    So what happens when this human wave overriding security perimeters brings with them a suicide bomber with 40 lbs of C-4 to blow up the capital building? Foreign, domestic terrorists dream of being able to get that type of unfettered access to the Capital building.

    Security should have been prepared for this and ready to respond in waves to maintain a perimeter.

    They wheeled out a woman that was covered in blood and looked to be in really bad shape, it was live tv so they probably wouldn’t have shown it if they knew how messed up she’d be (they showed her face). I assume she is the one who was shot.

    Despite his tweet it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Trump ends up treating the thugs and vandals the way he treated other lawbreakers like Roger Stone and Michael
    Flynn. Trump does have a history of rewarding loyalty.

    I just blocked someone else from the thread. Who is next? We're going to enforce the rules one way or the other. One has gotten a 2-day vacation from the site and another has been thread banned. It doesn't have to be that way so it's up to the individual poster as to how it comes down.

    This is where being wrong is on you. It would have taken simply a few people to take most of these "dumb rabid dogs" to the next level and that means they had intent to occupy the Capitol which is a federal offense all by itself. To lower the actions to that of "just a bunch of good ol folks a roamin" is simply a poor characterization on your part.
    The rally was what it was a Trump opportunity persuade his "so very much loved fans" to step up and do something and they came to Washington to do something. They didn't arrive to just hear a speech and go to ChicFilA.

    Moscow Mitch might actually support this, but Pence is too much of a coward.


    When a few dozen y’all qaeda, vanilla ISIS, gravy seals can take over the Capitol without firing a shot, imagine how easy it looks to a different terrorist organization that actually has a few members with double-digit IQs?

    And I wonder if Russia thinks this would be a good time to launch a cyber or military strike against us, while the president is inciting a seditious coup and Congress is hiding under their desks...

    Do I think they will be successful? No. However, it is hard to make the violent occupation of our capital by a mob threatening elected officials and making to overturn an election "more than it is."

    If the crowd rushing the Congress building were black, I guarantee there would have been a different, more lethal response. Every conservative in the country's head would explode in outage, and Trump would call up all 6 of the military services to put down an insurrection. He'd call from the bunker, of course.

    That's some crazy chit there. Sounds more like anarchists who don't care who they kill.

    I know this was intended to be a pithy comment but a woman shot inside the US capitol just died because of this seditious crap.

    What was your actual point, that this wasn’t bad because no one died?
    If so, that’s simply pathetic.
