Why any of the old time Republicans are still members of the party is beyond me. I would have thought a new party would have already been established.
      Originally in the twentieth century the Republican Party was the party of business, and you wouldn't find many working class people in it.

      One good thing that CAN come of this, is their right to vote could be taken away. Depending on the severity of the crime. I am sure some people did much more than others and the arrests have to be made specifically for that person. It takes a while and each person may not get the same punishment. But if charged with a felony they may never be able to legally vote again. Next time we do audits it will be to catch THEM fake voting.

They have been demonizing cops for months over 200 police officers have been murdered by BLM and ANTIFA and they won't even admit ANTIFA is real. But because these officers cried after their stories they want to give them medals. We saw some video from a officers cam but not the video part he claims he was tazered over and over again .

    This is in response to someone that said he would’ve preferred someone that can read text and felt no compassion. first of all I don’t believe you watched the whole thing. Second of all, we can sit here all day and debate. The bottom line is that you don’t think what happened at the Capitol was bad. It was bad. I mean very bad. So bad that all the hypocrites that talk so much bull about allowing our cops to do their jobs and showing them respect, have turned their backs on this issue. Or worse they’re trying to devalue it. I won’t even ask you to picture your son or your father sitting there and tell his story and how would you feel if no one was as pained by what he’s saying as you. The truth is that as a human being you think he’s less than you. And you’d mow down the Capitol yourself to uphold your belief. Thankfully More than half the country disagrees. We all benefit in a positive way because of it. That’s what’s fair. One more thing to answer the original post. No one else had a problem with how he was reading. His job depends on learning and understanding, and THAT he did very well when he protected the Capitol

      Get the FBI to release the body camera footage of all those officers. Explain why the FBI will not release the countless hours of footage? If being over run by people with no weapons is such an issue then why did a few of those officers, willingly open the gate? Was all this staged? Is it a political stunt? I don't know but I do know that to this date the FBI has not released any of the Officers body cameras and that is very suspicious, it gives the appearance of them trying to hide evidence.
