    Was 1/6 a Serious Threat to the Republic?

    First off a little History Lesson:

    On August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812 between the United States and England, British troops enter Washington, D.C. and burn the White House in retaliation for the American attack on the city of York in Ontario, Canada, in June 1813.

    When the British arrived at the White House, they found that President James Madison and his first lady Dolley had already fled to safety in Maryland. Soldiers reportedly sat down to eat a meal made of leftover food from the White House scullery using White House dishes and silver before ransacking the presidential mansion and setting it ablaze.


    Not unlike AOC crying a river about alleged danger while being escorted from an office building far removed from the Capitol, but I digress.....

    The Republic stood the next day because we are not a Building nor the fools we so often elect to occupy same!




    Was there any serious threat to our form of Government when a band of idiots broke some windows and took selfies?







    Was any act of Congress under threat of being invalidated because they got inconvenienced over Capitol Police incompetency after being warned about a potential protest problem that was ignored?

    A few hours of Stupid compared to a whole summer of unending street violence by self proclaimed anarchist Mobs?





    Make your case:

    There was no insurrection. There was no threat to the Republic.

    The biggest threat to the Republic since its founding is the current administration and those who support it.

    Yes. We intend to overrun the capitol at 6:00 on 6/6.
    Then you are going to be loaded onto trains and shipped off to take a tour of the gas lines that you shut down. But we will reactivate them Ha Ha Ha Ha!

    What was your question again?

    You better believe it. The real problem the insurgents faced was how to get the fire extinguishers past security. Now they know.

    Actually very few Americans would have complained if the National Guard came in to protect the capitol as offered to Pelosi (as responsible for the Capitol Police) by Trump.
    Unfortunately she refused that and left a large crowd looking at a small number of rent-a-cops that rarely ever saw anything more than a homeless person that needed to be moved.
    The conservatives do not support the Eric the Viking and Sullivan the antiFa antagonist.
    We do not support any of the petty theft, or vandalism.

    But the Capitol Police and Pelosi screwed up.

    A Dry Run to accomplish what exactly?

    I have been clear that this was a poorly planned circumstance that never should have been permitted to happen. In the future when we have massive planned Capitol area protests from "anyone" the security should be increased including National Guard.



    Months of National Guard on duty and barricades to defend against "Nothing" was a waste of money and people for political purposes of the paranoid left and the idiot pandering left media BTW!

    yes it was a dry run for when they break into the white house and walk around aimlessly, sit in chairs and take selfies dressed as Nordic warriors.
