Terrorists storm US Capitol building; DC National Guard activated

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Why 106 was worse than 911.

George Bush didn’t tell al Quida that he loved them.

Laura Bush didn’t send her to condolences to the family of Mohammad Atta.

No Americans cheered as the buildings burned on 911 (Even though Trump falsely claims otherwise)

What happened last week was the most horrific event in US history since  April 12, 1861.  Maybe even worse.

You're certifiably insane

First off it's funny that the truth is now coming out that dozens of Capitol police have either been suspended or under investigation for fraternizing with protestors. In fact we've seen videos of some police waving them in and or taking selfies. Not quite the dangerous rioting portrayed by the media. Go figure.

I didn't write this below but I swear it's been my sentiment since I first saw this chaos from my hospital bed. I believe anyone who did storm the Capitol should be arrested but then again I've been for arresting violent protestors in all situations. The hypocrisy of politics is the saddest thing in our country whether it be red or blue.

Why is Broken Glass on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the Broken Glass that shattered the dreams of minority business owners all over the Country?

Why is a 5 hour Protest on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the 7 month long destructive siege of our Country?

Why is some minor cosmetic damage to the Capitol building more appalling to you than 150 Federal Buildings damaged, and thousands of businesses burned down or destroyed?

Where was the outrage and disgust when more than 30 people died and 1000 people were injured and beaten during 7 long months of “mostly peaceful protests”, including old People and Police Officers?

Where was the outrage and disgust when US cities across the Country were plagued with looting, violence, arson, vandalism, and damages totaling in the Billions?!!
 
Why is it ok for AOC, Pelosi, Maxine Watters, Kamala Harris, etc to call for uprisings and support unrest in the streets, but when Trump calls on his supporters to “march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”, he is made out to be the Anti-Christ?!!
 
Maybe because it’s a “Manufactured” Outrage designed to further divide an already completely fractured Country.
Open your eyes America to the real villains of our Country: 1)The crooked career Politicians who are sending your much needed tax dollars overseas to be laundered back into their own pockets, and 2) the Fake News Media who cares more about dividing us than they do about telling The Truth.

Wake up, this is not about losing an Election, this is about losing our Country.
And we should be fighting against these Evils instead of fighting each other...before there is nothing left of our Country to fight over.

^ That's just batshit insane.

A mob attacking the Capitol, trying to prevent the orderly transition of government following a democratically held election that Republican-appointed officials have called "the most secure in history", with the entire Congress and Senate in session, with the Vice President in attendance.... attacking that site is the same as attacking the local Starbucks?

f*ck off.

[Sunstroke]

The police didn't make it less dangerous...they simply facilitated the danger and were complicit in it.

The plan was to kidnap and take hostages...doesn't that seem dangerous to you?

Wait...don't answer. I know, I know...those guys were just carrying those zip-ties around so they could keep their groceries from the Capitol Hill Cantina fresh?

The GOP has now become the party of Traitors...congratulations on your new position.

A police officer was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.  Many more ended up in the hospital.  You cannot downplay this invasion.

There is a world of difference between:
a) rioters breaking into a Target and looting TVs
b) a mob violently invading the seat of our government SPECIFICALLY to prevent Congress from certifying the results of a Presidential election, on the direct orders of the man who lost that election

It's absurd to pretend they are equivalent.

[Fau Teixeira]

Not to mention that entire stupid passage that CF posted is just a huge blob of whataboutism.

Maybe that'll be my new years resolution Dave. I won't accept or respect any sort of whataboutism .. either your ideas have merit or they don't.

[CF DolFan]

Maine ... There is a difference between understanding and agreeing with. I'm all for marching and whatever but when you damage private or public property then you have crossed the line. In my mind a law is a law regardless of who commits it. In order to justify breaking the law you have to believe some people are above the law regardless of why. I do not feel that way at all. In the best sports analogy of all time from Coach Scolinos and I paraphrase ... home plate is 17" for everyone and they don't widen it for people who can't hit it regardless of what league you are in.

“If I am lucky,” Coach Scolinos concluded, “you will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: if we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail to hold our spouses and our children to the same standards, if we are unwilling or unable to provide a consequence when they do not meet the standard; and if our schools and churches and our government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve, there is but one thing to look forward to …”

With that, he held home plate in front of his chest, turned it around, and revealed its dark black backside.

“… dark days ahead.”

CF, this "breaking the law is breaking the law" take is pretty weak.  It appears that you're using that as a way to avoid addressing the attempted overthrow of our democracy by saying last year's protests were just as bad, but if the point you are making is that you condemn all protests that break the law, what is your position on MLK?  He was arrested 25 times for intentionally breaking the law (the "disobedience" part of "civil disobedience").

One of the terrorists is getting organic food in prison.  Just my imagination that there is a double standard on treatment of the insurrectionists and BLM protesters.

No true manly right winger eats organic food.  That guy is clearly an agent provocateur.

The inaccuracies are astounding.

1. No one is in prison yet. Prison would require a trial. He is in jail.
2. He isn't getting organic food. He is refusing to eat because they don't offer him organic food.

Looks like some members of Congress invited these rioters to the Capitol on January 5th to aid in planning for the invasion.  Direct quote from Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (D NJ-11) (emphasis added):

“We can’t have democracy, if members of Congress are actively, helping the president overturn the election results. And so not only do I intend to see that the President is removed, and never runs for office again and doesn’t have access to classified material. I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him, those members of Congress who had groups coming to the Capitol that I saw on January 5th in reconnaissance for the next day. Those members of Congress that incited this violent crowd, those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy. I’m going to say that they’re held accountable, and if necessary, ensure that they don’t serve in Congress.”

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that the people who have been defending the flag of the Confederacy all these years have been waging a second civil war.  The rest of us just didn't know about it.

1.  Whatever,

2.  You are incorrect.  A judge ordered he was to receive organic food. 

If he was just doing a hunger strike,  I wouldn’t care.  The fact his temper tantrum was successful is another example of these terrorist being coddled and the injustices of our justice system. 

[Tenshot13]

I heard it was some loophole because Shamanism is his religion, and he required organic food, which is ridiculous but whatever.
