Eddie Emerson worked his fly fishing pole back and forth, tossing his line into a pond in West Texas, searching for stocked trout and an answer to questions on how he felt about the storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. A backer of President Donald Trump, Emerson said he disliked the violence he saw on TV on Wednesday: people overturning barricades, clashing with police and swarming the building in Washington that houses the Senate and House of Representatives. Emerson expressed frustration with what he called the hypocrisy of those who condemned the riots but turned a blind eye...

A Trump supporter cried in the lobby of the Capitol Hill Hotel on Thursday as she poured herself a cup of coffee and told her friend that her son had disowned her for joining in Wednesday's chaos at the U.S. Capitol. But minutes later, when the driver of a car yelled at a group of haggard Trump supporters to "get the f--- out of our city," she joined a chorus of others to respond with their own expletives. While supporters of President Donald Trump checked out of their hotels in Washington on Thursday morning, sharing feelings of sadness, anger, defensiveness...

The United States’ stark racial inequality was on display after a mob of predominantly white supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol with ease on Wednesday then left with few immediate consequences, according to Washington residents, activists and politicians, including President-elect Joe Biden. The lack of security and limited police response, despite weeks of promotion of the pro-Trump protest that sparked the riot, was in sharp contrast to the largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protests in Washington six months ago. “My mom said if you did this you’d be shot,” Beatrice Mando, who works for the district and...

The FBI released a photo of a person suspected of placing two homemade bombs at the Democratic and Republican national committees’ headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Along with providing the suspect’s photo, the federal agency announced Thursday night that it is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to a conviction in the case. The homemade improvised explosive devices were found at the headquarters of the political parties as a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol. The FBI in their release described the devices as “suspected pipe bombs.” In the photo released by the FBI, the suspect,...

Images of a mob of Donald Trump supporters surging past overwhelmed police to storm the US Capitol have shocked the world. Many have also asked why they bare such a stark contrast to the heavy police presence and violent tactics deployed when Black Lives Matter protesters took to the streets of Washington DC last year. "This is a complete disgrace. Over the summer we saw federal law enforcement use tear gas, flash bangs, and rubber bullets on Black Lives Matter protesters without provocation. Where are the riot squads now? Are they standing down as white supremacists attempt a coup?" asked...

@JamesOKeefeIII We showed you evidence in MN of ballot harvesters ON TAPE literally paying cash for votes saying “we don’t care that it’s illegal.” No arrests or prosecutions from the FBI. You didn’t care. No equality before the law much? Why people are pissed. Focus on the underlying issue! @FBI The FBI is seeking to identify individuals instigating violence in Washington, D.C. We are accepting tips and digital media depicting rioting or violence in and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

“The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meet modern democratic standards, creating opportunities for numerous violations, and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle,” Zakharova told Russian news agencies. ... Russian President Vladimir Putin himself on November 22 said there were “problems in the US electoral system” following the US presidential vote, which Trump has repeatedly and baselessly alleged was rigged. ... Meanwhile, commenting on the Capitol riots, Konstantin Kosachyov, the chair of the Russian upper house’s foreign affairs committee, said in a post on Facebook on Thursday: “The losing side has...

Linda Greenhouse was once The New York Times' reporter for the Supreme Court. Now, I take it, she is in retirement, though she apparently comes out of retirement from time to time to heave bouquets to President-elect Joe Biden. Last weekend, she heaved several of her floral encomiums his way when she told "My Joe Biden Story" to the Times' gullible readers. The result was warm, effusive and mostly claptrap. She wrote that, in 1987, when Joe was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "Mr. Biden presided with confidence and grace (over the hearings for Judge Robert Bork's Supreme Court...

WASHINGTON D.C. -- U.S. House Rep. Emanuel Cleaver spoke to KCTV5 News on Wednesday shortly after protestors breached the U.S. Capitol. Cleaver called Wednesday one of the worst days in American history, one nearly unprecedented. “This is one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our Republic," Cleaver said. “This is a threat to our system of government. One member of Congress actually called for Civil War a couple of days ago.” Cleaver, like many of his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives, was forced to remain in his office while protestors breached the U.S. Capitol building....

Posting LINK only. This is an over-the-top AP attack on Donald Trump and his peaceful supporters. BARF alert.

Politico conducted its 2020 Voter Priorities Survey and results show that a vast majority of Trump voters believe the election results are not valid and that illegal voting and fraud took place during the election. Twenty-one percent of Trump voters believe the results are valid and 79 percent believe the election was stolen.

According to an exit poll from Tuesday’s runoff election, a strong majority of Republican Georgia voters believe the 2020 presidential election between President Trump and Democrat Joe Biden was not conducted fairly. CNN and Edison Research for the National Election Pool teamed up to conduct an exit poll in Georgia’s Senate runoff election in which incumbent Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue tried to stave off challenges from Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. According to the exit poll, about 75 percent of Georgia Republican voters who participated in the runoff election said that the 2020 presidential election on...

These smart asses ASSUME they will just GRANT the election to Joe MINDLESS Biden, and Beijing Harris. Sasse talking about "beauty" because this isn't what America is about. No--- they DO NOT GET IT. OUR INSTITUIONS, including this Senate. OUR BEST DAYS WILL be BEHIND it-- IF they do not LOOK at the Evidence of Fraud, and Theft by a FOREIGN influenced invasion. They ALL KNOW this-- they are owned by CHINESE COMMUNISTS. All of them.

What happens when the US Government knowingly certifies fraud?

A demonstration of vote count switching. In this Bongino Report, Statistical irregularities and impossibilities are revealed to expose voting manipulation which saw 30,000 Trump votes suddenly vanish in three Georgia counties, and go to Biden.

Did not see a thread to cover this....discuss.

Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday said that he doesn’t believe he has the “unilateral authority” to decide between competing slates of electors. “It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” Pence said in a statement released just before a joint session of Congress began. As president of the Senate, Pence is presiding over the session. The purpose of the session is to count electoral votes. Under the Electoral College system, voters choose electors. Those electors...

This is a good interview. General Flynn say, President Trump will be President another 4 years. Enjoy! https://theresistance.video/watch?id=5ff51a425a21233002a02d6c

ATLANTA - Democrats won one hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Georgia on Wednesday and pulled ahead in a second, edging closer to control of the chamber and the power to advance Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s policy goals when he takes office this month. Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock beat Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, TV networks and Edison Research projected. Democrat Jon Ossoff held a narrow lead over Republican David Perdue in the other race, with a final outcome not expected until later on Wednesday. With 98% reporting, Warnock was ahead of Loeffler by 1.2 percentage points, roughly 50,000 votes, while...
