And added an “ing” to the end. He’ll be getting a letter from the FCC and be proud of it.

Joe also said there were Capital Hill police officers patting terrorists on the back and some opened doors for them.

They need to be held just as accountable as those terrorists who attacked our government. Accessory!

He obviously thought this was his path to going on to bigger things than Missouri. Gross miscalculation as demographics continue to change in all key swing areas.

There's always that so long as Fox and Newsmax and the others twist facts, reliant on innuendo for ratings. The odds are that there will be two distinct and polar opposite retrospectives on the events of 1/6/2021 in a too short future.

All that said to aver how there will be very little political damage to those associated with and supportive of the insurrection. Quite the opposite, actually. Every fine and every trial and every imprisonment will generate veneration, resulting in someone's martyrdom because there's money and power in marketing to enthusiastic consumers.

We are not a polite society today, if ever we were. The people have betrayed and been betrayed too often. Trained too many soldiers only to let them loose, unmoored, after their usefulness date. Silly, shortsighted clods didn't notice that the tribe was going mad.

The question is, will good people allow the Banana Republicans and their enablers to try and sweep this under the rug or engage in whataboutism to make a wrong comparison to BLM protests.

Behind the scenes all agencies, including capital police, must be purged of Trumpists. Biden's people have to hire and train their own people.

of the show until he erupted. IMO, we can all be outraged, but that won't stop it. Trump has to go. Immediately. I'd like to see a 24 hour impeachment so he could never think of running again. Otherwise, we're going to be dogged by this asshole until he dies. As for the rest of them - identify, charge, arrest, fine and imprison. No exceptions. I don't care if it's a 90 year old granny in her MAGA hat inside the Capitol. Charge her.

if one of the traitors that opened the barricade and then the front door is a 20 year veteran of the police force and has three citations for bravery. Fire and prosecute! Otherwise, we might as well just let that screaming cheeto rule for life while enjoying the 'white' life.
