Ooh a congresswoman just said “pissed off” on the BBC 😂

My wife cheered, because she said "pissed off" and not "pissed".

How do they end this without it becoming something absolutely awful?

No one wants this to end in darkness, fire and masses of body bags.

 

Trump does. So does Putin.

Why does it get softened with "domestic". They're just terrorists. Gather them up, and push for life imprisonment for the lot of them, including their ring leader. America is on the brink of a civil war and it needs to be stamped out immediately.

Surely this must be awfully close to an attempted coup d'etat?

He needs to get the Mussolini treatment.

You wouldn't shed a tear.

I'd prefer the ignominity of seeing jailed for a while first.

He's basically been agitating for civil unrest for 2 months which has to be a crime as some point.

All to fettle his own nest and protect his ego.

This is really, really sad. For all its flaws, America is a country I care deeply about. I’m horribly saddened by what I’m seeing.

Predictably the MAGA massive are calling that woman a crisis actor. Why is everything always a ducking conspiracy with these people. 

Because reality is too hard to accept evidently.
