American, I would say that any group that invades the Capitol building, looking for Congress people they happen to disagree with to murder, constitutes the very definition of a terrorist. I don't believe most Republicans that voted for Trump are terrorists, just in total denial of the kind of person Trump is, and the damage he has caused our republic.

Jlw Loc: Wisconsin

You lefties keep talking about how much damage that Trump has done to this country, but never have one example. What do you think about china joe? How many jobs is he going to lose this week? How much is he giving away to foreign countries? How many illegals have you welcomed into your home? And support? Awaiting your reply. Which will probably be a long winded I hate Trump

Any Patriot to you chumps, is a terrorist. Anyone voting for the dem party and Slo Joe are the real terrorists as they will not denounce Antifa or Black Lies Matter who are the real domestic terrorists in our country.

kittykatt

And as fast as biden can sign executive orders he is undoing all the good that Trump did.

woodguru

People this ignorant are the danger to this country, you are like a loaded and cocked zip gun that can be pointed by trump that might blow up in your face

woodguru

The good that trump did? Trump did a whole lot of undoing of the good Obama did, including reducing pollution levels.

We are at war with mindless rhetoric and lies like this right here, we are cancelling this culture of fake crap... you are being made

kittykatt

It's not those on the right that are ignorant and a danger to this country. We are the ones who know exactly that is going on in this country. It's those on the left who either can't or are unwilling to see what is going on. Or maybe it doesn't bother you that biden is in bed with the chinese who seek to destroy us. Their idea is to explode an EMP about the central US which would destroy people but leave the infrastructure intact except for the electrical grid.

Does anybody know how long it would take for the chinese to get here across the Pacific Ocean?

The Canadians are also in bed with the chinese which makes us vulnerable via our Northern border.

We are in more danger than we realize and the sooner we all wake up to it the better. And in the end it won't matter which side of the political fence we are on. The only thing that our enemies will be looking at is that we are Americans and/or Christians.

kittykatt

obama is responsible for the violence that took place last year.

American Vet

TDS rant.

Do you make generalizations about other people? African Americans? Jewish people? Handicapped people?

promilitary

Diane Fienstein once stated that military veterans were terrorits.

Big Kahuna

But her Chinese spy who drove her around for 30 years and to whom she passed on our military secrets was not a terrorist. Ms Frankenstein and her Chinese spy, in my opinion, were both terrorists.
