    1. Wouldn’t a better strategy be to register Republican, and primary out those who supported the insurrection? There are a lot of Independent voters, who could become Republicans just to reform that party, and vote out all the Qanon crackpots.

    2. @Don Lowe Steal?… Don…I thought this was the most legitimate election ever! That’s what MSNBC told me

    1. @adat smith How many police lost an eyeball in that one? How many police were maimed for life by AOC’s group. Yeah, thought so. Thanks for playing.

  1. What about Trump ?

    Only the Little Fish 🤷‍♀️
    We all Saw the Video of Trump Inciting
    the Mob to Attack Congress. 😤

    1. Maybe one of the people they arrest will turn in their group’s leader. Forget about the stuff trump said on TV. Trump could have direct ties to some of these guys.

    2. Sedition: Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a State or Monarch.

      FORMER President Donald J Trump needs to be charged with Sedition for inciting a Domestic Terrorist Attack on the Capital Building on January 6th 2021.

  2. Ben Laden and Al Qaeda thought their hearts were in the right place also..
    Normal tourist don’t terrorizes our and ransack our instutions,
    A sucker supported Trump in 2016
    A loser supporter trump in 2020
    :
    A traitor supports trump in 2021.

    2. @adat smith No matter how often you try, the BLM protests will never be the same as the Capitol riot. Trying to overthrow the legally constituted government is orders of magnitude more serious to the nation as a whole than all of the incidents at all of the BLM protests put together.

      All of you defenders of the Capitol insurrectionist defenders insist on ignoring the fact that thousands of BLM protesters were arrested, some are still in jail. And that much of the worst violence in the BLM protests have been *PROVEN* to be false flag operations carried out by white supremacists operators unlike the false claims about BLM / Antifa at the Capitol.

      And, yes, just like the Capitol rioters, any of the BLM protesters that committed crimes should be, and many will be, prosecuted for violence or damage also.

    2. @Easy Money …but not for insurrection as the capitol rioters and the congressional and presidential enablers should be.

  3. If Manchin ever wants to get elected again, he better support voting rights, when it counts. I don’t mean just in terms of him being primaried. I mean in terms of voters in his party being able to access the ballot!

  4. The republican party may have been salvageable if McCain or one of the other remotely decent ones were still there but now that they are either dead or retired, what is left of the party has gone full-Q. They are beyond the reach of reason.

    1. I didnt support his politics but I admired and respected John McCain, after that orange coward said what he said about John the republicans should have disowned him

    1. And you are expecting that the center-right Dems that attend the same black tie affairs as they do will somehow do what they never did in the past?

    2. @Andrew_Owens in fact, I do expect them to…. even Gosar’s family put out tv ads calling him a traitor and disowning him… I am sure he is on DoJs list…

  5. The GQP “tourists” did $30 million in damage and injured 140 law-enforcement officers in the name of Trump’s Big Lie. The main person who should be paying for this is Trump himself.

    1. He and his fellow seditionists should pay quintuple damages. Surplus could pay for new museum in DC: Center For Study of Democracy.

  6. “I’m out!” (what’s that? Idiots still support Trump?) “I’m back in” – Lindsey Graham.

    1. Just saw that the GOP Republican Mo Brooks funded the insurrection. I been saying they funded it

    2. @krash Kb OMG!!! If Mo Brooks funded the insurrection, do did other Republicans! That’s why Republicans don’t want an investigation! Lindsey Graham is the wishy-washist representative in the whole government!! How he is still employed by the government, boggles the mind!!

    1. They would like N.Korea. Over there, their Dear Leader gets 99% of the vote, every time, guaranteed.

    2. Nobody wants them
      Maybe just move them all to Florida
      Install a ditch put up a big wall
      They can be with dear leader that way
      We don’t need florida anyway besides it’s going to flood anyway

    1. No one needs to accept forgiveness., but you should still offer it. Msnbc deserves forgiveness for 4 years of lying, but still they need to be punished.

    2. @MrDiscostu4u what a joke

      Stop watching then🤷🏻‍♀️

      go ahead , send dt 🤑👹 another donation….I’m sure he is happily grabbing everything he can get a hold of

  7. Why would our government allow Trump to step out on a rally stage after he called an Insurrection on January 6th

  8. That excerpt from “The Atlantic” is the best summary and analysis of our current political crisis that I have seen so far.

  9. “their hearts were in the right place” should be in every Democrat campaign ad. The Republican Party = Seditionist Party
