    This article and time line seems to correspond pretty well with what @axetell454 posted. No doubt he laid it out as he seen it.

    Sobering to say the least. This goes beyond political discourse, procedures and or any selblance of day to day poltics. There is culpability for the President and those that aided and abetted him in inciting these people to be trialed for sedition against the United States of America. No doubt in my mind we witness treason.

    Absolutely
    I will not deny many hundreds of people from the rally went in.

    Most of them looked like average Trump supporters. A few were the ones you could tell were ready and eager for violence (gas masks, body armor, bats etc).

    There was not any order being upheld by anybody. I am honestly surprised at how well the crowd behaved given the circumstances. Imagine allowing hundreds of thousands onto the grounds and letting them do whatever they wished.

    To have 300,000+ people there, and to only have +/-1,500 enter the building shows incredible restraint in my opinion.

    People tend to act as a herd in groups. You EASILY could have seen 20,000-30,000 people go in and level the place. Had the intent been to occupy the Capitol building and install our new "king," the place might have been occupied for days. And there would have been some serious bloodshed.

    But the media dictates the narrative, and the standard by which people are judged.

    Malcontents under the guise of BLM & Antifa burn, kill and destroy. But they are excused.

    Malcontents under the guise of Trump supporters do the same, and everyone who even dares disagree is vilified and made to be complicit with the worst of the worst.

    In 11 days, Biden will be the President of the United States. I pray he does right by the country. In the meantime, some serious reconciliation needs to happen between l̶e̶f̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ Americans. If we cannot figure out how to love each other and stand together again on anything quickly, then we are doomed.

    Americans no longer think with logic. The media, Fox and CNN brainwash the sheep. If we all turned off the tv and social media, we would all be better off for it and I bet you would see a lot more compassion and less hate..

That is what is happening ..

    No, what's actually happening is people like yourself are filling the heads of many with nonsensical conspiracy BS. That's EXACTLY why Trump lost his right arm, I mean his twitter account.

    This will break the hearts of a few on here ..

    Two US Justice Department officials have gone on record saying President Trump will not be charged with any crimes related to the chaos that descended on the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.

    Frustrated and angry Trump supporters, by some accounts incited by anarchist and Leftist agitators, descended on the US after being betrayed by Vice President Mike Pence who refused to exercise his constitutional right to move a contested election in the Electoral College to the US House for a vote of delegations..... more at the link ...

    and this is likely going to have some running to the medicine cabinet for TUMS ...

    Rasmussen: Trump's Approval Rating Rises After DC Protests

    The Rasmussen poll, one of the most accurate polls of the 2020 election, finds President Trump’s approval is actually rising after Wednesday‘s protests.... up to 51% ....

    “Americans are disgusted that cities burned for months and Democrat Politicians and the media did nothing,” our source says, “But they still like Trump.”

    You're as gullible as the day is long. What Pence did was fulfill his DUTY to the Constitution, nothing more, nothing less. He's actually more Country than he is Trump, believe it or not. He showed that, however a bit late.

    They have zero,zero intent of reconciliation. They have a scorched earth plan ahead. " vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord" Have no doubts that they all have God complexes

    Hey, did ya hear about the rioting and the attempted breakin to a Police Station near Portland by ANTIFA/Pro Biden THUGS... going on for 3 nights now ... what Ya didnt hear about it ... nah, didnt think so ...

    https://davidharrisjr.com/steven/ri...andals-attack-police-precinct-and-businesses/

    On Thursday night in Portland, violence broke out once again, just days after ANTIFA attacked Mayor Ted Wheeler at a restaurant. The riot was sparked by the shooting death of Jacob Ryan McDuff on Wednesday. Police claim he was min his car armed with a knife as police tried to arrest him for a domestic violence charge. In the struggle, he was shot and killed.


    Police immediately opened an investigation into the shooting but the domestic terrorists are really not interested. They just wanted an excuse to riot. The rioters, about 100 of them invaded the, Portland suburb of Tigard with a population of about 55,000. ... more with pics at link ..
