Trump's speech said the opposite of what fake news is saying, he said 'be peaceful'. BLM guy caught setting fires. Buffalo guy is a crazy hippy, not a MAGA at ALL. The guards are on film opening the gates and ushering in crowds. Oh and Dem son-of-a judge w/ his conf. flag buddy

God Bless our American heroes....

You meant *up coming riots* definitely not a protest— it’s an insurrection by a racist mob looking to murder government officials with the help of government officials turn US traitors..

Trot them out and let's get it done. I refuse to live in fear of domestic Terrorist. Or... even better. Let us unite and move forward.

i have 100% confidence in our military to protect biden and all those participating in this honor. and i pray that none of our military there are harmed or killed for defending America. all those that would do harm should be executed & their cold dead bodies tossed in dumpsters

Meanwhile all last summer.....

I was worried about IEDs on train tracks. I'm glad they changed plans for the President-elect's travel to DC.
