During our live podcast/VIP/whiskey hour Friday evening, Steve commented that the Republican Party is “reeling” following the D.C. demonstration and riot last week. Given what I know of the Republican Party establishment I expect he is right, but still I was taken aback. Why in the world should Republicans be reeling? Because a handful of demonstrators invaded (or, in some cases, were ushered into) the Capitol and some of them behaved badly? What do those people–not the hundreds of thousands who demonstrated peacefully, but the few who rioted–have to do with the Republican Party?
Because the uniparty members with R by their name are just as corrupt as the dems.
Those who said they would stand my Trump and challenge electors, but bailed, will really regret that!
I hope they arrest the republicans first.

A few noisy #NeverTrumpers like Kinzinger and Murkowski - the ones who go after Trump at the drop of a hat and the sight of a camera and mic. you know the names.

My answer to leftists online is there were hundreds of thousands of people there, maybe 100 or so were dumb. Thus, the 1/6 demonstrators were mostly peaceful. 99% peaceful. And some knuckleheads putting their feet up on Pelosi's desk for some selfies is not an insurrection.
They get ridiculously mad when I say that. It's fun.

After a few weeks of Biden 'leading the nation', there will be a lot more people ready to riot.

The problem in being successful in future elections for Republican candidates will be if the Republicans don’t put integrity back into the election laws and procedures, at the State level by way of State legislatures. If the Democrats continue on, as they were able to do in the November election by using COVID as an excuse, with being able to send unlimited numbers of ballots out to say every address in a State, to people who have moved away out of State, or who have died; with the ballots being harvested by Democrat operatives, or mailed back in and being counted without any reliable verification such as signature comparison on the ballot envelope with the signature on original voter registration documentation to determine that the ballot was filled out and returned by an actual qualified and registered voter. Universal mail in ballots also evade voter ID. Without putting integrity back into election and voting processes, including electronic voting machines and their software, Republican candidates will not stand a chance.

Well put, #3. These points need to be made and promulgated far and wide.
I watched President Trump's entire speech on Right Side Broadcasting Network. It was one of the most disciplined speeches i've heard him make (emphatic, yes; insistent, yes). Following the speech, a couple of the Right Side reporters were strolling along the avenue toward the Capitol area, stopping to interview Trump supporters along the way. The posture and demeanor and the language of the attendees was anything close to riled or fixin' for a fight. They were relaxed and happy!
Now, if the President had fostered riotous emotions we would have seen it in the people walking along the broad avenue, but actually what i could see was people expressing more jollity and satisfaction.
What is irresponsible is the alacrity with which everyone condemned the President and his supporters in DC before having an analysis of the events. What i could see in videos was a bunch of people whose demeanor and verbiage and behavior was not representative of Trump rally goers. If you wanted to make things MORE difficult for the President, these thugs carried it off.
They were agitators, anarchists, THEY were the undemocratic rioters and brutes.
I only wish that cameras would have captured and shown the huge mass of Trump supporters staying clear of the mayhem. And there ought to have been some reporters interested in knowing what the rally organizers thought about the travesty of violence.
Pray for our President.
Pray for our Republic, because we DO want to keep it.

The L-dotter comments on this article are some of the best I have yet seen on Lucianne. My spirits were lifted reading them.
