The whole world is watching
a nation in total bedlam.
An insurrection encouraged
by the sitting president
of the United States!
Let that sink in for a minute.

It's absolutely disgusting what I'm seeing.
It's shameful what is happening
in our country! It has gone much, much
too far. Blood and violence is literally
 spilling out onto the streets.
This is an outrage!

The whole world is watching
American citizens storming Capitol Hill
literally wreaking havoc.
4 people dead, including a woman
was shot in the chest.
Yes, it has gone that far. 

Absolutely shameful 
what is happening in our country
It has gotten much, much too far
Blood has literally spilled out
onto the streets.
This is an outrage!

This is entirely your doing, President Trump.
You encouraged this chaos,
this full-throttle assault on our democracy!
And you're not stopping it?
Shame on you!
Shame on you!

That man is a stain on America's legacy. I am afraid, he will continue to spew in some form even after he is gone.

He's done. He shut the door permanently on his political future after the disgusting, unpatriotic stunt he pulled yesterday. He might even end up behind bars! What a shame.

He feels no shame in what he's caused. It is disgusting, and I cannot fathom how people can be so blind not to see the fault lies in the one they idolize. It's sickening.

I couldn't agree more, Jenna. I've never seen anything unpatriotic in my entire life. A disgusting outrage courtesy of hopelessly narcissistic Trump!
