wonder these people are frustrated.

I do not blame the people in these protest today, I blame the courts, and state legislatures for what happened in our nation's capitol today.
You can only be pushed so far, then you are only left with striking out in anguish, which is exactly what happened today.

I believe the American people were subjected to the greatest, and well planned, deceitful, election fraud ever in this country, while those in a position to act on it, stood by and did nothing.
Then we wonder why things like this protest today happen at all.

So many spoke today and repeated the words, "this is not who we are", "this is not who America is".
To that I answer, "voter fraud is not who we are".
"Voter fraud is not what America is"
Yet it happened in this country, and I would hope going forward, that the courts will be more respective of their sworn duties and not rely on party politics.
Yada yada yada.

What happened today is Trump's legacy. He told his lapdogs to fight and look what happened. Then after the urging of his minions, he tells them he loves them and to go home. He should be reimpeached and convicted.

If antifa or BLM had broken into the capital building today to interrupt a vote their would have been a bloodbath.


Think about that next time you share your "feelings"

A man beats his wife. He did it because he accused her of cheating. Of course he had no proof. You would blame the woman for being beaten.

Default How Soon We All Forget...

Remember this, kiddies? Of course you don't.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/215460...-election-win/



Question for all you good little leftists who suddenly support law and order:

How will you feel when effigies of Biden or Harris are burned in the streets? How will you feel when certain elements of the media call for overthrow? How will you feel when authors write books about killing Biden? How will you feel when artists paint pictures of decapitated and drawn-and-quartered Bidens and Harris'???

My prediction is that you will feel one hundred eighty degrees different than you did four years ago about your newly elected president of the time.

Can you say hypocrisy?


(and please don't give me any bull**** about the source. The photos are there for all to see and they speak for themselves)

Tell us how many times thugs have broken into and invaded your workplace, interrupted the most important committee meeting of the year, forcing you and your coworkers to hide in fear of your lives, while they break your windows and doors, randomly shoot off pepper spray, steal your office furniture, prop their booted feet on your antique desk, steal your important papers, dump others on your office floor, attack police attempting to come to your aid, use antique statues of American patriots as their private jungle gyms, and threaten you and your coworkers with mock trials followed by immediate "execution" by hanging on the gallows they erected outside your office.

Then we can talk about security and protection.

That's been clear before and crystal clear by this inability to find the videos we have all seen,
