I can't get over the fact that Capital Police and Security sat back and let these people vandalize the Capital building.

The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally

summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them

over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.

The day Trump broke the GOP

The riot at the Capitol is quickly fueling a reckoning over Trumpism.



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) -- “it’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence.”

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said he didn’t want to hear anything more from Trump: “It was a tragic day and he was part of it.”

House Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), did not mince words: “There is no question that the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob, the president addressed the mob. He lit the flame.”

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) - "We witnessed today the damage that can result when men in power and responsibility refuse to acknowledge the truth. We saw bloodshed because the demagogue chose to spread falsehoods and sow distrust of his own fellow Americans.”

Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), "Our identity for the past several years has been built around an individual and we got to get back to where it's built around a set of of ideas and principles and policies. And I'm sure those conversations will be held, but it needs to happen pretty soon."

Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) - “Today changed things drastically. Whatever point you made before, that should suffice.” “Get this ugly day behind us.”

I don't think yesterday changed the GOP very much, if at all. 2 weeks from now, they will have forgotten this.
 
If they were "principled" they wouldn't have needed Trump in the first place
sadly many didn't recognize that.
Sadder still, many still don't
 
I'm interested to see where the Democrat party goes. As much as the Republicans have been built around Trump, the Democrats have too.

Opposition and hatred of Trump unified the Democrat party. They're still fairly fractured as a party as is evideiced by Pelosi barely hanging onto the gavel.

The Democrats will need to figure out what their principles are along side the Republicans.

I think the parties moving into the post Trump era will be good for them.
 
The "Democrat" Party ?

It is delusional and uninformed to think (D) is all and only about Trump.

He has been the President for 4 years, the head of the government, commander in chief ----- of course he takes a lot of air.

The "Democrat" Party.
The language of Rush Limbaugh , Roger Stone, Roy Cohn and of course, Joseph McCarthy
Sean Hannity and probably the rest

Maybe Trump was actually a Dem plant in order to destroy the GOP from within? I mean the dude was a Democrat as recently as 2008.

I think this conspiracy actually holds more weight than 99% of the trash I see on FB and Twitter.
 
I see all these idiots on FB and twitter claiming the people that stormed the Capitol were Antifa/BLM in disguise, lol, and that Trumpers would never be violent.

So let's see. Trump calls on his supporters to "Stop the Steal." A ton of his idiot supporters have been talking about Civil War for awhile now. We've already seen several instances of Trump supporters being violent and planning terrorist types of attacks.

But yeah, they totally would never siege the Capitol building when their leader basically gave them direction to do so.

I prefer the other conspiracy theory. Nancy set them up by not ordering up enough security. She lured them in.

Btw we don't have to choose one conspiracy theory over another. We can believe them all.

I haven't seen this on any mainstream news sites yet. Weird huh?

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told federal law enforcement to stand down just one day before a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, smashing windows, entering the chambers, and forcing lawmakers and congressional staff inside into lockdown.

“To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to, and consultation with, MPD if such plans are underway,” Bowser wrote in a letter to acting U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, and Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy.

“The District of Columbia Government has not requested personnel from any other federal law enforcement agencies,” she continued. “To avoid confusion, we ask that any request for additional assistance be coordinated using the same process and procedures.”

Bowser also explained that the presence of “unidentifiable” federal law enforcement agents in D.C. could “cause confusion” and “become a national security threat” because of the lack of distinction between them and “armed groups.”

“We need to look infinitely harder at who we elect to any office in our land — at the office seeker’s character, at their morals, at their ethical record, their integrity, their honesty, their flaws, what they have said about women, and minorities, why they are seeking office in the first place, and only then consider the policies they espouse.”

-----John Kelly

Sounds like Kelly has some regrets, but yeah I would agree with that.
