Did you know the Congress building was bombed in 1983?

Here's the story. Two left wing activists got a bomb in and blew a hole in the building. They were protesting the US involvement in Grenada and Lebanon. Noone was killed.

President Bill Clinton commuted their sentences!

It was also bombed in 1915 by a German professor at Harvard.

You can't trust anyone can you?

I remember hearing about that. I didn't know that Clinton commuted their sentences. The same ass hole who was president during the Waco siege where 76 people, including 20-28 children, died while minding their own business. They didn't get any reprieve. But leftists bombing the Congress building? I guess they were just expressing their first amendment rights to protest.

There have been many attacks over the years on buildings in Washington DC, starting with the British burning the White House during the War of 1812. In the grand scheme of things, the incident of January 6, 2021 was relatively minor, yet it gets blown up in liberal media and by Democrats.

Sorry but gotta disagree. A riot ( not an incident) that resulted in deaths in an attempt to interfere in the smooth running of the government is NOT a relatively minor thing. If it was a bunch of Dems doing it would you say the same thing?

@Spencer10. Deaths? You mean Ashli Babbitt who was shot in the back by an ass hole cop?

Aside from that, there were a few broken windows. No vandalism or arson like leftists are famous for.

If leftists had done it, Democrats would have called it a protest.

Yes I knew this.

Also: The 1954 United States Capitol shooting was a domestic terrorist attack on March 1, 1954, by four Puerto Rican nationalists seeking to promote Puerto Rican independence from the United States. They fired 30 rounds from semi-automatic pistols onto the legislative floor from the Ladies' Gallery (a balcony for visitors) of the House of Representatives chamber within the United States Capitol.

A couple of liberals were responsible for this so it was no big deal.
