    In Brasilia, far-right Bolsonaro supporters have stormed the government buildings in a coup attempt.

    The insurrectionists are calling for a military intervention to restore Bolsonaro to power. Who knows, it may work. Imagine if Trump truly had command of the military after he lost.

    Could this be an amplification of the global fascist movement campaign of violence?

      Funny how to you radical leftists any attempt to maintain a thread of freedom and democracy becomes insurrections and coups but your boot on the faces of the people are just wonderful. LG Brandon is right. You’re a piece of shit. Commie pig.

    It was Trump’s admonishment to go home in peace that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Twitter and Facebook took down the video and locked Trump’s accounts. That’s right, after years of shitposting and threatening to annihilate entire countries, the President of the United States was kicked off the internet for telling people to go home in peace. Why? Because going home peacefully before nightfall was never part of the plan. The FBI had something far more bloody in mind. As night fell on the capitol, the black bloc paramilitary shock troops were to be deployed. The end of the siege would be Carthaginian in its destruction, which would then give license to a broad-spectrum crackdown. As bad as it all was, Trump’s last move as President blunted their plans to an extent. So they had to silence him.

      Sounds highly speculative. One of many alternate reality futures that didn’t happen. They silenced him to neuter him as a candidate for 2024 is the simplest explanation. The Left will never forgive themselves for not using everything in their tool box to get Hillary elected.

    CarolAnn,

    Funny, how to reactionary fascists any attempt to overthrow a government by reactionary fascist cowards like tRump, Franco, Putin, Mussolini, Hitler or Bolsonaro and their right-wing mobs represents freedom and democracy, but your boot on the faces of the people is just wonderful.

    We’re not that concerned since you derive most of your “thoughts” from Lucifer.

  5. david7134 says:

    The evidence supports the fact that Nancy P and the other Dems as well as the FBI are responsible for the storming of the Capital.

    • L.G.Brandon!, L.G.Brandon! says:

      nazi boy pays no attention to the news or any reality that does not support the narrative. He’s actually so brainwashed he’s incapable of independent thought.

      In an appalling display of fascist corruption:

      This is how the dowds of America now operate. I guess when you “own” the law, the courts, the police, the FBI/DOJ you have nothing to fear. Being a fascist Gestapo has its perks.

      Shooting and killing her unarmed daughter wasn’t enough.

      The U.S. Capitol Police arrested Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Micki Witthoeft, today, on the anniversary of her daughter’s death.

      Micki’s crime? Jaywalking. Or as is now known “pedestrian insurrection” when R’s do it.

      Witthoeft and a few protesters were peacefully walking on the side of a Washington, D.C., street when a police car pulled up and demanded the small group get on the sidewalk. One officer got a little physical with Witthoeft. After being told by a cop there would be “no discussions,” Witthoeft turned around so the officer could cuff her.

      FACT-O-RAMA! BLM and Antifa burned Washington, D.C., for four nights. I was unable to find video of any of them being arrested for jaywalking.

      Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed female, was murdered by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, a large, armed man. He was never prosecuted or even disciplined. In fact, according to Judicial Watch, Byrd got some special treatment from the Biden Administration including a promotion, a raise in salary and an increase in pension.

      FACT-O-RAMA! BLM and their trans pansexual Nancy-boy sisters in Antifa caused over 500 riots and incurred over $1 billion in damages. More than 2,000 cops were injured. None of the rioters were killed by police.

      Pro-Trump protestor Roseann Boylan also died on January 6. You can skip to the 1:20 point of this video https://twitter.com/i/status/1598158650958577664 to see her getting clubbed by police even though she is lying on the ground and not moving. Her death was first attributed to getting trampled under the mob and then to an Adderall overdose. The police officer who beat Boyland with two clubs was never disciplined.”
