But don't put all the blame for this on Trump. Suddenly the media condemns those who breached the Capitol, as they should have. Biden calls for an end to the violence. Where were his calls to end the violence by Antifa and BLM last summer? The Supreme Court could have resolved this because it was a constitutional issue. They took the coward's way out. They didn't want Antifa coming to their homes and doing what they did to Josh Hawley. The Democrats are also responsible, especially the Squad, Pelosi, and Schumer, for the things they say. The media for the way they report and ignore other news. If they don't, then who? The legislature is responsible for making election law that was usurped by the rogue state judiciary and chief executive of PA in violation of the Constitution. What recourse is there other than the most deliberative body in the world having to pick up the pieces that others have abdicated as their responsibility to ensure honest elections.? Yes, this crap pisses me off also. I hope every idiot involved in breaching the Capitol building is brought to justice. I don't care who or which group they are with.

Well I damn sure agree with your last statement. I hope LE can use facial recognition, online blogs and other techniques to find every single person who entered the capitol illegally and they prosecute them all to the fullest. And I don't care if that is Trump supporters, Proud Boys, BLM or Antifa infiltrators, or my grandmother (if she was still alive). Every one of them should be brought to justice so we never have to see this again!
But, regardless of what you say, none of that reduces Trumps responsibility for what happened yesterday. Actually Biden is on record numerous times condemning the violence and the rioting and property destruction, and it was a strong condemnation numerous times. Its easy to find online if you care to take a minute to look.
But I suggest you watch Trumps speech this morning to the rally right before they went up and overtook the Capitol. If you don't think that was a major incitement then you I don't know what to tell you.
Then go back and look at all the tweets and speeches and rally's over the past two months and Trumps incessant urging for his followers to show up in DC on January 6 and not let congress or the dems "steal the vote". Plan to spend some time as there are a lot of tweets involved here including some short videos.
Then you can look at all the crap he has spread concerning the vote fraud, that he started way back in 2016 and which has all been proven to be garbage through over 60 lost court cases.
Then watch the footage of the folks from the Trump rally walking from there to the capitol and starting to get uppity.
Then watch all the video footage and still photos of what actually happened at the capitol. US agents inside the capitol barricading doors with guns drawn. Proud Boys breaking through door and windows and entering the building with handguns drawn. Congress members hiding behind desks. People entering congressional offices and trashing them! Two pipe bombs found but thankfully disarmed before anything happened! 4 people dead! More than a dozen police officers hurt!
And after all that, then come back and tell me just how much Trump is responsible for what happened yesterday.
If not for Trump, there would have been no rally in DC yesterday.
If not for Trump, there would be nobody thinking there was significant fraud in the election, which has proven totally false.
If not for Trump, the Rally in DC would not have turned into a bunch of hoodlums trashing our national capitol for the first time since 1814. Think about that for a moment! Trump created the situation that led to a sacking of our nation's capitol building, while he was the damned president, for the first time since the British did it in 1814 during the War of 1812. If that does not totally disgust you then you really are not an American.
If not for trump, 4 people would not have died.
If not for Trump, a dozen police officers would not have been hurt.
If not for Trump, I doubt either of the two elections in GA would have gone democratic (sorry, just had to throw that one in).
Anyway, watch out in the future as Trump created a few felonies yesterday and I would not be at all surprised if he were to be prosecuted for in the very near future. Inciting a riot is a felony in DC.
By the way, did you hear who Biden is going to announce for his AG?
Its a name you should be familiar with: Merrick Garland
Now that is a great pick.
Oh, one other thing to think about. Now that the senate is going dem, Biden will be able to get just about any nomination he wants through congress, so Garland is likely a shoe-in to be approved. I hear a lot of GOP folks actually think he is a really good pick after what we had with Barr, so sounds like he will have some significant republican support as well.
