    This is a terrible part of American history and we all saw it coming.  (except, apparently, all the police on th capitol.)
    It's not the police's fault.  Every single officer was on duty today.  Same with the Capitol and Park police. There were just not enough.

    This is NOT AT ALL to imply that all that happened today was ok. A crazy radical group overtook our nation’s capital. 

    I do, however, ponder, given the extreme political volatility in these times, if the shoe were on the other foot, and Trump had won the election, would a similar protest and riot event have been carried out by another opposite extremist group? 🤔
    Look at 2016 for your answer.

    Back at it and McConnell stating they won't be intimidated.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Let's see Mitch yearn for bipartisanship again.

    And if and when all these people that were going to object the results during the count all of a sudden don’t now, the fucking Dems should never let the Republicans live it down. Ever. Evvvvveerrrr. Every debate, every commercial - just pivot pivot pivot back to it all day long.
    If I am a politician running against the group of Republicans that said they planned on protesting the certification, I am plastering images of what happened today all over the internet, TV and any other platform I can find to remind voters of what they stood for and were responsible for.

    Trump supporters are so dumb they would have rioted even with Trump winning.
    True... Just like this dumb ass...

    What Dems need to do better is run the appropriate candidates in any district by listening to their respective local leaders. If they do that, plus just rail on this all day long they can run candidates against Cruz, Paul, Hawley, etc, anyone.

    I remember a time, oh could it be last year, when I got PM:s asking me if I was a russian agent undermining the US democracy on a rock bands messaging board (I was a paying member of since like 2005), for describing and debating the US and its systemic flaws negatively compared to the (better working) nordic countries in Europe. 

    Now a former US President himself describes the US a "banana republic" and to my knowledge a crazy banana-republic coup attempt fueled by the President himself is not underway in Denmark or Finland.

    Maybe a public apology by that individual for suggesting that debating that the US is a way less working nation than the nordic countries means you must be a russian troll and not a sound thinking individual, would be in order?
    with all due respect, right now is not the time to call out a poster who allegedly wronged you in a PM. get a grip, man.
    Yeah, no shit.

    Strange day all around.

    Dude...Seriously..You saw what police departments across the country did in response to people walking down the street in solidarity for racial justice.  There are videos of the police opening barricades for these looney tunes.  Did they run out of teargas, rubber bullets riot geat and brutality?  It absolutely was a short falling of the police.  

    White Supremacy and White Privilege in this country are out of control.  It ain't no lie "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" is a reality, but it is a lot more than some. Joy Ann is spot on.  If this was anything other than a mob of white terrorists there would be violence mass arrests and police brutality.  All these people should be arrested...13 arrests..what a shithole country.  Truly two systems of justice at play.

    Fuck Moscow Mitchy Baby.

    Chuck needs to buttonhole Susan Collins and Claire McCaskill and get them to switch sides. They’re in their final terms and don’t identify with Moscow Mitchy Baby’s Tricky Team Trump TREASON Tax Cheat’s party. Why not flip?

    1. voting for Donald Trump = actively supporting racism

    2. The intruders being black = the police would have acted differently.

    I think if Biden wants to gain points with Rs and show some good political koombayas he could do so by appointing Collins to his administration......





    ....then seat a fucking Dem in her place.
