Developing . . .
Sweet ass legacy Trump is leaving behind. Whiny, conspiracy theorist who rallied up a riot. Good job Donnie.
ReplyDeleteTake Pelosi hostage!
ReplyDeleteOh, wait.
No one will pay a ransom for that shitbag of bones.
Donald Trump should be arrested & charged with sedition & inciting a riot.
ReplyDeleteSee below for excuses from MAGA twats who just yesterday were demanding death to protestors for merely blocking one door of a county court house
ReplyDeleteThugs and criminals all, there will be blood tonight.
ReplyDeleteHow exceptionally American.
He lied, you bought it, stand up and pay the price for your blind ingnorance.
Anything less than 500 dead CHUDS tonight will be an extreme disappointment.
ReplyDeleteDJT has effectively turned the US into a Banana Republic over the last four years.
ReplyDeleteConcur. I would like to see a couple of thousand MAGA CHUDS die tonight.
ReplyDeleteGood to see some real patriots going in to kick ass.
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is...some dipshit flying the Punisher logo flag.
ReplyDeleteJesus Fuck the world must be laughing its collective balls off at this Exceptional Nation.
WE'RE SO GREAT AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteChuck will be on here shortly saying that it is all BLM/Antifa dressed up as Trump supporters.
ReplyDeleteSo, we have that to look forward to.
Cleaver should not be ducking at the sound of gunfire.
ReplyDeleteThat's the same as church bells in his district.
Where is Biden?
ReplyDeleteHidin' Biden
It's 25th Amendment time. Throw Trump out. Arrest him and lock him up along with Rudy, Eric and Don Jr. If this is not treason, what is?
ReplyDeleteBiden has spoken dipshit.
ReplyDeleteIt's your God who is off somewhere jacking one off at these events.
Try to keep up, CHUD.
2:57: Biden is not yet president. Where is Trump? Telling the people he incited to riot not to riot--on twitter. He's afraid to show his fat orange face.
ReplyDeleteHawley is another grandstanding idiot politician.
ReplyDeleteNeed a good laugh?
ReplyDeleteListen to those two chickenshit dirtbags Tapper and Blitzer on CNN.
Them girls are pissing their panties.
What did Biden say?
ReplyDelete"I'll take 'em out back of the barn and whup 'em".
"Did you notice the long hair on my legs"?
Pathetic excuse for a leader.
ANTIFA and BLM do not like it when their tactics are thrown back at them.

Only one person shot tells me that you MAGA maggots were cosplaying the whole time.
ReplyDeleteWhat were all those guns for if not today?
Fucking poseurs, just as I suspected.
Put another Punisher decal on the truck and talk tough tomorrow at the office, shitheels.
I thought that the Dems said that this was OK in Portland and L.A.
ReplyDeleteThey took a knee in homage, I believe.
This was spontaneous. Just think about how things will go when they have a plan. (Tee Hee).
ReplyDeleteDo you mean they wasted good armed Officers on protecting Maxine Waters?
ReplyDelete"Peach potie pie"!!!
I love some good anarchy on a cold January day.
ReplyDeleteChuck is a traitor. Lock him up!
ReplyDelete3:17
ReplyDeleteTurn her loose on them. That face would scare away anything.
Trump doesn't just claim he won.
ReplyDeleteHe's claiming he won by a landslide.
He doesn't actually have any proof, because there is none.
Politicians can ALL reap what they sow.
ReplyDeleteIf you support this garbage, you're not an American. It weakens the whole country.
ReplyDeleteJust speaks to the point that some of the progressives have been making all along.
Trump supporters are traitors.
Today they were proven correct.
By your logic we'd still be a British colony.
Delete2021 it the new 1776.
MAGA
The extremist of the left and right have more in common with each other than they think they do. The common enemy is a government that does not have the common citizens interest at heart. Haven't for decades. The slow to anger Americans said so with Obama and got cheated. Madder the second time they went with Trump. The government and the press didn't listen. Time is up. The left and right need to realize they have a common enemy. The people are not the problem, its the government.
DeleteCan't wait until Jan. 20.
ReplyDeleteThat should be fun.
Shaniqua will be sworn in on that day.
All of today's shit will really unhinge Sleepy Joe. He has already been sent off to the rest home.
