    People are complaining about $5 million awarded to a rioter's family? What about the person who inspired the riot being awarded the Presidency of the United States?

    You're absolutely correct.

    But America has shamefully decided that it's acceptable for a sitting president to illegally try to overturn an election, and incite a violent riot in the process.

    We're a disgrace have been a disgrace of a nation since early November 2024.

    Getting murdered by a cop can be profitable too. Especially in broad daylight and on video.

    Ashli Babbit was a victim, not of the Capitol Police officer who was properly performing his duty when he shot her but of a demagogic politician with a penchant for orange makeup afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder who couldn't accept the fact that he lost a free and fair election and persuaded Babbitt along with hundreds of his other followers to storm the Capitol for the purpose of preventing Congress from performing its Constitutional duty of certifying the election.

    Speaking of "certifying the election," I hope the Democrats don't get their hopes up for 2028. Can't you just see J.D.Vance certifying his own defeat?

    Totally understand. It is what we feel watching the grift, theft and hate mongering from our embarrassment of governments, both the elected and un-elected ones.

    Saying the election was free and tai4 doesn'5 make it so. The election was rigged mainly withail-in ballots. D9ctats opposed mail-in ballo5s in 2012 when they thought they would help Romney. In 2020 there was aassive censorship campaign to silence social media critics who saw the steal coming. As Rich Baris said on Twitter weeks before people voted, it was going to be a quasi-election.
