Lester Holt On Processing The Attack On Our Democracy At The Capitol | NBC Nightly News
YES, Hi Everybody,
Faced with the dramatic and shameful events on Capitol , America must immediately end the office of D. Trump, who is entirely responsible for it.
Pursuant to the Twenty-Fifth Amendement, HE OUGHT TO BE DESTITUTED or IMPEACHED , TRIED AND CONDEMNED for HIS ILLEGAL ACTIONS (or CRIMES) AGAINST DEMOCRACY, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE USA PEOPLE.
Please stop this dangerous man ASAP !
For the History and reputation of the United States, we count on everyone and especially on every Honorable Senator doing his or her duty.
In a democracy, you have to accept the results of the elections. This is the rule of universal suffrage.
Another important rule, not insignificant one : All the culprits or presumed as such-Trump or whoever- are obliged to answer to the Justice .
Men and Women of Liberty, impartially let's try to " Fight for the Better World " by reading our eBook in KDP, Amazon. Friendly . Noel Tuy.
What did the liberal media have to say about antifa and blm just a few short months ago? Go to the one minute mark. https://youtu.be/Vf6aCoJD1y4
I cannot believe they let those Riders take it that far I hate the system even more because what does the capital do with the 460 million dollars they get for a small group of individuals who work there. I'm guessing the money went to a yacht so they can Sail Away way to Monaco so they can hide. The protesters in Beirut got worse punishment and the black lives matter got way worse punishment and some weren't even protesting they were just asleep and then police rioters busted in and shot up that innocent girl to death. But it's good to know that the world is seeing Caucasians attacking Caucasians. What next a nuclear Holocaust… what's after that an ice age. Please Laster halt make sense of this Fiasco?!?! Are we coming to a point of total annihilation in America… are the people in the Capitol building really doing positive things for the masses or are they mainly focused on We the People that small group of people who live supposedly matter more than everyone else's.??!?! Please make sense for all to understand not just a select few. It's bad enough all the people in this world don't work together. I just really hope we can fix America the one thing I really like about America is the fact that it's a teenager compared to other nations who have been established longer there's still a of potential for America and Americans not just We the People.
LATEST NEWS EVIDENCE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTACK JAN.9.2021 DEMOCRATS WORKING WORKING VERY HARD TO HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE U.S. WATCH THIS VIDEO ~ Y-T…"A TACTICAL DECEPTION" AND THE STING' HE HAS THE DATA, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE FRANTIC!

This is no different form 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. We will remember January 06, 2021, for the rest of our lives.
Journalism is dead. It's spent the last four years committing suicide. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I used to watch a "nightly news" every night till about a year ago. Just came here to confirm my hypothesis.
Let`s see the cabinet and congress DO SOMETHING NOW. We will remember when we vote again and they will all exit.
Lester holt you rock thanks so very much for your important usa capitol and elections comments.
Delbert jesus speaks only of love and forgiveness. Read your Bible get educated. Due to the pro trump protesters attacks on the usa capitol we all need god also jesus's miracles and blessings. Again I we say god bless everybody in the usa and worldwide. The god of peace and love be with everyone . Be blessed now and forever…
Wow
Listen, LESTER. What happened in the Capitol is nothing compared to what is coming! In JESUS NAME, DO NOT GET VACCINATED!!!
Lester, we love you.
Trumpp's politics has done great damage to the cause of democracy around the world
Such scenes should play out in the most powerful democracy, is surely bad news for democracies all over the world.Naturally it has caused shock among world capitals.
Some leaders of the world singled out Trump for harash criticism.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel placed the blame squarely on Trump.
" I deeply regret that since Nov. President Trump has not accepted that he lost. He stoked uncertainties… and that created an atmosphere that made the events of last night possible".
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the Capitol chaos " shows above all how fragile and vulnerable Western democracy is". " We saw that unfortunately the groud is fertile foe populism, despite the advances in sciences and industry,"
he said in a speech broadcast by state television.
Among other adversaries,China compared the violence to protests in Hong Kong.It is foreign ministery spokeswoman Hua Chunying said
" We also wish that US people can enjoy peace,stability and as soon as possible."
Konstantin Kosachyov, chairman of the Russian upper house said:
" The celebration of democracy is over: This is,alas, actually the bottom, I say this without a hint of gloating. America is no longer charting the course,and therefore has lost all its rights to set it. And especially to impose it on others."
America should get down to
control and undo the damages to America's prestige and standing in the world caused by this disgraceful course of events.
reforming the US electoral system so that its processes can't be questioned or Challanged in the manner Trump just did

This is not the AMERICAN DREAM at all!!
The process is impeachment now. I shouldn’t have to deal with this at all. It’s for Congress to be held accountable . Now is slowly drifting away with our democracy.
They all going to get Covid even those cops that didnt do anything but letting them in.
