A lot of Republican supporters have guns.  50 security guards vs 500 armed rioters wouldn't end well.

Agreed. 

Why weren’t they ready for something?

Acting Secretary of Defence said he discussed deployment of the NG with Pence, not Trump. He has also spoken with the party leaders of both houses about the situation, but not Trump. Seems that Donald is being cut out by his own administration.

There are rumours Pence is in the middle of the process of invoking the 25th amendment. I can't imagine he would have the integrity. He never showed any signs of it before.

I guess they’re treating this as another “protest” with a few bad eggs...  actually, peaceful protestors were treated much harsher by law enforcement so that Trump could wave around a bible, than the armed insurrection that is ongoing.

What a country.... 

Biden is going to need to clear house of the law enforcement leadership of those who didn’t stop an insurrection taking over the government.  Possibly even charges against them.

Why does Pence need integrity to do it?  He'd get to be POTUS and the Democrats would support it.

Might want to ask the people who give them their orders.

At the end of the day most of these chuds have to go back to their used car dealerships and landscaping jobs and worry about child support, they're far too soft to actually get into a civil war situation.
And thankfully too stupid to realize the civil war will be a right-wing one Trump has started in the GOP. This is why I've been saying go Trump go for so long.

The real fault line in America is or should be clear for all to see and Democrats should do everything they can to widen it. This is not the time to show mercy.

Trump’s Twitter account has been locked.  Twitter says it may be suspended.   LOL

Not sure why they are letting people who participated in an insurrection just leave though.  They should be surrounded and arrested, or shot.
OTOH...letting them live to fight another day provides more opportunity for the right-wing to keep blowing up in it's own face.

Seems to me if you've got two enemies who might start shooting at one another you might want to just lay low and see what develops.

Guys, these were mostly peaceful protests.  They were generally not unruly! 🤣

I've honestly never been quite sure if you are writing a fun parody of a comically stupid right-winger or if you're really this stupid.

I write for purpose and to expose the stink of rank hypocrisy on the left and the left wing media.  That’s actually a quote from CNN during the summer related to the riots.

The stink is coming from the Oval Office. Trump would do the world and his country a big favour if he dropped dead from a stroke tonight. I think he is headed there anyway.
