All the Washington Post, a D.C. outlet, could do was a tiny blurb on the side. Imagine pro-Trump folks did something similar
Thousands circle White House to demand Biden enforce Gaza ‘red line’
Is this America or Gaza?
Thousands of demonstrators surrounded the perimeter of the White House in a sea of ‘ fabric Saturday, saying they were drawing a red line for President Biden and calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
On the same day that Gazan officials said at least 210 Palestinians were killed in a refugee camp, the demonstrators — many of whom had arrived on buses from more than two dozen cities — marched to chants of “Free Palestine!” while holding signs that said “Genocide is our red line” and “Israel bombs, your taxes pay.” While marching, they held a seemingly unending strip of red fabric around the entire perimeter.
No mention that they were killed as the IDF rescued 4 hostages, who were surrounded by human shields. Nor is there any mention of them saying “Globalize the intifada,” “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” and “From the river to the sea, …”
For Mohammad, a leader in the Palestinian Youth Movement who addressed the demonstrators before the march, it’s personal.
His aunts and uncles are in Rafah, not far from where an Israeli strike killed dozens of people at a tent camp. His parents and other family are in North Gaza. He remembers the first call he got from his family members after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that ignited the deadly war.
Isn’t it great how the U.S. is allowing Islamic extremists with links to the Muslim Brotherhood into the country? Anyhow, there’s lots of paragraphs supporting the people, and no mention of the violence and graffit
The demonstration and march remained largely peaceful. A D.C. police spokesperson said the agency had not made any arrests, while the U.S. Park Police did not respond to an inquiry on arrests.
That’s it. There are some photos showing the graffiti and the pro-Hamas folks wearing Intifada keffiyehs (but, no mention as to what they means). Nor this
Anti-Israel agitators outside the White House threw objects at a National Park Service ranger, shouting “piggy, piggy!” at him, and defaced statues on Saturday in Washington, D.C. (snip)
Protesters also started defacing the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square next to the White House with red handprints to symbolize the “blood” on Biden’s hands. (snip)
Several additional barriers were put in place around the White House ahead of this weekend’s planned demonstration, where activists are calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel amid its war with Hamas militants.
Wait, fences work?
The White House protest, organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), is the most significant of Saturday’s D.C. demonstrations.
They’re still around? Strange that they only show up when it’s to protest to protect Islamists.

When does the FBI start searching for these insurrectionists, arrest them, keep them in jail with no bail, then try them and send them to prison for a few years like the J6 folks, most of who simply wandered around the Capitol Building and did no damage?
Sorry Mr Teach, you incorrectly identified them as “insurrectionists”
Please note that st your Jan 6 mostly peaceful riot 126 police were hospitalized.
Millions of dollars if damage occured.
Thanks again for the opportunity to remind you about Jan 6
Please note that the left has been calling Jan 6th an “insurrection” for 3 and a half years even though no one has been charged with that. Also please note that the left’s Antifa and BLM riots lasted about 8 months, killing 24 and injuring about 700 police officers and between 1 and 2 billion in damages. But thanks for bringing that up, Johnny, so we could compare.
On Jan 6 2021, thousands of MAGA followers, incited by then president Trump, Rudy Giuliani and some GOPers stormed the US Capitol hoping to prevent Congress from certifying the election of President-elect Biden.
1:00 a.m.: Trump tweets: “If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency.”
1:13 a.m.: Ali Alexander, Stop the Steal organizer, tweets “First official day of the rebellion.”
3:23 a.m.: Ron Watkins, imageboard administrator and prominent QAnon figure, posts a tweet accusing Vice President Mike Pence of orchestrating a coup against Trump. He also linked to a blog post which called for “the immediate arrest of [Pence], for treason.”
6 a.m. hour: Unidentified individuals construct a gallows outside the Capitol, leaving off crossbeam and noose.
6:29 a.m.: Stewart Rhodes reminds the Oath Keepers that blades over “3 inches” are illegal in the city. He tells them to “[k]eep [the knives] low profile.”
7:25 a.m.: The National Park Service observes that people are hiding bags in trees to bypass inspection.
7:30 a.m.: White House chief of staff Mark Meadows texts Representative Jim Jordan “I have pushed for this” but is “not sure it is going to happen,” referring to Pence overturning the election results.
8:06 a.m.: Trump tweets a false allegation of election fraud.
8:07 a.m.: Secret Service countersurveillance agents reported that “members of the crowd are wearing ballistic helmets, body armor and carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks.”
8:17 a.m.: Trump tweets: States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud… All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!”
8:22 a.m.: Trump tweets a request for Republican party officials to delay the electoral count.
11:50 a.m.: Trump could see that TV viewers would perceive the venue as not filled to capacity. That was because about half of his 53,000 supporters refused to be screened for weapons by passing through the magnetometers and thus had not entered the area. Trump yelled: “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Take the fucking mags away”.
11:57 a.m.: President Trump begins his speech.
12:00 p.m.: A Federal Protective Service briefing email reports that about 300 Proud Boys are at the Capitol, a man in a tree near the Ellipse is holding a rifle, and some of the 25,000 people around the White House are hiding bags in bushes. 12 – 1 p.m., the National Park Service detains someone with a rifle.
1:02 p.m.: Pence says, “It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not”.
1:10 p.m.: Trump ends his speech with “We fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”.
1:25–4:03 p.m.: Trump returned to WH and watched TV.
2:11 p.m.: Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola (NY, 10 yrs) breaks a window using a police shield. Michael Sparks (KY, convicted and sentenced to 2 yrs) crawls through and opens a door.
2:13 p.m.: Capitol breached. Senate recessed, Pence removed.
2:20 p.m.: The House is gaveled into recess and starts to evacuate.
2:24 p.m.:Trump tweets “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
2:44 p.m.: Ashli Babbitt is shot by Capitol Police while attempting to force entry into the Speaker’s Lobby adjacent to the House chambers by climbing through a window that led to the House floor.
3:13 p.m.: President Trump tweets: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”
4:17 p.m.: Trump uploads a video to Twitter: “I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order.”
6:01 p.m.: Trump tweets: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”
10:15 p.m.: The Senate votes 93–6 against the objection raised by a handful of Republican senators against the counting of Arizona’s electoral votes.
11:30 p.m.: The House votes 303–121 to reject the Republican objection to the counting of Arizona’s electoral votes.
3:32 a.m.: After all the objections are rejected, Congress completes the counting of the electoral votes, with Biden winning, 306–232; Vice President Pence affirms the election result, formally declaring Biden the winner.
Another C&P.
TL;DNR.

