    Yup.

    Trump incited this riot (which is a Federal Offense) and he needs to resign.

    Congress Members (and heir staffs) were literally hiding under desks fearing for their lives.

    Apparently, when questioned about the Vandalism, destruction, and breaching of offices, etc.--The Capitol Police are claiming that they were overwhelmed and had to prioritize the personal safety of the people in the building over any possible property damage.

    Imagine if these were foreign terrorists?

    They would have been blown away.

    But, b/c they are Trump-supporting Domestic Terrorists, they get a pass.

    That story about Rep. Linda Sanchez telling her husband (last night) to locate her will is chilling.

    Everybody KNEW that something like this was possible
    .
    Hard to imagine that Law Enforcement (pre-emptively) failed so massively.

    Some DC store owners stated they knew of this possibility long before today because of all the chatter they were seeing on social media. According to them, this was a planned event, and they’re shocked that the police weren’t better prepared.

    Not one. First, no one has been charged yet. Second, none of these people have any power, so they mean nothing to Dirty Donnie the Superspreader Seditionist Swamp thing.

    That post didn't age well.

    (Like most of the Twitter Posts that come from the Tomi Lahren (a Braindead Trump MORON)).

    We need to signal boost this and all similar posts about "You don't see the right doing this!"

    It was the most massive failure of law enforcement (Who KNEW this was possible) in American History.

    More massive than Portland being taken over for a month? More massive than 6 straight months of riots in Minny, Philly, etc? I agree with you though. What's the one thing all these cities have in common?

    Just imagine the reaction from the radical right here if these "protesters" had all been black.

    Think about that for a second.

    It's more what he didn't say. He sat back and let his followers storm the capitol hill. Didn't say anything on twitter for 2 hours. Imagine a president staying mum for 2 hours while the state capitol was invaded by a bunch of terrorists.

    Yea he said to go home followed by a minute of whining about election fraud and telling his supporters they're loved. Doesn't sound like condemnation to me.

    Yeah.

    I bet if you had the correct algorithm to scan posts at PF...
    ... the posts that "Didn't Age Well" (at PF) would come Overwhelmingly from the Pro-Trump RW...
    (Many of whom, seem to have gone AWOL since the Biden's Landslide Win).

    And I'm glad nobody finds it odd that one of the most guarded buildings in the country, with every single member of Congress in it, was overrun by 10-15 unarmed people.

    Another forum I like is cleaning house to get rid of Republicans. When I served in the Army in Germany, this reminds me of one of the old Hitler purges.

    We already know he's not through several recounts. In fact, this isn't even a close election.

    Which makes these clowns at the capitol seem even more pathetic.

    Obviously.

    It is The Capitol.

    NO "Equivalency" whatsoever.

    Give me a break.:bored:
