The European Union’s top diplomat said on Sunday that last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol exposed the dangers of allowing the degradation of democratic values to go unchecked and disinformation to spread on social media.

No it shows the value of unarming the world’s citizenry. It also shows the value of the US 1st and 2nd amendments.

The gears are turning, perfectly meshed, and well oiled.

It’s a wake up all right but not for reasons the EU thinks.

Good - EU (plus UK) cracks down on Fascist Social Media oligopolies. I assume the EU is a critical market for Apple, Google, FB, Amazon Web Services and Twits. Regulate them like you’ve never regulated anything before (and that’s saying something for the EU).

Bad - taking Kameltoes lead and passing “domestic terror” laws as the EU cracks up in coming years. But Europeans know how to protest and with their Parliamentary systems can much more easily bring down corrupt gubmints at the ballot box.

The Euroscum have ambitions of adding the US to their nasty EU empire.

Any American who collaborates with them is a traitor.

And this is from the EU’s top furhrer! Looks like the “Fourth Reich” is alive and well in Europe.

Can we bring back out military dead from every US cemetery in “New Fascismland”?

A nice sign would be “WW2 - It wasn’t worth it, you cowardly fascist/Marxist bastards”.

It is a wake up call for the scum bags that steal elections. Mail in ballots are the worst system devised by man. The worst that is unless your goal at the beginning was to make fraud easy . Anybody have the numbers on how the mail in votes came out verses the people who actually showed up in person?

They are going to see what Patriots do when OUR country is defrauded by fake elections.

We are nice ppl, we just want to be free, and Socialism is Not freedom.

When our LEGAL President give us his orders we shall follow. We stand ready, don’t ever think that we are weak or cowards, you are going to be very very disappointed.

100 million Patriots, we have no race, we have no color because the word Patriot does Not define anything but the blood shed by our military and our civilians in Defense of The United States of America.

To those globally who think we are now owned by your Reset !!!!

Bring it on and see why We the People have kicked the ass of every world domination azzholes that have come along.

“NUTS”

It’s a wake up call that a nation cannot degrade and destroy 1/2 of its population with no consequences. Is the ruling class just going to hang everyone who disputes against their policies? Or just send them off to camps? Or just cancel them so they cannot find work and become homeless. If not that, how do they get around the fact that half of the nation knows we have a shamefully corrupt president that elected by massive election fraud?

That is not a stable situation. There will be lots of wake ups over the next four years and the jackboots are released.

“Siege”? Apparently the word has changed meaning.
