Protesters set fires and hurled bricks in a daylong assault on the city hosting Donald Trump’s inauguration, registering their rage against the new president in a series of clashes that led to more than 200 arrests. Police used pepper spray and stun grenades to prevent the chaos from spilling into Trump’s formal procession and evening balls.

Several spirited demonstrations unfolded peacefully at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through to the inaugural ceremony. Signs read, “Resist Trump Climate Justice Now,” ″Let Freedom Ring” and “Free Palestine.”

I suggest we know start calling what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, a "spirited demonstration".

Odd. No 25,000 national guard troops and concertina wire in 2017.

Don’t forget that EVERY SINGLE ONE of those bastards arrested in 2017 was eventually LET GO with no punishment.

And 99% of them will be costumed as Trump supporters, which they did (and the media ignored) on Jan 6, and the media will fuel the lie that Trumpsters rioted.

Almost 300 were arrested the first day of the Trump inauguration, and Charges were dropped for every single person arrested.

So, they like Riots and insurrection, their Policies encourage it.

The next phase of the multi-step plan that has been in the works for a very long time to usher in “Patriot Act 2.0” (a/k/a the march toward socialism/communism) is unfolding before us. So much Kabuki theater... likely even from those we either trust or are told to trust.

Your typical Democrat voter has a memory span of about six weeks.

Seriously.

What happened at our Capitol on January 6th,” Was a joyful, spirited, spontanious and mostly peaceful demonstration".

“Where was Nancy Pelosi? (During the Capitol Hill event, on 6 January 2021)

It’s/was her job to provide Capitol security,” asked the South Carolina Republican, Senator, Lindsey Graham!

This is not complicated.

Take just one Deep State agency, the FBI.

What is the actual goal of the top tier of bureaucrats there.

It is _very_ simple.

They want more power and they want more money (from whatever source, legal and illegal if they can get away with it).

How do they make that happen?

They need enemies.

Dangerous criminals.

Terrorists.

Evil white nationalists.

If they can’t find some, then create them!

Life is easy when you know the rules.

That good old FBI never bothered to pursue the people
supplying the rioters with bricks and gas canisters.

They didn’t care to find out who was paying these folks
to be on the streets. They didn’t care to find out who
was paying for their transportation and lodging.

They didn’t take license plates and arrest people.

They just frittered around while Rome burned.

You’ve really got to wonder what the hell is going on in the
mind of the FBI Agents these days.

Are they that thrilled to be the SS for the Fourth Reich?

Seriously!
