Janice MacMillan I'm not ignoring anything. You're only getting one side here. There are thousands of hours of tape that they Capital police will not release. Why is that??They keep saying five police officers died but they were not directly caused during the riot. Pelosi and the DC Mayor turned down national guard support from the president days prior. This after we were told today that they were many concerns by different people prior to January 6th, so that doesn't wash out right. I would like to see Pelosi's text and emails to answer that question. These are things that are unanswered and pertinent for a complete picture. So please spare me your hypocrisy and your one-sided story. You give me a hard time about facts when you don't even want to hear half of them because it go against your agenda.


Susan Wales I disagree respectfully. Your statement implies that if one supports Trump (I do), then one agrees with the events that took place on that day (I don't). I think it was a mistake for Trump not to graciously accept the loss, but he DID NOT encourage or direct ANYONE to storm the Capitol. The blame for that lies squarely at the feet of the leaders and people of the two extremist groups that were mentioned last night.

Our democracy is strong despite the efforts of those extremist groups to derail it. I suspect there was a foreign government involved.


Nothing new here but I love how these people think there was some big revelation by this one-sided presentation today. What you're looking at here is the new woke way of getting the truth. You do this by declaring them guilty during a fact-finding committee and then just gathering the information you need to attempt supporting that claim. You know, the Rep Adam Schiff way of conducting an investigation.

Update: I see Facebook has become the new Twitter since that one got taken away from you. Get back to me after the midterm and show me how cocky you still are then!!


Ellen Zundl Yeah, I’m happy he had our border almost safer than ever, had the lowest unemployment in years, gave minority small businesses owners tax cuts, gage over 40 billion to urban communities themselves, has respect on the foreign stage, had no wars in 4 years, had gas prices, food costs and baby formula in good shape. My favorite part about him is that he’s scarred people like you so bad that even though you have all branches government right now, he still comes off as a threat to you and you’re still scared he will run in 2024. I get you’re a Democrat and that’s fine, so is my wife, but you can’t honestly sit here and act like this country is in better shape under Biden. You just can’t be that delusional.


Loren Whaley In what way has Trump broken the law? He was investigated and placed under a microscope his entire presidency and to no avail. Hillary and Hunter Biden on the other hand have been involved with corruptness and yet the FBI, Democrats and liberal media have given them a free pass. I am so sick of the lies and deceit from all three. I have no confidence and do not believe anything they say. Trump is not a traitor- he loves the USA and has proven so throughout his presidency. And he did it all for free- he cannot be bought.


Brenda Maurer I'm not necessarily name calling, I'm suggesting you are suffering from the very definition of these things. If you don't agree then maybe you're just crazy. Either way maybe you should get some help.
For over 4 years the Democratic party has lied about Trump Russian collusion and wasted millions in Taxpayer money to frame this hoax for political gain only to be proven wrong. The media has lied to the American people over and over again from the mostly peaceful BLM riots to Jesse smellet and so many things in between.
I in fact believe everyone of those idiots that stormed the capital should be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law, but connecting Trump to their nonsense is quite a leap from reality. You and I may not care for Trump personally, but I challenge you to come up with a Trump policy that wasn't working for Americans.
And I also challenge you to answer a very simple question that most Biden supporters cannot seem to answer and that is exactly what policies of the Biden administration do you feel are working well for the American people?
Let's see if you can answer this straight forward question.
We'll all wait for your answer...


If you didn’t watch the special last night on the January 6th attempt to over run our democracy at our capital do so it is an eye opener and it only has just begun. It’s hard to believe how anyone could still say trump isn’t a evil lying person after watching this so hour special. The interviews by some of the members of the proud boys an oath keepers and trumps most inner circle are eye opener’s. All of was because one man refuses to admit he lost so he spread lies and continues to do so. We all have the right to believe in the things we want to believe in, but sometimes we just need to realize and understand some of those things aren’t always what we believe them to be.
It’s kind of like being a child again believing in certain things that made us feel good. Remember when you found out the truth about there not being a Santa Claus an some of the other fictional characters we grew up believing were real and then discovering they weren’t? We just didn’t want to believe what we were being told by those knowing the truth. Well this is the same for the trump believers who now are facing the truth that this man was in fact evil and a liar. We all may not have the same political beliefs and that’s why there are more then one party, but I hope there is one thing we all do believe in and that is what happened January 6th 2021 never is allowed to happen again.


Monica Mimier I have been waiting for the other side to actually give us proof of all they have been saying. The fact you are sticking your head in the sand, or actually like Trump who is a little kid sticking his fingers in his ears, saying I am not listening, you can't tell me that, I don't want to hear it. I am neither a repub nor a demo, but I do believe Trump did exactly what he has been accused of doing. He did incite what happened on Jan 6, I don't understand why you think everyone is lying. If you don't believe that then why is he actually going after anyone who does not say the election was stolen? He is paying money and helping anyone who runs against people who used to support him, because they stopped saying the election was stolen. Where is the proof of all the election fraud and election stolen? Trump is a vile vengeful man. He only thinks of him and his. He turns on people if they don't parrot what he thinks they should say. Look at how he turned on Pence. and for what? because Pence refused to break the law? Pence refused to follow Trump's idea that Pence didn't have to certify the election. Say it wasn't a true election? Trump is delusional


I cannot imagine how foolish or brainwash someone must be that would actually believe anything from the Jan 6 committee? It’s notBipartisan ignoring evidence that doesn’t agree with what the outcome they want , The two so-called Republicans on there are Democrats in disguise and are losing their jobs! The undercover feds and others that were helping to instigate a mob are not called in front of it,We also know now that there was no Trump supporters busting windows trying to get in the back way, And now they’re using an ABC producer to edit and try to make this more dramatic than it really is ,ABC’s in the toilet they’ll be boycotted over this !!
Voters of both parties and those in between are more concerned with the war on crude oil which produces thousands of things not just gas, The burning down of food storage warehouses Hog producers etc. this crap is no accident
Chuck Schumer needs to be impeached and tried over instigating assassinations against Supreme Court justices ! Still waiting for Nancy Pelosi to testify what is she hiding besides a drunk cheating husband
This country is sick and tired of politicians ripping off the public behind her back and trying to blame somebody else or another country


10ºStacy Accardi um- those infiltrators at world wide peaceful protests were not a part of the movement nor cause - and in fact harmed it. um - also plenty of Dems ( or as you call them the other side) spoke out against those infiltrators ... but i guess your media didn't report that. Also - there is a big difference between infiltrators at protests and a mob of misinformed angry tools who were fueled by a potus and his media to go and attack out Capitol !!! If you can't see the difference - there is something wrong with you.
