The storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters shouldn't have been a surprise. It puts on full display the divisions that have split this country for most of its history.

I heard that phrase from the pulpit when I was a teenager, and it’s resounded in my head as I moved through life: Don’t venerate the hoodlums, don’t dabble in wrongdoing, don’t give your heart to someone whose values you can’t trust.

I guess Donald Trump’s minions never heard my pastor’s advice. Trump’s fervent supporters — and the Republicans who represented them in Congress — were so eager to bask in his orange glow, they handed Trump the wheel and then cheered as he steered us off a cliff.

It’s a window, instead, into the challenges we face as we blindly pursue the notion that America’s success rests on some storybook sense of unity.The truth is our country has been driven by division for most of its history. We’ve been saddled with a hierarchy aligned with white entitlement, and now we need once and for all to dislodge it.

But it wasn’t just the assault on democracy that choked me up; it was the reminder that even in our country’s most volatile moments, white skin provides a sense of invulnerability that Americans like me will never know.

The Anti-Christ, LA Times.

It is the Democrat party and media such as CNN that has blood on it's hands. When something is suppressed it must find a way to be heard. You played yourselves

When you let the turd drive your bus, don't be surprised if you smell like shit after 4 years.

'the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it's natural manure.' - Thomas Jefferson

Don't forget the Dems still blatantly broke election laws and burned businesses to the ground.

realDonaldTrump Sir, you need to step down now, and Resign as President, cause they will charge you with all this conflict you started and having the Protesters 'ATTACK' the Capital Building, that is Unamerican and makes you a Traitor!!

That’s pretty dramatic.

SHE WARNED US ALL!

Lol. When you don't acknowledge the existence of the devil, do not use him to make political points.

So is Kaepernick taking a knee still an inappropriate way to protest?

Accusations of fraud with no evidence is pure evil Luke 3:14 Then some soldiers asked him, 'And what should we do?' He replied, '...........don't accuse people falsely.........' psalms 5:6 You will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah detests violent and deceptive people.

It's the old, frog and the scorpion story.

When you give the devil a ride, don’t be surprised when he throws you under the bus and runs you over.
