Perspectives on the Assault on the Capitol

Listening to them talk about finding all that did this yesterday and arresting them. Now they want to do something. What about the thousands that rioted and looted these towns before the elections. Nothing about them.

[Skywise]

There was no “assault” on the capital anymore than when the Democrats did it for the Kavanaugh hearings.

BLM and AntiFa ran actual ASSAULTS on federal and city buildings ALL summer - but those were just peaceful protests?!

No - I don’t submit to your gaslighting

[mmichaels1970]

The mainstream media should also accept some responsibility.

That will never happen.

this should not change the response of responsible Republicans.

95% are crooks on the take IMHO.

Republicans should not let this embarrassing action deter them from calling for an investigation of election integrity and reform.

Which will go nowhere. Sort of like border security.

Stand for principled disagreement, but civil disagreement.

While the other side stands and has stood for the opposite.

This event should not be used to silence dialogue and disagreements on social media.

Yet it already has and is.

It’s time for making sure that future elections build back our faith in the election process.

I think that time has come and gone. Now that votes can be manufactured in centralized strategic urban locations, what's the incentive from those that control those centers to assist in any way with building back faith in the process? That faith may come back, but I don't see it happening in this generation.

Actually, they do have consequences. Positive consequences for the political side willing to engage in them. Politicians will be scared of those people and give them whatever they want. That’s the America we are living in now, so we either play by the new rules or we lose.

Fearporn from Townhall. Quelle dommage.

[Boogieman]

I think a lot of them were expecting Trump to “lead the charge” and not just point them at the Capitol and then disappear.

Congress Certifies Rigged Election

The media is in a tizzy when it was just a Portland event without the fires they approved of for the last six months.
The inexcusable actions by congress allows greater back room deals and under the table pay offs.
From gun grabs to no free speech type agendas to ensue at a high rate of speed.
Insert head between legs and kiss ass good by.

[MortMan]

If you have concerns, join those who will lobby state legislators to secure election integrity by passing state laws to ensure that.

When judicial fiat and illegal consent decrees between democrats and secretaries of state can abrogate those duly enacted laws, there is no law at all. None.

[Altura Ct.]

I don’t care who started the violence yesterday. This is a war the left started some time ago. They intend to destroy us. We either get on our knees to our Marxist overlords or stand and fight.

[cymbeline]

This was not a good day for our country - disagree

[election fraud] is a state’s rights issue - agree

Trump blamed Vice President Mike Pence - disagree

Pence’s refusal was Constitutional - agree

They never expected a Republican demonstration to become violent - No excuse. They knew violent people would be mixed in

Trump’s comments were reckless - disgree

No court or judge had yet provided a public airing and consideration of the serious allegations - agree

[Biden] would also be wise to call for an independent investigation into all the allegations of fraud - yeah, sure

Republicans should not let this embarrassing action - doesn’t embarrass me

[Trump’s] actions today hurt any legacy he might have had - ridiculous

from my friend Frank Welch

She was escorted to the killing fields by no less than 5 uniformed/ ARMED Capitol Police and they were all within 10 ft of her when she was shot.

One raised his gun to address the sound of gunshots but he failed to return any fire.(?)

The Capitol Police were right there.

Why was she shot by one person but not arrested or shot at by the Capitol Police who were right next to her while she was doing what she was doing?

[The Toll]

“They never expected a Republican demonstration to become violent”

That fact is why the steal happened in the first place.

[caww]

...”They never expected a Republican demonstration to become violent”....

But the Dems and the media always make certain it does though.

[NWFree]

All voters in all states have been disenfranchised in the national election due to the cheating of the states in question. Pointing this out and providing evidence is the right thing to do and is the reason we elected Trump. Being straight with people is just simply a foreign concept to our rulers.

[Lopeover]

After months of Police coddling BLM & Antifa, of other Democrat protestors over taking capital buildings during Kavanaugh hearings police shot & killed an unarmed white woman climbing through a window. She wanted her voice heard & her vote to count.

If you watched the video, the shooter shot to kill. Excessive force.

Especially since DC police helped the BLM/Antifa protesters get in the building.

[Seruzawa]

Here come the do-nothing scribblers again.

I didn't know that Townhall wrote the Op-ed. Terry Paulson is the author of the op-ed.

In case you don't know that Op-ed is short for Opinion-Editorial, which you probably do not know.

Also when Townhall.com writes an op-ed it is listed under Staff Townhall.com

State Laws did not matter

[Lopeover]

Here’s Pence doing his secret masonic handshake collecting his coin & getting elbow bummed by Pelosi.

I am leaving the Republican Party & taking as many MAGA as I can. I hope to give the GOP the pleasure FOX has experienced.
