With about half of republicans so far casting ballots in Congress, 4 so far have voted to Impeach the giant Peach.

With McConnel and Cheney now in favor of the big I, could get ugly with major parts of GOP leadership turning their backs of their chief shit.

It's no mystery what drives them, bigotry, plus paranoia fueled by Trump's lies.

You've solved the mystery! All it took was a little projection. Well done.

I'm not sure Mike's wife is really OK with the trips to Brazil and Germany. Talk about contradiction.

Mike calls his wife, 'Mother'. That's right, for real, she's Mother Pence. Now, do you still suppose he's going to do anything without her approval?

Legitimate Black Lives Matter people are heroes. Truly Heroes! Really and truly heroes that transcend any so called zealot "patriots".

As for Antifa, it is not even a real organization. Antifa lies in the imagination of "Agent Orange" and the extreme right-wing news media and Proud Boy terrorists minds. Anti-Fascism is something most Americans are against. We live in a democracy not fascist dictatorship.

The "trump-humper" terrorist mob, apparently included large number of off-duty police members from Seattle to New York. So called, "law-abiding" citizens.

The Washington Post reports the FBI explicitly warned of violence and war from an internal report issued one day before the Jan 6th deadly mob attack/coup on the Capital, that online right-wing zealots, were stating acts of violence including one that said:

"Be ready to fight. Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...6d6_story.html

Wow!! So called "Patriots" Hmmm...sounds like terrorists.

The Capitol building riot is being spun to distract from the failure of the neoliberal state to meet the needs of its citizens.

No. The Capital Building riot was a temper tantrum generated by the most privileged in the United States afraid their raping of the country might possibly get constrained.

The system has not been meeting the needs of the American people, its naked dysfunctionality is bare for all to see, and the ruling circles are experiencing a crisis of legitimacy. The response of the rulers to mass discontent is not to address the root causes but to step up suppression as the trajectory of neoliberalism lurches toward fascism. The aftermath of the events of January 6 has precipitated blowbacks by the ruling elites, such as proposed anti-domestic terrorism measures, in anticipation of popular resistance to the intensifying contradictions of the US imperial project.

The drama played out on January 6 reflected the distress generated by historical developments in late-stage capitalism: globalization and automation-induced job losses, accelerating wealth and income inequality, reduced access to educational opportunities and health care, food insecurity and hunger, and the threat of becoming homeless.

The system's unresolved contradictions are increasingly visible to its victims in both progressive (e. G. , Black Lives Matter movement) and reactionary forms (E. G, the Trump phenomenon). Neither of these tendencies are likely to fade away because the conditions that precipitated them will only be exacerbated. Nativist and white-supremist elements long an undercurrent in the American polity have been given oxygen by Trump. The Democrats dismiss the right-wing insurgency as a "basket of deplorables. " The left needs to both resist the growing right-wing presence and neutralize them, if not win them over to understand the true source of their discontent.

The Capitol building riot is being spun to distract from the failure of the neoliberal state to meet the needs of its citizens. Suddenly forgotten are urgently needed reforms like Medicare for All and a stimulus that benefits working people. Instead, the incoming administration of Joe Biden is pushing extensions of the authoritarian state under the guise of combatting domestic terrorism. But thanks to the Patriot Act, for which Biden takes credit as its prime writer, and other such repressive legislation already on the books, the state has already too much power over its citizens.

These extensions of the coercive power of the state have been and will be used to suppress popular movements and need to be resisted. Beware, the mania for censoring so-called hate speech is a tool for silencing any dissent to the ruling powers. The price of cutting off Trump's rants on Twitter and Facebook is the ascendance of monopoly corporations that are so powerful that they can even muzzle an elected president. Commonplace is the new normal of unchecked private corporations collecting data 24/7 on our most intimate activities.

Because the ruling class cannot solve the maturing contradictions of global capitalism, their response to their crisis of legitimacy is to increasingly rely on repression. We cannot rely on the Democrats, who are now backed by the so-called moderate Republicans and underwritten by finance capital, because they are the ones cheerleading the descent into accelerating authoritarianism, as they champion censorship and the oppressive security state measures.

Whataboutism, whatever. You lost. Be unlike the traitors at the Capital last week and lose with dignity. Trump went down to look at his fence today. He leaves DC in a week.

That's not how it works, your party embraced those rioters & looters. If they were Republicans Biden would call them terrorists, so so I guess that's what we should call them.

Your party embraced terrorists, emboldened them, repeated their narrative and confirmed their perception of reality.

It's not about "whataboutism", which to be honest is just a childish way for you to say that you don't want nor dare to talk about that. You should grow up and stop talking as a childish teenager.

Once he's run out of office and business finances in shambles, he'll at least still be able to find work hosting beauty pageants, where he can always go back to groping, fingering and sexually abusing beauty pageants.

Oh wait! Maybe for the sake of the beauty pageants, perhaps he should be impeached and locked up...LOL!

These Republicans warned Americans about Trump (and to some degree so did the beauty pageants)

BLM was formed to counter racial injustice. They state their goals. The violence and property damage emanates from pure rage for the most part. Surely, there are some nihilists in the mix. Antifa shows up to counter those they consider fascists. Some of them revel in street fighting. Hitler and his brown shirts were countered at one point (Beer Hall Putch) November 8,1920.2000 Nazis marched on the Feldherrn Hall in the center of Munich. Hitler escaped, but was arrested two days later and charged with treason, found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in jail. There he dictated his book to Rudolf Hess. "Released after 9 months Hitler directed his focus on obtaining power through legal means, further developing nazi propaganda.

"Racial injustice", what a load of bullshit.

Does "affirmative action" ring any bells?

Not to mention how the interracial violent crime statistics looks.

BLM and antifa are against democracy and launched several attacks against the police and innocent business owners. They were rioting and looting. Setting businesses on fire. Occupied cities and murdered police officers. It continued all summer long and the politicians did not only do nothing, they cheered them on. Encouraged them. Confirmed their beliefs. Repeated their narrative.

But I'm glad to see that the Democrats finally condemned a riot. Hypocritical? Yes sir! But it proved that liberals can be against criminal behavior such as rioting.

And BLM and Antifa can loot Portland for another four years.
