    Don't you Democrats find it strange that you have heard none of this from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, CBS etc? Much like you never heard of one good thing Trump hs done in four years? Why is that?

    You are assigning a motive to these things that does not fit with reality.

    The Left wonders why Trump supporters feel like they do. Why they follow him so much and why they feel the elections were rigged. It's because they know how much Trump did for this country. They know how the justice system has been one way right from the start. They know no matter what the Left does, no one is going to answer for it more than be fired. They are mad and have good reasons to be mad. The justice system and the bias news is all far Left and they would do anything to stop Trump. You guys have no idea of all the good he did and that's a shame. The news is suppose to report the news and they only report what they want you all to know.

    I wonder why anyone would support a person to that degree. To where they self reference themselves as a Trump Supporter. They talk about him and how good he is.

    They never talk about what they believe or the principles that drive them.

    That isn't how Americans have ever talked about a president before. I just wish the people doing it could see it.

    Thats so vague it could be anything. But it seems to me that such political persecution would be a very big problem for everyone eventually.

    The reality is, the FBI and Capital Police had ample warning there could be a lot of trouble at the Capital and it would be smart to call out the Guard. The Guard was already called out to help protect Washington DC. How much more of a problem would it have been to bring out more and guard the Capital? Wouldn't you like to know why they turned it down? Wouldn't you like to see text, phone calls and E-mails that would explain why? If you want honest and fair hearings, why wouldn't you want to know?

    I just wish you on the left had even a little idea of all he did to make things better that way you wouldn't hate him like you do. Trouble is your bias news has told you nothing. But his supporters know. They know how bad this economy was under Obama and we were going in the wrong direction and Trump turned it all around. But your bias news told you none of that. I doubt anyone on the Left can tell me two good things he did. Why is that? Why don't you know?

    By 'call out Trump' do you mean they said Trump told them to do it?

    This is the same clown that literally b*itches about people on welfare but then excuses Brett Favre, "bu bu but at least he built a volleyball stadium with it".

    You seem to think that Unity means that everybody acquiesces absolutely to the Republican/Conservative agenda. There are people who think we have other problems in the US besides illegal immigration and that Social Security might still be paid rather than giving another rocket ship to Elon Musk.

    Your a prime example of what I mean. You know nothing of all the good Trump did.

    Social Security has a problem that we must face.

    Each year the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds report on the current and projected financial status of the two programs. This message summarizes the 2016 Annual Reports.

    Both Social Security and Medicare face long-term financing shortfalls under currently scheduled benefits and financing. Lawmakers have a broad continuum of policy options that would close or reduce the long-term financing shortfall of both programs. The Trustees recommend that lawmakers take action sooner rather than later to address these shortfalls, so that a broader range of solutions can be considered and more time will be available to phase in changes while giving the public adequate time to prepare. Earlier action will also help elected officials minimize adverse impacts on vulnerable populations, including lower-income workers and people already dependent on program benefits. Read more https://www.ssa.gov/oact/trsum/

    Social Security and Medicare together accounted for 42 percent of Federal program expenditures in fiscal year 2017. The unified budget reflects current trust fund operations. Consequently, even when there are positive trust fund balances, any drawdown of those balances, as well as general fund transfers into Medicare’s Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) fund and interest payments to the trust funds that are used to pay benefits, increase pressure on the unified budget. Both Social Security and Medicare will experience cost growth substantially in excess of GDP growth through the mid-2030s due to rapid population aging caused by the large baby-boom generation entering retirement and lower-birth-rate generations entering employment. For Medicare, it is also the case that growth in expenditures per beneficiary exceeds growth in per capita GDP over this time period. In later years, projected costs expressed as a share of GDP rise slowly for Medicare and are relatively flat for Social Security, reflecting very gradual population aging caused by increasing longevity and slower growth in per-beneficiary health care costs.

    And people wonder why I hate Republicans

    And I think it could be completely forestalled for the cost of ONE of Musk's rockets.

    Maybe not one, I dunno and don't care, we could take all of them and NOBODY, not even Musk, would even notice.

    A civilization is judged on how well it takes care of it old people. Maybe one day, when all the Republicans are gone, we'll realize that

    By 'encourage them all' do you mean Trump told them all to do it?

    Its not persecution. Lets not play the victim again. He disrespected the laws, and is paying the price. Hillary was investigated for the same reason.

    No I meant what I said, encouraged. FYI you seem to deliberately leave out that those that stormed the Capital came directly from Trump's rally.

    And sports rioters usually come directly from watching a game...

    Trump didn't tell anyone anything that demonstrably equates to 'encouraging' violence or crime.

    Next week the insurrectionists, Oath Keepers, go on trial for Seditious Conspiracy. I will remind you about their "sports" role. :)

    The more we see evidence, the more we see just how corrupt the FBI has become. From illegally colluding with Russia, to illegally spying on political opponents, to framing people for attempted kidnapping, to instigating the January 6th riots.
