As Trump Leaves WH, New Evidence Highlights Republican Support For Capitol Siege

    1. His pic also appears under “wuss.” ‘Cause he’s too chicken sh*t to defend his own wife against Trump’s insults.

    2. @justamusta i was just gonna say that. 😆😆😆
      And then he goes on tv to lick president Bonespur’s boots.
      Grows out his beard to look like a tough guy. What a joke. Spineless.

    3. Actually, you’d see Mitch McConnells photo instead, he’s the true virus of congress! He switches parties every other day.

  1. Almost every president has occasionally engaged in hyperbole, lying, corner-cutting, or press-bashing, though none have done so daily, if not hourly, until now. One lie does not undermine democracy, but 25,000+ lies can. One governmental reversal in court is not tyranny, but scores of such defeats reveal an administration at odds with the constitutional injunction to “faithfully execute  the laws.”

    If we added up the anti-democracy maneuvers of the prior 10 presidents over the past 60 years, they wouldn’t equal Trump alone in under four years—indeed, if you compare the eight close associates of Trump convicted or indicted in his almost-one term of office, that would again exceed those of all presidents combined (excepting Watergate felons) from Kennedy to Obama..

    Trump has done considerable damage to America’s democratic institutions, and  brought the nation to the brink of civil catastrophe. Trump is an emotionally and psychologically wounded sociopath, who in-turn, has left America grievously wounded out of sheer spite. And he was demanding a 2nd term in order to finish her off.

    No one should ever get a second chance to destroy our Constitution, and our 244 year old democratic republic.

    1. @Sam Harris sorry pal what has been made painfully obvious is the mental deficiency of those who follow right wing propaganda!”” Election integrity?” Voter fraud ?” Exactly how much time did you spend asking why all those bills drafted by the house to increase voter integrity we’re shot down by the Senate ?” Refusing to draft not a one !”” Now if you and all those other stop the steal MAGA’S really were concerned about integrity you first would ask why it wasn’t addressed before the election ,and why ” YOUR “party refused such a common sense action !””””

    1. @R there more?
      I don’t think his neighbors in Florida are gonna let him chill there, at least not for more than 21 days a year.
      And I believe New York State is going to be harshing his mellow too.
      Lol

      did you study history is everyone that dumb down now Really

    2. @David Cohen How would you like it if idiots told you what you will publish under your name?

      When was the last time a newspaper was sued for not running someone’s letter to the editor or an opinion peace because it’s against their freedom of speech? Anyone can make any publisher or newspaper run their stories regardless of content?

      It’s no different online. Say what you want. You can’t force someone to say it for you!

    3. @David Cohen You are Israeli aren’t you? Nothing wrong with that at all but, your sentence structure and paragraph spacing reminds me of someone who is translating from Hebrew. Combined with the most generic Jewish name known to man.

      Don’t get all cranky. I’m Jewish too.

    4. Why are you still talking about him??? I thought he’s irrelevant? Talk about your installed “president” if it wasn’t for COVID, he would have had no chance of using mail in voting which helped him gain an illegal advantage over the most loved president in US history, DONALD J TRUMP

    5. @Jason Milton you were never a republican in the first place, just a confused beta man with childish feelings

    1. His sign off “you coulda been anywhere in the world” is a Jay Z quote/lyric from Izzo, they refrence rap all the time. Ari is a real G.

    2. @Crymson Nite he always brings in Hip Hop to his show “If you don’t know now you know” Biggy or when he referenced Mobb Deep “ain’t no such thing as half way crooks”

  2. The best part is how they are so ready to turn on someone, that they cannot even decipher information in front of them.
    Stupid is as stupid does.

    1. Yes, at 1:31 when one reads that Ted Cruz objected to the Arizona vote and says “he was going to sell us out all along” and then they have to correct him and point out that Ted is with them.

  3. Of course the great “christian” Cruz is afraid to lose their support. He didn’t even stand up for his wife when tRump called her ugly.

    How in the world do these adult ‘churchgoers’ think they’re doing the right thing?

  4. Businesses and donor’s not only should pull out from Trump they need to pull out from Congress that support insurrection. Bc if they support insurrection they don’t support Country or Democracy.

    1. I think you are hoping for a massive national witch hunt and may get it. So I say your cult was never satisfied with destroying just one man who was the freedom candidate and the promise keeper

    2. @Sam Harris I say if you actually believe this you are an imbecile. So the freedom candidate wanted his thugs to intimidate the houses of congress into overturning a free and fair election? Seems legit. And you claiming anyone else is in a cult is rich, google ’10 signs your loved one is in a cult’, you MAGA lunatics literally tick every box. Trump is your Jim Jones and the election fraud myth is your Kool-Aid. Blind obedience to a man, any man, is sure fire recipe for disaster. Blind allegiance to this man, is quite frankly ludicrous. More than 20,000 fact checked lies. Had you got your way there would not be a free man in the country. Many democrats, independents and moderate republicans did not so much vote FOR Biden as AGAINST the Tangerine Tyrant. A doorstop would have quite literally made a better president than Teflon Don. Cruz, Hawley, Graham, and above all the Liar in Chief have sold out democracy, and now, they WILL pay the price.

    1. @Shawn Murray intelligence from the FBI was reported to the Sargeant at arms of the House. Guess who _he_ reports to. *Pelosi.* Did you even read the article? She declined backup from the National Guard because she used the excuse of “bad optics” to keep defense low.

    2. @Vasil Svolopoulos I don’t usually agree with anything trumpers say but pelosi is evil. And I’m ready for her and few others to leave Congress. Time for term limits

    3. @Megan Lowery Gonna have a shocking few days ahead. Make sure you have reserves at home to lay low for a few days if need be. All will make sense in a few days. Maybe you’ll get your wish. 😉

    1. Lying Ted Cruz has been talking about Texas secede since Obama was elected in 2008 … he should really be send back to Cuba with his family .
