redstate.com is considered extremist far-right and is known for posting fake news stories and pushing conspiracy theories that have been proven false.

I'd believe this story if it was on Fox News, but anything posted on redstate.com should not be believed.
Fox news has already been proven to be lock step in fabrications and falsity. Even it's owner testified they are an entertainment form of media. Akin to the three stooges.

Not familiar with this politician. Sounds as if he has some reasonable goals.

I'd expect nothing less from our friends on the far left. Irredeemably partisan and short sighted.
Snap out of it Bobby.
Do you even know what 'sacking' means? Items of all kinds were stolen from the Capitol. There was heavy damage inside and outside.

The FBI certainly knows what 'sacking' means; they're still busy finding, arresting, and charging the vandals in the mob that did it.

It's not propaganda, Bobby. You and I both saw the events of that terrible day and the aftermath after the mob had dissipated.

Don't try to justify it for the fool who was a bad loser. He's not worth it.

Yeah, I just explained it earlier, which is why it doesn't apply.

Sacking a city is done by a military force of some kind and it involves the conquering of a city and then pillaging and destroying it.


It's not a group of protesters going into buildings they aren't supposed to for a little while and nabbing a few things before going home.

You fail the NPC test when you attempt to suggest otherwise.

If your ridiculous definitions are used, it means BLM rioters and Antifa terrorist cells have been sacking cities in the US almost daily for over a year now.

Break free from the propaganda killer, you can do it.

In remarks obtained by The Intercept, Manchin said he would consider lowering the threshold to beat the filibuster or forcing the minority to show up on the Senate floor in large enough numbers to maintain a filibutser.

That would not end the fillibuster. Some people would just have to show up. Nothingburger.

While injuring 140 police officers, killing one. Trampling a woman to death while she was carrying a flag that said don't tread on me! You can't make this stuff up, truth is stranger than fiction.

Besides the thievery and the damage and soiling, some of these people dared to carry dangerous items which they apparently intended to use.

One of them actually zapped himself in the nuts with a taser, and it killed him. Whom was he intending to use this device on? What possible excuse can you make for him to bring it into the halls of congress?

Since the disgraceful attack two of our police officers ended their own lives.

... and you describe it like a casual stroll beyond velvet ropes!

The protesters killed no one, the only homicide that day was a cop shooting an unarmed woman.

When you can't help but lie, it shows how flimsy the propaganda you are attempting to defend really is.

The protest wasn't entirely peaceful but compared to a normal night of protesting in Portland or an average BLM riot, it was nothing.

The Rs blocking the commission was the last straw for a lot of people when it comes to the filibuster.
And the Ds blocked the commission on the Summer of Love riots that caused 2 billion in damage and 35 deaths.

Obviously it's a political charade.

Certainly you wouldn't fall for that, would you?

Joe Manchin Phone Call Leaks and It Has Massive Implications

..A leaked phone call between Joe Manchin and a political advocacy group reveals the machinations being attempted by the West Virginian senator behind the scenes. Not only is Manchin signaling he’s open to abolishing the filibuster, but he’s also targeting specific Republicans to try to get the so-called January 6th commission passed...
Best news I've heard all week!
