Wow! It makes one wonder?

The majority of the rioters arrested were going thru massive personal financial struggles.

Just have to wonder how they were able to travel to DC for Trump's rally and pay for meals, motels, food? Who paid their way? I'm guessing they saved up their money for months, just to show up on Jan. 6th? I know if it was money to feed my children or pay my bills? It would be an easy choice, family and bills! But then again, we are dealing with Trump lame followers!

The economy is the greatest in the history of mankind. No one has financial troubles since Trump has been president. Lying media. Don't be a rube.

Remember the rallies? Those folks were bussed in. They didn’t pay for transportation.

I haven’t been sued or declared bankruptcy but we all had lean times.
Most of those people are doing fairly well. Also consider that like most people who are still employed these days their savings are through the roof. This was the vacation the family didn’t take last year.

But remember that some filthy rich people paid for buses, etc.
