    1. More infantile “BlueAnon” drivel:
      >>blueAnon are you still waiting for MAGA boomers to invade DC and fight 25k national guards?<< "BlueAnon" is the latest selfmade non-word in circulation among the seditionis minority. The Q-aren cult is probably one of the most pathetic cults on planet Earth.

    2. I quote former special counsel Robert S. Mueller letter to letter:
      “If we felt confident after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.”
      “The investigation also found numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.”

    3. I quote President Reject Donald J. Trump letter to letter:
      “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy, he’s a lot of fun to be with.”
      “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

    4. Speaking of the creepy old loser, here’s the recipe for a Trump-sandwich:
      Two thick slices of lumpy white bread.
      One truckload of baloney.
      One bucketful of Russian dressing.
      One tiny little spongy toadstool.

    5. ⚠️ FDA ADVISORY ⚠️
      Ingesting a Trump-sandwich will cause excruciating butt-hurt, infantile language, abysmal ignorance, insane delusions and debilitating sophophobia.

    1. Commander who testified on Wed Mar 3. They never addressed him other than “commander. ” I work in the ICU so I can’t download at work, just listen.

    2. @CANDICE KRAFT The wicked witch of sunny California. One of my coworkers husband thinks he recorded it.

    3. @CANDICE KRAFT Sky News Australia repeats US News every 5-6 days. Hopefully I can catch it on their rerun.

  1. Communications between rioters and *Congress* before the seige. That speaks volumes. Now we know why the fences are there post-protest.

    1. Not to mention all the new fancy domestic terrorism prevention laws they started proposing after the fact

  2. There was a lot of coordination there going on, be interesting to see which lawmakers (cough cough MTG) thought they could get away with it

  3. I always said it’s more to this then we know. They need to be investigated. Because they were mad trump lost

  4. Anyone that would still support their,” big lie,” should, from now on, be considered to be a part of the insurrection. If we are still a Nation of laws, then this matter has already been settled.

    1. They ought to be arresting trump for fraud? He’s using letter headed paper that states he’s still POTUS. That’s falsifying records, and fraudulently pretending to be a government official! If you or I did that, expecting people to follow our orders, under false pretences, we would be arrested! Mad people and frauds are the only ones who think they’re the president, or fake their credentials! Lock him up!

    2. @Ash Roskell I am waiting for Donnie to start saying, in his version of a French accent, ” Vous must address moi as “Emperor Napoleon”

  5. Hawley and Cruz purposefully delayed the vote so that the rioters would have time to get inside to interrupt it.

    1. President Reject Donald J. Trump is the most prolific loser in US history.
      He lost his best buddy Jeffrey E. Epstein.
      He lost the popular vote twice.
      He lost the Senate.
      He lost the House.
      He lost Georgia three times.
      He lost his financial backers.
      He lost his attorneys.
      He lost his Twitter account.
      He lost his effing mind and attempted sedition.
      He lost his new team of attorneys.
      He lost his four year long struggle in Supreme Court to keep his tax returns hidden under the floor boards, and the Manhattan DA’s office is now in possesion of his infamous tax returns and financial records going eight years back.
      And President Reject Donald J. Trump’s tremendously bigly losing spree is far from over, there’s plenty more losing still to come 🎃

    2. Monaica Lewinsky had way more President in her than President Reject Donald J. Trump ever had 🎃
      Literally 🤣

    3. Speaking of the relentlessly whining loser, here’s the recipe of a Trump-sandwich:
      Two thick slices of lumpy white bread.
      One truckload of baloney.
      One bucketful of Russian dressing.
      One tiny little spongy toadstool.

  6. *Finally!!* It’s obvious to any with eyes that this was aided & abetted by the highest levels of our government.

    1. They used ambiguous language to have plausible deniability but recruited their useful fools who will go to jail

    2. I refuse to believe with all the technology today to relay messages there wasn’t enough police to stop the insurrection from happening no thought of what if not at all prepared for a riot wtf 😳

  7. Did you see how scared Hawley seem to be at the mention of subpoenaing phones and phone records? I wonder how much sleep he’ll lose..

    1. Yes, only asking questions about the electronic part , and you don’t see them out in the public running their mouth as much .

  8. Dear Lord in heaven, I’m praying that they get them ALL!! Everyone involved need to be held accountable!!!!
    #stoptherepublicanlies!!

    1. Here is a true Christian and a Patriot. Thank you for for not being like the Trump Christians. 🙏🏽

    2. Everyone involved? You know Antifa breeched the door right? They should be held accountable or does that not fit your narative?

  9. The US is such a joke. The Capitol won’t be safe unless Flynn is behind bars, and his brother is facing court-martial.

    1. They can secure the Capitol, regardless. They just needed to overcome the bias that causes them to underestimate the threat from right wingers. Mike Flynn is a retiree, so he can be recalled & court martialed, too. I hope they bust him down to private, then dishonorably discharge him & revoke his benefits. He’s an absolute disgrace.

  10. “How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump”
    That about sums it all up.
