  1. This MAGA terrorist believes PPP is ok but otherwise big government is evil; another trumptard who can’t live without federal funding from liberal states like NY & CA. Soon he will be arrested and more taxpayer funds will be wasted on his pathetic loser life. Death penalty for this trump terrorist so we don’t have to hear his Q bullshit anymore.

  2. Really classy guy–a traitor, a hate monger, and all around scum bag. His family must be proud of the neanderthal. Too bad he didn’t stay in school past 6th grade–he might have learned something.

  3. Barnett had to go to the toilet and couldn’t find one.

    Human excrement is found smeared inside the Capitol Building.

    It wouldn’t be too hard to find out who’s it is. Other than it belongs to Republicans at this point.

  4. Actually I think it’s hilarious and mostly harmless what he did. All these outraged sickos calling for extreme punishments like the death penalty may need some help to regain their sanity.

    1. can they pay for the clean up? resent my tax dollars being used to fix what they damaged. also- can they bring back the 5 dead people? oh, I guess not. maybe pay the medical bills for the Capitol Police that were injured as well. Since you think it is “hilarious,” maybe you can just pay for it all- and the death benefits too. yeah, it’s really funny- not.

      1. I wonder who paid for the destroyed buildings, cars etc during the BLM riots. I guess the rioters have since pitched in a few hundred dollars apiece to help businesses rebuild.

  5. Papoose is a traitor to believe the nonsense his pie hole spews. Federal laws, restricted facilities, common sense… all ignored by the seditious mob spurred on by an small, orange loser.
