This week, the Senate will hear arguments about why the former seditionist President of the United States should be convicted of inciting an insurrection. Democrats will that the events of January 6th damaged our Democracy, but democracy was not the only victim of the insurrection. 140 police officers were hurt during the riots but what cannot be measured by concussions and open wounds is the hidden damage: the mental anguish that survivors of traumatic events live with every day. The United States Senators who will deliberate this week, remember the consequences of what you are doing.» Subscribe to MSNBC:

Velshi: The Insurrection’s Hidden Toll | MSNBC
General flinn should be fired a traitor to 🇺🇸 and his uniform
Obama and Biden JV Team ISIS killed bookoo.
@Jimmy Crackcorn Are you naturally stupid, or do you put effort into it?
prison is the place for a TRAITOR. OR FIRING SQUAD.
@DrumWild He works hard at it like all loser MAGA morons.
Fired??… He should be Court Marshaled!… Sent to Ft. Levinworth to do hard time, then be deported back to where ever his great great grand parents are from! Vet!
To think that the traitors who have been caught are now crying and asking to be let out of jail. Those who were on the other side of their treason are still coping their issues but the ones responsible don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. Keep them locked up until their trial dates!
@Vvoh vaelez 45 told them to come. They came. Now all the 45 cultists are pulling a 45 and projecting their failure and traitorous views on Democrats. l wonder from whom they learned this trick!
The cop lost his eye! That’s permanent and they are crying about what an inconvenience their jail is. The one woman wanted to still take her Mexico vacation! How out of touch with reality can they be?
Trump is not the problem 🙄I believe he should be banned but nothing more .Trump did give us one thing? The truth 🙌💯The system needs good leadership, people need minimum wages. I believe Trump could of been a good president but the world 🌎we live in is too greedy. I don’t hated Trump just wish he could be a better person and help people 🎯
Joy House. In a way you’re right. Trump is a malignant symptom. Of voracious greed maybe.
@Joy House Quit defending Trump! He doesn’t believe in democracy or the rule of law. If he had his way he would be our dictator. If he had won this election, I guarantee he would have ran for a third term despite the unconstitutionality of it. Trump “gave us truth”? He left office asserting and is still pushing “The Big Lie”! He incited an insurrection to stop the legitimate president from being seated. Trump shouldn’t just be banned, he should be exiled to Gitmo.
Those people were tortured for three hours ! They all should get life including all legislatures involved and Trump.
And military co-conspirators like Charlie Flynn who delayed Nat’l Guard response by over 3 hours.
I am glad they were tortured.
YESS!!! Every citizen USA should sue him because of all the PTSD we are now experiencing.
I am still processing! Latest realizationnto crstalize: this IS all, ALL, ON THE GOP!
You know what Karen, that’s a great idea! !! ! A class action lawsuit. A GREAT idea! You’re way above genius.
Barbara have a seat Barbara. You win the sit tf down award😘
@Pam Petrasek what sit down and take all their b.s. Don’t tell me what to do. You sit down😘
DOBA *
The cult of Republicans have no credibility.
@Margaret Donovan The grief will be on you too if you’re not a minority and there’s nothing good going to come from it.
@evil khor Antisemitism isn’t the answer to any of our problems, but it makes you a problem, liar, and Trump tool, congratulations!
They have the decency quotient of sea slugs, ….no offense to sea slugs.
“Ltrump’s” alt[alternative] right fake republicans ( dixiecrat confederate infiltrators )… They are NOT the Republicans of Abraham Lincoln!
I give them and little donny credit for leading the idiots who rioted on the 6th.credit where it’s due.
Ali has done us a service to remind us of these things. Excellent piece.
I totally agree with u!!!
This needs 2 b in the news a lot more!!!
Agreed!
Yup as an incest survivor, I know the long term effects of trauma. Took 15 years of therapy to not jump over every loud noise.
Just Istanbul C Fraine
Congratulations on your recovery. Some people carry so much internal pain that no-one knows about or understands and it is heartwarming to hear of someone who is able to get healthy again. Wishing you the best in your life. ♥
I’m.so sorry about your trauma. Good job on recovery.
They hurt people, and they and their chief were gloating and loving it. Give them a time out, behind bars, to reflect about their evil ways.
@deb Take that BS to the FOX comment section, nobody believes you.
@deb You’re another loser MAGA moron who hates The Constitution and Democracy, just admit it.
@deb are you deaf as well as blind?????????
@David Hunt : and chowing down on hamberders. Don’t forget the hamberders.
more than long prison terms. The 4 chief inciters should be fined $50 million each and the money used to build a “Center For Democracy” in DC ….where folks can come to study about democracy.
Speaking of hidden, I like the part where the Commander in Bleach cried about the corona being a hoax and nothing to worry about and then secretly got the vaccine. But keep fighting against those masks, you beautiful, spectacular maga idiots! 😅😂🤣
@CherBear correct and voted up, thank you!
True enough and very SAD.
People are allowed to change their minds…duh !!!
And this from the party who claims to support police and life. What a crock of 💩!
Exactly!
Pretty much, thank you!
Excellent comment. Vote out the GOP at next opportunity and sue T* for everything he has.
I would love to thank each and every one of these men and women who stood with everything they had to defend our Capital Building and the people who were there to do their jobs. Thank you all for everything you did that day. God bless you and your families, stay safe and healthy.✝️🕊️🙏⚖️❤️🇺🇲
Right on
America is falling from poor lieing leadership that seek power and control. REPUBLICANS!
Nina Johnson. You are SO RIGHT
True. Trump used to whine about how “The world is laughing at us.” He’s right, but they’re laughing at us (the US) for having had Trumpist imbeciles in charge, in DC, .
America, is not falling… Riff – Raff is being exposed. Is the glass half full, or is it half empty??
@Ken Albertsen right Ken
Federico Klein was taped calling for “fresh people ” to continue the ” Drive “. He needs a minimum 20 year time out!
Life sentence would be more appropriate those police officers will have to live with this for life.
@Louise Cardinal life sentences for people involved in riots all summer also
@Ben Lancaster What about what about STFU
@Ben Lancaster What about what about STFU
They can’t shake the devil’s hand then say they’re only kidding.
What about all the hidden costs and injuries from riots all summer?
@Millie Marbrey so all the lawlessness all summer is ok?
@Ben Lancaster You’re a loser and Trump tool, congratulations!
@JERRY RICHARDSON not really, just a normal person here
I think violence is wrong, no matter who does it
How many politicians were involved in this seditious act but lie just to get brownie points?
Not just politicians, …..also at least one of the Army taxpayer-funded Flynn brothers. E-book: ‘Right Wingers Duped’ articulates further.
Guilty on all counts, but then he was already guilty of many corruption crimes before he took office.
Arrest Ted Cruz arrest Josh Hawley and arrested Trump and his son all over a lie
I agree a 1000% they all need to go to jail for about 20 years
And Charlie Flynn who, along with Trump, delayed Nat’l Guard response by over 3 hours. E-book: ‘Right Wingers Duped’ articulates further.
Everyone who voted for Trump is part of the problem.
GQP crying false tears are as guilty as trump and should be held to that degree.
