is unforgivable. They should never have been allowed to enter. It looks like they trashed and stole stuff and got into emails. I never thought I'd live to see this. The lot of them need to be charged with insurrection along with the fucking cops who were taking selfies and letting this happen. I'm sickened with outrage.

Tearing the American flag down on the United States capitol building and putting up the flag of fascist Trump?

No quarter for these bastards.

If the people protesting, not rioting like the MAGAs were black, most of them would be dead by now, and those still alive would under arrest and facing decades in prison.

Not that the flag means anything to them.

They only stand to rake in more money by the actions and deaths caused by this.
These MAGAs (who were once Tea Baggers) are so fucking stupid.
