    1. If the corrupt Washington D.C. swamp does not get their act together. It will burn once again. Hardworking tax paying law abiding citizens have had enough. That goes for both Democrats AND republicans. People have had enough of the corrupt bs.

  1. Trillion dollar defense budget and some rag tag would-be militia members successfully stormed our Capitol??

    A joke.

    1. Bro they are your citizens if firing happened u would have been the same guy who would have said

      Omg …citizens dead lmao

    2. @Debbie Nesbitt Well it definitely seems strange how they were able to walk in so easily without any real attempts to stop them.

    3. @Amartyaa Sengupta THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS!!! They attacked a federal building. That is an act of fucking rebellion. They’ve done worse to better people.

  2. Good for Rep Jason Crow! A decent person who is representing all the good folks of this country. Thank You Sir!!!

    1. @Jared Stevens Faux news is always Blue Lives Matter…law and order…but now they aren’t saying that!!! Was it hard to figure out?

    1. @MrHonda177 You are correct they stormed our capital trying to overthrow our government there is no sugar coating it they committed an act of treason and they should be held accountable as we’ll as the leaders who stand with them.

    1. Nobody is going to cite the FBi agent that reported a Bus load of antifa provacteurs arrived and were let in the barricades along the trump supporters by the capitol police ?

  3. “This is a significant statement” It’s a reasonable statement. He has committed treason. To not demonstrate that there are consequences for that will set a regrettable precedent and is an admission that your democracy has been defeated.

  4. The mob had been gathering for 24 hours; why were the defences so poorly prepared? If it was left-wingers or BLM would they have hesitated to open fire, I wonder?

    1. Why do you have to wonder? We’ve only got hundreds of BLM/Antifa riots from last year as proof that the police stood down and let do whatever they pleased. You do realize that Portland alone had been under siege for months and is STILL experiencing trouble?

    2. They were prepared, that just sympathised with the rioters because they are fellow racists. The police literally allowed confederate flag waving traitors into a government building. Foes anybody remember why America fought for independence and how these people actually fought against America? Guess not, in a couple more hundred years maybe the hard right will be storming the capital waving ISIS flags? Anything seems possible now. Only in America (that’s an insult BTW)

    3. If you’re wondering, let me help. There would be a few arrests, and a lot of people shot. Many Americans are too stupid to know who their real enemy is.

    1. @Irondre Is that why DOZENS of police were killed in the BLM riots? Or how about the innocent kids that were killed? Oh, that’s right, liberal media didn’t report all that. Quit watching brainwashing media.

    2. @TheRealUnholy yes Rick Wilson tweeted that today, he is hilarious, you should follow him on twitter, he despises Trump and the Trumpublicans, he left the party when Trump was elected

      So fire across the bow of a nation gone astray

      Texas we c

    1. @Open Minded you value the (insured) property of a business more than Democracy itself?

      Because make no mistake, THAT is what these idiots were trying to burn down today.

      Yes, over the course of 3-4 months of daily protests in dozens of cities, making over 1000 protests in total, around 1% did involve violence/arson, and probably closer to 10% involved looting.

      Stop pretending like BLM was going across the country putting entire cities to the torch, we all know its bullshit. Just more rhetoric from people who are scared to death of the very concept of equality.

    2. @Edith MinALL CAPS gets your attention because obviously remembering events from a couple of months ago escapes you

    3. @A M oh honey, I don’t use all caps until I realize that its the only way the other person understands. try again.

  5. Should’ve passed the 2000$ checks then all those people would be shopping at Walmart instead of swarming the building 🤷

  6. Everybody was in danger, both Dems and Republicans!! Trump was vying to take all of you out!! The Man is dangerous!! Who doesn’t get that yet?

    1. @Joe Dakota you know what’s crazy if you do your research you’ll find that 93 percent of the BLM protests were peaceful

    2. @Joe Dakota welfare collectors???are you serious you have to be a young teen no way a grown adult can be as ignorant as you theres no way🤯

    3. @Joe Dakota Nowhere does it say that BLM was created to riot and loot. If people are doing that at BLM rallies, then they aren’t a part of BLM.

    1. @Little Mac they had nooses and lynches strung up, so yeah, that probably wasn’t just talk. I’m sure if they had the chance, some of them actually would’ve. It’s f*cking crazy the lengths these people will go to for a delusional man. Seems a lot like the start of a Fascist regime to me.

    2. It’s never that easy they just let them break into the White House cause they stand by these kind of terrorist extremist. If it was BLM movement we wouldn’t even be able to get that close to the capitol

    3. Yes, it’s a House (meaning a building) filled mostly with White people. But it’s not technically The White House.

    1. Some guy is tweeting the Police “executed” a Trump supporter- and sharing on FB – these are dangerous times on the soil of the Homeland

  7. It’s a awakening for the everyone wow if they were of color this would have been a massacre just saying
