    1. And I don’t know if security acted with the trumpers January 6th out of belief in Trump or just good bribes. It’ll be interesting to find out.

    2. Oh😲??!! Don The Con applied a third-world undemocratic banana republic tactic as he attempted to forcibly stay in power despite resoundingly losing the election. He fomented a deadly coup that failed … Something that had NEVER happened to this country. Do you know what happens in such 3rd-world countries to people who attempt a coup and fail? They are quickly put on trial in a military court, convicted within a day of hearings, and immediately punished with extreme prejudice.
      Don The Con and his MAGAinsurrectionists are lucky that the US is not such a third-world country. Given what they did to our democracy on January 6, I really wish we were.

    1. @Evan Gorski Stuttering is one of the symptoms of his dementia but potato Joe can’t think coherently to save a liberal idea. Stop posting half truths about the most popular President ever 😂

  1. Karma! I pity, my family and the innocent people. God please take pity on the innocent and the good people of Americans and not destroy America because of the bad judgments some of their leaders had made in the past.

  2. Oh Lordy, they Hate this country with all their hate genes. What to do. I’m working every second to prevent myself from hate genes.

  3. “Lots of little things”?!!! Not knowing the protocol for the use of deadly force is, according to this fool, a LITTLE thing? Where do they FIND these people?!!!

    1. The whole justification for building the fence/putting the guard there was based on “chatter”. Translation= there was nothing of real substance so they just make a threat out of thin air.

    1. @Annie I believe that also if the televise it I feel they are easing it into your psyche. Look at enemy of the state, I robot etc. I just try to stay prayed up

    1. @Kevin McNight Antifa and BLM are made up of all races and ethnicity groups, so your claim is bogus. Now the Trump Supporters at the Capitol Building contained Qanon believers, oath keepers, proud boys, and a variety of white supremacists.

    2. @Spider Taylor Oh geez. I got a genius here. I’ll play along. So what? The Proud Boys are also made up of a diverse mix of individuals. Difference is…blm spews racist hatred, chants about dead cops, celebrates dead cops, was founded by Marxist racist cop haters, supports a false narrative which is easily debunked, and has committed billions in property damage. Dozens of murders. Thousands of attacks on citizens. It’s just too easy.

    1. @Nick M they said everybody around Trump was going to go to prison and they were right. They said Trump had no plan for this deadly pandemic and they were right. Don’t worry we have a real man in the office now Democrats pull this country together every time

    2. @bob franks Trump gave us a vaccine. Operation warpspeed? Wartime power act? Trump has done a great deal to help covid, what CNN tells you and what happens in the real world are 2 different things. What exactly has sleepy Joe done differently besides putting on an extra mask? Take the blinders off. Also who has gone to prison? What crimes has Trump committed? Just because he hurts your feelings doesn’t mean he does nothing.

    3. Is being a racist, a white supremacist a mental health issue? I’m not so sure. It’s definitely sick. The real issue is the right wing media that publicizes all these right wing lies and encourages racism in the service of keeping the rich in control of our country. All these right wingers radicalized by people like trump and his minions so that they can pass tax cuts for the rich and pit people against each other to keep the rich in power.

    4. @Coyote 50 You know the richest Americans actually paid more under Trump than Obama? They had the same rate and less deductions. So not only are you completely delusional, you’re also misinformed

    1. @Not Happening Geez, dial it down a notch. You’re gonna blow a gasket you might not come back from. Life is too short to have that much hate. Take a nurses advice. Take a deep breath and say ohmmmmmmmmm!

    2. We had a celebrity threaten to blow up the White House during the Trump inauguration. Remember that Wayback then. I was surprised that the Secret Service didn’t have a talk with her. This is nothing new.

    1. @Wolf Jumper keep getting your information from where you get it worked out real good for the Democrats they have the house to send it in the presidency in case your news never told you.

    2. Listen no democrat or republican let nobody in they were already here mr. President Trump said China China. But he still has everything made from China and for all of your information majority of New York City downtown New York is owned by Chinese so take that Democratic Republic thing out your head once again the enemy is not going to destroy USA USA is going to destroy USA

    1. @Ken KleinInvestigated what? Everyone heard her say it. Marjorie Greene said, putting bullets through Nancy Pelosi’s head is the quickest way to remove her from office, that was also shown numerous time on vide. She didn’t lose her job, and she works in close proximity to Nancy Pelosi in Congress.

    2. @Ken Klein I guess Marjorie Greene was held responsible, to hold Madonna responsible to the same level, what do you do?
