#Jan6th #Insurrection #Extremists
Someone finally with smarts. Ty
Stacey Abrams knows the real threat, ask her.
Wow, to be so passionate and so right.
The “political calculation” by GOP politicians is that they will do literally anything including instigate an insurrection through direct calls to action and disinformation, so that they can remain in power.
TRUMP IS GOD…๐บ๐ธ๐๐บ๐ธ
@John Clarke No they wouldn’t. The Democrats are trying to help. America, and the republicans, en masse, are destroying it on a daily basis.
Fuinh idiipts
@Steve Raznick Do you even know where Russia is on a map? Why would you assume I’m from Russia? Do you know how insane you sound?
@Petitl Canard Well, I’m apparently a russian and a troll, probably also a bot. Do the democrats care about helping russian troll robots? But we’ll see if Biden increases the minimum wage. If he does, I’ll take back some of my comments about him. But surely you can see why a progressive such as myself is disappointed in him so far. Oh wait, I’m just a russian robot. I don’t have feelings.
well have you considered that it’s not political calculations they’re making but treasonous insurrection calculations to start their own autocracy ?
Of course they want autocracy. We all know this. Some care.
Some want it.
Once these republicans saw those traitors of the insurrection they were convinced they may be able to get rid of voting forever and just have a dictatorship, my my but are they wrong about the bulk of the American people. Jail all elected members who KNOW it’s a lie but dont pass that on to their own people
@Ron Wylie Exactly. Take the Top Traitors down. And end this nightmare.
Try are scared boiyzuz than brothers.
They afraid to lose to a black asian or mexica n. Their uneducated selves are not paying attention to what tpi what is reslly jeeping them piiwn in ignorance and used by the political parties toi dip there work and do nothing for their people there !
Accountability, top to bottom, is the only deterence.
Except if you’re black ofcourse…
Funny how after Hillary’s loss they just told Democrats to get over it they won the electoral college votes that all that matters but now Trump’s screaming he got the most popular vote when he didn’t and didn’t even win the electoral college votes.
Dump lost the popular vote by millions. It was a landslide compared to all other previous elections. EVER.
Move over “MAGA”, there’s a new GOP slogan:
“SCAM ะฏ US”
Great journalism Nicolle, love you for that ๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฏ
It’s clear they don’t want anyone looking into the behavior of the administration leading up to the 6th and the specific answers to the lack of a timely response. Those truths are damning to the entire party. Their only chance for survival is keeping the general public in the dark.
The GOP is the best.
@Matthew Chick you misspelled “treasonous”.
Like Democrats and their complicit media keep you all in the dark. It’s the exact same thing. Don’t pretend it’s only one sided.
@hector heck stay on topic, we can cut through media BS with public congressional hearings. But I doubt Fox News, Newsmax, or OANN would air it or even acknowledge facts revealed by it.
@Aware American yeah, sure. Political theater is cutting through the BS. Like Pelosi’s two shampeachments. LOL
Never before 2016 had i seen politicians and especially presidents talk so much violence and agression. And it hasn’t stopped. Thats why all the agression in the streets
I never seen so much disrespect and selfishness from others. Reminds me of the violence of people of color in the 60s fighting for rights and better wages rights to better schools.. I thought we were way Over this fighting going backwards. With social media the injustice and misinformation spread like out of control fire. Everyone is throwing mud at each other so much negativity and anger blame pointing fingers. Instead working together for the Good of our Country.
@Progressives Rock m The realities are that we had a bully in the White House who allowed the other reprobates to show their true character and now almost every person has a camera.
Democracy is only one generation away from being lost if not protected and defended.
This is โourโ problem! Yes it is. The GOP should be ashamed of themselves.

When a coup attempt goes unpunished, it just becomes a training exercise.
Is it not natural for Criminals Not wanting to be Investigated?
The GQP’s calculation is this and is playing out already –
Reinforce the Big Lie (regardless of its merit) so that we have a pre tense for voter suppression laws in every Red State in the country.
More from Riggleman please.
This whole insurrection thing is very confusing to me. People have phones and cameras. The capital police were letting them in. What would happen if the msm showed some of the footage thatโs out there on the net. That would be real reporting. But Iโm not sure they are allowed to report on that. It goes against the narrative
