Honestly, I don’t think the DCPD & the CPD is going to play around this time with these clowns.
@David Hale A lot of the burning and looting came from right wing agitators.
@David Hale The stupid part here is that you don’t understand what antifa stands for. WWII vets were antifa, go tell one of them that they’re a cult.
The threat of terrorism would be a lot less if they arrest the January 6th insurrectionists that are returning to the capital on September 18th. I’m absolutely positive it is all the same people, including the ones that FBI are posting photos of, that are “wanted”.. the FBI need to be ready and waiting for them..
Do you think they may have a little extra motivation this time around?
They should bring the fences back.
McCarthy is embracing cancel culture as well as the Big Lie
@Albert Mas But the real issue has always been PROOF!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence which you people just cannot seem to cough up. How much longer do you think the charade should be tolerated? 🤦♂️
@Yo Mama So your embarrassed to be called a liberal.. I certainly would be too.
@Jason M Says the CNN sheeple
. Got it…
@Albert Mas Where is your evidence? Trump doesn’t have any. If you do please do Americans a favour and send it to the supreme court.
@Albert Mas Evidence?
yeah crickets.
some 80 lawsuits all tossed out even when the judge was a Trump appointee, due to…wait for it…lack of any credible evidence. Yup.
then the lawyers that filed those bogus lawsuits got themselves disbarred. very nice, except this didn’t go far enough up the food chain to those that called for the bogus lawsuits.
Fascists need serious dealing with or they will destroy America.
@Tee Dogg They’re not murdering people and trying to kidnap governors and running over people. Antifascists are heroes. Fascists are murderous thugs.
@William Parks Stop lying.
@William Parks You just keep proving that you know nothing.
@Reginald Chase Thank Republicans for their blood thirst for war adn love of the Wealthy
100% Like Antifa & BLM. White liberals are most of the problem. Look at Minnesota just the last year or the past four in Liberal cities across America all the looting, rioting,and destruction of public property. Innocent people being shot and killed and many executions of police officers. Ok Media…
If the Proud Boys and other neo facist groups want to protest on the streets of Washington, I say let them come. It might help identify the remaining insirrectionists yet to be arrested so justice can be served.
@HedrenB They didn’t go out with the intention to murder people. Proud Boys do.
@Zj Hawson That means nothing. There were Jewish Nazis. There are also black fascists. They hate themselves.
@Zj Hawson Why do you love to lie?
Canada has OFFICIALLY classified The Proud Boys as a Terrorist Organization based in the United States of America, they are right, check it out.
@Wesley Gordon Antics is not an organization, it’s an attitude.
The biggest problem with these traitors is they aren’t being treated as the traitors they are.
@Dekanogi Ulogilv Staples I don’t know, why are you using an inversion of Igonaked as part of your screenname, and why did you refer to on of the Cherokee blue clans? It’s interesting, I’m curious about why.
@dark14life Bloodthirsty monsters! I bet you would be just like King George too and force your children to watch!
@hungri-yeti TROLL what part of Yemen are you from?
@Scott Davis I hope they send you back to Afghanistan where you came from, no real American 🇺🇸 would want to treat another American that way!
@conehead210 where’s “ conehead “ from China ?
Biggs has got to be one of the biggest clowns to ever darken the halls of congress.
He has plenty of competition
You’d think so, until you thought about all the others who are just as bad.
Good for Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. She’s a very tough cookie. Yup! She will do great as a select committee member! It’s what …she does best. Being a good lawyer. She loves this stuff! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎
She is a war criminal
@Kerry. I’ll take 1 Liz Cheney in trade for 1 Joe Manchin and 1 Adam Kinzinger for 1 Krysten Sinema.
She’s got great hair though.
US Capitol Businesses: Take a page from what Newnan, Georgia did. Shut down all shops, rest rooms and stores within a five mile radius of the demonstration. Block off your parking. Shut down the hotels. Make it obvious that you don’t support racism or white nationalism. The Proud Boys left after half an hour from Newnan, not even staying for their entire 2 hour allotted demonstration. Yes, Newnan is tiny compared to DC, but if you organize now, it could be worth your effort.
Good idea. I also suggest no direct, same day, counter protest as it only draws attention to them and increases volatility.
@B Lee you do know that antifa stands for anti fascist because if you’re not anti fascist you are a fascist. My grandfather went to a huge anti fascist beach party years ago. It was in Normandy.
@G definitely! 👍 they want to start trouble, so they’re really hoping counter protesters show up. Don’t give them the fight they’re looking for!
@Kim C 👍🏼😂
That is a great idea. Racism has no place in this country.
Gotta start locking them up and taking their money away. That’s the only thing they understand.
What do you think the committee is trying to do??
Liberals have been doing that for years….it’s called “Tax and Spend” policy.
@Mike Rieck yawn
The BLM protesters are getting YEARS in jail for, essentially, vandalism.
So all of them are recognizing that it wasn’t Antifa or BLM that attacked but their own? Great.
@muuuuuud I really hope people come to their senses before the 2024 election. Considering what some seem to plan for this month i have my doubts though. About time political discussions come back to a “ok, we don’t agree on this one. let’s have a beer and get over it.” instead of the threat of violence.
@muuuuuud every four years is a clown act, and you’re a supporting role if you believe otherwise.
@Peter Pain it isn’t happening as long as partisans chose to ignore the clear offenses they only see in their opposition… which is bothersome insofar as I don’t see how someone far on any linear scale can represent reality in a world defined by more variables.
I think Director Wray made that clear. He’s one trump appointee I’m glad stayed in his position. Trump very nearly fired him after his appearance. Because he told the truth
@Peter Pain Hey there English person; don’t think for one minute us colonists have forgotten Henry the 8th or King George and how evil they were. Lol. I meant to say we colonists. Stay safe and well over there.
