Warned who?

Are you done with Ben Shapiro yet? Cuz I'm not RTing or clicking any posts or links until you're done with him.

BudGothmog44 The SPLC (to which I belong) is more comprehensive.

Not this first time FBI allowed a crisis to occur

No doubt in my mind Christopher Wray allowed this sh!t to happen to make Trump people look bad, Even Ray Charles can see this. But payed media operatives still push this agenda.

I have *never* seen the US Capitol like this. Never.

Thank goodness it’s 13F here in Minnesota.

Weird because we haven't had militia problems in MN. Nothing like what's happened in MI. Our gun laws are not as lax as other states either. Open carry of long guns in MN is illegal.

I’m just here to find out if those 225 employees of yours are still crying because of benshapiro. 😬

...meanwhile, the Russian embassy donated some barbed wired perimeter for the ceremony.

Well given the credibility of today’s FBI You can’t blame anyone for not taking anything they say serious..

Likely wont be a tail of two invasions like the capitol. Soccer-moms & hillbillies taking selfies welcomed into the capitol by police and blood thirsty extremists with hammers and pipes tossing fire extinguishers

I dont know about this. Lets hear from ben shapiro about it. Maybe alex jones or baked alaska can weigh in? Its absolutely hilarious you think you have any credibility

Is that the same FBI who lied about connections between the President and Russia?

as always the threat is more powerful than its execution

You can’t trust the FBI
