@Steve Sh Thanks 👍
Sick America! It is with regret that I must state America as a whole has allowed this to happen. Via your allowing Fox News and other such media to fan the flames of hate. Murdoch and others should be brought up on charges. Better still, bring back the laws that stated ALL mass media MUST present a BALANCED news programme to allow the public to decide. IN BRITAIN, news media are NOT allowed to be partisan. ITS ILLEGAL. in America, you have THE most corrupt laws in plain sight, it will be years before this is fixed, if ever.
@B B I sincerely hope, as an American, that we can get a law/laws on the books that state that news has to be balanced. And stations such as Fox can not be listed as news.
@Steve Sh wow😳🔥🔥🔥
Sorry, we knew, the intel was there, but someone interfered, we knew.
Yes.
So sick of the media & Congress members acting like this was a surprise.
Now the military would have us believe they didn’t know either.
@B B That doesn’t stop the BBC from bias. Luckily we have a new Conservative Party donor taking over to fix that……
@Laura Meyer “luckily, one of “our lot” will fix that by showing news with a bias that WE don’t mind because as long as the news is only saying things WE agree with, it’s fine. Other than that it’s fake news”
Is that what you mean?
It didn’t help that the Capitol police turned down multiple offers of backup for the day, and that the National Guard was delayed by the White House. Thankfully the Maryland governor sent them anyway.
@B B The US used to have laws about reporting facts. The Fairness Doctrine and Telecommunications Acts were revoked in the 80’s and 90’s. Now the news is distorted like funhouse mirrors. We would do well to bring them back.
In the 1700s, Paul revere screamed “The redcoats are coming!”
Now, the National Guard will be screaming “The redhats are coming!”
@Kali Moe new evidence? Called a book.
@Beautiful Rebel most are not with Trump, most are simply with america
@Rod Young It benefited the crazy’s that broke into the capitol.
@GO GATORS also look up Israel Bissel, iirc he was the one that did the most work warning everyone.
He actually yelled “the regulars are coming” but your point still stands
“If you can convince the people to believe in absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.” – Voltaire
Amen, a man not to far in the distant past, Hitler and his thugs. took over 50 million to die, to stop them. and their leader .
@Chris Miller That’s really scary
@Chris Miller How about YOU start listening to our point of view? The whole reason we’re here is because conservatives no longer are willing to listen to another idea. You have one book, and one set of ideas, and you listen to nothing else. You need to listen.
So TRUE!
@Chris Miller I don’t disagree with everything you’ve said. I agree that conversations between opposing opinions need to eventually happen and we have got to come to some sort of amicable common ground (though I don’t see that happening for a long time). But *none* of the predictions that these extremists have made have come to be truth…Election fraud, martial law, etc. When NONE of the radical claims you’re making come to fruition, when do you begin to say “Why has all of this been wrong?” Let’s call it what it is: cult mentality. These people fill their brains with so much nonsense fed to them by online attention-seekers who get their kicks from likes and praises and it’s all they know. Trying to speak sensibly to someone that’s so indoctrinated is impossible. The reason these people didn’t hide their faces or their videos is because *they truly believed they were doing the right thing* even though it was a criminal act. Their brains are filled with so much madness that they are no longer living in reality. Does that sound familiar to you at all? It sounds like the followers of dictators, serial killers (ie: Charles Manson), and religious cults (Jim Jones).
When do they start to question what they’re believing when none of it is based in reality?
Any kind of these acts need to be punish for their actions in or order to stop more of it!
The Trump administration is the most childish & inexperienced administration ever in American history!
The spoiled rich kid always says the other children don’t like them, because they’re rich, To Learn The Child Is An Evil Bully.
Trump and his media team made sure to fill the air with lies of people hating him.
*Why Would Those That Don’t Know Him, Hate Him?*
Don’t like his principles, policy, personality.
Why Did Media Lie Of Hatred Of Him?
