What we witnessed yesterday was the last gasps of a corrupt and discredited left-wing political and media establishment that has, for decades, driven our country into the ground—shipping away our jobs, surrendering our strength, sacrificing our sovereignty, attacking our history and values, and trying to turn America into a country that our people can barely recognize.
These radical leftists in Washington care NOTHING for American Democracy. All they care about is control over you, and wealth and riches for themselves.
But they are failing. No one believes them anymore. And the day is quicky coming when they will be overwhelmingly voted out of power.
Joe Biden’s voice is now the voice of desperation and despair.
His handlers gave him that speech to read yesterday because they know the unprecedented failures of his presidency and the left-wing extremism of the Pelosi-Schumer Congress have destroyed the Democrat Party.
Part of their panic is motivated by the realization that, just like the Russia Collusion Hoax, they cannot sustain the preposterous fabrications about January 6 much longer. The truth is coming out.
But for them, the worst part of it all is the knowledge that the American People are seeing right through their phony media event—which despicably compared a Pelosi-led security failure at the Capitol to the darkest days in American history and the deaths of 3,000 Americans.
The people see right through that sham. They see a cynical politician who ran for office promising unity who is now doing the most divisive thing possible—slandering his political opponents as domestic terrorists, just like insecure dictators do in communist countries.
The American People also see that January 6 has become the Democrats’ excuse and pretext for the most chilling assault on the civil liberties of American citizens in generations. It is being used to justify outrageous attacks on free speech, widespread censorship, de-platforming, calls for increased domestic surveillance, appalling abuse of political prisoners, labeling opponents of COVID lockdowns and mandates as national security threats, and even ordering the FBI to target parents who object to the radical indoctrination of their children in school. And this week, January 6 is also the Democrats’ excuse for trying to pass a radical Federal takeover of state election law. They are trying to BAN voter ID and other basic measures that can ensure the sacred integrity of the vote.
The reason the Democrats are doing all of this is not because they believe they will win a fair and honest election. It’s because they know they will overwhelmingly LOSE one.
Remember, I am not the one trying to undermine American Democracy—I am the one trying to SAVE American Democracy.
thank you president trump !
You and yours fucked our democracy. Every damn one of yall. POS every one of you bleeding hearts MF'S
Omg is abc this bad ?? I know manbc is a propaganda liberal outlet but ABC too?? Damn. I guess they don’t know adam shiff is probably the most proven pathetic liar and partisan hack in all of congress – and that is a bold statement considering all politicians lie- but adam shiff has made a total fool of himself for 4-5 years ina row and you still praise him ??! Wow- who pays you to be this corrupt ?
This liar is the danger to democracy. He should be in prison.
Would you expect a Democrat to say anything other than what he said? If a person looks at this objectively, without party bias, it's nowhere near the severity of what is described by candle wielding nancy and Biden in his speech. The protestors had no weapons, they were only shot and killed by security personnel. The capitol building is a shrine of sorts, but those who administer inside are corrupt, and often unfit to lead there. I was hoping this event would have humbled lawmakers and politicians, but it only made them more arrogant and bold in their own sense of self-importance. I don't condone or encourage riotous behaviour, but I also think we should be fair and sensible in how we examine the events. All this media coverage is political maneuvring and an attempt to ensure the narrative is exactly as the Democrats want it. A lot of browbeating of Trump as well and he has almost zero means to respond and answer to the accusations against him directly by President Biden. How is that fair? We are divided, and the media doesn't see the role it is playing in the whole thing.
We're All Black, Now.
The GOPs, like McConnell, Graham, McCarthy, Jordan, etc,
are like the slave-holders of the old south.
They use gerrymandering to corral freed slaves into districts
where their votes have next-to-no effect on those in power.
T.Rump is the slave-holder who wants to own all the land,
reap all the profits, and force other plantation owners to sell.
T.Rump's gullible hordes are the KKK using force and intimidation
to shape Democracy in their own image,
including the belief they have a right to cancel a presidential election.
If the slaves stand up to the plantation owners, i.e.,
demand that America is a country for all to enjoy,
the plantation owner will voice this in the Senate:
"If you're wondering why there's a Trump, it's moments like this."
Lindsey Graham.
"If you're wondering why there's a Robert E. Lee, it's moments like this",
the slave-holder said, when asked why a civil war is justified.
Did you ever watch a tree-trimmer cut-off the limb he's sitting on?
That's the GOP/T.Rump and followers attacking Democracy…
We already lost our democracy when networks like ABC and government personalities like Adam Sh1T use the resources to eliminate their political opposition like Adolf Hitler did.
Shifty Schiff spent three long years spreading lies and misleading the American people by relentlessly vouching for the dossier. The American people are still waiting to see the "smoking gun" evidence
How is he an elected official and he doesn’t know we don’t and have never lived in a democracy. Anchor person either fact check your guests on something so easy or go get a job that you actually intend to do. This isn’t journalism.

