To the Editor,
MAGA malevolency, and mayhem was on full display for the nation, and the world to witness on January 6th. Republican terrorists with the approval, and blessing of Trump stormed the Capitol with complete disregard for life, or property. If law enforcement became an obstacle they were dealt with severely, after all, law and order was only meant for Black protestors. One officer died after being hit with a fire extinguisher from an angry insurrectionist. Another was pinned, and crushed in a doorway by rioters. As the officer screamed in agony, the Republican terrorists were apathetic, and unforgiving. They continued the pressure on the door until they were exhausted. Eventually asking for “fresh patriots” to help continue the torture on the officer. The domestic terrorists were so rabid, and blinded by rage that they even trampled to death one of their own. One Republican insurrectionist tragically died after being shot by an officer who carried out his oath to protect the hallowed Capitol, and any member of Congress from harm. Another officer who became separated from his comrades, found himself isolated among the rioters. The mob descended on him with a vengeance beating him, grabbing his badge, and ammunition clips. As he struggled to protect his weapon, he pleaded for his life screaming, “I have children at home” Eventually other officers were finally able to rescue him. There is certainly plenty of blame to go around for this disgraceful, and deadly assault. The president’s rhetoric was deranged, encouraging the terrorists to march on the Capitol, and “fight like hell” Some took flight even before he was done ranting, anxious to invade Congress. Senators Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley who continued the spurious narrative on the Senate floor that the election was stolen are an egregious, and culpable pair. More than 60 election lawsuits brought have been rightfully dismissed, the Supreme Court has twice rebuffed the false accusations, and Attorney General William Barr has also stated that no massive fraud occurred. Yet, Republicans still embraced the dystopian myth that massive voter fraud existed. The stolen election conspiracy was even supported by local party Republicans. An Iowa Republican county chair has fatuously, and preposterously stated that because Trump’s campaign rallies were attended by thousands, and that Biden’s were much smaller, this equated to evidence of a stolen election. Any Republican who has perpetuated, and disseminated, the mendacious claim that the “election was stolen” is partly culpable for the violence, and brutality that took place at the Capitol. An unhinged Trump has espoused election prevarication, and duplicity that has continued for months. The Republican lie has enraged the radicalized racists, Trump sycophants, and conspiracy ideologues who embraced it without question. This was profoundly evident by the ferocity, and the viciousness of the Republican thugs that ruthlessly attacked law enforcement, and Congress.
“Death is the only remedy” that’s what one of Trump’s lawless insurrectionists vociferously proclaimed to the news cameras, the nation, and the world.

I hope Trump has a bright future in federal prison. And, let’s hope Vladimir Putin gets over the ugly truth that his bitch got voted out in a legal, fair and transparent election.
Wonder why the dems didn’t ask to have the military deployed when BLM and antifa tried to burn down the federal building in Portland (while federal employees were inside), Took over 8 city blocks in an attempt to create an autonomous zone, or when BLM and antifa rioters burned down the church across from the white house?
I will support President Trump & a new party.
Because they underestimated the hatred 74 million Trump voters have toward D.C. politicians — even Republican ones. We don’t trust them. We don’t like them. We don’t care what they say. The more they hate Trump, the more we like him..
GOP leaders only represent the D.C. swamp. They don’t represent 74 million Trump voters.
Imagine the largest force of combat veterans in modern history, a highly militarized and irritated police force, most of the military, a dozen or so million rednecks in ford f150 technicals, maybe half of which have some training and the other half have over 300 confirmed beer can kills apiece.
Then imagine no more than 1 million 120lb anarchist communists who are afraid of words, guns, biological sex, their own skin color, full cream milk and Nazis that died 80 years ago. Add in maybe 10 million rioting nogs, 10 million bluepilled normies, the freemasons, a certain long nosed tribe, some corrupt politicians and the odd glowie.
Those are the teams.
Trump’s January 6 2021 speech In Washinton D.C. at the 18:16 mark:
Donald Trump: (18:16)
We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
For those that aren’t brain dead Communist/Democrats, they will have already have read and understood the words,” to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” as in no violence.
Conservatives are not domestic terrorists, like the tools of the left (BLM/ANTIFA). There is no help, no way to get the FACT that the only call for violence was the narrative out of Nasty Nancy’s mouth, like many other times in the last 4 years.
Violence cannot be tolerated – Newflash! 30 blm protesters arrested in Manhatten and 20 cops injured – what a bunch of liars these socilist liberals are. PS Don’t trust any of these LIARS/CROOKS !
Slow down on the Kool Aid before you hurt yourself.
Alex Jones says Trump is NOT leaving – Troops there to Protect Trump administration not China Joe ! What do you make of that article ?
The left has no original thought. talk to one you’ve talked to them all. I like individual thinking.
LIBERALS- “When I know I’m wrong keep talking and maybe the truth will go away”
Democrat politicians are extremely corrupt.
The left is so goddamn scared that they’re showing their true colors the more this goes on.
cant believe it, after all the news videos, tRumpsters still saying nothing happened. All these stupid people need to have their voting rights denied. Whole bunch of idiots
Look up sarcasm. Or dupe. Your picture will be under ‘dupe’. Sarcasm is when you say things like “I’m sure the election was fair.” when we know your a cult member without shame who doesn’t know for sure if the election was fair or not, but the exalted one says it wasn’t fair (because he didn’t win), and you believe him because he has never lied before (more sarcasm).
Amen
Phil, were you actually there and personally witnessed all this, or are you just repeating things that you have heard?
Yet, the far right continues to ignore it and condone it. Hopefully, those people who have empathy, conscience and kindness will continue to disavow the evil that was trump and his ardent followers.
Do you just like to stir the pot or are you truly that stupid?
We the Christian people have consulted with GOD to have a curse put on these false prophets of judas. May they rot in HELL with their SATAN. PS – not far from their fake ceremony is Arlington Cemetery were a lot of our great former presidents and American patriots lie – The spirits of these people will rise up and be attending this unholy ritual – can you imagine George Washington and Abe Lincoln sitting next to Biden and Harris – We hope the curse is heard.
