    1. @OverlandMD B it wasn’t just Democrats. There were thousands of republicans that participated too. To say it was only Democrats is ignorant and hypocritical

    2. @Trapkos I never said it was just democrats I have clearly stated in this comment section that the right and left are doing the same things I think both parties are absolutely destroying this country and the problem is both will do anything to control power from where I’m standing they are all dictators they call out the other side and then turn around and do it there selfs

    3. @Hydrocarbon82 same people screaming Black Lives Matter are Burning down black neighborhoods see both sides are hypercritical as hell

    1. Single parents paying child support need relief due to covid. A child payment moratorium is what I need! I lost my job due to covid and my ex wife gets covid money for our 4 kids plus my child support? I don’t get stimulus or any other help. BIDEN Please put a moratorium on child support payments!!!

  1. When they’re not beating up the police, they’re begging them for protection from the press. Hypocrisy much? Where is their shame!

    1. @Yeti W /- oh you don’t know _how_ pathetic .. you are on the very brink of getting a down vote from me pal. lol

    2. @Lisanne van der meij /- _Staged_ as in “All The Worlds A Stage” … maybe . Otherwise, it’s back in the rabbit hole for you, _Ms._ van der meij . Hop to it.

    1. @IHC Terra that may be the case but where are the Republicans that were voted by the KKK since then? And if you read my initial comment I said created.

    2. @Mr ? And like I said, the PEOPLE created the KKK. Not the Party. The people who moved to the Republican party and took the KKK with them.

    3. Doesn’t matter.. regardless of what he’s done, it’s his house, his property, he might be a pos trespassing protestor but regardless they are trespassing and in that moment legally he’s in the right and they need to leave.

    4. @GKaZe They are not talking about the legality of the traitors calling the police. They are talking about the hypocrisy and irony of someone who was party to the murder of a police officer calling the police for protection from a middle aged female armed with a camera and a microphone.

  2. Mr. Biggs is a tiny coward. He calls himself a proud boy but can’t even hold his head up high and show his face. What a joke.

    1. @tess reinhardt The fact that this ONE election, is your basis for comparing an insurrection to a riot is just disgusting to say the least … 90% of those people who went in the Capitol building were hoping for blood… the rioters wanted material bullshit to cover their wounds… Republicans chose to support an insurrection of their own government and you’re comparing the 2…. let that sink in

    2. @Saquell Brooks . ANIFA, BLM are “out for blood” I have seen it with my own eyes-them drag people from cars, attack a women ( men were walking with her) from behind and run, stab someone, attack cars with people in them. Shoot at someone (this happened is my town) We are getting extremist on every corner. Some are called insurrectionist, and others social justice protesters. Until all of them are accountable non of them will be. Anger is deep on both sides because it’s becoming an American Hatfields and McCoy feud , escalating with blood on both sides.
      Everyone needs a voice, everyone needs safety an protection from terrorists, not just those on capital hill. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. When you belittle, gaslighting, cancel, muzzle or prosecute those you do not agree with you are the problem. Before we talk let’s ask if what we say is helping to calm or anger, same with actions. Instead of canceling elections concerns and repeated a narrative to stifle their voice, why didn’t they just give them a forensic audit from a county of there choosing?

    1. Seriously. They have proven to just be mindless order followers. Otherwise they would have stepped in to stop the election theft. Now they will just start rounding people up and sending them to the furnace. People never learn.

    2. @Nehmi you know what we did get in Iraq? 20 year olds that died stopping old men from raping kids and stoning women to death. What about Korea? Look at a picture of Korea at night and look at the difference in lighting. How about the hundreds of thousands that died in WW2 stopping nazi Germany and imperial Japanese from taking over the world? But yes, the military doesn’t fight for freedom

    1. @caseclosed93 WOW, you need to wake up and get in touch with yourself. I suppose you think they were all actors paid by the Democrats 🙂

    2. @MFPhoto1 and he wants his defense to be based on a “fraudulent election” and they can’t argue that without lying. 😂🤣😂

    1. I hope that all the pitiful members of these groups of traitor-sedionnists will be identified, so that each police officer who controls them, knows that they have to do with despicable police killers !

    1. Veterans are the guys who served and died in the Ia Drang Valley, during the Plei Mi campaign. Veterans are General Hal Moore, and Command Sergeant Major Plumley (deceased), and my father (deceased) who with his crew served with the 8th Army Air Force in a freezing cold -40 degree unpressurized B-17…. And the POW’s and the gold star families, the fellows who fought and died and raised the US flag on Mt. Surabachi, and other unnamed beaches in the South Pacific, and the shores of the Normandy coast, and places named Porkchop Hill and Hamburger hill….. they are interred to this day with their shipmates aboard the USS Arizona. And a past president of the United States who as a young scrawny Lt. J.G. skippered a Patrol Torpedo (PT Boat) in the South Pacific (President John Fitzgerald Kennedy). These “individuals” are a disgrace who dishonored their oath and everyone who served their country and Constitution with honor and distinction. These are not veterans they are traitors, and should be treated as such.

