Storming the Capitol

‘stop all the lunacy’



The cop killed during the Capitol riots was also a President Trump supporter — and his father hopes his death will now help stop “the lunacy” crippling the US.

The grieving dad said he avoided talking politics with his son, but hopes that the shock of his death will bring change.

“If any good comes out of my son’s death, I just hope that it stops all the lunacy that’s been going on in this country,” his father said, without elaborating.

“I’m supposed to die first. Not my son,” the 82-year-old dad said. “I’ll never get over this.”

I'm not going to look up anything because there's nothing to look up. Once again with your ears and head glued to conspiracy media they concocted another unfounded conspiracy theory and you swallowed it hook line and sinker.
Have I ever told you that I hate close-minded, ignorant people like you!

Just is case I have not, I just did.

Aa an "immigrant" fully committed to faighting socialism , did you cash your COVID relief check? You know the check sent to nearly all Americans and drawn on the United States Treasury courtesy of a social program whose very nature is as socialistic as it gets.
what my tax refund is a gift now?

Whatever you say, you patriotic lover of our founders' democratic ideals.


Doesn't matter to Trumpees. He was actively resisting the forces of their orange führer during their attack on Congress.
You are being disingenuous of you to equate all Trumpees (whomever that is) to the small fraction of violent rioters that "broke into the Capitol building and caused injury, death and destruction.

You are lowering your previously perceived standards to engage in this lunacy!

Cool conspiracy theory kiddos.
That's a fact Jack. Despite having a course in Scotland the Scottish government told him and cannot come to Scotland . No question they're fearful that he'll try to stay and possibly create diplomatic tensions with the U.S..
Changes to Pennsylvania Election Laws Followed by Last-Minute Maneuvers May Lead to Historic Mishaps - Tennessee Star

The Pennsylvania Legislature passed Act 77 in October 2019 to make voting “more convenient and more secure” according to Governor Tom (D).

Major features of the Act include:

  • extending voter registration from 30 days before an election to 15 days;
  • allowing mail-in voting without an excuse to vote mail-in versus in-person;
  • extending mail-in request (online and by mail) and submission up to 50 days before an election;
  • extending the mail-in and absentee submission deadline from 5:00 p.m. the Friday before the election to 8:00 p.m. the day of the election.
The legislation also approved the issuance of $90 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of updated voting equipment with a paper trail component for audit purposes.

The act came by bipartisan approval and was a modernization of Pennsylvania election code from 1939.

But the mail-in and absentee deadline extensions were not enough for Democrats.

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party sued their own – bringing a lawsuit against the Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Kathy Boockvar.

State Democrats sought a three-day extension for mail-in ballots, making valid all ballots postmarked by November 3 and received by November 6 at 5:00 p.m.

The case was submitted to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on September 8. According to Ballotpedia.org, “five judges on the court were elected in partisan elections as Democrats, one was elected as a Republican, and one was appointed by a Democratic governor.”

On September 18 a decision was handed down by the state high court. The 4-3 decision overruled the requirement for mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day – allowing them to be received up to three full days later.

The decision trampled the bipartisan legislation the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted just one year earlier according to their constitutional prerogative to enact statutes.

In addition to allowing for the mail ballot extension, the Keystone State’s high court nearly bastardized the need for a postmark, ruling that ballots “received within this period that lack a postmark or other proof of mailing, or for which the postmark or other proof of mailing is illegible, will be presumed to have been mailed by Election Day unless a preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that it was mailed after Election Day.”

Pennsylvania Republicans countered by filing a writ of certiorari (request for the court to review) with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), seeking to restrain the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision.

On October 28, SCOTUS rejected the injunction – the court was gridlocked 4-4, which meant that the state supreme court ruling stood.

However, in a dissenting opinion accompanying the high court’s ruling, it was noted that SCOTUS may take up the case again and that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s “handling of the important constitutional issue raised by this matter has needlessly created conditions that could lead to serious post-election problems.”

Prior to the November 3 Presidential Election, Commonwealth Secretary Boockvar issued guidance on mail-in ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day– the ballots were to be separated, secured and if counted, counted separately.

Counties throughout Pennsylvania were not complying with the Secretary’s guidance and the SCOTUS had to intervene on Friday, November 6.

On that day, the Court issued an mandating that all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties keep all ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on November 3 “in a secure, safe, sealed container separated from other voted ballots” and that “if counted, be counted separately.”

As of Wednesday, November 10 Pennsylvania’s 20 Electoral votes are still in question. This despite the state’s updated election statutes, investment in voting equipment and last-minute jockeying by Democrats to make elections more convenient and more secure.

As of Wednesday, November 10 Pennsylvania’s 20 Electoral College votes are still in question. This despite the state’s updated election statutes, investment in voting equipment and last-minute jockeying by Democrats to make elections more convenient and more secure.
Only 10,000 ballots were received after 11-3-20 in a state that Biden won by 81,000 votes. And the plaintiffs had an argument Ballots that arrived late but postmarked by the USPS on or before 11-3 (thanks to DeJoy) should not be just cause to throw out the ballots. During that time on time mail service was only running at about 60% . The courts agreed.

He likely didn't think his fellow Trump supporters would actually beat him in the head with a fire extinguisher until it was too late. Probably thought their Thin Blue Line flags actually meant something to them.
