Totally understandable concern about radical democrats. Remember when radical Obama supporters stormed the Capitol and threatened to execute senior members of the opposition, when a former Obama national security advisor suggested rerunning the election by military force, when senior democratic senators suggested overturning election results...oh wait....

The Recount @therecount

Former NJ Gov. and Trump ally Chris Christie: “If inciting to insurrection isn’t [an impeachable offense], then I don’t really know what is.”

Lots of excuses for not impeaching Trump are being given by Repubs as well as some Dems & media, the basic premise being that Trump will be out of office on Jan 20th so why rile people up.

Folks, you're missing the whole point of impeaching a President that incites an insurrection.

It doesn't matter when he did it, it's a crime against this country and he must be held accountable. No excuses accepted!

The more time, images, and stories removed from Wednesday the worse it gets. If you’re not in a white hot rage over what happened by now you’re not paying attention.

Trump's voter fraud lies encouraged a riot. GOP allies are still giving them oxygen.
Republicans, including Sen. Josh Hawley, have condemned violence but haven't backed down from baseless claims of fraud and irregularities.

In all of the totality of the Black Lives Matter protests last year were any policemen or policewomen killed?

Send them here:

To look at this:

95% of protests last year were peaceful. And this is a pretty good article on violence that cites the ACLED work above:
