I’m still looking for a list of who was arrested in that little riot. Names and backgrounds. Anybody see one yet? And the pipe bomb setters, the night before....have they been arrested? Who were they?

None of the Antifa are being arrested, only the Trump supporters who arrived an hour later. This is part of the fake election.

Experts say

I almost always stop reading at those words.

People who use a straw man argument right out of the box to somehow legitimize their opinion tells me their opinion stinks.

"And Trump, unlike past presidents, gave these disparate groups a national platform unlike any they'd had in modern American history with the instantaneous recognition and feedback of social media."

Which the "progressives" have enjoyed since the Vietnam War. I guess that is why "demonstrations" by leftists are so "peaceful" by comparison (/sarc).

Midway through Trump’s speech I checked the news and saw that we had lost both Senate races in Georgia. After the speech, marching with everyone else toward the Capitol, I felt a feeling of despair.

I was not incited by the speech in any way shape or form. Like everyone else I had arrived in DC angry about an election being stolen. And we wanted an investigation into the matter that, until this day, has not occurred.

The Supreme Court washed it’s hands of the matter when they decided not to hear the Texas case concerning politicians and judges changing election laws without approval of state legislatures.

There’s a lot of incitement blame to place at the feet of those who willingly either participated in the fraud or turned a blind eye to it.

And President Trump hopefully addresses it during this disgrace of an impeachment hearing. Rub their faces in it!
