    An attempted coup led by a sitting American president, no less.

    I said I was opposed to political violence by any name. You seem to think by not sharing your heated rhetoric I am somehow “defending” something.

    Again, if you think this is an average, just another day in America, type event, your downplaying of the seriousness of what is happening is defending it. We have never in our history had armed insurrectionists attempt to thwart the work of congress certifying the electoral college results. Never. Ever. There is nothing at all remotely normal about what is going on and trying to claim it is normal is defending the indefensible.

    I’m reading that several state capitals have some trouble brewing as well ... I live 4 blocks from the AZ capital and helicopters have been circling for over an hour now.

    Look, It is serious. I think it’s serious. I turned on the radio just long enough to hear daddy Joe give a very nice, on target talk to America. He asked Donald Trump to tell everyone to go home. Donald Trump asked everyone to go home.

    I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”





    But when America celebrates going into the street to riot, well, you know, more that shit happens.

    Agreed. I hope the 15 injured survive. As you and I know, CPR on a gurney traveling to the ambulance does not bode well for the first shooting victim :-(

    After lying about the integrity of the elections and telling his insurrectionists that he loves them and that "'THEY' stole from us but what can we do?"

    Hardly a statement of support for the democratic process. He is cultivating his cult following. (Hmm, now I have to look up the etymology of "cultivate" and "cult")

    Well, there was lots of damage. Large & small businesspeople will tell you that... Otherwise I'm with ya there.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    Because he doesn’t?

    I don’t either.
