The Capital hill police knew in advance. Security of Federal Buildings is run by the Sergeant of Arms who answers directly to Pelosi and McConnell. According tot he DC police chief, they got nothing from Congressional security.
The only way security would be so unprepared is Pelosi and McConnell let this happen. The news media lied and called the first group of ANTIFA Trump supporters. The news media eagerly lied and to blame the president and give some companies had excuses to purge conservative customers and clients.
Why did McConnell bother to run for office? This is his last term. Trump actually got the GOP gains in office for four years. Now he betrays him like this? Why?
NOW can we discuss TERM LIMITS for congress? And for management bureaucrats as well?
You probably can't fire the bureaucrats, but you CAN move them from department to department to prevent their current system of fiefdoms.
