"What's most concerning is the lack of preparation here," the DC National Guard member said. "I don't know who in the chain of command dropped the ball. There was no plan and we were not in position when we needed to be."

mess with the bull you get the horns. the alleged BLM double-standard only adds to the smack down they got dealt.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

they only pity I feel for the mob is that it really should be some of the Republican officials getting smacked down for their constant lying. If they hadn't been complicit, then this wouldn't have happened.

I can't remember which commentator it was, but I heard someone talking about how crazy it was that Toomey says Trump is a demagogue and that he was disappointed Biden won in the same speech tonight. That's the fundamental disconnect. They can't bring themselves to admit that Trump is terrible, even when implying it, and everyone damn well knows they know it.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Trump and Don Jr. incited the rioters and turned them loose. They now should be accountable.

Hope the town of Gods Wrath, Georgia does not try to shelter that criminal who made off with the podium.

The case of the veteran who was shot is particularly tragic. There was a report on the radicalization of veterans by bad actors on social media that was largely ignored at the time. https://veterans.house.gov/in my opinion/media/do ... Heroes.pdf How difficult would it be to include teaching of how to avoid falling prey to these attempts as part of military training? It seems to me it's a security risk that should be addressed.

Trump set this insurrectionist debacle into motion back in December. Actions resulting in deaths should mean Trump is culpable beyond any pardon he issues to himself. Trump is a bad hombre and murderer. There should be a wall built around him.
