You are missing the point regarding the racism aspect here. Basically Bowser asked for trump supporters to be given the benefit of the doubt DESPITE all evidence to the contrary (that you previously ignored/discounted). That was NOT the case during the BLM protests. This administration actually sent law enforcement officers in to protests with all identifying insignias and names removed in order to avoid scrutiny. During trump's insurrection and attempted coup he withheld the DC national guard as well as refused to allow va and md troops to enter DC to help until pence and others intervened. The MD gov has implied when the secretary of the army finally gave approval he was doing so on his own after needing to bypass the silence coming from the president. Add to that the way these "protestors" turned home grown terrorists we treated by the police that were there. Read the takes from African American capital police officers and how they spent their day. Spoiler alert: physical assault and thrown n words were far more common than taking selfies with those terrorists.

Is the mayor of DC really who is in charge of securing these federal buildings?

No. But she’s a Democrat who Republicans can #Benghazi for their own supporters storming the US Capitol.
 
Pretty sure somehow this will end up being the fault of Obama and/or Clinton.

There are multiple entities/people who ate in charge of security of the federal buildings. Capitol Police. Metropolitan DC police. Federal Protective Service. Park Police.

Secret Service was also involved because the VP and VP-elect were in the Capitol.

ETA:
The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate also has responsibility for security of the Capitol Building.

Do you recite this shit to yourself before or after you buy your one way ticket to Argentina?
 
Yes, the rubes are dependent on the educated and elites that they despise for the pleasures and important things in their lives. It’s beyond time to stop subsidizing their bigotry and ignorance.
 
Gotta say, I might rather have the "less" violent and dopey trump insurrectionists get lifetime on the no fly list. Inhibits the type of jobs you can take and the locations you can jump on your shit cruises. Oh nose! How will they get to cancun?
 
 
Thinking the treatment of the traitorous terrorists didn't have anything to do with the color of their skin is like say college legacy admissions don't exist.
 
What the Dems should put through both Houses is cutting off all post-Jan.20 pay and benefits for Trump and his family.

"The Former Presidents Act (FPA; 3 U.S.C. §102 note) was enacted to "maintain the dignity" of the Office of the President. The act provides the former President—and his or her spouse—certain benefits to help him respond to post-presidency mail and speaking requests, among other informal public duties often required of a former President. [Prior to enactment of the FPA in 1958, former Presidents leaving office received no pension or other federal assistance. The FPA charges the General Services Administration (GSA) with providing former U.S. Presidents a pension, support staff, office support, travel funds, and mailing privileges."

He says he's rich. Let him pay.
