To those that believe Trump was involved in the attempt to overthrow the Govt...how does it feel knowing you tax dollars are going to protect him right now?
I'm good with it.

A sitting president should never be without protection. That's not who we are, whether we despise his policies and personality.

But are they at the White House? I know they're at the Capitol.


And here's the commentary from one family of a National Guard member. Some of them don't have enough money for the correct tactical gear, they're not allowed to drink coffee, they're sleeping on the floor, they're having to buy their own meals at convenience stores because of the lack of food, there's no laundry service.

Really? Can't we do better than THIS??

Exactly. They think Trump just happened, he was a reaction to policies that have long since been touted. Our complaints have been ignored and unrecognized for quite some time. I always wished it was someone else with less personal flaws to carry the torch.

He gives orders and they follow.
Shows how little you understand. We are for free trade, ACTUAL FREE TRADE. Not heavy handed workforce and environmental regulations that are only enforced shorside, forcing the offshoring of tens of millions of jobs and stifling wages. You probably think this doesn't affect you, so you refuse to legitimize our complaints, instead you twist our words and logic to suit your point of view.

Oh no! Your hate is showing! I remember growing up in all black neighborhoods, I was the "white trash cracker" who people like you threw into the trash can, hung my shoes on the telephone lines, and spit in my face/jumped me on the daily. Your politically correct hate/resentment disgusts me.

I cant wait for the day the pendulum swings back, and you will feel our wrath.

Our govt has not represented the will of the people for quite some time imo....the Constitution demands citizens to step up when this happens.

Trump has been a kon man for decades. Well-known to be a pathological liar. Will throw anyone under the bus. His latest: he's directed his team to not pay Rudy's bills. Typical behavior for the grifter in chief. He's had 6 bankruptcies so far, yet people think he's a brilliant biz man. He conned millions of people, told them what they wanted to hear, and they bought it.

He is a hateful, spiteful, man-child. His followers love that he brings chaos and dissension -- they think that's actually doing something useful. He signed a bunch of E.O. over the years, which have no real teeth to them, but his followers were too uneducated to realize that. His mentor is Steve Bannon - a drunkard who hates 'murica and wants nothing more than to destroy democracy.

Trump will go down in history as the worst U.S. president, worse than Andrew Johnson, and worse than Nixon by far.

Don't make assumptions..... But. You proved my point.

You see the success of educated minorities and think that you deserve what they worked hard for.

Your wrath was felt in downtown Nashville and Charlotsville and the capital. We know what your wrath feels like..... All patriotic Americans have spoken up and are sweeping y'all into the dustbins of history

See. That didn't even take long. When Trump figures out how to have press conferences I'm sure the marching orders will come and we shall see what the NEW MAGA policy will be.
