Ginni Thomas, wife of "Justice" Clarence Thomas, sponsored 70 busses to drive their peeps down to DC for the riot. I wonder how many of those people who she delivered had weapons or wrist ties? And how much of this was Justice Thomas aware of?

Hmm?

Bipartisanship is something we will always need in order to stay a Democracy. And they didnt spit in Obama's hands, hell the Busch's and Obama's not only share candy but American values as well. Trump was far from a normal Republican.

Because of Michelle and W shared a piece of candy at a funeral service shows that the Republicans worked with Obama? Who was the "normal" Republican? The guy that lied us into longest running wars in American history? The crooks that got us into Iran-Contra and then one pardoned the other. Or how about the Watergate guy?

Mitch McConnell said from Day 1 of Obama's presidency that his job - their job - is to make Obama a one-term president. They fought him on EVERYTHING. Do you really deny that? When have republicans showed any sense of bipartisanship over the past four years while the crazy orange guy ruined this country? You're in for rude awakening, and I'll be right here to enjoy it, when you discover that the republicans will somehow "see the light" after this insurrection. Over 50% of republicans think that the riot at the Capitol was BIDEN'S FAULT! That's how cra cra they are.

Like I said. This is a different Republican Party no question. But if we dont get back to some sense of sharing the same core values than what do you suggest? The parties aren't going to go away. Find common ground or there will be more anarchy. Unless you have a better suggestion? Should we keep pointing fingers across the aisle. Hold our breath until our faces turn blue? Divide up the states. No. America is going to move on no mater how much you cry.

Who's "we"? As I understand things, the Democrats want to get some things done. They don't.

My suggestion has been to make these ass-holes pay a political price and not to make nice with them. Make them lose House and Senate seats. Fill both chambers with Democrats. Don't put your arm around them.

They're cops. They're not Doctors of philosophy. One of the protestors - probably a cop or retired cop - Tased himself in the balls to death.

I've seen cases where cops do the dumbest things. This, however, takes it to a whole knew level.

Yeah, who wants to unite with violent, racist traitors? And the folks calling for unity are the guilty and those sympathetic to the guilty. What’s next, bipartisanship with ISIS?

"Oh, they're not such bad folks."

"WE" are the United States. And honestly, you sound just like one of "Them". Just because you were around for the Civil War doesnt mean "we" have to create another one. Were supposed to be better than "Them".

This must be Frothbrain's idea of a responsible Representative in the House of Congress.

The second tweet uses the same insane logic as Frothbrain from the same disgusting cesspool of MAGA propaganda.

So don't post here as if you really, really care about the polarization of politics while you simultaneously attempt to flatten the distinctions between a seditious mob and your fantasy Antifa people and pretend you're not a disingenuous apologist looking for loopholes.

These insurrectionists continue to peddle your Antifa BS so cut the crap already!

Yes. We're supposed to show what actual Law & Order is, not mimick the head on spikes rhetoric of MAGA.

I don't know the details of votes needed, but if it comes down to a straight majority I'd assume the Dems can at least get rid of some of these traitors from the House. There's more than a few of them.

These Black Capitol Police Officers Describe Fighting Off "Racist-Ass Terrorists"

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emmanuelfelton/black-capitol-police-racism-mob

Spoiler:

“That was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us,” said the officer, who has been with the department for more than a decade. “They had radios, we found them, they had two-way communicators and earpieces. They had bear spray. They had flash bangs ... They were prepared. They strategically put two IEDs, pipe bombs, in two different locations. These guys were military trained. A lot of them were former military,” the officer said, referring to two suspected pipe bombs that were found outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee.

The officer even described coming face-to-face with police officers from across the country in the mob. He said some of them flashed their badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain that this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help.

“You have the nerve to be holding a Blue Lives Matter flag, and you are out there **** us up,” he told one group of protesters he encountered inside the Capitol. “[One guy] pulled out his badge and he said, ‘We’re doing this for you.’ Another guy had his badge. So I was like, ‘Well, you gotta be kidding.’”

Another officer, a newer recruit, echoed these sentiments, saying that where he was on the steps to the Rotunda on the east side of the Capitol, he was engaged in hand-to-hand battles trying to fight the attackers off. But he said they were outnumbered 10 to 1, and described extraordinary scenes in which protesters holding Blue Lives Matter flags launched themselves at police officers.

“We were telling them to back up and get away and stop, and they’re telling us they are on our side, and they’re doing this for us, and they’re saying this as I’m getting punched in my face by one of them … That happened to a lot of us. We were getting pepper-sprayed in the face by those protesters — I'm not going to even call them protesters — by those domestic terrorists,” said the officer.

While it was a hard day for almost every officer at the Capitol, Black officers were in a particularly difficult position, he said, and he drew a stark contrast with how police handled the Black Lives Matter protests this summer.

“There’s quite a big difference when the Black Lives Matter protests come up to the Capitol,” he said. “[On Wednesday], some officers were catering to the rioters.”

He said that what upset him the most was when he later saw images of a white colleague taking a selfie with the attackers, seeming to enjoy his time with the insurrectionists who were roaming the US Capitol with Confederate flags and other symbols of white supremacy.

“That one hurt me the most because I was on the other side of the Capitol getting my ass kicked,” he said.

Give these guys a medal

Collins is one of my least favorite politicians of all time. A completely two-faced ahole.

I do hope someone investigates her election results along with McConnell and Graham. It didn't add up

First, I take exception to your impugning my institutional memory.

Second, there needs to be a partner in order for there to be a “we.” They have proven that they don’t want to partner with us over and over again. I’m not sure what further proof you need.

Are you against using the 14th Amendment to remove those legislators who supported this insurrection or are they are “partners”?

What happened to “WE”? Don’t you want to work together with centrist republican Susan Collins?
