[Ilsa]

1. Traitors who can't even follow

proper flag protocol.

[LakeArenal]

19. But apparently can stay in the rope line in the Capital.

So okay.....Right Ron Johnson?

[Solly Mack]

2. Can we deport "tourists"?

To anywhere. The moon, space in general.

[bottomofthehill]

5. Gitmo

[Solly Mack]

10. Nah.

[Rebl2]

39. Gitmo

to good for them.

[niyad]

49. Abu Ghraib

[Jilly_in_VA]

74. NO

Don't pollute Cuba. They're making serious environmental efforts there.

[lagomorph777]

65. Siberia

[Solly Mack]

66. Nah.

Wouldn't inflict them on other people.

A never ending voyage through space is still my choice.

[PatSeg]

3. Just some enthusiastic tourists

getting a little rowdy.

How many videos will it take before republicans realize it was real and terrifying?

[Buns_of_Fire]

4. They're convinced they were never in any real danger.

Got news for them: ANYONE wearing a House or Senate pin was in danger of getting the snot beaten out of them (at best).

[bottomofthehill]

7. There were cries of get the suits

And one person, I will try to find the video calling for death to all in the building.

[bottomofthehill]

8. This was as real as it gets.

And for all those saying they just got swept up in it, bullshit, you enabled it and gave cover to those who were doing real harm.

May you all serve time

[RegularJam]

20. This

“And for all those saying they just got swept up in it, bullshit, you enabled it and gave cover to those who were doing real harm.”

[PatSeg]

11. Yes, the threat was very real

and all those in the building knew they were in serious danger. They reckless and foolish even with their own safety.

[bottomofthehill]

31. Very few of them were reckless on that day

Most followed direction looking to remain safe. A few were of the Bullshit tough variety, but most scared and followed. But after the face, once they knew they were safe, the “telephone tuff guys “ emerged. Those that talk the big fight, then there was no fight. What a load of shit. They were scared until it was politically expedient to say they weren’t.

[PatSeg]

51. Yes, exactly

Scared shitless when confronted with danger, but later cavalier and dismissive once the threat had passed. Reminds me of Barney Fife in the Andy Griffith show, but not funny.

[bottomofthehill]

53. Copy that, not funny

Not funny on 1/6 and less funny now.

[PatSeg]

54. There are certain defining moments

in most people's lives and for most republicans in congress, 1/6 was it and there is no walking it back. Some mistakes cannot be undone. History will not be kind.

[PatSeg]

9. On that day and immediately after,

republicans in congress DID know it was real and that they were in grave danger, but now they are trying to convince their constituents that was no big deal. They are slaves to their base, making them slaves to Trump. Mindboggling.

[erronis]

23. The (r)epuglicons don't care about reality, truth. They have their own reasons.

And their reasons revolve around racism, russia, remuneration, and reputation.
The "remuneration" piece is for the moneys their receiving (tax-free) to destroy democracy, and
the "reputation" piece is just because they know their balls/tits are in a wringer to the blackmailers.

[PatSeg]

57. It still blows my mind

that there are so many people who put absolutely no value on truth, that they will do or say whatever they think best serves their interests at the moment, without a thought to the future or accountability. Of course, if they are already compromised, i.e. "remuneration" and/or blackmail, perhaps they have reached the point of no return.

[hadEnuf]

56. They know EXACTLY what happened

And they are complicit in it.

That's reason for the absolutely absurd denials and nonsensical conspiracy theories.

Things may have gotten out of hand as opposed to their expectations and many may now know that they were targets as well, but many or most knew of the plan.

Better to spin absurd denials than go to prison for treason.

[PatSeg]

58. And in many cases,

they could be putting off the inevitable. Not all will be held accountable, but I'm sure some will eventually. I'll bet a lot of them experience many sleepless nights.

[hadEnuf]

60. As well they should.

This was a plan for a violent coup of the US government so Trump could be installed as a dictator. There is no other way to spin it.

[WarGamer]

6. lol the officer took the flag pole away from him like a Kindergarten Teacher taking a toy...

Big tough magat my ass.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Lol my ass.

Don't know what you were looking at, wasn't funny at all.

[WarGamer]

48. Maybe you can re-watch the video then.

Magat was swinging the stick around and banged the top of the barrier. Capitol Police officer grabbed it right out of his hand...

That's the only comment I made... and lol'd because big tough magat got owned.

I've noticed you're always critical of my posts, what's up with that, KOAD?

Feels like harassment.

[WarGamer]

12. I don't think I'd use the word "horrifying"...

Angering, yes... disappointing, yes...

Horrifying is the video from a couple years ago of the US Soldiers butchered in Niger in 2018.

[RegularJam]

22. Images of an attempted overthrow of the US Constitution...

More than qualify as horrifying.

[demtenjeep]

13. where is the video?

do we not get to see it?

