Who cares at this point? Go get real jobs while we shut this thing down.

How about “no taxation without representation” then? If they’re gonna try to shut us down and out, then I suggest we turn off the spigot as much as possible.

this is what you get when you let people riot loot, vandalize, and burn for the last 8 months. But it is a strange time to get tough on demonstrators. Let’s see what they do when Antifa/Black Lies Matter comes out again. My bet is that it will be a complete 180 in response.

When our elected Representatives won't listen to their voters and choose to sit on their thumbs...

I distinctly remember watching the Vietnam Protests in the US Capitol in the late 60s/early 70s, the news reports at the time found nothing wrong with the protests. If I remember correctly, the Weather Underground set off a bomb inside the Capitol building on March 1, 1971. If Antifa hadn't infiltrated today (as everyone knew they would), today's protest would have stayed a peaceful.

I guess he can tell that to all the people who lost a job/business/home/livelihood in the lockouts. All the citizens who are about to lose the little freedom they have left.

They should try it again. See what kind of reaction they get. I guarantee it won’t be good. We’ve watched them try to destroy Trump for 5 years now and we’re sick of it.

That was 1988 at the Superdome. I was there.

Thanks. I meant to say I've known since 1990 (or was it '91?) when "Read my lips, no new taxes" became a broken promise. That was my turning point.

Someone posted on FB (I know, don’t go there much, but checked in due to today’s events) that the Republican Party was done after this. I replied, “Good.”

Boo freaking hoo. BLM and Antifa burned 1000s of businesses to the ground, and the media cheered. D.A.s released them without bail and dropped the charges.

These people -- who are rightfully enraged by fundamental injustice -- WALKED into the Capitol and sat in seats. They didn't assault any members or destroy anything but windows. And one small unarmed woman was apparently murdered by a Protective Service gunman through a door.

So protesting a stolen election means we can’t have a debate about having secure elections for a generation?!

What the hell kind of rationale is that?

Seems to me we got mandatory systemic racism teaching mandated everywhere because of the rioting this summer.

Sounds like that works TO ME

“Says the guy who got the hell beat out of him.”

Well, obviously, it didn’t knock any sense INTO him. in fact, after reading this helpful tweet, I wonder if the extent of his injuries are are far more serious than reported.

So what?

Biden’s illegal election sets back the Republic forever.

The mayhem didn’t accomplish anything, but it wasn’t like anybody tried to assassinate Congressmen at a softball field.

what hypocrites.
