It's scary to think this could happen...storm and take over the capital...it makes me nervous.
I'm not surprised. I think your fear is genuine, if irrational.

I'll tell you what no media will - the truth. These people are frustrated. They don't believe that politicians are listening to them. They have no access to them. They learned that Pence was not going to help them. As a result, they wanted to enter the building so that their politicians would have to hear their protest, instead of merely ignore it as white noise outside the building. That's it. No plan. No rational objection. Just acting out of frustration. The equivalent of yelling at someone to get their attention.

They broke laws, but they are not there to harm politicians or to usurp the government of the country.

There. Will you sleep better tonight?

You are delusional...you never tell the truth, you are in the alternative universe. You are the worse and most unreliable source of information.

The election is over...Trump lost...did you hear that news?

Well, I tried to help. Maybe you could try some tranquilizers?

Any decent human being, who voted GOP or DEM, knows perfectly well that Pence's role was purely symbolic today and that he did not had the power to turn over the result.

Trump used Pence to inflate his base. Making them think he could do something. But his base has the average intelligence of a trout so they bought it...

Trump sure cleared them out of Lafayette Square efficiently so he could pose with a bible like he was God himself...Mr Law and Order president he called himself.

He sure has handled today differently.
Can you imagine if 30,000 black rioters had invaded the CAPITOL?

Yes, I'm sure they are just as frustrated as you are that there is zero evidence of fraud, 62 failed court cases and yet their social media and right wing echo chambers keep telling them that the election was stolen.
And dear leader, the conman who was accused of rape by his own wife and is being sued by his own niece for fraud, keeps telling them they are 'special' and told them to march up Pennsylvania Ave.

It must be frustrating to be a moron who has no grip on reality, wouldn't you agree?

I can imagine it. Law enforcement would be told to stand down and the networks would all be talking about the justifiable outrage that lead to the invasion. How do I know this? Because that's what the media did for months just this past summer.

Absolutely true. Pence's role was purely symbolic and he did not have the power the either void the election or delay the Approval of The Biden Harris Presidency for further investigations. The Supreme Court purely spelled the fact that the Elections were perfectly legitimate in all aspects for all to see. Trump feeding fuel to the fire is treasonous and it should call for an investigation once he is out of office!!

You're fond of repeating the same inaccurate talking points about what legal conclusions can be drawn from the court decisions. I've straightened you out on this before, so I won't repeat myself.

There was nothing wrong with marching up the street. That's par for the course for Washington demonstrations. However, I don't recall him encouraging anyone to breach barriers or occupy congress. But then again, I actually listened to his speech, and I'm sure you didn't.

Frank, on this point, I would take your answer as authoritative. You tell me. I don't have your experience in this area.

We know, despite losing 62 times in a row at every level of court in the country you really, really feel like the election was stolen because the liar you back told you that he won and that the polls were lies too.
And you have a massive folder of affidavits that confirm your feelings so obviously the problem is with the courts, the media and us.

You remind me of the Five on Fox guys, Guttfield and Watters, they get paid lots of money to act like that...
I take that as a compliment.