    2. @Cindy Klenk your last sentence is true. The rest of your statement though correct with regards to specifics also undermines the services of many good Americans that didn’t fight in Vietnam or die in the South Pacific. Your glasses are a bit too thick if you really think like this.

    3. @RamblingDude I can’t name everybody I really wish I could. I only mention WW II and Vietnam as my dad served with the 8th Army Air Force (deceased) in the UK and Vietnam as its the conflict that caused the death of my big brother in 2012 (Dad passed in 2010) We lost him to his long and terrible fight with Agent Orange. I didn’t mention WW I either – although my actual grandfather served in it. I tried to include the Korean war vets who are often forgotten. I cry for every KIA, MIA and when I see a vet on the street – I try to help them – I stood at full attention in a supermarket and saluted a WW II Marine vet. I served as an intel officer with the US Air Force during the cold war – I was also in flight test. I used to have to go the 5 sided nut house (the Pentagoon) every two weeks to brief and I would always stop by the Vietnam Memorial to pay my respects, two sweet boys Ronnie and Joey are there, forever young. I used to keep a newspaper clipping with the running total of KIA/MIA during the 1st Gulf war. I kept it up until it yellowed. I called my congress people protesting multiple combat zone deployments. Please don’t think I’m blowing my own horn – its just the little bit that I can do. I don’t want those names forgotten – ever. There needs to be a Gulf War memorial like there is for Vietnam. Really the b est thing wold be to STOP sending our GI’s into harms way for political or worse “commercial” purposes. When I was serving and afterwards – I was/am a mama bear protective of my cubs, active and vet. I had friends and have friends that came back pretty messed up, PTSD, Gulf War syndrome, not getting much help from the VA – just like Vietnam – same thing. – I suspect you may know what I mean. These fellows who served at some point and are vets may very well have a story that lead to their treason on 06 Jan. But they became traitors to their country and that can not be excused. Perhaps the VA dumped meds on them, or their families abandoned them becasuue they had turned to dope? Who knows. Maybe they were they guys whose minds never came back? There are fellows to this day that served in Vietnam that never came home – they did with a body but not their minds – they live as hermits up in the hills, maybe growing a little weed with claymores placed around their “homestead”.
      On a practical note – yes my glasses are very thick (legally blind myopia 🙂 ) – but my heart goes out to everyone, those that served and their families, I wish I could name them all. Sorry for such a long post. As General Hal Moore (1/7th Airmobile (deceased) ) once titled his book. “We were soldiers once, and young”

    4. @RamblingDude I just posted a very long reply, but it seemed to evaporate. But no I just can’t name everyone – I wish I could. My actual grandfather served in WW I, my father in WW II, my brother lost to Agent Orange (in country RVN, 1967-1968) and I served during the cold war as an Intel officer (03). I have a friend who served during Gulf War I – PTSD and severe medical issues from Gulf War Syndrome – he is on 100 percent disability. Taps need to be sounded for everyone who served and has passed on. A hand salute for everyone still kicking. AND their families. Anyway that is sort of the gist of my long post. One final note – yep, my glasses are quite thick – severe legally blind myopia — Peace

    1. At least Karen was facing what she considered her enemy; these male versions were worse (“cowering” behind locked doors screaming “I’m a calling the police”).

    1. @clay hope
      Clay Hope be like: Wah, arrest those peaceful protesters marching against police brutality and inequality

      Also Clay Hope: How dare you call those patriots who invaded the capitol terrorists. Shame on Lefty media. They’re patriots.

  3. “come talk to me…what are you?”

    We’re bi-aches. We believe in the 1st Amendment but won’t say sh!t when faced with the truth.

  4. His online business will send him to the poorhouse once everyone find out who he is. Start looking for a job buddy! 😉

  5. “I’m calling the police!”
    His little gang was beating the police with American flags and throwing fire extinguishes at them, one of which is dead.
    _What a joke._

    1. They’re so tough going to the Capitol , They need to suck it up and take what prison sentence they’re going to get . Hopefully a lengthy one for murder !

  6. Hold on, Didn’t Tucker Carlson say that “Antifa” was the ones that actually broke the doors down, and that the proud boys just walked in afterwards.

    Ha ha ha ha ha, Fox like always, is a joke. Far right groups Always trying to deflect their faults on other people.
    I hope everyone of these criminals get the max of whatever punishments they’re eligible for.
