Five people are dead and the heart of our democracy was invaded by a violent mob. There are no hysterics here.



Heart of democracy or historic conference center with attached offices?

If democracy does not beat in hearts of all and instead resides in an old building far away then truely its count of future days is not high.


Hilarious how historic government symbols and tradition are suddenly cool again, after a summer of statues, monuments, and buildings being vandalized and toppled.


All the people who died chose to be there. It's not like bystanders died. They knew the risks going in. Plus, one died of stroke and another of a heart attack. Blaming those deaths on Parler is a little hysterical.


just keep pushing people into corners, surely that will help to calm things down.
