    1. @Truth Seeker the irony of your name vs your comment is quite humorous.
      If you Actually believe it,,
      It’s very sad.
      I hope truth finds you though

  1. They might have muscle, they might have guns, and they might have numbers,
    but they lack the most important thing necessary in order to overthrow a government….
    Brains.

    1. @Eva Stapaard Oh no, that was not what I was trying to assert at all. These folk seem to be playing at operators which appears to be a real thing in that community. Even basic service should have taught them that so it appears they didn’t even serve. So, I wasn’t defending their attempts just clarifying the information you provided.

    2. Just stop. They dont have numbers. There are over 250 million voting age Americans. 74 voted for trump. Even on right wing media the highest estimate if those is 77% who beleive trumps steal BS. That brings the highest estimate to 57 million. Which is still only 20%. Get it right. It’s still too many morons: but we’re a country who disdains intelligence.

    1. @A Rivera exactly. There will be individual members of the army who side with trump but they will be weeded out or afraid to admit their allegiance

    2. For real. These are wannabes play-acting. They are all using their right hands. Unless they’re ALL left handed, these are MAGAts cosplaying as soldiers.

    3. LOL! america’s military is one of the worst trained in the world. The only reason they don’t die straight away is cause america can afford fancy gadgets for them. They win because of technology, not because of their pathetic training

    1. @kmlckd the idiots that say that are INSURRECTIONIST trying to take the government over by denying states rights.

    2. @Sereana Duwai they’ll have video of the traitors showing them INSURRECTIONISTS around the Capitol on the 5th . I’ll bet there’s a dozen from Congress and over 3000 arrests. . Someone tore out emergency buttons.
      20 years to the death sentence.

    3. @grantm : That confederate flag Nancy was just putting himself forward for Trump’s upcoming medal lolly scramble and pardon spree.

    1. @imacmill It reiterates that Trump lies incessantly. Kind of like, hey there is a rattle snake there, watch out.

    2. @Frank Franks “How many people died of the flu last year?” well, did we close down an entire nation to stop that flu from spreading? Nope. Seems your comparison needs some logic.

    3. @Major Major Again, the whole world knows this already, so what’s the pojnt of useless, non-statements line this? And they’re always upvoted into the hundreds. I say it’s Russian troll crap to increase anger.

  2. Show us the faces of the ranger style “Traitor team six” . Half of America will gladly help you ID them.

    1. @David Gutting Like Michael Flynn, Roger Stone and the 3 Blackwater war criminals? Losers all. The only sucker here is you, David.

  3. I don’t understand why they keep using the wrong term for those who attached the congress. They are not rioters. They are terrorists.

    1. @Michael Shigetani someday, Democrats will figure out ‘go high’ doesn’t mean soft language and allowing lies.

    2. Media is having a hard time trying to give everything a name.

      Republicans, Democrats and Independents are divided against the Trumpublican Terrorists that attacked our way of life. The problem is …we created them. We have to take care of our ex-military and our working class instead of using them and throwing them away.

    3. Completely agree. These are your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. And ALL Americans are complicit since they waged their brutal and never-ending war of aggression against the non-Western world over 50 years ago.

  4. They’re a bunch of LARPers. Unless they’re all left handed those are not professionals.
    You keep your firing hand free.

    1. noticed that too…even if they were not carrying a weapon I would think just muscle memory would take over.

    2. Need to be careful not to promote some kind of legitimacy to this riot or planned actions….will others join if they see on news that supposed trained former military vets operating as a unit are on their side? Beu of the 5th column discusses this in his podcast. Biden and all of us have alot of work to do. It all starts in our local community!
      .

  5. They’re holding each other by the right hand. You stack up with your off hand. There’s no way they’re all magically left handed. They’re hicks playing soldier. They aren’t soldiers.

    1. These are wannabes play-acting. They are all using their right hands. Unless they’re ALL left handed, these are MAGAts cosplaying as soldiers.

    1. @Roman Ward Hundred to one odds that none of you Trump people would even know what you were looking at even if a Dominion machine were disassembled right in front of you. Don’t feel bad. Most people myself included wouldn’t know either. People shouldn’t be so quick to act on such flimsy evidence from people like Melissa Carone ect. They might be setting themselves up for a lifetime of regret.

    1. Yes but thats not important to report on it. LOL
      They were lucky to get that far because of the amount of people and how few police was there.

    1. @Karin Reck maybe they got the same that trained the girls I bring it on. Maybe they learnt jazz hands to

    1. Yep, at least in that picture they’re imitating a movie they’ve seen and don’t understand why they’re doing what they’re doing…

    1. @Manuel “were”… Daesh fanatics of Sharia Law, in the United States, also refer to themselves as “soldiers”

  6. That is a really, really special “ranger file formation” – they’re all left handed! Either that or they aren’t really that well trained. I wonder which is more likely.
