   Sounds like the FBI needs to investigate that insurrection at the   
   Capitol... was anyone shot and if not why not, the shoot at Republican   
   protesters and then arrest and charge the protesters with insurrection   
   for doing it near the U.S. Capitol.   
      
   Did the Democrats threaten to NOT obey the laws? Sounds like a   
   conspiracy to commit an insurrection.   
      
      
   --   
   -That's karma-   
      
   Democrats will take your cars and guns and food and they will begin   
   their occupation as they control energy that allows them total control   
   of you, under the guise of saving you from yourself. That's the GLOBAL   
   WARMING CULT.
