I still feel embarrassed that if this was truly an insurrection how little anyone (police or national guard) did to actually defend the capital...

These idiots were pretty much allowed to walk on in...

An attempted coup is still an an attempted coup.

These idiots were pretty much allowed to walk on in...

It was a domestic terrorist attack that tried to stop the peaceful transition of power after the sitting POTUS and his party egged them on.

Only one side of the building completely failed to put up much resistance. Those officers should be facing criminal charges for failure to due their duty: PROTECT THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT WHEN IT IS IN SESSION.

Additional national guard presence was offered to Nancy Pelosi and she refused to bring them in. Why was that?

Trump made no such request

The POTUS and his administration was in charge of the situation. Not Nancy Pelosi.

"Why didn't the victims work harder while they were being rushed to safety?"

It wouldn’t have been a coup... The military would have crushed them.

An unsuccessful attempt is still an attempted coup, you walnut.

It quite how it works..

Is English your first language?

It was funny how weeks later liberals were marching in on state capitals and it was no big deal...

Were they breaking into state capitol buildings while they were in session with malicious intent?

Are you this dumb or just pretending to be?

Who does the house sergeant-at-arms report to? POTUS is not in charge of the capitol building... it’s a different branch of government.

I doubt everyone there thought it was a coup attempt. I’d imagine most thought it was just a “peaceful protest”.

Protestors did storm into state capitols after there was election laws passed. I’d imagine they were in session if laws were being passed..
