Thank God this jackass is going to be out of the Senate soon.

Well, if Trump chooses to pardon the reflecting pool vandals so be it; it's his right and if it's o.k. for Joe Biden to pardon his son and Anthony Fauci then it's o.k. for Trump to pardon people who trespassed in the Capitol or even scuffled with the cops when they were pushing and shoving them.

But it is the duty of any law enforcement officer to, oh, I don't know....enforce the law. If Trump then pardons these people it's his prerogative.

But there is a huge difference here. The J6 thing was a protest over a legitimate grievance - the perceived theft of the entire government - and while it may have gotten out of hand we do know there were agent provocateurs from the friggin' government in the crowd trying to egg them on. We know this for a fact. And we also know most of the people charged were in no way violent. The majority of them were just present on the scene - and some of them weren't even present on the scene.

Tillis knows all this. The reflecting pool vandals went to the pool with malice aforethought to vandalize it solely because President Trump had fixed a longstanding problem, cleaning up what had essentially become a filthy stagnant puddle. They went there purposely to destroy the work which was done on behalf of all Americans to beautiful the city - no partisan reason at all.

What would Tillis say to the vandals who were attacking priceless paintings in not so long ago days? Would he be equally blaise' about it if vandals broke into the Louvre and spray painted a penis on the Mona Lisa (assuming coy little Mona is at the Louvre')?

Granted the reflecting pool is no work of great art but the action is more or less the same. It is as similar to a politically-charged riot as you can find.

And I notice Tillis wasn't much concerned about Black Lives Matter riots, or when Antifa rioted, or when labor union thugs rioted and seized the Wisconsin state capitol a few years before J6; he shrugged that off then. But he saw it as an insurrection, a "threat to democracy" when the MAGA crowd lost their cool.

Why? Because the J6 crowd represented the very heart and core of the country, not the lunatic fringe, and it showed guys like Tillis that the base of the Party had grown wise to them. They needed to severely punish the people at the Capitol that day because if they did not the public might get too uppity.

Ferguson Mo. burning didn't bother Tillis but a few people invading the Capitol did. And defacing the public property in the Mall in D.C. doesn't bother him either. But God help you if you inconvenience HIM!

Tillis isn't running for re-election and we are so well served to be shed of such a huge feminine hygiene product and the bag he came in.
