Seriously....FUCK "justified" today....there should be PILES of dead traitors right fucking now...they should have been shot with street sweepers and automatic weapons when they stormed to entrances...

Seriously, there is no question that these people rioting and breaking into the Capitol should have ALL been ended already.

I can’t believe they let it get this far! Only white Trumpies could do this. Also, the Coup enabler in chief is providing no assistance.