Unironically, Mr Teach typed: Imagine pro-Trump folks did something similar
Is there a difference between being anti-Biden and pro-Trump?
The protesters didn’t break down the fence, break windows or enter the White House. They didn’t attempt to obstruct US government proceedings.
It appeared some did deface property, and it was reported they threw objects at police. No injuries were reported.
Also police didn’t launch teargas canisters willy-nilly into the crowd in order to provoke a riot as they did Jan. 6.

Bwaha! Lolgfy
LOL. Got it. The police guarding the Capitol provoked the insurrection, not Trump.
Yep. You got it, Rimjob.
GRTX $.10/share
Finally you admit it Elwood. It was the police that opened up the doors and pull back the blockades. Not Trump.
Before you once again repeat lies about Donald Trump you might wanna refresh yourself by taking a look at exactly what he said at the time. He told his followers to go to the capital and peacefully protest because the men in blue are our friends. He never told anybody to attack anything nor did he tell anybody to use violence on anything. So stop lying about it. We don’t fall for your lies anymore man. We are wise to you guys.
L.G.,
You MAGAts have inculcated so many lies into your beings that you can no longer tell reality from your fantasies. Where do you find that the police let them in? If they did, the police should go to jail!!
You gotta fight! You gotta fight like hell or you won’t have a country any more!!
If Trump loses again, he’ll make the same false claims. This time he’ll be unlikely to try the ridiculous Rudy/Eastman/Cruz/Hawley/Jordan fake elector bullshit. The only hope is a more violent insurrection.
The only way your Mob Boss Donnie can stay our of prison is 1) win by any means necessary or 2) violent revolution by you guys. Are you up to it? Will you risk your life to keep Big Donnie out of prison? I didn’t think so.
Dontcha just love it when Rimjob gets overly dramatic about stuff he doesn’t know?
The name calling and made up scenarios don’t seem work anymore.

You keep insisting Trump “provoked” an “insurrection.”
I keep insisting they were there to demand the certification of nakedly questionable state elections was held until they were properly investigated.
Where’s your evidence, you worthless cocksucker? What SPECIFICALLY did Trump do that made any of this happen?
Robert Stacy McCain wrote:
Hamas and the left are whining that over 210 or 274 Palestinians were killed in rescuing four hostages alive, as though that’s somehow a terrible thing. If Hamas hadn’t kidnapped them in the first place, no Palestinians would have been killed during the rescue, because there would have been no hostages taken.
Hamas started a war they could not win, and Palestinian civilians — are there really any adult Palestinians who are truly civilians? — are being killed in the war Hamas started, just like German children and Japanese children and Italian children were killed in wars that those nations started. That’s what war is!
Trump said “I know everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capital building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. Later-“we need to have peace. We need to have law and order. You need to go home.” Trump asked for more National Guard-Pelosi refused. Capital guards were seen on video opening the gates so the unarmed “insurrectionists” could enter. Also videos of guards shaking hands and patting protesters on the back. Videos of protesters calmly walking between velvet ropes used to guide tourists into the building. A former Capital police chief calling the whole thing a “set up”. He was told he’d be terminated if he spoke about it. There’s much more…
Then, at 4:15….wait-at no time was anyone charged with “insurrection”
2:24 p.m.: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
Classic Trump: 4:17 p.m.: “I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace.”
jl typed: Trump asked for more National Guard-Pelosi refused.
That is just jl repeating another Trump lie. Trump did not ask for 10,000 or 20,000 National Guard. Speaker Pelosi does not control the National Guard. Anyway, why would National Guard be needed for a peaceful protest?
Trump lies constantly. Surely you realize that.
Trump: “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi!”
(Trump admitting it was an insurrection but caused by Speaker Pelosi)
Trump: “there were no guns, there were no anything”
(Stun guns, knives, clubs, bear spray, batons were found. 116 defendants “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.” e.g., Mark Mazza (5 yrs), Guy Reffitt (7 yrs), Christopher Alberts (7 yrs), Jerod Thomas Bargar (probation), Mark Ibrahim (pled not guilty) charged with having firearms)
