    1. That is why the emails, phone calls, etc., of that police chief should be seized immediately. That resigned chief should NOT be allowed to work a “notice” and possibly try to get rid of evidence.

    1. +@Jack Riddle Deranged Psycos don,t need assault weapons especially in grammar schools an anywhere else. Got it!

    1. @Strictly Business AdultShopping Well, you didn’t complain about that last year, or the year before thet, or the year before that even. Why now? did you complain when Trump grew the defeciet by 7 trillion? Or gave his Buddies Taxcuts for life and your will end by 2024?

    1. @YouToobin @YouToobin haha. I love your name. I’m pretty sure a lot of these people on here are caught toobin by their mothers.

    2. @Jack Riddle Try Election Fraud – Proven & just waiting until Jan 21st to issue summons…1 of about 20 cases that will hit him once he’s out of office

    1. @james haaglund that was rude. Does insulting strangers on the internet make you feel tough.
      You should try being nice.
      It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside
      Not have your heart roasting over the eternal fires of he!! inside

    2. @Elmosweed has nothing to do with tough, I am just so tired of everything from the left being so condescending. If you think his comment about charging with reckless endangerment was a positive and kind then my comment stands and goes for you too.

    3. @james haaglund
      We are not talking about a group of men that busted into a store looting and stealing merchandise.
      We are talking about a group of men that busted into our State Capital when our entire congress including the VP were in one place chanting they wanted to take out Mike Pence.
      These people walked the halls of our State Capital uncontested placing every single member of Congress at risk.
      If this would have been BLM I would be just as pizzed

    4. @Elmosweed I don’t disagree, these people who rolled into the capital building should pay for that indiscretion, as should antifa, black lives matters and defund the police. His comment was about masks and how to penalize them.

    5. @james haaglund I personally wear a mask when in public. I am not willing to place strangers life at risk if I happened to have covid.
      Just because I cannot see these people die weeks later does not change the fact I caused those covid deaths if linked back to me.

  1. Anti maskers be like.
    “They cant tell us what to do. We want our freedom.”

    Bruh ever heard of “no shirt, no shoes, no service.”?

    1. They can’t process anything that’s new or different. And consistency is not important to their medieval mentality.

    2. @Bliss It was only in my head when I read your comment.
      You are welcome to stop by my brain anytime. Just bring a joint

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

  3. Oh they knew alright…they just don’t care. Every single person…including the little old lady being escorted down the steps…should be charged as a terrorist plain and simple…democracy died that day.

    1. Let’s keep it real. Healing America can only start by removing Trump from office quick. He doesn’t deserve to sit in the WH one more day. Use Trump as an example to others who try and take the Republic.

  4. So people really still not wearing masks… Really… How are we going to get rid of this virus if people still think it’s not real? 😳

    1. These people are defining the laws that will be enforced without prejudice… yet a mask is to far for them.

    2. @Terry Edwards HIV has been kept under control by people wearing a condom around strangers to prevent the spread.
      All we are asking is Trump supporters wear a simple mask to prevent the spread of this deadly virus.
      Trust me- I have worn both in my life and I much prefer the mask.
      If you happen to be the president of a condom factory.
      You need to use American men for sizing condoms and stop using Chinese men.
      You are suffocate our third leg. thanks😘

  5. I’m sorry but trump is a proven psychopath, he’s incapable of setting any good example. I don’t know why people still insist that he can

    1. Watching from across the pond it’s beyond my comprehension that the discussion regarding him being removed from office is even a matter of conversation. He’s not a part of an ongoing bloodline, he’s not a Monarch, although he seems to think he is , he’s an American with a “ job title”. If he was a CEO of a business, who had failed his shareholders due to illegal actions he’d have been FIRED on day one. He’s a disgrace !!

  6. They should be thrown out of congress if they don’t wear masks. WHY ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?????????????????????????

    1. Would have been a bit difficult under the circumstances, but yes, maybe they could have thrown them out to be with their supporters!

  7. He absolutely knew what he was doing. Sometimes his dementia is obvious. That day he was lucid. Cruz, Brooks, Giuliani and dummy jr should all go to prison, along with the turnip in the wh.

  8. There need to be legal and legislative consequences for this assault on democracy. Biden, this is not a time for appeasement.

    1. Um, Biden is just as bad. If the roles were all flipped he would be refusing to wear a mask and enabling the traitors… Just the way it is. If you think the left is any different than the right then you are a moron. They are all moronic lunatics. It’s just that sometimes the coin lands on heads and sometimes tails.

    1. Let’s keep it real. Healing America can only start by removing Trump from office quick. He doesn’t deserve to sit in the WH one more day. Use Trump as an example to others who try and take the Republic.

    1. Republicans are experts at using chemical weapons on Americans.
      Best in history. No one has ever done it better.
      Why not add Biological warfare to the history books.

  9. There were female Republican representatives who sent their children home days before – because they understood the threat. And yet – the Police seemed to not know or understand.

    1. We all know how much Republicans love Russians and how much they love playing Roulette. sooooo 🤔🤔🤔😲

    2. @Teresa S I had the best comeback. A badge of dishonor for not wearing a mask? LMAO It isn’t the military, dummy.

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

    1. Let’s keep it real. Healing America can only start by removing Trump from office quick. He doesn’t deserve to sit in the WH one more day. Use Trump as an example to others who try and take the Republic.
