BTW Comey opened his mouth to say that the incoming Administration shouldn't waste time investigating Tiny and his crimes.

I wonder what he's got to say now?

No dude. That crap has never happened here.
(When the FARC took over the Palace of Justice, it was a war. No politician was involved).
Jerk.
Most Americans know woefully little about their own country, let alone what goes on in other countries. I was channel surfing decades ago and saw the first five minutes of Rambo. It starts out with a guy in a jungle, with a title saying "Bogota, Colombia".

And yes, I agree. He needs to educate himself. Jerk.

And now somebody else just said: "These are images that we are used to seeing from the Middle East, or... Venezuela".
No wonder I boycott CNN, just out of principle :evil:

^^^ Maryland called in their National Guard as well.

DC was likely getting statehood following Lafayette Square. I see it getting a fast track after this display of why it needs to be a state of it's own. I'll be shocked if it's not one by 2022, but think much sooner is very possible after today.

Intriguing that it was Pence who ordered the National Guard to be deployed.

Lots of things that were on the regular burner are now going to be fast tracked and probably passed.

That picture of the terrorist sitting at the Speakers desk seems to have upset a lot of folks.

Per CNN, his office just issued a statement that talks about how he's been coordinating with law enforcement and lawmakers and makes no mention of the President.

Melania's Chief of Staff has resigned.