Sorry, but if you haven't seen this coming as a safety expert, then you better get retrained. For weeks, months, they had been working towards January 6 as the "day of truth," the moment when all previous failures would be erased and the Republican majority in the Senate would appoint Trump as president. For weeks Trump has been hinting at the efforts of his armed supporters to reinforce that. For months, those supporters have shown at the BLM demonstrations and riots that they also want to use real violence. For months, Trump and his supporters have shown that they live in an alternate reality and care about the laws of the country. This storm was foreseeable! Bush Jr. said about "this happens in a banana republic, not with us". I am afraid that he and many in the American establishment have not yet fallen penny that this is how a country becomes a banana republic. I hope they will finally really realize that!
These last days of Trump mark his entire term as President: An administration full of misconduct, corruption and illegal activity with no regard for the law and no fear of consequences. Failure to hold Trump accountable to the law would mark a profound politicization of the justice system, one that would call into question the legitimacy of the rule of law. The main characteristic of a morbid democracy is to allow crimes committed by the powerful to go unpunished. Compliance with laws is not voluntary, nor is enforcement of consequences based on who is breaking them. The Democrats' refusal to prosecute obvious crimes has not only politicized and undermined the rule of law in the past, but also caused their own political defeat in 2016, allowing those same Republicans to return more brutally than ever. That same mistake shouldn't happen again!
there will never be the worst scenario in 2020, because we have 2021.
Report true not one way. Where are your conscience, moral ?
You processing the attacks on our cities for the past few years, because you people seem to ignore all that. People died in them. Over 500 million dollars in damage. Shut up!
You don't see this in Mother Russia
PS. This is sarcasm in case you're too dumb to understand
Hey Trump loyalists, Did Don the conman be there with you at Capitol, you're fool & con by him, or you simply are really stupid and I can't fix stupid. You are doing all the dirty and criminal works for him and yet he hid in the White House watching TV to view his puppets carrying out his demands. And yet you are still funding his operation even the election over long ago. How pathetic it is what's a MAGA in full display for the world to laugh at. BTW, the vote casted told the truth, the recount told the truth, the courts told the truth the election is not stolen, not fraud but you stupid loyalists still believing in the lies from your dear leader, I give up can't reason with stupid. God helps us help you.
Person who can't accept defeat and harms the democracy in front of whole world should be shamed.
Seagulls Stop It Now
VP needs to start Article 25.
Note to FBI: If you're truly looking for offenders, the airlines have a paper trail of those flying into Washington. They had to book hotels.
Good reporting. Especially when not hiding truth no matter who it may expose
You cant compare a car acciednt close call to what happened yesterday.
It isnt even close.
And ptsd should not be used like that.
Those of us who are survivors of it have lived real trauma not to say others havent but just seeing the new is not a trauma.
History repeated in its tragic-comic ways: Years ago Reichtag was burned down along with the frigile German democracy by Hitler's ultra-right fascist agents whose slogan was Make Germany Strong Again!
Yes that's right it was an attackkkkkkkkkkk?????
Don't worry lester, I've been there
the reality star donald trump is an insurrectionist and traitor to the very ideals and prinicipals that have upheld this country around the world. we are trash right now with the rest of the world.
Live and prosper America! .. Dear ladies and gentlemen,! I wish you a Happy New Year! The New year is coming soon! A new era is coming! all the troubles are over! let the good mood never leave you! Good luck to you, good luck to us!, Good luck to everyone ….. I love you all …. With bows, Gennady. Ladies.Gentlemen !, sorry that my text is not on the topic! .. I am from Russia, I live in Siberia, I am 62 years old, I position myself as an inventor! My know-how, for obvious reasons, has not found popularity in Russia, in a country where the budget is 50% formed from fossil fuels, my invention is doomed to oblivion! I hope for caring, business people who are not indifferent to the environment and nature. My power take-off rotor (conveyor type) will allow you to get energy from the flow of water (river, sea current) on an industrial scale, using my submersible, damless power plants, will help you avoid burning: coal, gas, oil, atom … I'm looking for a sponsor …. investor (non-patent), my address: genapopovgena2018genady@yandex.ru
I don 't feel Trump is finished with us yet and pray Biden is inaugurated at an undisclosed location and time.
Trump told his followers that this is just the beginning. Some are willing to go to war for him.
When will they attack the republic ..
nah .. no. not at all..
nothing traumatic has happened
well that's until I (we) receive the two – thousand dollar stimulus check then , yes ! lol
God did it..He's mad…He's not through yet….Wait for it..He sent me back…Tell Boris..Not to get too high and mighty..guess whose next…
In thirteen days we will have a new president, are you sure we will make it to see that ?
Get real
Seek the kingdom of GOD and his righteousness. Trust in Jesus.
Nevermore PEACE..THEY SHOULD BE CALLING FIR TRUMP TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR INCITING THIS TERRORIST ACT!!!!
Nothing about yesterday was American but if we’re being truly honest nothing about America is American or what we think being American
should be
So, getting on an airplane, is harder than getting into the capital?
I want to see FESTER JOLT report honest news – where was he when our cities burned under BLMERS??
Pandemic hoax
@t
there is a lot of semi-conscious avoidance of the word coup ; even if you doubt that it was a coup–experts have different positions–the absence of at least debate in those terms is remarkable.
Too bad 5 people had to die?
