    1. I’m not sure who wrote this but is so on target. “We spend 750 billion annually on “defense” and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the Chewbacca bikini.”

  1. 2008 the republicans handed over a world in financial carnage after 8 years in power. 2021, after just 4 years this time, they again hands over US in a political, financial and health carnage.

    1. @JOSE Morass Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts (where I live) and did a reasonable job. He is pragmatic and not dogmatic. Do I agree with everything he say and does, NO. He has shown that he is more interested in the public good than spouting the Republican’s dogma. To me that is commendable and responsible.

      I do not vote along party lines and have always voted for the best and most qualified individuals for the job who demonstrate the highest levels of integrity.

      Making the statement that every Republican is corrupt and evil is a gross generalization and mischaracterization. Similar to the statements made by Republicans that liberals and Democrats are anti-democratic thugs trying to undermine free speech and our freedom. Generalizations are mindless and unthinking statements. There are good people in our government who care. Although their numbers seem to be shrinking.

      After last week’s events, I see there are way more Republicans that fall into that category than I would have expected.

    2. @Douglas Robinson They need pundits like you on CNN, MSNBC, Farron, even FOX.
      It would be refreshing to have an ordinary Joe/Josephine airing their views. Particularly at this time when the nation is so polarized and everybody is becoming jaded with career politician. The have Trumpist in having a healthy discourse with someone like yourself; or BLM supporter, or a Green or an Independent. That would be an interesting forum, similar to this, in fact.

    3. @Douglas Robinson Just a reminder that Iran and South Korea now have stronger nuclear capabilities as a result of Trump’s policies. The peace deals with Arab States threw the Palestinians under the bus in an act of cowardice and are only with the most minor Islamic countries in the region. He handed Syria directly over to Russian influence. He shook down a poor, famine ridden, democratic country in Sudan for 300 million dollars to get them off his extortion, US sanctions list. The world HATES america now.

    1. Congress woman Lauren Boebert, was tweeting from inside the secure hideout during the riot the location and details on Nancy Pelosi movements.
      I believe she is a Q crackpot.
      Needless to say she needs investigation
      Has she deleted the incriminating tweets?

    1. Really? How about Helen Keller? Jackie Robinson? Jose Feliciano? Andrea Bocelli? Ray Charles? James Joyce? Doc Watson? Frank Gehry? Well chosen words…a real knee slapper! 
      Your reply:
      Uh, whudda ya mean? Some of my best friends are blind! 
      er, I mean, bigots.

    2. @Kamaria Soverall lol I’m from the Caribbean too!!! I saw all this confusion 4 years ago, so I moved back not to the VI but to PR. I watched the PR people force out the corrupt son of a corrupt governor. I just wish the US would do the same.

    3. @Kamaria SoverallThey told kicked him out no pension, no government paid for security for life. I want the same for Dummie Duck.

    1. @Alba1970 you need to face the fact that Trump lost and the election was one of the fairest ever despite the voter suppression in States like Texas

    2. @Frail Bones Biden Don’t tell us you are supporting the armed insurrection are you? If so they may be looking for YOU. You do realize that when the social platforms turfed the domestic terrorists, it enabled Law Enforcement to focus on the remaining seditionists right? Why you ask? Because it is easier to track and find all the co-conspirators on a stricter platform. Re-read your terms of service. It’s right there in the fine print. You have no protections under the first amendment on YouTube…you signed it all away when you hit the “read and accept” button.

    3. Congress woman Lauren Boebert, was tweeting from inside the secure hideout during the riot the location and details on Nancy Pelosi movements.

    1. The Jan 6 Trump coup attempt was openly planned for 5 years. I watched Trump on world wide TV requesting Russian assistance installing him in power. He said he would refuse to accept defeat if he lost the 2016 election, and he said he would refuse to accept defeat if he lost the 2020 election, his Jan 6, 2021 insurrectionist seditious treasonous terrorist coup attempt assault on the capital could not have been any more openly premeditated. He made perfectly clear at the rally before the attack that he will never give up. Nothing new here.

    1. @Near N Yeah but look back in history….. Nobody cares about what happened 50 years ago and say who was the worst president then…… It has not changed the life we are living now and nobody really cares….

    2. @Near N In 20 years from now, things will be different and nobody wont be talking about Donald Trump….Everyone shrugs it off and wont care about it as time goes by, including liberals.

    3. @Derek Milewski why are you even here? I thought “CNN”, “MSNBC” … are fake news! You all made your point, 5 people are dead because of it, you just showed the world how easy it is to do the same. (Do you really think you can handle any foreign military), you people did not stop anything, you delayed. However, I must thank you all for being the reason for second impeachment. LOL

    4. ​@Brian Nuez 
      LMFAO. 20 yrs. from now we’ll still be talking about how the US poorly handled the pandemic alongside this riot.

  2. Trump spearheaded the whole thing. I can’t believe he is still in office. He does not deserve to set foot in the White House.

    1. I would love to know what went on in that meeting in the Oval Office between Trump, Flynn, Powell and Rudi that was so bad that even a snake like Mark Meadows( the guy who thought the call to Georgia was ok} had to stop it…sedition was discussed in the Oval Office!

    1. Yes! Absolutely! That clan does not understand human morals as they understand only their demonic actions

  3. All Congressional and Senate delegates who encouraged the violent overthrow of our government must be removed from their positions.
    They’re all traitors and should be treated as such

    1. Wasn’t it allegedly Johnson one of among 7 others that went to Moscow 4 July 2018 to “engage” with Lavrov, Kislyak and a number of other key Russians? for what purpose, I don’t know but only heard about.

    2. Real government been overthrow about 150 years ago these are not the original government pretending to be government acts of 1781proof

  4. Let’s all pray the Government doesn’t let us down at THIS point. Hopefully ALL State Capitals are OVER PREPARED!!!

    1. There are 80M angry Americans… these capitols better bring the entire military from all over the world. I don’t want to see Jan 20th come around honestly

    1. There way way more protesters at the Capitol then a trump,.’s rally… looks like the police were in on it.

    1. The same haters that started the hate four years ago are filled back out and very happy USA is in trouble ! MSNBC make money off of this crap that’s dividing us ! Please look in love to your neighbor black white red yellow. We don’t need these creeps to divide us any longer

  5. Trump and his cronies have shredded their Oaths of Office !
    The stain of Treason will haunt them – every one.

    1. On the. Right side almost everyone in his cabinet and associated with him aren’t getting jobs even the coffee boy who would get him coffee or cook his meals can’t get hired by people

  6. About 3 weeks ago Trump fired the FBI, CIA directors, and put his people their. Trump planned this all out after losing the election.

    1. Here here. If you bring guns, what you’re doing is not protest, and you should expect to be meet with “fire and furry”, to borrow a phrase from the outgoing president.

  7. Should arrest Trump, his junior, Rudy Guiliani and all Trump’s ‘special’ mob. Lock them up for good.

    1. Well you can’t imprison Giuliani. I believe vampires can turn into a mist. He will just waft out of his cell.

    2. @Logic Police Impeach Barr – send CIA and FBI to immediately arrest Cruz, Trump, Juliani, Barr, National Security chief, Lindsey Graham and all those who support or did support this criminal conspirator, Trump. Lock up all the insurrectionists.
