The House is officially in therapy.
In the weeks after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, which left at least five dead, lawmakers and their staff in the House of Representatives are seeking out mental health counseling.
Paul Tewksbury, director of the House Office of Employee Assistance, told lawmakers in a Thursday hearing that his office has provided 760 counseling sessions since the events of Jan 6 — something he called a “significant increase.”
Tewksbury said there had been around 3,000 contacts between his office and the Capitol Hill community in the first half of 2020.

“There’s a lot of stress and anger going on. … We’re validating feelings, whatever they are,” Rep. Gerald E. Connolly told the Capitol Hill newspaper. “Interestingly, the people I think who were struggling the most are the people who physically were not here.”

Screw these people, right into the earth.
Guess that’s what happens when you grow up unable to figure out how to deal with a hangnail. Good thing for them they don’t live in the real world. Fidiots!
These lil wussies. All you hear about is this capitol mob or riot.
Where was the concern for thousands who lost their livelihoods, the officers injured, citizens harassed and attacked, cars burned. “Mostly peaceful protests”?
Every time I hear this nonsense, makes me want to chew nails.
Yep. Yet, there they continue their privileged lives, surrounded by razor wire and NG.....on OUR tax $$$$.....while the peasants chew nails

Their meaningless lives lived as tools of the Left suddenly don’t make sense.
That’s an interesting historical correlation you make.
Maybe these weenies will let the truth sink in: we think you are evil and we don’t like YOU or your agenda
Agree, the only logical answer is to reopen some of the insane asylums and put every DC guberment worker in there for long term rehab.
Mental health counseling? From who...a priest or an exorcist?
Only Godless Liberals would need therapy.
what they are doing is clowning, they want to be noticed that is why they act like children pretending a trauma
Five dead??? All I’ve read about are the female AF Vet and the Capitol Police Officer who was not killed by a fire extinguisher but by a heart attack. Who are the other three, and how did they die?
As much as I’d like to believe this, I have little doubt the staffers are laughing at us while attending each and every paid day off to stroke a shrink before they hit the nearest Starbucks. And don’t forget, NOTHING they do while pretending to be working is subject to discipline now that they’ve officially been traumatized by the big scary MAGA bogeymen and women.
Where was the concern for thousands who lost their livelihoods, the officers injured, citizens harassed and attacked, cars burned.

They don’t care. DC is all about DC. Its an insular world of corrupt, self-serving elites. What goes on outside the Beltway is of little concern to them.
I’t’s all the Dems seeking treatment as Liberalism is a MENTAL DISEASE.

No Proof that January 6 Was an ‘Armed Insurrection’ - Not one person has been charged with possessing or using a gun inside the Capitol. Further, no one even has been identified as carrying a gun inside the building.
At least 100,000 attended Trump’s speech that day; fewer than 1,000 “stormed” the Capitol. A few hundred have been arrested and only 14 face weapons charges. Those “deadly and dangerous” weapons include two baseball bats, a can of pepper spray, a walking stick/stun gun, an axe, a few fire extinguishers (one in question), a helmet, a riot shield, and a collapsible baton. And at no time did this random weaponry pose a lethal threat to lawmakers inside the Capitol.
Do the idiots who used any sort of weapon to harm an officer or damage property deserve to pay for their stupid and violent actions? Yes.
Was January 6, 2021 an “armed insurrection” or anything close?
NO !

The extended presence of the National Guard is helping to make a case them to claim PTSD.
Our adversaries around the world are watching and taking notes. The American people don’t see it but they certainly do.
Our days as a respected military power will soon be in the past.
They should have seen it as a warning that the American people have lost respect for them and that anger is brewing inside the Americans they have abused in recent years. They do not need more security, they need to wake up and stop their arrogance.
This blatant election steal and coup was too far. They need to wake up.
***************
Trust me, they don’t care what we think. Actually, we’re the ones who need to wake up. We whine and complain a lot but that doesn’t really accomplish much of anything. Anger means nothing if its not converted into activism.
First, we have to accept the harsh reality on “our side”:
the party that supposedly represents us doesn’t. They laugh behind our backs. They are worse than the Democrats in some respects.
Its time we get serious about putting an end to the nonsense in DC. We need a REAL movement to stop the abuses of big government and the elites in DC.
What we need is a new party that stands for something and is willing to fight for it. If not now, then when?
