Exactly. It's this guy and the other, what, 200 people that gave the whole thing a black eye?

Protesting on the steps is legal.

Of course when they were protesting Kavanaugh, they had people in Chuck Schumer's office watching tv.
The barricades were before the steps. The moment they moved past the barricades, they were trespassing.

The big question is how did this group breach security so easily? That's equally troubling.
Have you seen the video where the cops simply removed the barricades? I assume at that point they were not going to fight a group that had already made it to the last barricade.

Was tear gas used on truly peaceful protests? I know it was used in Portland but those protests were less peaceful than what happened in DC yesterday.

I guess the winners get to write the history and it doesn't matter whether it's true or not.

I wonder if she was alluding to the protest at Lafayette Park in DC.

No I hadn't seen that. With so many protestors against a small force, I wasn't surprised that the police retreated.

Yup. It's not like they didn't know this protest was coming. It was announced weeks in advance.
I'm sure the Sergeant's At Arms in the Capitol are on thin ice right now.

You forgot 4 people killed, 14 cops injured, pipe bombs and an IED found and instilling fear in over 600 people in the actual building. But yeah, let's give this fuckers a pass b/c they only did it once. Let's rationalize violence b/c we agree with the supporters. :ohno: So much for "Back the Blue."

I especially enjoyed the Patriots with the Confederate Flag, breaking the law and trespassing in the name of upholding election law. That's how I like my irony! :mrgreen:
How many buildings were burned down? How many stores were looted? How many statues were torn down? How many CHAZ no go zones were there? How many incendiarys and molotovs were shot/thrown at the fed building?

150 police injured during BLM protests in DC this past Spring.

Oh give me a fucking break. The left and their allies in the deep state spent 3 years attempting a coup on Trump. The kneecapped his presidency for 2 years with a bogus investigation that included using fraud to obtain FISA warrant and a fabricated dossier.. When that didn’t work, they impeached him over a benign phone call. When that didn't work they rigged an election.

There’s no doubt that the Democratic Party went looney tunes with their non-stop, “ impeach 45” and their laser focus and hatred for the man. That’s as obvious as the tan on Trumps face.

But it doesn’t mean Trump is pure as the driven snow and doesn’t deserve criticism for doing something wrong - like adding as much debt as Obama did.



Or you know, incite an insurrection. He failed to make America grew again.
