What if... this incident actually brought us closer together when we realize all the principles that we share?

 

What happened today is greater than "this location was stormed in DC" and "that location was stormed in Portland." It's symbolic. We're hard-wired as humans to respond to symbolism. The 9/11 attackers chose their targets carefully. McVeigh chose his target carefully. The Capitol is a symbol that is greater than the materials of which it is composed, greater than the people inside it.  

Sorry...I am not at the "can't we all just get along" phase tonight

The Trump presidency ends with destruction, riots, a plague and the economy in chaos. Would that have been too easy of a prediction to make in 2016?

The fact that you and others feel the need to talk about everything but the actual terrorist attack actually shows that it is in fact not uncalled for.     The government of the United State

To me, this is more of an indictment of our current political and social situation. We are at the point where people with a different opinion aren't just wrong,  they are evil and the enemy.  Today is

Would be nice, but I can see that the last 4 years of non acceptance will make it very hard, how do you tell people do not do as we did but as we should have done? Simplistically Not my President works both ways, what happens when there is a new vacancy on the Supreme Court? 

 

Going to be an interesting 2 years.

Okay.  B'$.

No one cares that the Portland pioneer square Starbucks and headbanger wall was shutdown for a few days. Everyone needs to be concerned that the seated president and seated senators encouraged a mob to storm the Capitol building.

Why was there not adequate precautions, you must be blind not to have seen something happening today.

 

Admittedly I was on the road most of the day but not aware of a seated president or senators leading the mob. I did hear that Trump who seems to have gone mostly AWOL told them to go home, not sure if that is true.

Trump got his Twitter and FB accounts suspended.

I must be blind?    I saw the actions of Cruz and Hawley today. They should not even be allowed to speak or vote imo.

Basically a free pass to make objections, say to the base that you did what you could knowing it will make not a bit of difference, politicians grandstanding, nothing new.

Please remember that some of us have not studied Latin since they were 11.
