Fallout from riot, virus leaves toxic mood on Capitol Hill (*sniff* & hurl)

WASHINGTON – The mood is so bad at the U.S. Capitol that a Democratic congressman recently let an elevator pass him by rather than ride with Republican colleagues who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s election.

Republicans say it’s Democrats who just need to get over it - move on from the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, end the COVID-19 restrictions and make an effort to reach across the aisle toward bipartisanship.

Not yet 100 days into the new Congress, the legislative branch has become an increasingly toxic and unsettled place, with lawmakers frustrated by the work-from-home limits imposed by the virus and suspicious of each other after the horrific riot over Trump's presidency.

Particularly in the House, which remains partly shuttered by the pandemic and where lawmakers heard gunshots ring out during the siege, trust is low, settled facts about the Jan. 6 riot are apparently up for debate and wary, exhausted lawmakers are unsure how or when the “People's House” will return to normal.

One newer congresswoman said it’s “heartbreaking” to see what has become of the institution she cherished, in the country she has taken an oath to defend from enemies foreign and domestic.

“You know, I do sometimes just close my eyes and, like, picture this place in the way that it used to be, and how welcoming it was,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., first elected in 2018.

An immigrant from Somalia, she said she draws on the coping skills she learned as a child in wartime to enter the razor-wire fenced Capitol, now with armed members of the National Guard, to "try to pretend that that's not what it is.”

She's the one who married her brother.

We can ask ourselves why Biden and Co. have established cess pools of Covid infected South Americans who carry covid 19 variants.

These pools are meant to make sure as many of the young become carriers of Covid 19 as possible by keeping them in crowded conditions by the thousands until the majority are spreaders, and then putting them on transport only to go into various cities in the United States, with Texas being the first target.

This is why Fauci is crowing against Rand Paul in saying we need to stay masked because of variants.Fauci knows whats coming.Rand does not.

The plan is to extend the epidemic and maintain draconian control over America for as long as possible.

Its really very bald and evident. No one is talking about it.Its so bald that even the most objective of our Congressman cannot face the facts staring them in the face, at least not publicly, as Biden and Co. prevent any press or Congressional access to these fascist created cess pools of Covid 19 soon to become vectors of national infection.

No wonder Biden and Co. are maintaining troops stationed in Washington along with 12 foot fences topped by concertina wire.

Soon one of these variants will not respond to the available vaccines which will then become superfluous, necessitating a secondary round of research and subsequent genetically engineered vaccines.

This is a nightmare. But if the liberal fascist can play their vaccine cards just right with prejudice,they can maximize the disease in every red state to which they will send their spreaders and kill off as many deplorables as possible.

So this is depopulation control 101. And any one mentioning it will be declared a wingnut, a racial supremacist , and dismissed into ignominy.

Is my imagination too active? Maybe. But when you look at all of these variables, one can objectively conclude that America is being run by genocidal maniacs purposefully putting not only AMERICA IN DANGER, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD.

Any bets on when the unstoppable variant will arise. perhaps
with a little help from the scientist from the Wuhan labs?It will be likely ne 6 months before the 2022 election.

We are in the grasp of not just “Democrats” but truly in the grasp of liberal fascists. Real fascists who mean to reign continuing destruction on America, and the world.

Its really time that the opposition gird themselves and join battle.It will be the red states against the federal government. They have to meet those transports of Covid 19 infected illegal aliens and refuse them entry into their states, whether its legal or not.

Gunshots during the seige??

The only shot fired was by the LE person who "assassinated" the woman climbing through the window.

I’m in a toxic mood ever since two weeks to flatten the curve became petty officials will run your life forever. Closing down congress completely for a year would considerably improve my mood.

I wouldn’t want to be in an enclosed space with the incestuous Ilhan Omar either ... those people don’t bathe regularly.

Aww! Our poor little elected representatives had their little "feewings" hurt!

Meanwhile, the "fall-out" from the months of rioting in Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere continues to be ignored, while the "toxic effects" of prolonged lockdowns are belittled.

Regards,

They have the barricades up because they know they stole the election and that every action they are taking is illegitimate due to massive voter fraud. They know we know. They know that they are all evil. They don’t care. The media, FBI and CIA have abandoned the American People. They know we know they are all evil and they are scared. We are dealing with PURE EVIL. The people in who have taken reigns of power are like the dictators that Winston Churchill talked about... “They are riding a tiger and they dare not fall off” I hope someone in the NSA, FBI or CIA reads this and is shamed into going after Chuck and Nancy and Mitch McConnell who for that matter got a brief from both Gina Haspell and Bill Barr on the massive obvious voter fraud that they were all in on. PURE EVIL. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Our elections are rigged and the entire establishment is in on it. We have to reconnect our people with our government. China is loving every minute of this. The FBI, CIA, Justice Department and Homeland Security need to come clean about what happened in this election and simultaneously expunge China from positions of influence...Will that happen... not if China has anything to say about it. To the minders who are scanning this post “Who are you... a patriot, a traitor or just another coward?”

Siege is such a ridiculous word to use for this event, pure agitprop.

Siege : a military blockade of a city or fortified place to compel it to surrender

In history, sieges were events of many days duration, if not months.

This protest event delayed the ratification of the electoral college vote by a few hours.

It wasn't even a full fledged riot. It was a small group within a large group. Only a full actually entered the buildings and not even one person had a weapon.

Look at the videos...People are walking away or trying to walk away from the melee.

where lawmakers heard gunshots ring out during the siege

During the murder of Ashli? The protesters didn't have guns. Not even the Antifa false flaggers who were smashing windows. Did the still unknown murderer shoot Ashli multiple times? I thought it was on shot?

The problem is not “rioters”. It likely never occurred to them that the problem is bad politicians. What happened to “why do they hate us?”

Washington DC is still too congenial a place to suit me. There needs to be an exchange of rounds with the filthy vermin that have stolen the election and destroyed the Republic, with both the criminal Marxocrats and their GOPee colleagues in crime taking the incomung fire. GOPee Delenda Est!

This is what martial law looks like.

The Left claimed that Trump was literally hitler, a despotic dictator, who would bring martial law to America.

Such projection. In reality it is what Biden-Harris-? are doing to this nation. Who is running this show? And why do they gaslight us so?

AF-BLM have been doing this for the past year now at Federal courthouses and other places. And the media and Democrats deny what it is, instead proclaiming their riots and secessesionist movements are “mostly peaceful”.

Spot on post. Riding a Tiger will lead to a nasty finish.

Notice the shift from “Insurrection”— which is an activity planned & sustained — to “Attack” and “Riot” which are more spontaneous? Maybe the Press is beginning to question the necessity of the continuing DC lockdown?

“Fallout from riot...”

So now it’s just a ‘riot’?
