genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?
I find it interesting that Trump supporters have never seen these videos. They claim there is no footage of that day. 😳 I watched it in real time on TV when it was happening, just like Trump.
1. FYI, the footage is all over the internet.
2. You can CLEARLY see them breaking windows. The law says that’s breaking and entering.
3. I’ve been to the Capitol, you have to go through security to enter. You don’t enter through broken windows. That’s just a fact.
This is the entire point of them trying to defund USPS. They will make you all reliant on capitalism instead of a government funded mailing system so that they can choose how to punish you when you don't meet their demands.
I think one of the wildest things, is that all of this is happening on the verge of the USA 250th anniversary. Like this should be a momentous time in our history, but instead we've never been more splintered. With corrupt elites laughing and mocking us directly.

Congress makes $174k.
Median income is about $63k.
Minimum wage is $7.25.
If your “public servant” needs Wall Street crime to survive, that’s not a government, that’s a cartel.
Welcome to neo-feudalism. You’re the peasant, they’re the aristocracy.
Don’t forget, Congress also gets $258 per day for lodging (housing) and $79 per day for food/incidentals when Congress is in session (or for committee meetings). That brings their salary up to about $234K a year. Plus they get 75% off health insurance subsidized by taxpayers.
But @SpeakerJohnson is RIGHT. Prices are through the roof. The People need a raise.
Restore the ACA tax credits.
Raise the minimum wage.
End the war in Iran.
These will make life more affordable for all Americans, not just Members of Congress getting a raise because the Republicans and Trump have made life unaffordable.
Instead of paying yourself more, get back to work and earn a raise.