Let’s hope tens of thousands show up. There are plenty of prisons in America.
Let’s put people in prison who actually deserve to be there for a change.
@B Lee
Isn’t science the best thing in the world. LOL.
O okay but not blm rioters? Jail for you opposition party. Hitlers
@Nathan K
Coming from a little Hitler wanna be Lol.
@Grant Johnston Science is awesome. If years of alcohol abuse can do all that, imagine what using meth till your teeth rot out of your skull can do. One of the weirdest things is how Trumpos can be on meth and be seriously obese at the same time. Boggles the mind I tell you.
@Jarry Sciligo
Lol. And you can’t destroy much of their gray mass because they have very little in the first place Lol.
GQP is going to force a reason to bring out the artillery.
We don’t want this but may have to face it, Be prepared!!!
@Allan Pattison yawn..*
@Allan Pattison that’s never going to happen. If you did that you would lose. You are afraid of guns remember?
Artillery is so 20th century. Two words: helicopter gunships. These Rambo wannabe’s tough guys have no idea what’s in store for them.
@Jarry Sciligo Methinks you watch too much TV…
They only way it will stop, is to remove trump and his conmen
@Bradley Denson Nothing to get over. Silly dem.
@mintymus – He is still out spewing the BIG LIE, STUPID!!
@mintymus – How is the weather in Russia today??
And locking tRump up to show he’s being held accountable.
Remove him from what? In 2024 he’ll clean up the democrats mess
To be safe is to arrest and jailed those terrorists organizations with the mad man Steve Bannon
If we start randomly arresting people we will become fascists ourselves. The Constitution must guide the way.
Wasn’t Bannon convicted of fraud? Why do the sheep listen to him?
I disagree.
When they talk violence, they mean “shoot or run over people I don’t like”.
@mintymus That’s why MSNBC is going full Goebbels — the socialists need their scapegoats.
@mintymus aaaahhh you forgot your meds again , didn’t you ?
@Lazarus Jones My “ilk”? If you know of another like me, please let me know!
In the meantime, socialism historically controls all means of reproduction. I’m not a socialist.
@S D
Sorry. Misdirected comment.
@George B. Wolffsohn Nope, you’re confusing me with your communist friends. I don’t use drugs or condone drug use. Don’t worry your delicate little head about me dem, you have enough problems of your own. Orange man bad!
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities”. — Voltaire
He also said “They must consider that great responsibility follows inseparably from great power.”
How very, terrifyingly, true. And in the current ambiance of our nation, we are watching it slowly, though more & more boldly, unfold its self.
@Federalist Papers The BBC is not unbiased. Voltaire was smart. The socialist says anyone can be wealthy but nobody should be poor. The US is rapidly moving further to the right and has more in common with Hitler (Trump has his book “My Struggle” on his bedside table … aka Mein Kampf) and the Taliban than Jesus. Reading the classics would do you a lot of good and as well as Voltaire, I suggest George Orwell, who did a book review of Mein Kampf and also wrote Animal Farm and 1984.
What sort of books do you read?
@fizgizan I think it’s interesting to know what the last book, this type of “person” read …
@Walter Lichtenberg KEEP TELLING TRUTHS!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Troops are back from Afghanistan, looks like time to employ them against these terrorists at home.
@Gerry “Castleman” Warde half?? Man you people are delusional . Let me put it this way. At least 99% of returning servicemen would like nothing more than to eradicate Biden and the whole Democratic Party
@Sam Iam
You are SO wrong! 🤣
@Lazarus Jones where are all of the interviews on CNN/CNBC of returning and ex military who served on the ground in Afghanistan – not behind a desk in DC with a bunch of buttons on the side of their coats and every military contractor on speed dial – who have publicly come out and stated that this was a brilliant tactical military move by Biden and his bunglers ? They ALL hate his guts even more now than when he was (s)elected
@Sam Iam in both 2016 and 2020 primaries, the candidate who got the most donations from servicemen, was Bernie Sanders. And it wasn’t close
@Dean Romanado if that is the case, then no wonder our current military is the laughing stock of the world and no wonder no more allies want to “play war” with us any longer. but hey, at least we are woke.
I would hope that Cheney and Kinzinger would switch to independent soon.
Totally
I don’t believe that they will. Both are passionate conservative voices, and decidedly to the right of most. Independent voices to date are way left of most (Bernie Sanders I-VT).
@Catrasho 1 congresscritter (Andy Briggs FGS) has requested that they be removed from the Conference. Slow down, already!
@Neill Conroy Maybe Libertarian?
@The Doctor Libertarians can’t decide where to sit, let alone why. So I don’t see them in that crowd, although politics make for strange bedfellows.
After all, the etymology of politics comes from poli, a prefix meaning many, and from tics, nasty little critters which have no beneficial purpose.
Much as I may not like Cheney’s politics, at the moment I’m glad she at least is holding to some principals and is actually trying to hold folks accountable for their actions.
Principles*
I don’t like her politics either but, she DOES have great hair!
“1,000 attacks, each of them punishable by 10 years.” And we get house arrests and 8 month sentences…
@Marvin Martion
10 years in some shitehole prison so that nobody even remembers they were born is better.
If you are BLACK or NOT a Chumpanzie.. OTHERWISE it looks to me like TRUMP “is the chosen one” as he stated his first few months in office.. He can do ANYTHING>>>and WE (DEMS) do nothing!!!!!
It is disappointing. MORE than 10 years is needed.
@Gerry “Castleman” Warde They do not control sentencing, do they?
@berretta9mm1 remember Waco