3:35
ReplyDeleteThink BLM, Portland and L.A, shit for brains.
Hope law enforcement goes AWOL
ReplyDeleteHere is what I just emailed my representative and senators:
ReplyDeleteSadly it's time to exercise the 25th Amendment. Trump, his family, and his enablers are a danger to the country. He can do too much damage in the next two weeks. Pence has proven he will abide by the Constitution. Get Trump out of there.
Suggest you do the same.
Sure pelosi gives a shit what you think.
DeleteJesus the Republicans are feral rioters.
ReplyDeleteThose were great peaceful protests. MAGA.
ReplyDeleteTrump should be tried for treason. IF found guilty, he should be executed. No presidential library, no burial at arlington - lifetime ban on any Trump running for office. People have been executed in the USA for treason for much less than what Trump did!
ReplyDelete3:46 the same can be said of democrats.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud. Property damaged, police injured. America is great again.
ReplyDelete3:46
ReplyDeleteThey won't see your e-mail.
They are all hiding under their chairs.
This was spontaneous. Just think about how things will go when a few veterans come up with a plan, (snicker, tee-hee). I can't wait until the next BLM protest, (giggle).
ReplyDeleteWho knew violent MAGATS would attack police officers, cause mass destruction, and break numerous laws? Not me.
ReplyDeleteCleaver hides in his bunker singing his Hyms and Hurs.
ReplyDeleteLol

Only truly bad thing about today is that f'ing building and the scum who "work" in it are still standing.
ReplyDeleteWhen will all of the idiot sheep realize that it's not Republican vs Democrat, Trump vs Biden, Right vs Left, Black vs. White? It's ELITIST RULING CLASS BUREAUCRATS against all of us poor peasants.
The only way we ever win is to get rid of every single last one of our so called leaders and start over.
How long has rioting has gone on in Portland? When BLM and Antifa riot it is peaceful protest, now that it is not democrats we need to call out the national guard and have curfews.
ReplyDelete^^We decided to have an election, instead.
ReplyDeleteThey should have brought suitcases of ballots to be counted.
ReplyDelete4:04 some veterans are not white.
ReplyDeleteSTOP THE STEAL.
ReplyDelete^stop the SQUEAL.
ReplyDelete4:09 fck your election season philosophical purity
ReplyDeleteA city could be on fire and 4;09 would be crumpled up crying beneath a ballot box mumbling "but we had an election"
ReplyDeleteJust another peaceful protest right! I freakin love it! We need more of these!
ReplyDeleteIf the dispacable dimwits did this it would be completely ok and rewarded by the lame stream media and the dimwit party. These shitheads better get the message that we can do the same as what they’ve been doing for four years and we’re just getting started!
Congress didn't give a shit until it came to their house. Instead of weeks of patience in other cities for protesters of their agendas now they want these protesters gone immediately.
ReplyDelete@4:04 Veterans have absolutely no use for Trump after his disparagement of the and of active duty Servicepeople, not to mention the cuts to Veterans Health Care he forced through in order to spend money on his "wall"!
ReplyDeleteFucking Draft Dodger - Ass-spurs maybe!
4:07 to your point https://www.salon.com/2019/06/19/joe-biden-to-rich-donors-nothing-would-fundamentally-change-if-hes-elected/
ReplyDeleteLooks like the CHUDS are peacefully leaving and will be headed to various DC Applebee's now to talk about what badasses they are.
ReplyDeleteHopefully a lot of Democrats get killed in the riot.
ReplyDeleteNo Justice = No Peace get use to it.
ReplyDeleteRemember the democrats 4 years ago were threating to blow the White House up.
ReplyDelete435 just a few months ago they were literally trying to burn it down
Delete4:28 AND you will be headed to Quick Trip to use your EBT card and stand around outside panhandling / sucking dick the rest of the evening while at the same time continuing to complain about CHUDS.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing. Prelude. There is a storm coming.......................... !
ReplyDelete^^^Ouch!
ReplyDeleteHopefully a lot of media members get killed too
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete"Ouch"..meant for 4:37..or..as Weird Guy always comments about his own posts "OH! 4:28 got knocked the fuck out!"
Hilarious that Trump told the "peaceful protestors" that he would walk with them to the Capitol Building, the went back to the White House to hide in the Basement!
