  1. Can anyone find a video of the riot?

  2. This is no worse than government agencies, and the President, purposely lying to the whole country to sway an election.

  3. Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $280k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.

  4. The argument that they should give him a lighter sentence because he "never actually entered" the capitol is ridiculous. Osama bin Laden never actually entered the country during 9/11. Should he have gotten off easy?

  5. American regime is similar to Iranian

  6. Living your best life…..as a pirate.

  7. Funny how all these white supremacists claim America is under attack, but they’re the ones literally attacking the capital and killing people. Bunch of losers.

  8. Thanks NBC for matching a picture reinforcing accountability
    (depicting their horrifying behavior in action) to dispell
    the myth of the insincere revisionist forces – whenever
    referencing these less than role model worthy individuals.

  9. Trump supporter rots in jail, while his master laughs from his golf course,

  10. ถ้าผู้นำคนนี้ปลดหนี้สินได้สำเร็จคนที่มาเป็นผู้นำคนต่อไปก็จะมีงบประมาณทำให้ประเทศมีเงินทุนผลักดันให้ประเทศเข้มแข็งและคนต่อๆไปก็สามารถสร้างสรรค์โครงการต่างๆมากมายให้ประชาชนและประเทศดีขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ

  11. Although education is important and should be valued, morals should be more important and highly valued. America has low eduction standards and college graduation rates. Ignorance and low education are some of the significant things that poison America. However, lack of morals is the most crucial thing that poisons America and everything else. It’s the one thing that can poison everything around the world. It just goes to show that regardless of high education, lack of morals will lead to evil and destruction.

    Rhodes should have received a longer and harsher sentence. Our justice system and constitution need major improvements. Justice Matters! People should have high moral standards and honor GOD!

  12. Only 18 months? Why not life? First of all, the people killed in the riot wont get a second chance. Second, with their level of dumbess, do you seriously expect them to actually be welcomed and successful in life?

  13. Let everyone know that the Russia Ukraine war may become global. There is a constant shipment of missiles to Europe, withdraw your money from the bank, buy ounces of gold or physical gold, be fast,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  14. Where is HRC, sentencing?

  15. Considering his wife did all the studying for ELMER, seems she learned more than he did

  16. Nothing on Trump yet? The main player

  17. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving traitor. Bye bye Elmer!

  18. Far Right Extreme Ideology mixed with frustration will land you in prison or DEAD, a beautiful conclusion

  19. How was he not charged for capitol murder on those capitol police that died anyone else wooda got the chair
