Guys, there's no putting the cat back in the bag. Even if an ardent Trump supporter were to decide that this was enough, he would be branded as a radical and targeted.

I'm trying to think of a sadder day for America since 9/11. I'm drawing a blank.


To me, this is far more sad and dangerous than 9/11. American citizens engaging in an armed coup attempt at the urging of a sitting President? I don't think it's even close.

Timothy Mcveigh, Rush Limbaugh, QAnon, and Karen begat a whole bunch of love children.

Honestly just glad that none of the Uber armed people were involved in the rioting portion. That may have sparked a legit civil war.

Advisors telling trump to put out strong statement against the terrorists but he is refusing to do so.

9/11 was done to us. We did this to ourselves.

An explosive device was located at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee near the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The pipe bomb was detonated by the bomb squad.

I doubt that the terrorist making pipe bombs only made one pipe bomb.

I am holding off on commenting on any one reported act, as so much is happening so fast that it will take time to sort out truth from fever dream.    However, Romney yelling at his republican colleagues that this is on them is epic.   

You reap what you sow.    And lies, more lies, bigotry, and lies have been sown by a cult leader for the last four years.     The reaping is at hand.    This is a death cult.

I get what both of you are saying brew and Goooooooooooo.

So far, at least, what I'm feeling today isn't the same deep sorrow I felt on 9/11, when we all could almost hear thousands of Americans screaming in unison.

It's a sad MF-ing day, though.

That we are even talking about it in these terms says plenty.

Arrest them all and prosecute them for treason. Politicians like Gohmert, that called for violence need to be treated the same.

I'm really really tired of all the winning.

At what point does protest become terroism?

This is terrorism and these people are traitors and should be tried as such.

Our president just said that he "loves them and they are very special..." but "you need to go home."

We are the laughingstock of the world.
Well, Putin is certainly laughing. I doubt even he thought his puppet would pay such dividends.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

But.....

He called them special people and talked about how the election was stolen.

Maybe the most pitiful speech ever by a US president. Worse than nazis are good people.

Never even mentioned the Capitol. But at least he reminded the terrorists that he loves them.

That's funny. About an hour ago, I added Fox to my list of channels on YTTV. Wanted to see what they were saying.

It's no wonder 30% of America is crazy.
