While much of the nation was transfixed on the riot at the US Capitol, supporters of Donald Trump demonstrated in cities across the country, and in Olympia, Washington, protesters pushed into the governor's mansion property....Many of the protesters in Olympia wore Trump clothing, but also told KIRO they were there to complain about the state's pandemic restrictions...

...In Oregon, several hundred people demonstrated in front of the Capitol in Salem...n Atlanta, dozens of people stood across from the Capitol, many holding flags. In Denver, hundreds of people gathered outside the Colorado Capitol.

Authorities say a pro-Trump protest inside the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka was peaceful....

*nullification of anti-constitutional Fed.gov mandates and laws.*

indeed. First order of new business, along with nixing the anti-constitutional state mandates and laws.

Perhaps some protests should be held at, or as close as possible to the palatial estates of Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg and MSNBC and CNN Hdqtrs

Good luck. A shot fired by either side, at this point, could ignite riots. And you know who’ll be blamed.

It would get you nowhere - really fast - unless you had the entire US military solidly on your side.

Washington? There are Republicans in Washington? Sounds like another ANTIFA con.

it’s not a riot unless dumpsters are burning in the street.

But seriously, I’ve been searching but haven’t found any accounts of any Patriot riot today that Portland antifa wouldn’t laugh at as lame.

Where we need to be demonstrating is in front of the AP building (and the rest of the enemymedia). Then the commie universities that produced journalists that want to destroy our country. Let’s not forget the Orwellian Twitter and Facebook.

Yes, and unfortunately there are some countries out there, with no shortage of willing agents living herr, that would find it very tempting to strike a match.

No matter what happens, we won’t restore what was before this election. Either the forces pushing for more control keep progressing, or it all collapses and we get a different sort of Hell. There is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. The country is too far gone. Started long ago...

It would be a great time for a EMP and take down all communications to television and the internet for 90 days. Wired phones, and power production would be spared in my wishful scenario.

Let’s see how the Libtards do without the MSM preaching their Doxy 24/7.

You are more likely to succeed when you rally FOR something than against something. Instead of “stop the steal” the name should have had a positive vibe about free and fair elections to appeal broadly and not sound like partisan sore losers. Should also be linked to freedom of speech.

“It would get you nowhere - really fast - unless you had the entire US military solidly on your side”

Which side would the military be on? The generals may be part of the deep state, but I am not so sure about the enlisted.

Please look at this article that appeared, in of all places, Time last year. Most soldiers today are there because their father, uncles, & grandfather were there. Are the E1-E5 going to fire on their brothers, fathers, grandfathers, and uncles?

https://time.com/4254696/military-family-business/

We may not like it, I don’t, but we have reached a place where there are only three or four options.

1. To leave, immigrate somewhere else.
2. To engage in some form of passive-aggressive resistance like the people in the PRC are doing (And it isn’t working that well)
3. Violence.
4. Some combination of two and three.

After today option three looks a lot more likely.

We couldn’t win the GA runoff despite having two months to find a way.

Our political machinery is virtually non-existent — worn away over the decades by greedy insiders and RINOs.

It was Trump and all of us with no supporting structure in between. That missing structure should have prevented the loss of the battleground states by aggressively fighting the Rats’ shenanigans.

Unfortunately the People have gotten soft or lazy or both and have allowed the courts to decide their fate!

It is not in our best interest to allow government ... which includes the congress as well as the courts, to decide our Rights for us!

I just don't believe that the People have the will or the stomach to fight as our founders had hoped that they would!

As the following quote from Thomas Jefferson points out ... Liberty once gotten can be a difficult thing to keep!

====================

"What signify a few lives lost in a century or two"?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants".

"It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356

The first sentence, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots." means that if liberty is to exist, there will forever be a struggle of free people with the forces of tyranny.

And that means that the continued existence of liberty will be nurtured by the results of that struggle, namely the blood of the tyrants and also of the patriots as they stand up to the tyrants.

It does not mean that the patriots are vicious or are terrorists like Timothy McVeigh.

It only means that the patriots stand up for their rights and for their liberties, and this will frequently cause the tyrants to kill them.

=====================

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
(Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787)

Trump supporters or Antifa...What difference does it make as long as it makes life miserable for our oligarchy.

“It would get you nowhere - really fast - unless you had the entire US military solidly on your side.”

Texas is 1.6 times the size of Iraq. Afghanistan is slightly smaller. They have kept our military at bay for about 2 decades.
