Washington Post is just out with "How the rioters who stormed the Capitol came dangerously close to Pence”

Could this be one reason Pence mightn’t be too jazzed about a deal with Trump making Pence president for a day so he can pardon ex-president Trump early on January 20? Just asking . . .

is pence ok?

funny how some are concerned about how "dangerously close" these rioters came to politicians but over the last year ignored rioters beating innocent citizens and burning down private property and attacking police and other law enforcement members...

It’s worth reading. The WaPo has several new reports that highlight just how dangerous and unprecedented this event really was.

The Washington Post has several new articles. Incredible. No doubt they will tell us about all the great things Trump has done. And how Biden and Harris and co. will do great things for us with China.

Just remember when you are listening to the talking heads that a lot of this impeachment focus is on Tweetless' actions leading to the attack.

But his indifference and refusal to do anything to protect legislators, his VP and the Capitol for hours DURING the attack is impeachable in itself.

He undeniably wanted it to escalate.

by calling for peace? that’s what he’s doing

on the day that 5 Dallas police officers were assassinated, Obama
made a statement that two recent situations of white cops killing black
men, “are not isolated incidents.”

the only way to interpret that remark, is that there’s a systemic plot among american police departments where cops are targeting blacks for murder.

On that same day, a few hours later, 5 police officers were assassinated in dallas. no one suggested obama be impeached.

every single time democrats and the media vilify cops ( with lies told
for political gain), cops get
murdered. it doesnt stop democrats and the media from doing it. but they get a pass.

Maxine Waters goes on tv and tells
americans to harass elected republicans, “let them know they aren’t welcome anywhere, anytime.”. She gets a pass.

A rabid Bernie supporter shoots. Steve Scalise in the head , NO ONE hints that Bernie is responsible ( because he wasn’t).

Most indefensible, Al Sharpton is still embraced within the democrat party, still extremely powerful, despite a long record of
making inflammatory statements that lead to violence. But democrats say it’s OK when he does it.

At the impeachment vote, there was no testimony, no interviews, no hearings, no bringing in the people
who were arrested at the capital to ask them what role Trumps words played ( isn’t that sort of relevant?).

The only thing that would perhaps have a significant impact on potential inauguration violence would be to state the election wasn't stolen, yet he refuses to. This weekend could get very ugly.