*Excuses For His Bad Behavior!*
Trump wasn’t strategic at all. Biden will just use this to justify security against Trumpers and the more extreme left wing.
Antifa and BLM will be silenced with laws used to protect us against domestic terrorism.
Agreed. An absolute amateur…..thankfully…..someone with half a brain might have pulled it off.
“Childish”. Oh, I don’t think children are treasonous, repugnant, racist trash.
@D B How was it Stolen?
“It was my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection.”
– Washington DC police officer Daniel Hodges
These movements go to bed with C-IN-C Heelspur. He needs social media and now he is banished to be a social pariah. He was encouraging unlawful activity using Whitehouse podium and Airforce one and thatcomes to an end.
Those were not Trump supporters to That was antifa.Trump and his supporters were still 45 minutes away.Wake up
@Krishna Kumar Wrong
And a pleasure watching it crushed.
@The VELT LIES
“Attacks on police”? Not the party of “Law and order”, surely you jest.
Nothing lawful or orderly about it.🙄
Trump fueled All the Hate for years‼️ Not one of these Reporters Mentions Trumps Name⁉️
The “disaster” that Donald trump planned, and was hoping for
Trump publicly exposed his plans to overthrow the us government. Everyone still ignored him for he’s akin to ‘Wiley Coyote….” Super Genius”‘
Trump was watching on television the events of the riot turned insurrection, with glee and excitement. These were his soldiers marching on Capitol Hill fighting in his name, that Trump himself incited and turned loose against an entire branch of government.
Make no mistake that he tried to assassinate and destroy the entirety of Congress as they stood in his way of holding onto power simply because they dared to count the electoral college votes as is their duty.
Wrong,goofball.Trump and his supporters were still 45 minutes away when this happened.These are all antifa thugs.
@Karen Piotte Wrong he made an announcement but it was removed.Break away from fake news and do some research.
@dearl mcpeak Wrong.
You know it’s a cult when your 80 old grandma and the naked guy with the Viking helmet believe the same exact thing..
Remember those “stupidest criminals” clips, a full length movie can now be made
@TOm Palmer So you’re here watching more fake news? Doofus
@WM Luna Trolls gotta troll.
@TOm Palmer
I don’t think you’ll find any breaking and entering, cops beaten with fire extinguishers or even looting conducted by ACTUAL BLM protesters. There was a lot of garbage, inexcusable opportunistic garbage, conducted on the periphery of BLM protests, but not BY the actual protesters and not as the primary goal of the protest. This thing at the Capitol had an unconstitutional objective and sought to accomplish it through illegal means – storming the capitol, taking prisoners, usurping the process and even killing democrat leaders and hanging Mike Pence.
Nothing done by BLM or antifa or even the idiots looting on the margins comes close to that.
I’m thinking 6 part series… to get all the crime and detail in there…
Sad but true.
Like to check in and see what BS the left is pushing today. And yes alot of the rioting, looting and destroying of people’s lives and business’s was done by both BLM and ANTIFA. During their MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS.
It ALMOST resulted in a disaster? It WAS a disaster…
As an American…This entire video is disturbing beyond words.
Also shows that religion is terrorism as well. These people killed a police officer a nd tried to kill a lot more. So much for their fucking religion.
Probably is to non-Americans, too. Also disturbing are our covid numbers, and that our army secretary here looks to be about 15 years old.
We the majority just have to keep that dangerous minority kept down. Never give up on getting out the vote and registering new voters. Never too early to start, because it will be too late if we let that trash repeat this.
As a Canadian, also! 🇨🇦
Yes it is
And what did Donald say about these insurrectionists? “We love you”
Another lie spewing out of his mouth that his idiot followers believe
“Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.”
― John Steinbeck
My favorite author.
Steinbeck was wrong in this philosophical aspect. Stupidity is hereditary 🙄 unfortunately…….
“No one understood situation?” What the hell? Is this “army secretary ?” Appointed by the dumpster?
Republicans like Cruz, Hawley etc were involved in this Coup along with domestic Terrorists.
