    Default Capitol riot follies

    This all started with Ronald Reagan, when he lifted the tent flap and let the Right Wing Evangelicals have a seat at the GOP table. They morphed into Neocons, who morphed into teabaggers, who morphed into the AltRight. This culminated in last Wednesday's Capitol Riots.

    What I find annoying is that the Democratic Party refuses to call the GOP out on it's sheer hypocrisy: They spent 8 years of unprecedented obstruction to the Obama Presidency, barely admitted that the whole birther BS was a lie, and screamed bloody murder when Obama commented that the "police acted stupidly" when they rousted Professor Gates in his own home. And lets not forget putting in the fix for the Senate judiciary regarding Dump & Ukraine, or how rat faced Roger Stone didn't spend a day in jail for his "Brooks Brothers Riot".

    But now they want the country to "heal" and "come together" with nothing more than a mere chastising of Trump's rabble rally that lead up to the Capital insurrection by his followers.

    GMAFB! These mealy mouthed SOB's enabled the Orange Oaf for 4 years....excusing his lies, incendiary tweets and speeches, his disdain for the rule of law and the Constitution, and his vindictiveness towards any and everyone who disagreed in the slightest with him. If they think they weren't aiding and abetting, just wait until the elections a year from now.

    While I agree w/ most of your points, I have to think that them not going for pay back is what is better for the country-put the country before party..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Agree. Democrats kept pretending the GOP was just pretending to be right wing extremists.

    But catch what I'm saying.....I'm just asking for them to have the spine to call a spade a spade.....TELL THE FUCKING TRUTH! That isn't payback, that's just the TRUTH!. The Dems keep playing this "country before party" crap while the GOP is playing "by hook or by crook". That got the GOP Reagan, the Bush Crime family and the Orange Oaf...with a majority in Congress & Senate.

    Speaking truth to power isn't payback, it's justice.

    I understand that... I am not in your party...

    Personally I want what will be best for the country, that is all I am saying...

    Both parties seek their own interests, often putting their party before the country........

    IMHO they need to give it a break for a while..

    We have China breathing down our necks, a pandemic & spending money we don't have & won't perhaps have for generations......

    Fix the roads, fix education, knock a few of those off the list first.....

    First stop the President from becoming a dictator. Nothing will happen if Trump destroys the government.

    While the Democrats themselves continue to pretend they really aren't increasingly radical Leftists...

    What's your point?

    I get it, but:

    Unfortunately, you can't do that if it's the SOS, just a different party. The country can't "heal and move on" if you let criminal conduct and actions go without being called out. Otherwise, it's the SOS....only this time, one side seems to have lost control of it's cattle....and they're playing for keeps.
