Yes, we just turned off the TV...my 8 year old was getting upset listening to us...breath taken, cool down started.....
I’m at the point of doing the same. However before I leave the forum, I do have a question. What is the possibility that some anarchists or left wing group infiltrated the protest and were the ones doing the damage to try and make the true supporters look bad? I mean, I’m sure it may be far fetched, but you have to wonder if it is a play in the dems handbook.

Yeah when I first turned on the TV, first thing I did was mute the tv, I ignored the Ticker Tape on the bottom, just sat back and watched with the thought it was already predicted it was going to be a Wild Day, I just did not know what was going to make it Wild...TVs are off now, seen enough, I pray no one gets seriously hurt or dies. It is sad it had to come down to this...But I think we all feel their anger...

This is the natural progression of what happens when elected officials ignore the will of the people, I said before the American people are NOT putting up with this blatant disregard.
I do not condone thisbut one sweet takaway was a picture of the "Squad" cowering in fear. Hopefully some of this gets through to them.

Very possible, it happens all the time now a days...Normally the youth are the ones who go out of control though...

What I think is being missed is that this indicates the level of contempt many ten of millions, and maybe even hundreds of millions, have for what passes itself off as Congress today. They are so far removed from what life is actually like for their "constituents" that they haven't got a clue. I am not supporting property damage, but given the level of frustration it is understandable. If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure I've heard multiple factions of the Marxist/Socialist/Leftist/Progressive/Douchbag/Democrats call for burning down the Government over the last couple of years. I guess if they do it, it's OK but no fires were set in the Capitol building so maybe that's what makes it so bad.

And as long as the vile and militant Marxist/Socialist/Leftist/Progressive/Douchbag/Democrats continue to demand that compromise means do everything the way they want, and think the way they want, the inherently peace-seeking conservatives will find it harder and harder to accept being trampled on.

I just heard some democrat on TV calling this a violent coup attempt. Probably one of the same ones who called burning the cities a peaceful protest.

Indeed...

In fact, long before the election played out

“There is a process. It has nothing to do with if the certain occupant of the White House doesn’t feel like moving and has to be fumigated out of there because the presidency is the presidency,” House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an interview with MSNBC. JULY 20, 2020

Anyone who can support Trump at this point is

Look, folks were peacefully protesting in June in DC. With permission from a church to use their yard. They were chased off with teargas and rubber bullets because the president wanted to wave a bible around, upside down. If you don't think this is about black and white, your eyes are closed.
I guess now the Covid is going cold, and it was YOUR novelty the past eight months. Your are going to try to push BS else where.
You swear in the pandemic thread that you were not politically motivated.
But now you are here in this thread post after post in a dunking rage.

Exactly why I am letting all of this play out. I believe there is more to the story than what the media is reporting.
