You could say one good thing about the War of 1812.  We know what year it happened.  Other than that it was ugly.  As British Troops fought their way toward washington President Madison and top officials evacuated to Maryland…sleeping at people’s homes…. the night the Brits burned down the White House… which wasn’t even called the White House yet.  It was the Presidential mansion.   

That same night... the Brits set fire to the Capitol.   And it was the British.  Wasn’t French people dressed in British swag.  History has proven that sometimes… it is what it is.

For 206 years since the Brits sparked the fire … the Capitol Building has stood as the stone embodiment of national pride. Til a ragged mob cast aside the heavy wood doors… and their good judgement.

Because regardless of the dirty business of politics taking place under that rotunda… it’s the People’s building.  It doesn’t belong to James Angeli… a Q-Anon leader photographed in the house chamber with a megaphone yestereay.  Confirmed by his family it was him.

The Capitol doesn’t belong Nich Ochs…. the founder of the Proud Boys Hawaii Chapter…. who tweeted Hello from the capitol … as smoked a cigarette.

Nor Bigo Barnett… the leader of an Gravette, Arkansas Gun Rights Group… who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk and stole her paperwork… and bragged about it.

These were not Trump supporters.  These were Trump diehards … tried and true…breaching the US capitol…  

Disproven social media posts  say otherwise… but sometimes… it is what it is.