Preserving our democracy requires killing efforts by the Democrats and their brethren Elites in big labor big money big media big tech from perverting our system so that they stay in power in perpetuity. The BBB reconsiliaton bill in whole or as individual parts is the plan to buy votes and subjugate the electorate to accomplish it. They want power control financial advantage and narcissistic satisfaction and will do anything to get it. The more their plan is threatened the more desporate and devious their tactics will become. Wake up and speak up America before it's too late. Hope and pray for everyone to see the light and do the right things for everyone not just themselves. My opinion
The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan took place in the context of the Doha Agreement signed on February 29th 2020 by the Trump administration and the Taliban. The agreement made by the Trump administration and the Taliban also called for the release of 5,000 Taliban members who were in Afghan prisons. The Taliban prisoners were released in September 2020.
They fear President Trump because he already beat Dementia Joe.

Schiff is the biggest liar in Congress, who pushed "Trump-Russia collusion" lies for 4 years in his attempt to undo the 2016 election. People like him are the threat to our democracy.
Democracy…. Joke…… 850k non citizens in NY. allowed to vote… Just passed. Your kind of Democracy. Right?

Do you mean the Democracy where 112 people actually make all the laws and determine who gets all the money and who gets the healthcare and who gets help and who doesn't? Is that the American democracy that you're talkin about? Because that's the American democracy that you have right now!! Maybe it's about time to Simply say good riddance to that kind of democracy!! Are you afraid that if that democracy goes away, you might have to actually get a job and actually do something to make your money?
Adam is a patriot and a hero. Trump, on the other hand, a traitor.
Adam is a true patriot!
The little pile of Schiff has done more than anyone else to lose democracy with his political schiff show hoaxes. Let’s go Schifty!
This is the man that clamed the Steele dossier as a real document the document "Steele dossier" really was a fake document
This politician is guilty of making things worse like Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

How does this guy have a job after Russia collision hosx
This guy is the biggest idiot in the Congress. It's amazing how everybody is so concerned about January 6th but ignores all the BLM riots that went on for a year
The US is the Coup Master (CIA) Just ask the countries who have had their democratically elected leaders removed. Iran, Guatemala, Congo, Dominican Republic, S. Vietnam, Brazil, Chile, etc.
These traitorous dogs, are horny for the violence.

Those repubs who watch fox propaganda need to wake up and realize that they are missing out on Real News.
So ask Adam Schiff if he still has proof that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians LOL talk about a babbling idiot
Guess what as soon as the Republicans take over the House and Senate next year we're going to talk about the big lie we're going to talk about the parts that you don't want to talk about like changing the election laws two weeks before the presidential election which is the definition of election fraud
You're going to lose and you're going to lose big but your democracy will be fine
Schiff is the deepest of the deep state slime. Go away!
Bit rich him saying that when they are the one's
destroying it .🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🦕
Adam is a true patriot!🇺🇸
Adam ‘RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA’ Schiff 🇷🇺
Lying to legal citizens to get them to throw their support around their sham “voter reform”.
It’s ironic they talk about accepting defeat, yet are trying to federalize the elections after denying Trump won in 2016…🤔
Who would believe this layer ABC your the worst!
God bless president Joe Biden and God bless 🇺🇸!
This guy is a joke. I'm ashamed to say he's my Congressman.
What a weak minded person to threaten our nations continued existence over a petty trespassing idiots
.it has dissipated long time ago I guess..
this is the most despicable man in DC, or one of the most, this man likes to write fiction, doesn't sell any of his books but he truly was mad as a hornet, being promised the AG position by Hillary Clinton and when she lost, his life was over , this man lied and lied and lied, saying he had proof in documents of russian collusion and never produced it. Then watch ABC give him credibility by asking him to speak, people this is the worst, the worst, no more real news, just propaganda from those who want to bring forth programs that are meant to gradually put us into a government which is called global government, and equalize us, except for the very wealthy of course, and then we'll lose enough right so that Americans will not be the country it was for 200 years. What Biden has done in every way possible to try to pull all the nails that secure us is so visible to us on the Right and the rest of the brainwashed think he's not doing the best job but still trying. No he's not, this man chronically lies because he's not very bright, go and research as me and my group have, you'll see someone that is good at supporting others and lying for them, but has no integrity and is a hustler for money, he never produced anything positive in his yrs as a senator. And lies and lies about so many things, almost graduating at the bottom of his class, he is not a very bright person, he lost tons of money overseas, media never talked about it when he ran, they never talked about a lot of stuff.
America is a joke. Thank my lucky stars I don't live there
