ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE AT THE CAPITOL!

[lester1/2jr]

Trumps approval among republicans was and is still very high.

^ Only those who shine his knob.
Not Republicans. In Name Only.
I can call myself Napoleon- doesn't mean it's so.
Unless the party wants to be known as the Trump party.

Off topic- Here's something cool for the Ted Cruz fan in your life- a beer tap knob!


( And that there beer is from Texas, pilgrim!)

...Your not a Republican.

"we represent the Lollipop Kids-!"

Sherrill, a New Jersey Democrat, believes that Congress members may have played a role in aiding the insurrections, allowing them to gather a layout of the building just a day before the vigilanties stormed the grounds.

Ok. It's interesting that some Republicans gave tours of the Capital, but saying that they were some sort of vanguards for Trump supporters is going too far; it's boarder line conspiracy theory stuff, on par with Trump saying the election was rigged. Investigate if you must, but don't go off half-cocked accusing anyone.

I don't know why I'm writing this; I just feel like everything, all the energy, life, joy, has been taken out of me...this madness must stop. But I don't know how it will. 

Hopefully what I've said here isn't offensive; I don't mean it to be. The division in this country just saps me, & I'm having trouble seeing us come together again.

On the plus side, just about everyone I meet is nice.

Cheer up, man. Things have been bad before. I was raised during Vietnam, Nixon, the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK, race riots- none of this is new. I'm still alive.
And I feel fine and f**king dandy.

Thank you, RC. Your comment helps a little.

Tim Rice, R-South Carolina:

""Once the violence began, when the Capitol was under siege, when the Capitol Police were being beaten and killed, and when the Vice President and the Congress were being locked down, the President was watching and tweeted about the Vice President's lack of courage.  For hours while the riot continued, the President communicated only on Twitter and offered only weak requests for restraint ...
... It has been a week since so many were injured, the United States Capitol was ransacked, and six people were killed, including two police officers. Yet, the President has not addressed the nation to ask for calm. He has not visited the injured and grieving. He has not offered condolences. Yesterday in a press briefing at the border, he said his comments were 'perfectly appropriate.'"

"...angered and appalled millions of Americans..."

[Allhallowsday]

the election fraud thing was Trump's iraq war: a gambit that failed. His legacy was chaotic but normal on Nov 1. just an unusually disruptive republican.  it went downhill fast after that

Bulls**t. This guy is NOT representitive of most  Republicans- just most morons.
Indy is a Republican. These guys are Trumpers- BIG difference, my friend.

I dig this mainly because I'm not impressed by all the money my retirement savings has made!

The government doesn't care about the American people or businesses only their safety!

Riots have happened many times in the long history of this country. 

What happened at the Capitol is unprecedented.  All of the members of Congress are OUR elected officials.  That does not mean they ARE NOT there to represent you, or me, or US.  Many of us become impatient and disgusted by politicians; that does not mean we can summarily threaten them with death.
