Watching Trump and his terrorist thugs trying to shred the Constitution I once swore to preserve, protect and defend infuriates me.

That moldy piece of paper's extreme limitations are the reason why Trump happened and why this will continue to happen.

I hope that today's events cause more people to realize that the fashionable rhetoric of radicalism does more harm than good.

Our collective faith in that "moldy piece of paper" - and not, as the authoritarian right would have you believe, the so-called "thin blue line" of raw state power - is what stands between us and today's events being normal.

You can have all the faith in the world in it. But when your state institutions have failed and there's a massive degree of polarization, not by ideas but by misinformation, then it will fail like it always has.

Many left-wing twitter users are saying it's the real face of America.
They consider it as the worst country ever in the history of mankind.
Their solution is f America to be dismantled, forgotten, erased forever.




Amen.

This IS America.

This also a sad way to show that the cops can abstain from using deadly force when they really want to .

Some leftifts’ hatred for the country is distressing

Silence Republican.

This country is broken and only by acknowledging it is anything going to change.

No, I’m not a Republican but I still love my country and recognize the need for change. These people see the country as a lost cause and have no loyalty to it.

America has failed as a society in a lot of ways. It's possible to love the people without swearing fealty to a system of government that doesn't work and has been specifically designed to not work in your favor. America is broken.

At this point I'll be satisfied if you people can return to your original cult.

The best governor in America (imo) has the right idea. Don't just blame Trump. Blame all who fanned the flames for their own political benefit.

Keep the anti Christian rhetoric out of it.

Amen.  The incoming President who represents an alternative to President Trump is a Christian, as is one of the newly elected Democratic Senator who helped flip the Senate.

Not to mention, TENS of MILLIONS of law-abiding Americans who are sitting at home horrified by this, among them tens of millions of Democrats, liberals and Joe Biden voters.  Classless to take it there.

If the so-called "Christians" who stormed the Capitol today had actually read their Bibles, they might recall Jesus refusing to lead an armed uprising against the governing authorities even when his own disciples begged him to fight. Blasphemers and heretics, all of them.

I couldn't agree more, making the disappointing turn into Christian bashing in this thread all the more unfortunate.

Stop overreacting. The ONE comment of that nature was a reaction to a "so disappointing. We need Jesus!" comment from somebody who voted for Trump. We all know there are great patriotic Christians in America who don't support Trump.

Well, at least maybe they’ll have a good idea for a new Die Hard movie, set in DC with John McCain trapped in the Capitol saving Congressmen as radical right-wing terrorists take over the building.

Too bad they already wasted the title “Live Free or Die Hard.”

Fixed. Smiley

Live Hard or Die Free.

No, Christ worshipping is what got us this.  You people never learn.  Ever.

Not true. Please do not lump those of us who are not modern-day Pharisees calling themselves Christians for the benefit of political power.

The Pharisees were not even bad people. Jesus got most of his message from earlier Pharisee teachings, like Hillel the Elder.

Great job uniting America, Republicans.
Am I a joke to you?

No one can even see your avatar

Petition to make the DC avatar normal sized

And Rhode Island. I never understood why they were so small while Vatican City is normal sized.

Did it occur to anyone to decontaminate the chambers before the (mostly elderly) members of congress returned to the floor? Most people in there weren't wearing masks and we're still in the middle of a health crisis.

Yes, it was cleaned.
