I'm unfortunately not convinced that she would have been held hostage for long.

It's all on Trump. He needs to get booted out on his ass TODAY.

I was wondering whether Ben Sasse's schtick would backfire after Trump did better than expected, but it appears he gets the last laugh.

[Calthrina950]

So...how does this influence the 2022 midterms?

There was already reason to believe they would be different than normal, especially after these run-offs, but now? I’m just gonna go ahead and call it: I think the GOP will have the most pathetic performance for an opposition party in Congress in generations. Between this, the vaccine, the economy roaring back... It will in the best of worlds be the roaring 20s but with Democrats instead of Republicans dominating.

Devil's advocate: we just saw, on live TV, that a large number of Americans in fact support this kind of action.

Agreed. We cannot forget that 74 million Americans-47% of the voting electorate-voted to reelect this man, and as I've noted above, I've already encountered coworkers and family members who are trying to rationalize or justify what these anarchists did. What this tells me is that this country is the closest to civil war that it has been in generations, and that racists, supremacists, and horrible people of all kinds are out there and are a danger to our Republic.

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.

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.

[DrScholl]

Apparently, the Electoral College certificates from the states were saved by a Senate aide before the thugs swarmed the chamber. President Biden should grant the Presidential Medal of Freedom to this hero.

That person certainly is a hero.

[Mr. Matt]

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

Buttery Nancy Pelosi SOTU

[Inmate Trump]

The person who has now passed...that’s on Trump.  He directly caused their death.


Impeach and convict NOW.

Blessed tweet.

A Trump supporter has now died apparently after being shot earlier today. And yet people will still support this disgusting insurrection anyway. They are playing with their lives all for the sake of a con man. Truly disgusting idiocy on display. Hope they rot.

They’ve been led to believe that if they don’t fight with their lives, it’ll mean the end of the country — a small price to pay. All because of one man’s ego.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Sergeant at Arms says the Capitol is secure and certification will soon resume.

If Hawley or Cruz or any of those other little s—ts still object after this...

I’d just think long and hard if I were them. Their party has already been ripped to shreds over this. How much deeper do they want to dig their own graves?

property records are public on county recorder websites fyi

Denying that this is the real America is denying that deep systematic change is needed. Otherwise it is in fact a lost cause.

New evidence by OANN: one of the people in the Senate photo was wearing a mask. Trump supporters don't wear masks. Therefore, that person was actually an ANTIFA infiltrator.

They're now talking about Antifa/BLM protests causing more deaths.

I’m so relieved that I didn’t give in to the temptations I had multiple times during the last year to vote for Trump .

He’s such a terrible human being , and I would have felt guilty  it for a long long time if I had done so , so I’m so relieved that I refused to vote for the guy

Wow, you’re so brave. You heard the President talk and act like a fascist for four years and you courageously decided at the last second not to vote for him. I hope you get a medal of freedom.

You have been here for long enough to know that I never became a Trump supporter   at any time during his presidency.

I just said I was tempted to at many times , but am relieved that I didn’t

You were tempted by a racist, authoritarian sexual predator who routinely encouraged mob violence. That demands a serious amount of introspection.

Literally laughed out loud; thank you for this.

You've been watching OANN? How have you managed to preserve enough brain cells to write coherent sentences?

Copy and save as much as you can from the right wing blogs and the Twitter instigators before their admins start deleting posts or threads. Their sedition shouldn't fall into the memory hole that easily.

These people, and especially Mr. Trump, need a treason trial.
