    Well, this time, given the chatter of armed insurrection that the FBI is getting, it seems like the National Guard has been authorized to use lethal force.
    It's incredible that right here in the USA, it came to that... That's what Trump's irresponsible lies of a stolen election got us. I hope he gets convicted by the Senate.

    Not defending Trump in the least, but I think a # of these people were just looking for an excuse. This issue will get worse before it gets better with or without Trump

    The Trump followers, in an attempt to prevent the Left from turning our country into a new Venezuela, are turning our country into a new Venezuela. Ironic.

    This would never have happened if Trump hadn't encouraged them every step of the way, and hadn't incensed them with false claims of a stolen election.

    Since 2016 when Trump got elected I thought "right wing extremists, white supremacists, and neo-nazis will get encouraged and will get bolder." But I didn't anticipate that it would be to this degree!

    Oh I agree - but the right wing extremists/white nationalists has been a growing issue for years. Trump obviously encouraged them and stoked the fires.

    These are the same folks Hillary called despicable. I guess if they are going to be called that they might as well act like that. You reap what you sow. I really hope you don't believe Biden is going to unite this country. I predict we will see the US become the most divisive it has been since the civil war in 1861 to 1865.

    The momentum has been building up for sometime........ With Trump being catalyst..........and now it has taken n a life of its own. Trump has fed, nourished and reinforced the rage that he created wit his lies. I fear it will get a lot worse before sanity emerges again.

    As I stated before.......people underestimate the destructive ability of a narcissistic psychopath....... Psychopaths do not have a ''conscience like most normal people do. They don't feel guilt or remorse.....no matter how destructive their behavior is. They have a sadistic streak in them as we have seen for four years. (His vindictive behavior is sadistic) Psychopaths through history ( the notorious ones) have created followings as they are highly manipulative and know how to persuade others of their agenda and and misinformation. They repeat their mantra to an almost hypnotic effect./ level. They don't have the normal internal "regulators" and impulse controls. "right and wrong" are defined only as it suits them. The people that died & suffered due to the virus have been met with callous indifference No effective leader does that.

    The FBI has also found that the Capitol attack was pre-planned weeks in advance of the Trump speech. So, Trump did not incite a insurrection.

    His activities for 2+ months and his calling for the rally by lying to his followers that they could change anything that day was what incited the insurrection

    If the nation is to become more united , a lot will depend on the motivation of the population. If the population does not want unity, no one can unite them. One gets a sense that a lot of the pro trumpers would rather go to war than unite with peace. .....and learn to compromise in order to get along.

    Yes he is. He's been on TV saying that the people should not be violent in their protests. He's stated this several times but the left wing media will not show it or write about it. Trump is correct about the media in the U.S. CNN did just put out that the FBI has found that the Capitol siege was pre-planned weeks in advance. Trump did not then incite any insurrection. And, to condemn Trump for fighting for free and incorrupt elections is not a reason to impeach him. The perpetrators that attacked Congress are guilty of breaking laws and should be punished. But, if you are going to blame Trump, then you have to impeach Kamala Harris for riots over the summer when she said BLM and Antifa should go out and protest and riot. And, Pelosi, Schumer, Watters and other Democrats should be impeached for not stepping up and telling the left to riot too. You leftist are trying to have it both ways. But, the right is just too smart to fall for it.

    Just a bunch of fear mongering. Notice now the police and national guard are suddenly very important and useful to the Democrats. Should probably give them all raises too instead of defunding them. Hypocrite Democrats! They should be banned from running for any office.

    No - he threw a temper tantrum because he lost and lied repeatedly about fraud with to this day - zero real evidence.

    Just like he claimed fraud when he lost primaries in 2016. He has never ever accepted losing and he just conned his followers and now he is completely deluded

    Calling for protests is not the same as calling for an insurrection. That's just stupid. Kamala Harris should be immediately impeached for her calls for violence during the so-called peaceful protests during the summer. Protests are legal in the United States. To extrapolate that into calls for insurrection is just plane stupid.

    Cute, you're using the "But Hillary" defense.
    Newsflash: the 2016 election was 4 years ago. Let go of it. Move on.
    And then there is this: if someone called me despicable, I don't think I'd react by killing people. Would you?

    It's amazing how you guys continue to justify what has no justification whatsoever.

    Invading and vandalizing the Capitol and killing Capitol police officers is NOT the answer to ANY political statement, and it is completely and utterly inacceptable. Drop the lame excuses and see if you understand the gravity of what happened.

    The thing is, from now on, ANYBODY who still thinks that this election was stolen, won't get from me any comment, any reply, and I won't read their posts. Over and out. There is no point in debating anything with those who harbor this misguided belief. None.

    What fraud??? After all the lawsuits, counts and recounts and a lot of transparency............how can anyone still make that claim?? Trump LIED........ the fraud thing is a trump hoax. We have too many problems in the current real world to deal with........and we must realize that we are in a critical moment for this country. Out of control pandemic. Economy in crisis, civil unrest and potential for even more deadly violence. Relationships with allies are strained. There is a high risk of the a nation being even more isolated........... and the country/ USG has lost respect on this planet.

    We need problem solvers immediately......... and from what is emerging in the Biden team.......it looks like that is what they are focusing on. Biden has a humongous task ahead of him.

    Not you. You just made a comment, without naming the people you're ignoring. The former is fine, the latter is not.

    Criminal. Criminal idiot too

    They're not "insurgents" or "revolutionaries""insurrectionists" or "rebels" but simple lawbreakers and thus generally lowlife scum, not at all like the freedom fighters who founded this country.

    The freedom fighters who founded this country are probably turning in their graves, appalled at the scum you're referring to.
    It's incredible how right wingers cheer scum like the guy with the Auschwitz sweater - this is the ideology our grandfathers fought against and died while doing it, in WWII.

    So long as Trump supporters believe the election was stolen from them they will not make Biden's job easy. For 4 years the Democrats and MSM attacked Trump instead of working with him. Expect the same treatment Biden will receive from the 80 million folks who voted for Trump.