ReplyDeleteThat's the "Let's go Guys! YOU FIRST!" school of Leadership in action - SUCKERS!
One MAGAT dead!!!!! Yay! The woman traitor shot in the capital has died! Thank you police. More please!
ReplyDeletefuck you, 4:26 --as a veteran, I can say first-hand the VA improved 100% after 8 years of Obammy/Bidet neglect.
ReplyDeleteHey, this could work at our City Hall.
ReplyDeleteThis could be the warm up to a hot civil war. The next few weeks will be critical as we will see Democrats don't really mean their words about unity and cooperation. As right wingers feel even more disenfranchised, this could get very ugly. They left their firearms at home today, but may not next time.
ReplyDeleteOne dead MAGAT! Lad shot in the chest is dead! Yay! More please!
ReplyDeleteCharlie horse, maybe we should?
ReplyDeleteIt works for the murderous, violent and destructive left and it’s all okey dokey so it’s definitely ok for the other half of the country amirite!
And every single one of these American patriots that gets arrested will have China joe and both his hoes and Hollywood movie stars paying for their bail right! And then they should drop all charges just like they did in kc, Minnesota, Portland, Seattle and LA with those violent, murderous and destructive antifa and blm!
ReplyDeleteTaxpayers will probably be on the hook for a $10 million renovation of Pelosi's office since a peasant sat in her office chair.
ReplyDeleteThe Marxist Media and Congress are so out of touch with reality on what the everyday American is going through with the Covid-19 shutdowns, loss of jobs, election fraud etc.
I liken our political upheaval at about the same level of the making of cheap sausage and hotdogs. If you really knew what went in to the making of them it would make you sick to your stomach. Our country is out of control and it started long before Trump came along. Life as we once knew it is gone and will not return. If you think the last 4 years were bad just you wait, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
ReplyDeleteI liken your comments to dog shit, Stupor Dave.
DeleteTrump should be removed from office to preserve democracy, business leaders say
ReplyDeleteHe can still do a lot of damage in two weeks. Get him out. Lock him up.
I heard Nancy pissypants, chuckles shitmypants and jerry the penguin nadler had to change their shitty diapers during this “candle light vigil”! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteLOL in 1 year and only after dark BLM AND antifa stormed target, foot lockers and walmart and attacked defenseless states.
ReplyDeleteIn 1 day and in broad daylight the Magachuds stormed the central power of the usa, the congress, and shut it down.
Alright CHUDS break it up.
ReplyDeletePlease file out in a single file line and get back home to your fat slob CHUD wives.
Remember to get back to the range tomorrow to jerk off your boys and talk about the neato guns you're gonna get with your next stimulus check.
5:03 don’t forget they destroyed half of Washington protesting there for weeks on end, they also broke into federal buildings, destroyed fences, cars and buildings while the dimwit party stood by and said nothing.
ReplyDeleteThis is one day of what I say is a fair protest and these un-American dimwits are crying and shitting in their pants like little babies, it’s quit funny really!
STFU 5:05 plenty of people on both sides called for order and peace. Go fuck yourself. Your guy fucking lost and the whole world knows it. He will never accept the fact that he's a loser. His supporters are fucking losers. Stolen my ass. Might as well say the sky is green. Trump is shit stain on US history.
ReplyDelete^^^ over the target!
ReplyDelete508 you can keep dilating, but you will never pass or be a real woman.
ReplyDeleteSo far one dead MAGAT, hopefully we’ll get a lot more tonight!
ReplyDeleteThe guy who put his feet on Pelosi's desk will go to jail for far longer than anyone who burned down buildings in major American cities last summer. It's a double-standard that is a national embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteBaggy walmart blue jean wearing booger-eaters are making history today!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with the flag waving!
It looked real neat.
Chaos is the last year. With all riots led by Antifa and BLM in many major cities. They only showed everyone that the bad child routine gets the most rewards. Or would chaos be the overwhelming murder rate of the KC metro by Blacks on blacks, while BLM paraded around pretending to care for them. I would venture to say that more "whiteys" care for black lives than BLM protesting thugs. Chaos would also be the recent actions at the Independence mall. Anyone with a tv or internet connection sees that we give the key to the city to those that do the most harm to it. Why would today differ from any other day ? All of the above are completely in the wrong, none being peaceful or a correct way to obtaining change or positive for all of us. Maybe we should stop the awoman type of political objectives and work towards common sense goals.
