They are camouflaged (barely) by the majority of the 43% that still stick with trump and are a significant danger. They, along with the twisted ideology of QAnon, make this the Islamic Jihad of our country and are just as dangerous. McVey was tied to the Michigan Militia, and was no nut - he was evil.

If we don't find a way to get through to the Greg's of the world that they are providing cover and assistance for a dangerous radical group that has been with them form the start, we are potentially unleashing a domestic terrorist group that will rival radical Islam.

IMO, the ONLY reason these Militia nazi's did not succeed in killing members of Congress is that they were shielding themselves with the true-blood trumpies and they did not get to the front of the mob in time before members of Congress were shuffled off to safety. It only took one bullet to stop the trumpies at the front of the line and stop the incursion. Seeing one dead trump fanatic is all it took to scare them off. It won't be true for the embedded nazi's and racists.

They are the biggest haters on the planet. And these are most Students, morons who have had their heads filled with Marxism for the last 4 years they were in College.

I guess Joe Biden's call for UNITY is out the window, eh??

As if it was ever a REAL thought in any leftist's head.

There's this thing called the Constitution and so tell me how Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz ignored the Constitution, violated it, or violated their oath to it.

Be specific.

Hi Jim:

Pence is probably the most compelling example of what I was talking about in the other thread.  Let's assume that Pence wants the best for this nation.  I personally think that is true.  knowing what he knew about Trump in 2016 he could have declined the VP.  Or he could have decided that he could best serve the country by taking the job, advancing conservatives policies and buffering the nation from Trump's worst impulses, should Trump go off the rails.   Remember this is 2016.

In the run up to and aftermath of the election, leading to the riot, Trump went off the rails, but Pence stayed the course and we will have an orderly transition of power.

I doubt that history will be kind to Pence - but maybe future historians will acknowledge that things could have been a lot worse if Pence had acted affirmatively to further Trump's attempts to overturn the valid election.  

I recognize and appreciate that it is easy for the half of the country who loathed Trump from day 1 to see Pence as nothing but a toady.  That is CNN's message right?  But did Pence do anything to thwart the certification of the election as Trump demanded?  I don't think so, but of course could have missed something.

I'm not so sure about that.  More importantly, If I understand it correctly, the vaccine roll out is a state by state thing.  The Feds have little to do with it.  Some states will be efficient and effective.  Other states will be rolling disasters.

Rod, that is how healthcare distribution in our country is supposed to work.  I see that we are leading the world in vaccinations.  Also saw that the Chinese vaccine being tested in Brazil is kind of sketchy.  When it comes to vaccinations, I am very happy to be in the good old USA.
