You're right. Maybe in that case, it's time to change the name of the Capitol Building from "The People's House" to "The Elitist's House"!

I spoke to someone who was there and was told that the doors were open and they just walked in. I think that we need to find the people who broke windows to get in and opened the doors!

IMHO, this whole thing stinks of ANTIFA plants. The media stories were all laid out too quickly and too well.

So how did we get to where we are today?
Complacency!
We have allowed the current Status Quo to take place because we have become too comfortable and allowed greedy politicians with their own agendas dictate our lives.

We stopped recognizing that these Charlatan's were voted in by us and they have the duty to serve us and not themselves.
We need term limits just like the President for both the house and congress. The truth is that Term Limits will never happen because it is their gold mine.
We have term limits...it’s called VOTE.

There's a big difference between what should be and what is.

Ever notice how some of the most unpopular members of congress get "reelected" over and over and over? It ain't because of our votes.

As a registered independent, I vote my agenda, I don’t always get my way but the point is “I VOTE”. That is the best we can get in a democracy, I accept that. You understand there has only been 1000 convictions of voter fraud since 1947 and the current administration found nothing after the 2016 elections.

I don't believe that is the best that we can get for a minute Eddie.
What eventually must happen is going to be a switch back to in-person, verifiable voting with paper ballots.

On the positive side, around 70 % of voters actually voted last month. That's a huge step in the right direction. I think that is the most in any of our lifetimes.

Billy, How do military that are stationed overseas vote. I not only voted via absentee ballot during my 24 years service but continued to do so all but one time since, no problem here. Found it this time to be convenient and safe considering four members of my family contacted and were treated for COVID.

Have you ever done something illegal and never got caught? How many times have you been speeding down the highway knowing that your speeding but didn't get caught? How many times have you gotten caught and sent the ticket to a lawyer who got the ticket reduced or dismissed because he knew the judge?

You're being naive on purpose. There's no way any person with a smidgen of common sense beleives that elections aren't rigged. Elections are rigged for high school class president for heaven's sake.

Did Daily ever get prosecuted for the 1960 election? Did anyone?

Humans have an infinite capacity to justify things. Almost always they justify bad behaviors. The honest and courageous person confronts their justifications and calls them out for what they are.
