Babbit was a prior U.S. Air Force troop and knew the ramifications of breaching a "Restricted Area" in a government building
Babbit was breaking through a wire-reinforced window on a door within the "Restricted Area"
The U.S. Capital Police were well within their jurisdiction to protect the "Restricted Area"
Unless you are former military or have extensive experience working in a government facility within a Restricted Area, you are way out of your league on this one. We are trained at great length about these things.
Did you kill for Israel?
WTF are talking about? Aren't you against the slaughter and removal of Palestinians from Gaza and have condemned Trump for his stance there? Yet you defend him and his lackies at every opportunity. Strange.
Babbit was breaking into a restricted area after the mob forced police to retreat by beating them with pipes, pepper spraying, using tazers on cops and using barriers as a ram to overrun cops. To say the police were backed into a corner at that point is an understatement. The Capital Police showed an amazing level of restraint by not shooting dozens of the Insurrectionists.
The restricted area she was breaking in had members of Congress and she was armed with a knife. Many of the insurrectionists were armed as stated above and the cops knew this because those weapons had been used on them. There was no leap to assume she had a weapon.
You are refusing to acknowledge facts and then casting bizarre accusations on others to avoid answering to the facts.
""US stocks closed mixed on Tuesday as President Donald Trump's revived tariff threats and potential toughening of China curbs weighed on market optimism while new data signaled fears over future economic growth. Consumer confidence plummeted in February, notching its biggest monthly decline in nearly four years as 12-month inflation expectations jumped and recession fears escalated."
At what's even worse is that this now applies to current and recent-past Republicans. There are NO Cheney's or Kinzinger's in the House. Not even a Romney in the Senate.
And if ole' JD was (or is) in a position like Pence was after the 2020 election, suppose he'd act in the same principled way? We have every reason to believe that the answer is "No."
Olden' days Republicans eventually stood up to Nixon. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that current D's would do the same to a D Nixon or Trump. But unfortunately, current Rs have removed all doubt about their character.
Integrity is something I value in my personal life, but not in politicians. It’s part of their job to lie and cheat. If Romney were 30 years younger and concerned about his political future, he’d be doing whatever he could to stay in Trump’s good graces.
You’re free to value it in politicians , but you choose not to. And, of course, if everyone looked at it that way, we’d have even more of what it sounds like you think is a bad thing.
And it’s not part of their job to lie and cheat. Many choose to, and voters are free to decide whether or not they’ll reward it. I simply can’t imagine why someone would want to reward it.
we elected a dishonorable man in Trump and we will pay the consequences. Just as we paid the consequences last time we elected this dishonorable man.
you are making my point
Semantics time. “Dishonorable” seems more in line with the run of the mill slimy politician who Hunter might be referencing. Some in spades (eg, many current Trumpers), some arguably more sparingly (eg, the very well known but fairly limited lies of Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama).
Trump’s obviously light years beyond that. Lawless, amoral, perfectly unethical, pathologically dishonest, etc., etc.

Sorry, I meant to include Biden in my “more sparingly” list above.
You know what sucks? Living in a country where Biden can (wrongly and frustratingly) lie less than 1% as much as Trump, and SO many people will use that relative handful of lies as proof that he’s 100% the same, or worse, than the fat orange reference point.
The World Health Organization has fired seven people, including at director level, for sexual misconduct in six months as the body attempts to reform after a number of scandals. In 2021 an independent commission published its...

Here is a suggestion for Trumpers.
Instead of making pathetic excuses for someone to further the right wing goal of whitewashing that day, why don’t you stop posting here and reflect upon why this mob and Babbit specifically wanted to break through that door so badly? Why not just continue your protest outside of the door in obedience to the police?
You know the answer if you have a brain in your head. And if you are honest with yourself you know exactly why she is dead.
Take your BS elsewhere.
Awe, someone is butthurt over 11/5 and can't let it go.
Of course Kamala would have done just a phenomenal job, eh? LOL! Biden wasn't in control the last 2 years and any lib that can't man up to that is a dolt at best.
Kamala had no policies, just lies and excuses for everything that CNN and others brought up, total BS. You lost.
Agip lies and posts the most ignorant points on the thread. 99% of his posts are garbage lies and again, fear mongering with a capital FM! If it's that bad and all of these terrible things are going to happen....move losers, move.
Keep complaining though, as I love to read the Daily AGIP Political Gannett, it's a hoot! I can't wait till Summer as it's the posts that never stop giving! :):):):)
LOL!!!! Sexual abuse scandal!!?!? They sound like ideal candidates for positions in the Trump administration. He loves abusers—they remind him of himself.
