Thanks to Capitol security
“On Feb. 13, 1861 a mob gathered outside the Capitol and tried to force its way in to disrupt the counting of the electoral certificates that would confirm Abraham Lincoln’s election three months earlier.”
The New York Times recalls: “In the days before the count, rumors had been spreading across the capital that armed militias might sweep in from Virginia and take over the Capitol or the entire District of Columbia. … Virginia’s former governor Henry Wise was openly calling for an invasion.”
General Scott was known as ‘Old Fuss & Feathers’
But General Winfield Scott, hero of the War with Mexico, at age 75 too infirm to ride a horse, “stationed soldiers around the Capitol and left no doubt what he would do to any violent miscreant who tried to come into the building to spoil the electoral count.”
Scott warned that any such intruder would “be lashed to the muzzle of a twelve-pounder and fired out the window of the Capitol.” He added, “I would manure the hills of Arlington with the fragments of his body.”
Blocked by the soldiers, the anti-Lincoln crowd called the southern-born general “Traitor.” Sound familiar? Inside the chamber, pro-southern Senators were livid.
“When a secessionist senator from Texas, Louis Wigfall, asked Scott if he would dare to arrest a senator for treason, Scott exploded: “No! I will blow him to hell!”
This went up on social media AFTER January 6, 2021:

That’s insurrection, Dave-dawg.
Your newly-found, self-righteous indignation over actual Conservatives freely exercising our God-given 1st Amendment right to peacefully assemble and seek redress of grievance from their government spiked both my irony meter and blood pressure.

dear georgeesson,
A Lefty lie can go halfway around the world while the truth is still trying to find her socks.
Repeat the lie often enough and it becomes the truth. There are many lies regarding the reportage of the 1/6 rally. Here’s a couple:
The first Big Lie was to blame the attack on President Donald Trump. Over and over, in every left-wing medium and stated repeatedly by Democrats, President Trump is blamed and might be impeached for “inciting” the riot in his speech just before it took place. Almost never is an actual Trump quote ever cited, because there is none.
Whenever there are competing points of view, I always go to the source material and transcript. President Trump said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. (bold and italics added).
Another Big Lie was the immediate labeling of the mob attack on the Capitol as an “insurrection.” Blaska, all hive-minded media and D卐M☭CRATs now refer to the event as an “insurrection,” a term defined by almost every dictionary as “an act or instance of revolting against CIVIL AUTHORITY or an established government.” As morally repulsive as the actions of the agent provocateur rent-a-mob were, they did not constitute a revolt against civil authority or an established government. Disrupting the work of legislators for a few hours, … as wrong as that was, (methinks, … meh),… does not constitute a “revolt.”
But what proves the left’s “insurrection” label is a lie is that Democrats and their willing accomplices and co-conspirators in the #GetTrump media never once labeled the left-wing riots of 2020, … which involved the destruction by fire and/or occupation and vandalizing of police stations, and the establishment of “autonomous zones,” which, by definition, revolted against “established governments”, … as an “insurrection.”
Further evidence is the real-time timeline. The glass breaking, forced entry, occupation and trashing of the Capitol began well before President Trump even spoke.
If we red-hatted Trump supporters were guilty of any insurrection, we’d make the worst insurrectionists ever. When the main body of the 500,000 law abiding, God and Country-loving Americans “stormed” the Capitol, when storming, they were courteous enough to politely walk inside the velvet ropes of the Rotunda.
Review it. Roll the tape Read the transcript.

Old Baldy,
So you don’t have any problems with Biden getting money from the Ukraine and China as his son cut him in on a part of the action. His son, Hunter, who has no experience in either oil or natural gas, and yet made a killing.
So we gotta ask ourselves, just how has Joe helped Hunter in the past:
Hunter got into Georgetown University, cost $55,000 a year, where only 15% of those who apply get in.
Go a law degree from Yale, cost $60,000 a year. Out of 3,626 applicants to the 2023 class only 262 were offered an education there. Graduated from Yale in 1996 and in 1997
got a job as an executive vice-president of MBNA Bank which was also known as a “massive donor” to Joe Biden.
Then was appointed by then President Clinton “as a director in the Department of Commerce focusing on e-commerce-policy issues.”
Then at 44 years old got a job with the Naval Reserves only to get kicked out 2 years later for testing positive for cocaine.
Then got a job on the board of directors at Burisma and started advising the Chinese on their oil and natural gas businesses.
Do you think all of that happened without Joe Biden pulling some strings?
Gee, got to wonder just how that happened. How does it happen that someone who has no actual experience in either field, cannot speak the languages and is a drugged out mess, hangs around with hookers, can get an $80,000 a month job on the board of directors at Burisma, the Ukrainian company and pockets huge sums of money from the Chinese?
