No Problem, Sund can get a new job in Beijing putting down the Hong Kong anti Communist Demonstrations.

They don't have guns there either.

Deep State wants him out of sight because they’re losing the propaganda war.

Deep State told the Capitol Police to let them in and people are asking why...

the only difference between this peaceful protest and the hundreds that have happened before is the fact that the capital police let these people come into the building.

"...resignation..."


My sense is that many of these so-called resignations are virtue-signaling or symbolic.
Many of these swampy Deep State people likely have a new gig (with better pay) already awaiting.

Now Newsmax sounds like Fox, CNN and MSNBC.

Everybody wants to be not seen as an “extremist” to keep their jobs and sell their crap. Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice. Chickenchits one and all.

Just a whole lot of this starting to look like the scripted 28 July 1932 Bonus-Army-Riot. It would eventually ‘wash’ Hoover out, and bring FDR in. Same case then....marginal DC/capital police force and not capable of handling anything.

Mitch should be hammered for nonconfidence, ultimately he’s responsible for his House!

I suspected Newsmax was bent. They were showing signs of it.

They’re done.

IIRC, just as the Comey resignation and others, resigning stops cold any investigation of actions performed while holding that government position, as well as locking and protecting the the pension.

Slick scumbag shyster move enacted by Congress critters quietly.

Did anyone see the melee in the statuary hall where the rioters were fighting the Capitol Police? Who were these violent thugs? They need to be identified.

I am not in favor of mob action. Apparently, the lawlessness inside the Capitol claimed two lives.

Ahhhhh, very good find, Covenantor! That would totally make sense.
This person probably has a six-figure annual lifetime pension heading their way.
Just depart now, get another low-stress gig, and enjoy watching the money arrive for a few decades.

The perception is the Trump supporters now own this like the peaceful BLM owned the antifa riots of the summer. In both cases there were people who were peacefully protesting but were lumped in to those breaking the law.

This was not an antifa only riot. For example this video clearly shows Trump supporters attacking capitol police. So how was it that we got to this point?

Experts claim it is right-wing conspiracies that are to blame. The challenge with their premise is that it is just wrong. There is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.

The woman was murdered was a Trump supporter. I am not sure that those attacking capitol police were Trump supporters, but I presume some of them were. Some probably had previous arrests, anger management problems, whether they were Antifa, Trump supporters, or whomever they were.

Who were the inciters? Were they organized? Were they using cell phones or Amazon purchased Chinese radios to communicate (like Antifa)?
