    2. @Brooke Baldvag If that is true, I belive pedophiles should be made to take the only cure known for that disease. I don’t care if they are left, right or independent, that crap isn’t going unpunished when found out.

    1. Media and politicians always looking to blame certain people for what a few bad eggs decide to do, except when it applies to themselves. It’s called targeting, and is the opposite of recognizing that people have personal responsibility for what they as individuals decide to do.

    2. China Joe has a long time business with China from his family. Remember the big guy and Biden Laptop Matter

    1. @Vuong Nguyen I WAS IN RUSSIA, WORKED IN FINLAND
      MANY MANY RELATIVES IN THE US SERVICE

      MY UNCLE WAS IN BERLIN DURING THE BUILDING OF THE WALL BY THE SOVIETS

      IVE STUDIED THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA AND GERMANY

      I HAVE RELATIVES IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND

      SO I KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND FASCISM AND SOCIALISM

    2. @Miles Sterling You don’t appear to understand English very well, which isn’t surprising, but the word “ELITE” means that you are the very best at what you do. It is not a pejorative word or an epithet. It is, in fact, a compliment – at least in the real world, it is.

    3. @ROBS – Have you been actual living under Communist country before 1990? Just read history book ? You need to have real life under communist regime to have fully understanding how communist is.

  1. How about all the republicans “unite” with the democrats to impeach Trump faster than anytime in history.

    1. @GemJewl69 BLM ain’t never stormed the capital !! But you & your kind of hatemongerers have

    2. @Don Quixote and its extreme talk like that that fuels the extreme talk on the right!! you are part of the problem!

  2. Graham in 2016: “t’rump is unfit for office and he will destroy the republican party.”
    Rubio in 2016: “t’rump incites riots and violence and should never be president.”
    Cruz in 2016″ t’rump is a con man and a liar, and should be rejected in full.”
    🙄

    1. @gem anscombe there’s hundreds of videos of Pelosi Harris and Biden supporting and not denouncing the rioting arsonists murders and looters.

    2. @Roger C Really? Cite one that uses Trump’s words, spoken directly to the crowd one hour before.
      Try again.

    3. @gem anscombe you had 7-8 months to see and here them but you have no idea. Guess what you failed at life and basic thought.

    4. @Roger C Translation: “There’s hundreds of videos …”, and you can’t cite one. That’s what I told you. Your concession is accepted. Thank you, and good night.

  3. A failed coup without consequences is practice for next x impeach and remove lawmakers who supported domestic terrorism

    1. @Chuck Stockford23 No one stopped them, they just left. Anyone in the real world knows the Government was never really even close to being over thrown. Don’t let me rain on your fantasy though, by all means buy into the inflated propaganda. Hey I know what would be great, the Government taking away more of our rights and freedoms so another “coup” attempt never happens again! How does that sound? lol.

    3. @Johan Nilsson You can’t impeach a member of Congress. A House of Congress has to vote by a two-thirds majority to expel a sitting member. Rep. Alcee Hastings was impeached and convicted when he was a judge and removed from that office. He has been elected to Congress since 1992 and still owes several million dollars to the lawyers who fought his against his conviction in the 80’s, if they’re still alive. Yet he remains in Congress and is sometimes reelected without Republican opposition.

    4. @Stop Racism Excuse me? A failed attempt is still an attempt. Gun shots are required? Where does any legal document say that? Beating a police officer over the head with an American flag is; a) an appropriate use of an American flag, and b) not a sufficient level of violence? The president tried to extort the president of Ukraine before the 2020 election. The fact that he failed does not mean he didn’t try and shouldn’t have been impeached.  Do I understand correctly? The only insurrections that get to be called that are ones that succeed? A coup that succeeds no longer allows its opponents to call it a coup. That _was_ the goal of the president and his supporters. Stage a coup and then once it is a fait accompli, pretend it was legal.

    1. The tragedy of it is that he has not learned from it and will not change because of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he even manages to remain in office for another term and beyond, he is such a successful flip-flopper and Republican voters are SO DUMB.

  4. When you attack your own people it is called TREASON. Why are they being charged with trespassing and stealing property? This is ridiculous.

    1. Such charges take time to investigate and prepare. The point now is to arrest them and hold them if possible. More serious charges will be coming for many of them.

    2. @Miles Sterling Was it reasonable a police officer died? He had kids and a wife…..reasonable really?

  5. “By doing nothing, you are saying that though the president of the United States is not above the law, in fact he is”. Andrew Weissmann.

    1. @elroy the great : I hope Weismann is appointed special counsel to deal with Trump and his craven lickspittles steaming pile of corrupt criminality. Trump makes any American who values the constitution and the rule of law puke. The election outcome makes the point in case you missed it.

    2. Exactly, seeing that from Australia. The world is watching. Trump should be in jail. Show the world that nobody is above the law.

    3. @Vuong Nguyen But how do you know they were members of BLM or antifa? They weren’t beating or killing people with different political views. It was violence, not because of opposing political views. It was all about police brutality, not different political views.

  7. Yes…us folk are missing Press Releases!
    PS…Presidents only lesson learned is “I shud have given a better Map”

  8. I am appalled at the republicans in the House, with their lack of respect for their members, by not wearing masks. I am appalled at their lack of conviction, against this President, who has continually attacked democracy.

    How can they justify their behaviour to their constituents !!?
    How can they continue to be a part of any decision making, when their allegiance are in question !?!

    There Will ALWAYS be a division in the House of the people if these republicans, are allowed to justify their own ignorance to the truth. If their constituents don’t vote them out, the House should seriously consider expelling them.

    3. @Roger C My comments, are based on the Capitol Hill invasion by Trumpists white supremacists, and neo Nazi movement. If your aim is to justify by deflecting, there is no justification

  9. “It’s gonna be wild.” –Donald Trump. Sounds like somebody knew what was gonna happen ahead of time.

  10. DR. MARY TRUMP SAID: “STOP TREATING MY UNCLE AS IF HE IS NORMAL. HE IS CRIMINAL, TRAITOROUS, CRUEL, AND VERY DANGEROUS.”

    1. If trump was Black.. she would not even have had to say that. He would have been shot or buried in prison long ago….

  11. I’m curious about how their gonna keep his mouth shut with gov’t secrets AFTER he’s out of office. I REALLY hope SDNY has enough to put him in prison because nobody in prison would listen to him anyways. Or hopefully imprison him for this insurrection!! We aren’t safe if he’s set free!!

    2. Ghost Mama: You have a right to be concerned, particularly if the former president leaves the country to avoid prosecution. He’d be likely to end up in Saudi Arabia or Russia. Trump wouldn’t know a government secret from a hamster, nor would he be able to remember them, but people like Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner would. Someone or other could tell him what to save and what to throw. Whether he could get away with removing those documents from the White House electronically, I sure don’t know, but government officials are not supposed to be able to do so. It doesn’t take too much creativity on their part to try to do exactly what they falsely claimed Hillary was doing. No one denies she was using her personal server. The question is whether there were any government secrets among whatever else she had on her private server, and all those investigations showed she didn’t.