[Nevilledog]

15. It's in the top Tweet.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

14. Republicans are psychopaths

Republican beliefs are sociopathic,that's why it supports racism,greed,free market trickle down bullshit,it explains why they never renew the violence against women act, thier homophobia,getting rid of Obamacare, social hierarchy,
making gun laws so anyone can own one,allowing cars to run over protesters with no repercussions, ,divine right of kings,transphobia ,abortion to control women.. all this crap and then some is designed to hurt people and it fucks up people's lives. It is supported and justified by their sociopathic beliefs and their dark triad personality types ..

Thier destructive anti social beliefs are not fit to be tolerated and these fucking people that believe this shit are unfit to live among us and in society,period.

[ffr]

17. Plumbism. 0 - 100% crazy in the blink of an eye.

Pb

[KT2000]

18. Is this the same guy

who gouged the cops eye?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Yep. He should have been shit on the spot.

[dalton99a]

45. .

[KT2000]

50. OMG - had not seen that pic

Hope they put him away for ever.

[Historic NY]

21. I plan to give a reception if he is in my neighborhood.

Webster is a scumbag.....

[dmr]

26. This truly upsetting.

I was in horror, and disbelief while watching this live. I could not believe that law reinforcements didn't arrive to help and stop these people.

I'm an old lady in Northern Michigan and I cannot find the words of how I felt that afternoon, and how I feel today. But I felt violated as my Capitol dome was taken over by people who believed in the lies spewed by Donald and his enablers. At that time, I had no idea that it was far, far worse and far, far more violent than what I watched on TV that day. Learning all this has literally made me sicker.

I know i am not alone.

I want answers. I want punishment. As an American citizen I cannot rest until I find some sort of action is taken. I deserve that.

I love my country. America is not perfect, but it is worthy of respect, and honesty. I hate the thought that so many people are being led by the nose by a lying madman egged on by those with money, and enabled by the gullible to destroy my (our) America. The United Stares of America that is the very best created since the beginning of time. The beginning of when this earth was formed. I realize I'm sounding melodramatic, but I do believe it, and I can't find the words to truly articulate it all.

I watched this video, and I want no more lies, or excuses. I'm afraid of losing my (our) America. But these assholes are set to destroy it.

I want to kick some asses, dammit! Kicked right into a jail cell.

[bottomofthehill]

42. Thank you.

Your comments help the healing process. As people (Republicans) try to change the perception of what we all saw happen, I appreciate it when people stand in the truth. Here is the truth the way I see it. It is long and I have posted parts of it before but it helps to vent.

Imagine in one of the most iconic and beautiful buildings in the word, the US Capitol. Imagine going to work in a place where you try to keep people safe, democracy on track, preserve order, work to allow our country’s elected representatives in the House and Senate do their jobs.

Then imagine having to go to work in a place where your fellow country men and women came dressed for battle (Kevlar, helmets, shields, goggles, tactical vests and gear) armed to the teeth (home made napalm, pipe bombs, spears, clubs, bats, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, crutches, plumbing supplies, pool cues, mace, tasers, pepper spray, black flag wasp and hornet spray, WD 40, Fire Extinguishers, piss, shit….and we will never know how many guns, as it is not like this insurrectionist crew was screened) to assault your workplace, your co workers and threaten to hang and shoot people you work to protect on a daily basis in an open insurrection against American democracy at the behest of the President of the United States.

Further imagine after getting the everloving shit kicked out of you for hours by a crowd that outnumbered you by about 50 to 1 that included active military, reserve military, retired military, active police officers, retired police officers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, pool company owners, gym owners, general contractors, fucking nuts of every variety. Fighting quite literally for your life while holding out for support military support that you believed would come but never did, only supported by the local law enforcement organizations (thank you metropolitan police department MPD!) that were scrambling as fast as they could, all while screamed at by the crowd told that you are supporting the wrong side, are a traitor and are going to die.

Then you are accused by the other side of being complicit in the attack and allowing it to happen. Accused of Facilitating the entrance of those you spent hours fighting against, inviting the invaders into the Capitol.

Next the gaslighting begins, the President says they were peace loving people and “we love you” “go home in peace”, the very Members you fought to protect and keep safe start saying thing like “a regular tourist day at the Capitol”, “we are told that the Feds are harassing peaceful protestors” (remember he is talking about those who have been arrested for violently attacking police officers and the US itself) been told the crowd was “in a a happy festive atmosphere until the police set upon the crowd” and told “the protestor (yes a member of Congress has decided she was just a peaceful protestor) who was shot while trying to get into the house chamber where Members of Congress were trapped, was unnecessary use of force”, been told that “only Trump supporters were harmed that day (150+ cops would disagree), they say this was no insurrection”, Jesus Christ, they started making speeches on the Floor of the House and in Committee hearings that “this was much to do about nothing”.

