WASHINGTON— As it has been for nearly 16 months, longer than any time in the nation’s history, the U.S. Capitol is closed to most public visitors.The one-two punch of the coronavirus pandemic that shuttered the Capitol’s doors in the spring of 2020 and the deadly insurrection by then-President Donald Trump’s supporters on Jan. 6 has left the icon of American democracy unopen to all but a select few.As the rest of the nation emerges this July Fourth holiday from the pandemic for cookouts and fireworks that President Joe Biden is encouraging from the White House, the people’s house faces new threats of violence, virus variants and a more difficult moment.

"Deadly insurrection . . . ."
Do you think they call the Andrew Gillum dead male hooker incident a "deadly gay orgy"?

The only person who died in the "deadly insurrection by then-President Trump's supporters" was shot by a capital police officer. I would hardly call that an "insurrection."

Oh, it's another hit piece by the AssPress. Not a word about the antifa/blm thugs who championed the break-in. Not a word about Michael Leroy Byrd murdering Ashli Babbitt. Don't waste your time reading this garbage. Mascaro, you disgust.

Clearly this isn't the "People's House," it's "Nancy's House." I suspect that Republicans as well as Democrats are happy to exclude we riff raff so they can concentrate on lobbyists and big donors.

I respectfully point out that #5 missed the opportunity to further note a plain fact: the ACTUAL "riff - raff" is conducting a manufactured and unconstitutional seizure and OCCUPATION within the barbed-wire encampment that is the US capital at present. The rest of us are obliged, as American citizens, to make this unmistakably clear at every opportunity.
Don't expect the media to sympathize, or even to have a clue about whose benefit they are serving. Their "facts" are as flexible as their morality. They believe their own bubble-reputations, and suffer from some kind of herd dissociative disorder that convinces them they will be immune from the whirlwind they are raising.

Since we don't have a democracy, the Capitol is not the symbol of democracy. Perhaps we could say it is a symbol for our Republic. January 6 was not an insurrection, and it was not deadly... except to Ashli Babbit. If it was "the people's house" they would not have been arrested for merely walking through it. How can a so-called media outlet get everything wrong in the first paragraph?

It is a special building for members of the Capitol Hill insider Stock Trading Club. Others are allowed to look at it from a distance.

“Deadly insurrection” The Associated Press is nothing but a propaganda tool for the democrat party! I absolutely despise and abhor the mainstream media!
By the way, remember that the only death directly attributed to the break-in on January 6th was from an unnamed black cop who murdered an unarmed while woman in cold blood!

Listen to this to see what is going on in the Capitol. It is an hour+ and difficult to hear the guest but there is some good information. A poster said the Capitol is Nancy's. The guy affirms that and names other names. https://rumble.com/viyjuz-exclusive-johnheretohelp-exposed-deep-state-covid-jan-6-vaccines-stolen-ele.html

Nancy Pelosi owns the property now. Perhaps she'll move her vast ice cream chest to the Rotunda She won't last forever, and remember the Liberty Bell was also cracked.

The People's property is under occupation. The so called elected officials are staging an insurrection - a rebellion. They have already committed multiple cases of fraud to obtain their offices and power.
When will we be rid of these criminals?

This alone is reason to send everyone in Washington packing. Washington belongs to its citizens, not a bunch of 'privileged governing elites'. This isn't about safety. They are distancing themselves from the populace so they can do anything they want, and not have to deal with any protests. They are treating us like peons and peasants. Where are the Republicans? They should be demanding the capitol be reopened daily. Nobody is discussing this.
What are the odds if any leftist groups or leftist causes petitioned for a rally in DC, they would get it. This is all BS.

Seeing the Capitol building from the outside is good enough. If you really want to see what created our representative republic, go to the National Archive and see the founding documents.

Article mentions two capitol policemen who comitted suicide in the days after Jan 6. The fact that the Dems and press keep including these unfortunate deaths in the Jan 6 "death toll," makes me question whether this was two cases of Arkancide. (McAfee did not kill himself.)

Protection of lawmakers is dated; it needs to be cancelled now!
