"If you need thousands of troops for your inauguration, then you were likely not elected by the people."
OPINION | This article contains commentary which reflects the author’s opinion. A legitimate President would not need to be sworn in under the protection of 25,000 armed soldiers. This is how elections work in Venezuela. No, the Democrats are putting on a show of power, get that, power. They are...

Dump lost by about 8 million votes. Biden won the popular and the electoral vote. Anyone with a functioning brain would know Biden was elected by the people.
Mighty convenient timing for a sudden change of heart from people who for 4 ******* years whined about Russia's election interference. Whatever happened to that big-talk about burning the whole damn system to the ground?
When have you ever heard me say anything about burning anything to the ground? Dump helped the Russians. They couldnt pin him down but anyone with a brain knows he colluded with them.
Suddenly it's tantamount to treason to question election integrity or stage protests. Even though the vast majority of the tens of thousands of DC protesters remained "mostly peaceful", that old excuse just ain't gonna cut it anymore. Like I said, this sudden shift in tone is mighty convenient.
You can question all you want to. You can decide not to believe the republican voting officials that said the election was fair. You can disbelieve all the republican appointed judges that laughed Dumps suits out the court due to lack of evidence. You can do all that but if you **** up and try to overturn the results you will be dealt with harshly.
If only the accusation of "sedition" was limited specifically to the people who actually broke into the capitol building and committed actual crimes but in reality there's a broad brush smear campaign against a huge swathe of Americans who did nothing wrong.
If a person supports the breaking into the capital, they are just as morally reprehensible and anti-American as those that did. They just were not able to go, as lacked transportation, time off their day job, no baby sitter, etc.. Then again, the may just lack the courage of their convictions, so it is unlikely they will be convicted.
Then by your standards I am just as morally reprehensible and anti-American (at least anti your Big Brother version of America) as those that protested and dam proud of it. I don't recall any outrage from you when antifa and blm staged much more violent protests on public property. Have you forgotten that public property belongs to the people which is why it is known a "
public" property. They bought it, they paid for it and I don't think "trespassing" on it is any very serious crime. Where was your "anti-America" bullshit when real thugs decided to make several city blocks of an American city their private domain? They invaded a part of
my Country and had they tried to stop me from my legal use of public property a war would have started right then. It was far more morally reprehensible and anti-American for the involved officials to just cede what they were sworn and legally required to protect. Somehow I don't find Americans who are innocent of any crime not being convicted to be a bad thing.
There you go. Just not willing to live by the laws the rest of us support, eh? I do not live in the crap cities where the mayors and governor put up with the disgraceful destructive and in some cases deadly riots. I promise not to spend my tourism dollars in any of those lawless places and certainly would not live in one. As an American citizen, I claim the right to not have my Capital Building attacked by anti constitution, anti-law and order right wing extremists. Portland is not my city. Washington DC Capital hill area belongs to all loyal American. Traitorous scum need not visit. There are rules and laws reguarding every bit of public land, and monuments in this country and that includes the Capital Building. You do not have the right to do as you please in these places as if you are entitled breaking, attack, and destroy to get your way after you lose an election. Plain as that. If you can't handle being a decent citizen, don't expect anybody to treat you as one or say nice calm supportive things to you or about you. You are not a little child and we do not favor babying you until you calm down. We're talking about Washington DC, not the state of Washington. Suck it up and act better.
"As an American citizen, I claim the right to not have my Capital Building attacked by anti constitution, anti-law and order right wing extremists."
Great. Then you should be happy that it wasn't. You should stop being a pouty lil ***** and admit that the people who went into the capitol own it just as much as you do. Own it just as much as the rent-a-cop who used a flimsy pathetic excuse to shoot down an innocent unarmed American citizen for the alleged crime of trespass. Have you condemned his moral repugnance? I don't think so. Have you condemned any other of the many other demonstrations and/or violent riots that have taken place there? I doubt it. But you do presume to condemn everybody everywhere who presumes to have a POV different than your own.
Nobody cares what city or State or district you live in. We are talking about America. Any attack on any part of it is as much an attack on America and Americans as an attack on any other part. Even Portland. You're just a child having a screaming shit-fit because someone dared to have an opinion you didn't authorize. Grow up.
You should watch the news. Characterizing a violent mob as anything other than an attack, shown live and verified afterwards will do no good. Suck it up, buttercup.
Nah.
I watched it, and it looked more like a grade school, playground, shoving match.
No one was trying to harm anyone from the demonstrator side.
The police however, WERE illegally trying to harm, to the point they were shooting indiscriminately at innocent people.
Clearly only the police violated felony laws and need to be arrested.
