What strikes me as funny is that the Left is now Pro Law Enforcement... After spending half of 2020 defunding the police and blaming cops for all the problems in the United States and basically, all the problems on this planet.

News Flash!! Most cops will uphold the law, but many don’t really care for the Left or their ideals at this point.

I'm not sure if i can see any relation between Nuremberg Trials to convict international war criminals has anything to do with American law enforcement enforcing/not enforcing domestic law.

FYI: Nuremberg Trial only go after high ranking Nazis officials, not the low ranking enlisted and officers in the German military

The reason this is a silly observation is that the whole crowd went with the supposed antifa imposters from the white house to the capitol.

All you are saying here is that the Trump supporters were easily duped and influenced by these Antifa "imposters".

the crowd as a whole was not violent at all. there is a possibility they had antifa people mixed in. trump supporters are not violent like antifa and blm. some find them entering is not violent and their right. obviously, any violence would be wrong.

violence was not their intent but to delay or stop the certifying the electoral vote.

They used violence to delay or stop the certifying of the vote..they pushed through barricades and cops, threw projectiles at cops. They succeeded in stopping the certification through violent action. they wanted to overturn a legally held election through violence. That by definition is a violent coup.

After 4 + years of the news media constantly showing great levels of unhinged hatred and paranoia against Trump, after throwing the election, people had finally had enough of the political/media complex telling them what reality was. Trump will not resign.

this event was to use an excuse to take more of your rights.

rumors are they will use this to expand the patriot act.

The united states is 1000 times more corrupt than you think.
Someone’s tweet is proof of nothing. The Capitol police were overwhelmed. What if they had begun shooting? There would have been a bloodbath! They should have had reinforced security. I am sure there will be an investigationmofbthe Capitol police, and we’ll find out more.

Lay blame where it belongs! Lay it at the feet of the president and with the gullible rioters, who I hope will be identified from footage and prosecuted.

I must have missed it when these people attempted to impose THEIR OWN govt.


According to what I saw, they didnt do anything but sit and stand around for a very brief period of time, heck, within hours, they were all gone!



Not really a 'coup' imo. lol
