Is anyone surprised? Anyone?

Did they really think they could make it to January 20th?

How many times did they need to be warned?

It is anarchy. It is an insurrection. It is treason. It is terrorism.

Even if they tried to impeach him, they could not convict.

That is where we are at this moment.

We would have seen violence if Biden was named victorious early on Nov. 3rd.

I knew it was just a matter of time and opportunity.

The knot in my stomach, the night he was announced as the winner of the election, never went away.

in full view of the cameras that were all over, who the traitors are. Can't refute video evidence of their seditious crimes now so easily. Biden needs to be tough, very tough.

I suggested that antifa and all the other liberal groups stay home. Duh. It would have been better to defend due process and the rule of law.

Someone needs to suggest that they all hustle over to the WH and protect their leader. He will probably allow them to have their photos taken at "the beautiful Resolute Desk." Big Macs and Diet Coke for everyone!
