Neglected to say that the reason that the House floor wasn't breached was because that gal was shot as she tried to climb through the window. Had she not been shot, does anyone here doubt that they would have overrun it?Republican loyal to Trump claims Capitol riot looked more like 'normal tourist visit'

The Republicans thought it wasn't political from the get-go?

Peaceful tourists. Funny that. I remember the last time where I was visiting a tourist location and my fellow tourists were dragging police out of a little cubby and beating them with signs and crutches. Oh yeah, that's right. That never happened, because *tourists* don't typically do that. Pretty sure I never saw a tourist use bear spray on any of the workers/security/cops either, nor cracked them over the head with a fire extinguisher.
They're writing the Dem election ads for them. Just show video montages like the one I posted upthread. I'm sure the Meidas Touch folks and Really American will have some good ones, too.
Tourists just leave all their garbage behind after getting drunk and losing a fist fight that was more of a wrestling match than a fist fight.

Yeah, spring break is a whole different story, but not really related to the insurrectionists and their enablers trying to pass off their deeds as tourism.Tourists just leave all their garbage behind after getting drunk and losing a fist fight that was more of a wrestling match than a fist fight.
Spring Break tourists flood beach with garbage
Miami Beach was filthy early Saturday morning. There were glass bottles of vodka, wine, whiskey and beer. There were piles of plastic bottles, cups and straws. There were plastic bags and paper cups. There were soda cans and beer cans.
And the Lincoln Project hasn't stopped operating
The point was the garbage not spring break. I've seen worse and it was no where near spring break. Biker events, pow wows, it's the same everywhere. Tourists tend to "trash up a place" whereas insurrectionists attempt to eliminate by destruction.
Members of Congress can lie all they want while doing their job. But people testifying *to* Congress can go to jail for lying. So they tend not to when forced to testify.
Clyde is from the NE corner of Georgia, while Marjorie Taylor Green is from the NW corner. Same type of rural/Appalachian people in their districts. Other than not being a wacko Qanon believer, their politics are not very different.Republican loyal to Trump claims Capitol riot looked more like 'normal tourist visit'

Wouldn't it be nice if no media outlets refused to cover his crazy rantings. They CAN cover it should he fall down a well or whatever, but this? They're still addicted to him.
I’m off two minds about that (the idea of the media refusing to air his grievances). On the one hand, it would be a blessed relief if that were to happen; on the other hand, shouldn't people know that he's doing his best to incite another insurrection? He's dangerous, and people have to know it, so that if something is finally done about him people (except for the cult) will know there's a reason why, and from his own mouth.
