This is vile.

Leading Report @LeadingReport
BREAKING: Rep. Lauren Boebert has invited all of the pardoned January 6ers on a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol.

...Capitol police should be given the right to refuse entry to anyone they believe is a threat to the building, legislators, or staff.

There will be no long lines for the restrooms during the tour. The participants have their own way of dealing with nature's call in that building.

...have you made an effort to suggest that to any of the leadership?

Understanding that you're not just expecting the victims of the attack to willingly face down another mob, by themselves, but just a handful of creeps trying to taunt legislators and Americans.

My view is that Capitol police shouldn't allow legislators to be exposed to those unrepentant criminals in their place of business.

...every single one of them voted to impeach him.

I think it would be nonsense, for instance, to describe them as hiding behind 'decorum' when it comes to protecting and defending their own personal safety and preogative.

But I'm not one of the ones who was running for their lives from the thousands of rioters who set up a noose on the grounds to hang the Vice President, and who roamed the halls of Congress looking to exact retribution from our Representatives, so what I think they should do about the attackers returning to their place of business doesn't mean spit.

I wouldn't give them the time of day, personally, and I'd expect the police to do their jobs and keep these unrepentant, unpunished criminals away from the scene of their crimes.

Members should seek individual or collective restraining orders against them from entering the Capitol.

Sat Jan 25, 2025, 10:53 AM

... she was so instrumental in formatting the first coup d'etat and insurrection at the US Capitol. Giving her "caseing out the joint" tours to familiarize the MAGA Goons with the layout, even though the Capitol building was closed off to public tours because of the Covid pandemic crisis.

Now that the J-6 criminals have been pardoned and released from prison by the Tangerine Fuhrer - Boebert wants to do a celebratory tour of the same building they ransacked, shit over, and smeared feces all over the walls. A celebratory coup d'etat 2.0 and spit in America's face again - if we will so allow.

Fuck Boebert,... fuck these MAGA meatheaded morons.

In her fucked up brain she sees them as heros
and freedom fighters. Years of right wing misinformation and being a high school drop out who is as dumb as a bag of hammers has poisoned her brain to the point that she is functionally useless. She is an example of a
person who listened to Rush and thought she was hearing the truth.

It is just that they don't want to accept that it will be a battle and we will have to get our hands dirty.

'Talk' is not going to get rid of this. 'Action' is.

Let's hope the upper echelons of the Democratic Party will start to understand either the fact that this is happening and act.

As the saying goes, either lead or get out of the way.
