      Considering it was the Democrat party, and to be more specific, it was Nancy Pelosi who was the speaker of the House at that time, and she was responsible for the White House security as well. So you have to ask yourself, why did Nancy Pelosi wait till the protesters were already inside the White House, while the protesters were walking around the House for more than an hour? It's only after some Major amount of time that passed, before Nancy called for more aid, or police to come help out at the White House. Since Donald Trump was the president, then it's real easy for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to place 100% of the blame onto the Republicans, and Donald Trump. So did you ask yourself why the Democrat party, and Nancy Pelosi take no blame whatsoever for what happened at the White House? That means you would have to be a bit of a detective, and even a little intelligent to see that the Democrats were to blame for what happened to the White House. No one would have broken into the White House, especially if more security was called in before the protesters arrived. Which by the way Nancy was told to bring in more aid, or security to the White House, but chose to ignore that request.

      Clearly this was staged, it was so obvious. Especially when it was the Democrats and to be more specific, Nancy Pelosi was speaker of the House at that time. Therefore the White House security was in the hands of the Democrats. Now Nancy was informed hours before any protesters entered the White House, that more security, and police should be at the White House, but Nancy chose to do nothing. It's only when the protesters were already in the White House, and walking around for more than an hour, that more aid, or help was brought to the White House. Since Donald Trump, and the Republicans never had control of the White House at that time. Then how can all the blame go towards Donald Trump? Especially since Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat party zealot had 100% control of the White House, but since Donald was the President at that time, then Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats put 100% of the blame on the Republicans, Maga, Donald Trump, and anyone that doesn't think like a Democrat party member. The real shame is how ignorant most Americans really are, and they can't see the Forest through the trees. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have a history of being liars, or twisting the truth around.

      @ChakatStripedfur 2 роки тому +3

      @@HOTD108_ He's saying that, if you're incompetent, violence is your last refuge because it's literally the only thing you can do. You're so incompetent that you can't do _anything_ else, so you use violence as a last-ditch effort to get what you want.
      The defeat of the Nazis and the English was accomplished through violence because that was, unfortunately, the best solution. If the Allies didn't defeat the Axis during the war, the whole world would've been plunged into a Nazi regime with Hitler running the show, and every race but his 'perfect' one would've been killed off.
      With the English, if we didn't break off ties with them we'd still be an English colony. Look at Great Britain and Ireland. That'd pretty much be us today. We would've gotten sick and fucking tired of it eventually, even if we didn't get tired of it not too long after the colonies were formed, and we would've basically formed our own version of the IRA to push the English out. Only by this time we would've been _royally_ out numbered and at a severe disadvantage, seeing as they would've had all the advanced weaponry and munitions (not to mention this would've essentially been their country, so they would have a _ton_ of their own military stationed all across America. If it would even still be called America by then), so we'd still be fighting a losing war if we'd waited.
      By going to war with the English for our independence when we did, we were able to engage them when we essentially had the home field advantage. An advantage we would not have had if we had waited too long.

      - Come turtle, please.
      - What do you want from me ?, said the turtle fearfully.
      The scorpion explained that he wanted to cross to the other side of the river but he could not swim, as he was afraid of drowning and he knew that she was a good swimmer, he asked for help to be able to cross the river on his carapace.
      - I can not, you are a scorpion and when I get close to you, you will sting me and I will die.
      The scorpion defended itself:
      - I need to cross to the other side, I'm in a hurry and I can not go around the river, please, help me, I know I'm a scorpion, but it's not my fault that I am what I am.
      The turtle continued to refuse, did not finish trusting the scorpion and feared it would sting.
      - I propose the following - the scorpion said, approach the shore and I, instead of climbing your legs, I will jump and climb up to your shell. Also, think about this ... if it bites you, you will die and you will sink, if you die, I will drown.
      That explanation convinced the turtle that he ended up trusting the scorpion. However, when they reached the middle of the river, the turtle felt a prick in the neck, his whole body began to fall asleep and before drowning he asked:
      - Why did you do it?
      - I'm sorry, I could not help it, it's in my nature ... the scorpion answered before sinking too.

      @@jrudovsky I live in DC, you know. I was there during the BLM protests when all those antifa you guys were so scared of were around. The only people I knew of who were killed or even injured not by police were killed by your boys - Trumpsters and Proud Boys attacking protesters, who I saw, you know, they were overwhelmingly peaceful (unlike the Trump protesters), running cars into BLM pickets etc. Meanwhile, I live here now during Trumpian takeover. It's completely different. They're literally knifing and attacking innocent people on the street because they ~~~look like antifa~~~ to them, even though they're just innocent strangers sitting at the ATM or walking out of Starbucks. I wonder if people like you will ever wake up. Similarly, y'all believe there was a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza shop I literally lived a couple blocks from, that didn't even have a basement. I wonder if there's any hope for you, or if you're permanently lost. I'll pray for you tonight that one day light opens your eyes from ignorance.
