After a 19 yr old cosplayed with stage blood, the current fascist regime used it as an opportunity to try and declare martial law in the Nation's capital, having previously tampered with the online version of the Constitution.

Another example of how Trump will take advantage of any situation to see how far he can control the national guard…After all, if he decides to stay in the WH after his term, they are currently probably the only ones who could remove him physically. Don’t rely on DOJ-FBI, Capitol police, local police

Hey! Go easy on Big Balls. He's a sensitive guy. I guarantee this incident was completely unprovoked and certainly no one attacked him solely for his broccoli hair.

Pretty much every crime committed in a blue state, especially when committed by an immigrant or minority, is a new Reichstag Fire for the Trump administration. Pretext pretext pretext. Build the police state with pretexts.

Still following the Hitler's playbook even if the Trump administration is already controlling everything from the Supreme Court to the Federal reserve?
