We have basically transitioned to a full scale banana republic. We have fully weaponized the government to selectively enforce different laws. Between the January 6 hysterics to the lawfare launched against Donald Trump.
Let's cut out melodramatics, her kid had a kid. That doesn't give her the right to break law. What did she actually do in those 10 minutes and where was she. . Sick of the drama. .
She walked around the Capitol building…a public taxpayer owned building.
That's it
It's a building owned by the American people…not an imperial palace or some Chinese forbidden city.
Its Senate and Representative chambers are literally built with public balconies so that the public citizens can watch their servants carry out public business
.
You want to play games like it is a public building, Capitol Police said not to go in
No games…it's a serious question with constitutional implications.
When did we decided as a Nation that the people's house was off limits to the people?
Now maybe the Senate and House chambers specifically can maybe-perhaps be closed on certain (very limited) time frames for Senate and House business.
(Even then we have deal with the fact that the chambers themselves are built with public galleys/balconies so that the general public can come in off the street and watch public business talking place)
But the idea that the entire Capitol complex is closed to the people of the United States is suspect to say the least….certainly far outside the expectations of the Founding Fathers.
Serious response. You guys rail on personal responsibility, usually about finances because most on here are well off, how is this different?
You see the situation going south. There are Police barricades. People are breaking windows. People are scaling the walls, wearing military gear, waving Confederate flags. People popped smoke....
What do you do? Join the mob and go in? Or get out of there? Come on. It does not take military training to know to get away from that site! Go to any basic Krav Maga class, rule #1 get away from danger. Not tough stuff.
You join the mob, go inside take selfies while people are overrunning the Capital. You think this is the peoples house, they can't do anything? Or, no one will care that Congress had to be evacuated. Really, who f-ing thinks that way?
No, what this is about is these poor schmucks thought Donald was going to Pardon them all. They trusted Donald. He hung them out to dry. They now have criminal records while he walked away, covered himself with a BS "go peacefully", and turned it into a rally cry for 2024. These people believed in him, and he used them. You wonder why I hate Trump, look at Jan 6th and the aftermath for those people who believed in him. Most lives are at best set back and at worst ruined. He turned his back in a second, smirking...
You guys are villanizing law enforcement and the courts, they are doing their jobs. You CAN'T have Jan 6th and not come down hard. CIA guy knows that, but he likes Donald more than the poor schmucks Donald used.
Disagree, many do. Bannon has crafted a story these poor people want to believe.
