Fair chance.

Only way to prevent that would be to successfully Impeach/Remove before he gets the chance, or to successfully invoke the 25th.

I’d be curious what the protocols are for the Capitol police. Tango seems to think it has the same priority as a Federal court house in any random city. I don’t.

I think it’s lucky more people didn’t get shot, even accidentally.

This such BS
White privilege
If this was BLM , there would be blood on the streets
Hundreds would have been killed
Because it was whites, only one died

I have always spoken out against violence
I doint even have to know the politics of a violent offender to be against that person
Many on the right here will defend violence once they learn the violent person is on the right and not the left


Wins most delusional post of the year! BLM literally stormed THOUSANDS of buildings during their ‘peaceful protests’. How many of the black rioters were killed by law enforcement? I think it is zero!? ONE group of (mostly) white thugs storm a Federal building and one of them is shot dead.

Who here is defending the criminals who stormed the Capitol? Not me! Frankly, the more of them that would have been shot dead, the better Just somehow trying to imply that police would shoot more at a predominantly Black mob is just so laughable. It is why police are avoiding policing predominantly African American areas, and why Black on Black murder rates are soaring unchecked. If a cop kills a white criminal under the EXACT SAME circumstances as a colleague kills a Black criminal, which one is likely to e fired, prosecuted, vilified, and convicted, at least in the court if public opinion?

I texted my son the exact comment last night. I would NOT charge any of them until Jan 21. And would try my hardest NOT to even mention a single name of the perpetrators. I would NOT be surprised if the left leaning media (good, for once!) would hold back for this reason. I would be stunned if Law Enforcement does not already know the identities of many who will be arrested and charged on January 21.

I read his comments as not condoning the criminal activity, but making a comparison to other illegal actions, by other groups, who were not condemned by all. ‘Block party.’ ‘The real looters are the banks’. Those were comments by elected Democrat officials. Please show me ONE Republican that condoned the violent assault on the Capitol? Even the doofus in chief stopped short of that.

I’m watching Biden on TV now. He looks and sounds great. You wouldn’t want to be the President after Lincoln or Washington or Jefferson. Tough acts to follow. Think how easy Biden has it!

No guns were seen, and there were no less than four armed police officers and one official who appeared to be ordering them away from the scene, mixed in with the protesters. None of them was being threatened. That coward who fired the shot, endangered their lives as well.

Had this been Antifa, the winged monkeys of the democrat party, those paintings on the walls would have been shredded, and every statue in the building would have been destroyed. Then, they would have torched the place.

GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: Police fatally shoot a Trump supporter inside the Capitol building. This is a sickening crime that should be prosecuted as such.

I do not see a reason to have pulled the trigger. I prefer our government not shoot those of us it doesn't absolutely have to. petro There were multiple armed police standing right behind her who could have caught an errant bullet.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

Pardon? Has he got time to invite them to the Whitehouse for some sort of Medal? Maybe the Freedom of the City?

I can't see from that video whether she had anything that could mistakenly look like a gun or possibly some other weapon.

Why would that worry you? I could see it upsetting you but doesn't seem like something to worry about.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.
