Storming the capitol

Sad day for the USA. Where is the condemnation from Republican leadership. This is what happens when you have a President who creates his own reality and weak leadership within the party to override his megalomania. My WWII veteran dad would be appalled.
The Country is in dire need of leadership and neither Party has the backbone required.
Republican Party is screwed until they all come together and cut bait with Trump.
Have seen plenty of Republican Congressman, senators and pundits condemning.
It should be met with the full force of the law and stopped by whatever means necessary.
Great point. I’m sure they’re not Trump supporters who flocked there in their thousands. It’s gotta be the evil left.
Same reason you and others called all the rioters this summer "protestors".
Can we go ahead and move this to the political forum, I don't like seeing Travster and Agswag over on the sports talk forum.
i agree that This should be condemned , but are we sure what they are protesting ! And who they are representing??
and what makes This any different from protesters and rioters that we have had all year long destroying businesses and attacking persons.
Yea, it was just people's businesses being ruined, so that was ok, good point.
The point is that the President, Cruz, and a host of wacko Republican leaders created a conspiracy theory, without any evidence, that gullible right wing nuts bought into. Then they whipped up the crowd with defiant rallies and stood back to watch. They knew what they were unleashing. The condemnation should have come earlier and it should have been of the unfounded election fraud claims.
Hadn’t really thought that much about it. I guess I figured whatever the rally was today was going to be another March around the streets with people waving flags and shouting “release the kracken” or whatever the Q catchphrase de jour happened to be.
Really, you ask this when not one time has ANY liberal leader condemned one single act of terrorism that ANTIFA and BLM have been perpetrating on the US for two years? You need a check-up from the neck up. Interestingly enough I was just chatting with some folks about the fact that everyone has convinced themselves the Conservatives of America will just sit quietly and allow the theft of our way of life, well, apparently the answer to that is no they won't.
Really, what happened in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco...
In. Terms of rioting, nothing makes it different and it can’t be justified. I think there’s a false equivalency, however, when comparing protests over a police shooting and storming the capital to overturn an election.
Actually listen to their double talk, they condemn the fact that there is a need for violence to get their changes made not so much the violence. They then go on to say that there needs to be more heat turned up until they get the changes they demand. Basic MOB mentality, but it obviously works.
Can we just agree that any “protestors” that try to seize buildings or destroy property are assholes?
So they killed the president? They killed the Congress? They took over the military and the news stations? What exactly have they done that in even the most exaggerated description would remotely indicate this is a coup?
While there was one shooting, not identified from who, I do not recall any fires, cars being burned windows broken as the BLM/Antifa protests, and they will gone after dark. Just wanting their voices heard.
I would have happily agreed, I didn't hear anyone saying that about the criminals attacking and taking police precincts, businesses, entire city sectors...
