    1. The sadness of the Americans. And the leaders congratulated by other countries in the world admit a thief. A cheating, ticket-stealing man and a morally corrupt woman govern America Can only wait for the god to die😀

    2. @Lanuiiohu Sukikiya the events in Seattle and Portland netted a total of six arrests (three in each city). Compared to the hundreds of arrests (and thousands involved in the incident) it would seem that the Capitol terrorist attack would be more worthy of their time.

    3. @Scott Rainey CNN covered Capitol Hill riot, but not Portland’s riot. CNN is biased & brain washed viewers. You only see one side, sadly

    4. @Kat loves dogs that’s the response you have?You didn’t challenge anything I said,common sense has nothing to do with having different opinions, so move around

    1. @Jord Boyd So you don’t remember the riot? That didn’t happen in your own capitol? It belongs to you man, protect it! How many mail in votes were for trump? Why don’t You look it up? They all matter.

    2. @Claudia Wenzel I think that’s a pretty lucid post Claudia. It’s hard to accomplish though. Charisma comes with so many caveats. I am fine with a stolid and reliable type. Can one be a rock with a twitter account? haha, here’s hoping.

  1. Can you imagine committing a crime like seditious conspiracy, but you get the privilege of whining that enforcing the law is something a big meanie would do?

    1. Right ?! If they aren’t held accountable you guys might as well flush your political system down the sewer…no one will take politicians seriously ever again

    2. @Adele They barely take them seriously now. You’re right though, IF they don’t get it right with this, that’s it.

    3. @Bonniebluebell Illegal? The US Congress writes the law. Its power to impeach is written into the US Constitution and there is nothing in there preventing it from pursuing that goal. The Chief Justice of the SCotUS will sit over the senate trial, take your legal catches up with him. Trump is sunk and fated for total ruin. Total ruin. T O T A L R U I N

    4. This is an unconstitutional attempt to pervert the law and persecute a President who has committed no treason, bribery, high crimes, or misdemeanors. They are going to try and abuse an article of impeachment which is highly questionable when it comes to going after the President who has already left office. It may be within the bounds of legality but they need a trial in the Senate with 2/3 of a majority to convict. IF they proceed, I have no doubt that these swamp critters will l get their wish…especially under the current Biden dictatorship / REGIME. The more serious concern is that they are trying to frame this popular albeit “controversial” President who is innocent and poses no threat to anyone but the status quo Establishment –who are desperate to “hang him” to save their own necks. They want to shut him down so that he can never run for office or threaten their tyrannical control over the free will of 74 million citizens of the Republic. This is the madness of “The Reign of Terror” being played out all over again. They should be careful what they wish for…what goes around comes around — Remember Robespierre! They are exposing themselves and it will come back to haunt them in the end. Where are the trials for Hillary, Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Nadler, and others who spurred on the terrorist groups (BLM & Antifa) – who are responsible for the injuries of 1,000 police officers and the deaths of at least 36 (I saw a figure as high as 47) American citizens? When they finally did speak out against the violence (after the slaughter) they were so low key that you could have heard a pin drop. This Globalist criminal cabal are the ones who should now be on trial for treason.

  2. Why is it that the GOP only calls for things like, “unity” and “fiscal responsibility” when they lose???

    1. Have you seen Biden calls for unity lately. Did you see how he called all of us, Trump supporters racist, white supremacists and god knows what else.
      I agree we need to unite but not because the government tells us but because it is a human thing to do.

    2. CNN covered Capitol Hill riot, but not Portland’s riot. CNN is biased & brain washed viewers. You only see one sided Communism propaganda

  3. “We must learn to live together as brothers, or perish together as fools”.- Martin Luther King🦅👊🏾🎸

    1. I think they will do worse without Trump. A big reason why the Dems didn’t win the Senate in November was because he was on the ballot. But they’ll never get the independents with him. Very tough choice for them. But they need to make the right one and dump him. But i doubt if they will

  4. Never, Never, EVER trust Mitch McConnell to do the right thing. He will go down in our history as one of the most evil and obstructionist politicians to ever hold office.

    1. @Robb CoochiesIayer I could list a few examples but you’d just say it was fake news blahblahblah…

      You retrumplicans are the most disingenuous, dishonest, immoral cult in history.

  5. The Republicans want to re-ground their party “in truth?” They are incapable of it. The idea is laughable.

    1. CNN covered Capitol Hill riot, but not Portland’s riot. CNN is biased & brain washed viewers. You only see one sided Communism propaganda

    1. @Tom Haggard i watched the news night after night. Nothing
      Not from Fox not from any MSM. There is video of Kamala Harris saying it was going to to continue as it should.
      It took 3 months before one media outlet admitted it wasn’t peaceful. Anyone saying different is lying.

  6. What’s the point of having a senate when parties will only ever vote down the party line completely disregarding justice. Democracy is dead dead dead

    1. Democracy isn’t dead. It just needs a new coat of paint and someone to reformat it from windows ’98 to windows 10.

    1. Yup, they would have convicted the person the first time instead of taking the timid way out. It shouldn’t have taken until now for them to see the light.

    2. Hypocrites, that’s exactly what they are, why do we CONSTANTLY, have to be the bigger man…… sick of it!!!!

  7. Just look at your children,
    And imagine what TRUMP had in mind,
    ( for their future as AMERICANS ) ” HORROR “

  8. “Biden is governing like in the far left”

    How crazy is this? Does these people know what’s far left? Do they care, even a little bit, about reality?

    1. My thoughts exactly. If Biden is “far left” I’m Santa Claus. He knows that what he’s claiming is ridiculous, but he also knows that people he’s speaking to are so stupid that they’ll believe him.

    2. The only reason would be projection. A severe case of one. Only someone with the mindset of the FAR right would think the normal governance by Biden is far left. That statement is more informing of the person who uttered it than to whom it was about.

    3. Douglas Horvath the terms ‘ left ” and ‘ right ” are misused, I’m coming to the conclusion that most Americans don’t even know the meaning of the terms !! ‘ liberal ” is another one, just catch words they heard on fox.

    4. @Geronimo2Fly just like trump with his all “MAGA” nonsense and his rehashing of failed republican policy in an attempt to be the next Ronald Reagan.
