Protesters/Rioters? Storm Capital

[JLS]

Speaking of the Senate, Georgia's runoff results are going to have a marked impact on the cabinet Uncle Joe is able to assemble.

Protesting is one thing. Storming the Capital is another. Destroying private property is another. Both of those should have no place in our society.

And neither should be called peaceful unless you are a hypocrite, and there is plenty of media and politicians that are. That hypocrisy fuels the things that happen around us as people are fed up.

Long after the insurrection at the capital is forgotten, today will be remembered in infamy as the day Buzz admitted to a failure in strategic tag planning.

Signature worthy...one of the best posts of 2021...

I pray for the family that lost a loved one today. No one needed to die, the chain of events leading up to today should never of happened. We as a nation are better than this.

"You'll never take back our country with weakness" - Mr. Orange earlier today.

Please show me another instance where the leader of the free world incited violence against his own country?

Thought maybe 2021 would get off to a better start...

First hour of 2021 was pretty awesome for this guy. Downhill since.

Good luck putting it into context.

His lawyers will certainly try to.

Trump Jr and Giuliani’s comments were sure helpful too.

Can never go wrong with a mint Oreo blizzard.

Haven't had a Blizzard in years. Too many calories.

This forum, more than other social activity in my adult life, has challenged and sometimes shifted my perspective of the world at large. It is not an echo chamber. So much of the current strife that has fractured our country seems to me to come from groups of people who completely lack the perspective to see where other groups of people are coming from. It cuts in all directions.

We have to find a way to communicate with each other without diminishing the humanity of one another, and remember that we are all Americans and we all want a country that works for us. I know I need to get better at that.

Curious how these "protesters" would be viewed if they were Muslim...

Is it time for the 25th amendment section 4?

Pretty sure after this disaster VP Pence would not have a issue getting the majority to make a declaration for the next 14 days.

That same feeling of being fed up & ready to take to the streets is what drove the protests this summer.

Put that feeling into perspective and try to see it from their side as well as your own.

Today went from lawful protest to insurrection. That's unacceptable.

It’s a sad day. My brothers a history teacher and I talked with him over lunch about keeping notes during this. We both agreed he’d be lecturing about this day 30 years from now.

I haven’t scanned the first 6 pages but would like to clarify it is Capitol. The O is for the dome of the capitol building.

Get it on.

Thanks, Karen.
