I don’t know about other major news channels, but I was watching ABC News all evening and they were very vocally questioning why the response to this was so piss-poor and openly comparing it to the BLM protests this summer. NPR this morning was doing the same. Also, seeing so many of their reporters and commentators wh…

one thing I’ve seen is people screeching about “your side would have burned down buildings11!!!” I think burning a building (which can be rebuilt) is a far cry from trying to overturn a legal election just because your orange leader lost.

There was video of the fucking cops helping the goddamn rioting shitbags down the stairs after they hurt their fee fee’s.

The White House authorized it during the BLM protests. So its likely the Defense Dept denied it because big orange wouldn’t approve.

Hell, that crowd would have already been filled with tear gas, beanbag rounds and rubber bullets long before people tried pulling down barriers. We saw the stuff cops have for crowd control this summer. I don’t know who has jurisdiction over the DC police, but they need to clean house- seriously, tell the union…

And these assholes have been hyping this up on social media for weeks. What? You honestly believe that law enforcement didn’t think these goons were going to show up when their leader told them to? And you honestly believe that people like Rudy advocating for “trial by combat” were just fucking around?

this is fucking insane. Trump 100% incited an insurrection riot.

It would have been a massacre. 

this is fucking insane. Trump 100% incited a riot.

Dear Republicans,

I could be wrong but I believe there may be some kind of skin bias here....

Isn’t everything?

Don’t forget he’s been saying it would be rigged against him his entire presidency. 

Keep thinking of the fable of the frog and the scorpion. Trump is the scorpion, and the Republican frogs knew it.

I’ve seen several news sites already pointing how this is the logical conclusion of the Republican party ‘humoring’ Trump for a short while.

Let’s be 100% clear about what is happening. The sitting President, who legitimately lost an election via the same process that he legitimately won an election four years ago, has spent the last two months convincing supporters that the election was stolen, and now after a rally in which he incited them to commit…

Dear Republicans,

The cops wouldn't be beating them. The cops would be shooting them.

You think it would have just been beatings?

so much white privilege here. If it had been POC or Latinos or liberals, the cops would have started beating people.