ReplyDeletePresident George W. Bush condemns riots: "This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic"
ReplyDeleteI find anything that Cleaver says as unimportant. He refused to say during all the BLM riots that this country was unrecognizable and why....b/c it's ok for blacks to riot but not whites.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I write this I must say what I saw today at the capitol was unacceptable and could have been prevented by many things
a. fair elections
b. politicians who have integrity
c. politicians who allow and promote rioting by blacks, liberals and leftists
Then we have elected officials such as the idiot from Ferguson a blm activist or a maxine waters or the portland mayor
Until we get back to a more centered country this will continue to deteriorate.....shameful and sad
POLITICAL THEATER EXTRAORDINAIRE
ReplyDeleteAll liberal corporate media continue to wax apoplectic over the demonstrators in D.C. this afternoon.
Propaganda talking heads like PBS's Judy Woodsnuff, Yamiche Ugly, NBC's Chuck "Big Head" Todd, Savannah "Dumb as shit" Guthrie, ABC's George "Team Clinton" Snuffalupagus....and all the other liberal scum media are talking about "violence", "mobs", "White supremacists", "terrorists", etc., but IT'S ALL TALK. Where's the video or photos?
I didn't see any violence, and if they had it, you know they'd be playing it on a continuous loop. It's all media talking heads just telling stories.
No violent protests, but more like a sit-in protest.
Remember, the violent BLM/Antifa rioting in 2020 was not a problem according to the media. But, a mostly white crowd of peaceful sit-in protesters are a threat to our very democracy and way of life.
Liberals want to shut down the House/Senate objections to the Electoral College certification, embarrass Trump, force through the GA double-steal and hijack the country.
Hope you MAGATS have received tonight's fundraiser email from Don and Josh. Please open your checkbook up cause we love what this is doing to the GOP.
ReplyDeleteA filthy MAGAT whore thought she could just storm the Capital today. She was disabused of that notion quickly. Think she regrets that decision now? Ha!
ReplyDeleteHa! Twitter just locked Trump’s account! He’s going to go ballistic! Well done, well done!
ReplyDeleteahwoman!
ReplyDeletePlenty of non maga folks are pleased pelosi's suite of offices trashed.
ReplyDeleteIf the protestors in the pics lounging in various offices (lol) are prosecuted, another protest will be ignited. Particularly after all the BLMers were let off hook.
ReplyDelete^^Well the BLM’ers weren’t terrorist or traitors to their country like MAGATS are so....
ReplyDeleteThe extremist of the left and right have more in common with each other than they think they do. The common enemy is a government that does not have the common citizens interest at heart. Haven't for decades. The slow to anger Americans said so with Obama and got cheated. Madder the second time they went with Trump. The government and the press didn't listen. Time is up. The left and right need to realize they have a common enemy. The people are not the problem, its the government.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThose were not all Trump supporters ANTIFA was in there too. ANTIFA put out a tweet saying they were suppose to dress up like Trump supporters and storm the building.
NEWS Barack Obama and the Italian defense contractor, MI6 CIA and Germany were involved in the steal. they transferred the voting data to Frankfurt to Rome and then back again to change the data and manipulate the election. Obama was head honcho in this.
6:52 you are a dedluded, mental little fucker.
ReplyDelete"So...." STFU
^^Blow me while I shit CHUD.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks degenerate mental cock sucker.
ReplyDelete7:30 (#1) What channel is your tin foil hat tuned to?
ReplyDelete@7:30-Produce the tweet from Antifa CHUD. Was it from their “official” Antifa Twitter account fucktard?? You’re lying again. Typical geriatric MAGA CHUD response.
ReplyDeleteObama and the Italians! So that's the new working theory?
ReplyDeletedid the cops really just let them in the building? big mistake! if kept outside, on a cold windy day, that crowd would have dispersed pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteonce inside, in the warm, out of the wind, seems like a little gumption up front to keep them out would have gone a long way.
this is a more entertaining scene than seeing korean parliaments break out in mass kung fu brawls