Imagine that the next day, and the next day and the next day and the next day, you go back to work tired, exhausted, missing your family due to the extreme scheduling you have been under since 1/6 working well over 68 hours a week protecting these fucking jerks, 12 hour shifts so you don’t see much of your spouse, children, pets, whatever is important to your (although the DC ME thinks that a healthy police officer died of natural causes after collapsing while the attack was ongoing and there is video evidence of his attack with chemical agents) suicide and mental and emotional trauma from being involved in a mid evil battle in the space around the Capitol.


There is so much more that they are trying to hide.

[Boomerproud]

55. Thank you ma'am.

I echo your sentiment. I also watched in real time and it's only gotten worse with time. I have grand nephews and nieces and I am honestly very frightened for their future like I never have before.

[Martin Eden]

61. America: Love it and Make it Better

The "Love it or Leave it" crowd are NOT true patriots. Not during the Vietnam War, and certainly not in the age of Trumpism with fascism on the rise.

If you truly Love something you nurture it, recognizing and correcting faults which diminish our country and our people.

[ananda]

27. Typical tourists, riigghht....

....

[struggle4progress]

28. "Do not feed the Republican tourists!"

[Blue Owl]

29. These are tRump's goons

Lock him up, then all of them...

[mahina]

30. Holy crap

I really hope he got his ass handed to him and is going to prison.

[dalton99a]

32. Our Capitol was violently attacked by Trump's terrorists.

[spike jones]

33. DOJ list of people charged for 1/6 crimes.

[ancianita]

43. Thank you.

[mahina]

34. Link to his case with charges

And yes he is in jail where he belongs till he goes to prison!

[FakeNoose]

35. These people were fed some kind of "crazy" drug

Lock them all up!

[bucolic_frolic]

36. These people have boundary and anger management issues

borderline sociopaths and psychopaths in my view

[azureblue]

37. the media should quit sugar coating it

this was an attempted coup, treason, and Trump and the GOP were behind it. Trump lost the election so they created a plot and put it into action, to overthrow the government of the United States.
One and all, they should suffer the penalty for treason and that is death. Or at best, life sentences with no parole.

[BadgerMom]

38. Oh, yeah. Just tourists. /s

We need a frickin’ investigation. It’s hard not to label Republicans obstructionist traitors.

[turbinetree]

40. Chicken shit assholes....

[Aviation Pro]

41. Can't wait

Until this fucking scumbag is hauled away in chains from the courtroom, blubbering and sobbing, for his inevitable destiny of having his shit pushed in.

[Treefrog]

52. Ah, the inevitable prison rape joke.

Har har!

[Generic Other]

44. Police and Military need to be given maximum jail time as a warning and example

to any others who violate their oath.

Same with members of Congress or any other politicians.

That cop deserves to spend some time in prison rehabilitating himself.

[tinymontgomery]

46. They need to release all the videos

They need to release all the videos to put a stop to the republicans trying to white wash the
insurrection. Shouldn’t make the media have to fight to put them to make them public.

[GoodRaisin]

47. Oh my. I hope they are keeping him in jail. Nt

[LymphocyteLover]

59. And how soon would this psycho have been shot if he were black?

[appmanga]

62. Isn't this...

...the same person (and he barely qualifies for that attribution) who was trying to gouge out the eyes of an officer? I thought the House managers statements would have been much more powerful had they had that photo as an exhibit and backdrop.

[progressoid]

63. Yup. n/t

[SergeStorms]

64. No biggie.

Just the usual "touristy" stuff. Move on, nothing to see here.

[NoMoreRepugs]

67. Sooner the Non-Deplorable portion of America realizes who is on the other side and decides what each

of us individually is willing to do the better. I took an oath in 1971 when I joined the USMC - it still stands today.

[world wide wally]

68. Fucking tourists

[IcyPeas]

69. and we can't get a freakin commission to look into who was responsible for this insurrection

PROOF? we have it....it's right here on film.... and we can't get a January 6 commission?

they need to be held accountable for fucksake!

if it was democrats who did this they would all be in jail by now along with dem congresspeople. COME ON FOR FUCKSAKE.

[Rural_Progressive]

70. My goodness

the tourists are feisty this year.

[marble falls]

71. He'll be in jail soon enough. Let's get them all.

[OverBurn]

72. Nothing to see, just peaceful protesters touring the capitol. Holy shit, these idiots are deranged

[Jilly_in_VA]

73. I honestly wish

that the cops had shot more insurrectionists. Maybe then the bastards would stop making so much light of it. Sorry not sorry.

[Lucky Luciano]

75. They all should have been slaughtered by machine gun.

[BobTheSubgenius]

76. Until this event, I had no idea how enthusiastic tourists were when visiting the Capitol.

They were downright exuberant.
