Congressman Benjamin Thompson wants TSA to place any American who participated in the riot at the Capitol last week to be placed on the no-fly list. He issued the following statement:
Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement urging the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to use their authorities to add the violent perpetrators involved in the domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday to the No-Fly List and keep them off planes:
“Given the heinous domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday, I am urging the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to use their authorities to add the names of all identified individuals involved in the attack to the federal No-Fly List and keep them off planes. This should include all individuals identified as having entered the Capitol building—an intrusion which threatened the safety of Members of Congress and staff and served as an attack on our Nation.
“We already saw reports of ‘unruly mobs’ in air on the way to Washington, D.C. It does not take much imagination to envision how they might act out on their way out of D.C. if allowed to fly unfettered. This is an action that TSA and the FBI, by law, are able to take but, to my knowledge, have not yet taken. Alleged perpetrators of a domestic terrorist attack who have been identified by the FBI should be held accountable.”
Homeland Security apparently is already doing so if this video is any indication:

What a douche.
If you terrorize America you get treated like a terrorist.
OK Bennie, if we are going to put them on the no fly list then put all those who participated in the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots on the list also. You can’t have it both ways. What is fair for one group is fair for the others.
How about the ones that participated in the riots and city shutdowns all summer long? And the Antifa thugs? I'm sure Bennie will also be calling for them to be banned from the skies forever, as well. /s
Good! These people are domestic terrorists.
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Ooh, but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh they're so weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh

Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

Yep, get ready for weaponization of the federal government against Republicans, Trump supporters, i.e. anyone that disagrees with leftist marxism.
On the last day of his presidency, Bill Clinton, at Rep Jerry Nador’s request, pardoned Susan Rosenberg. Now ole Susan wasn’t that bad, not that bad at all. Ole Susan, active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization, didn’t do anything much besides plant a bomb outside the US Senate chamber with the goal of assassinating Republican senators. Oh and she was just an accomplice in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard, supported the Weather Underground and other “revolutionary” organizations.
And what is good ole pardoned by Bill Clinton, Susan Rosenberg doing today? She’s now a board member of Black Lives Matter Network, Inc.
Republicans are the dumbest fools, always a step or two behind Democrats in the chess game of politics. All of this selective outrage, even from Republicans like Dan Crenshaw, over what happened at the capital. As if this even fractionally compares to the evil being perpetrated by Leftist Marxist Democrats.
Oh but it affected them this time, on that day, January 6th. And well, they, the Senators and Representatives, are so, so, so special. So much more special than the mother that watched her innocent child die from a stray bullet in Atlanta, fired from the gun of a “mostly peaceful protester.”
According to Leftist Marxist Democrats, and the Rhino’s that have now joined them, what happened on January 6th was far, far worse than the private owners that saw their properties burned to the ground, owners with businesses looted and ruined (the victims of those “mostly peaceful protesters,” likely disagree).
With provocation, death and destruction not seen in our lifetimes, not even in the 1960’s, Leftist Marxist Democrats have been poking Republicans in the eye, begging for a low intellect Tim McVeigh, Dylon Roof event for almost 4 years now. And January 6th, 2021, finally yielded the crop Leftist Marxist Democrats had been planting and trying to harvest, since January 20, 2017.
Hey, Bennie, let's play fair. Anyone who was arrested for terror incidents (smashing windows of private businesses during riots in 2020) will be on the "no fly" list too.
Same should go for the rioters in Portland and elsewhere, right?
I'm for it. Screw 'em.
7:07 Of course Bennie can have it both ways by punishing conservative but not liberals. That is the DNA of democrats.
"Good for thee, but not for me."
Look at the posters here that think democrats get arrested for BLM and antifa riots.
Proof positive crying and whining aren’t exclusive to liberals. Flying isn’t a right, especially when trying to flee the scene of a crime you committed. Cry me a river. Put rioters and anyone with a federal criminal record on there too. You break the law, there should be penalties. This isn’t grade school, and “but they didn’t get detention when they did it!” has never been a real world defense. What a baby.
I suppose he would be in favor of the same treatment for those who took over the Seattle Police Precinct for such an extended period of time
If any rioter broke into a federal building last summer, they should also be on the no-fly list. As should any of the fascists that entered the US Capitol last week. It appears that some of them wanted to kill the lawmakers, as shown in video and audio and photos. Since it would
be hard to separate who is who, send anyone who went in the Capitol to Gitmo. They deserve to live with the Taliban terrorists.
Will this event mirror the 1923 Munich riot led by Hitler or will it be a turning point away from wacky conspiracy, violent rhetoric, and instilling fear for political gain? .
@7:30 Simmer down, Guv Barnett.
And the whataboutism here is astonishing. Y’all simply can’t denounce what happened because you’re so wrapped up in thinking BLM is much worse.
Benny, Benny, Benny....slumlord that made millions off the backs of some the poorest people in the state. He's a major douche bag.
Good job Bennie. There are numerous videos coming in of Trumps Terrorists giving hell to flight attendants and pilots on their way to their attack on our government. These are people who have been radicalized and they are not of sane mind. I’d like to see them charged with felonies that take away their guns and bombs as well.
@7:52
You must be a special kind of stupid to think that protesting against institutionally racist police brutality is the same as committing act of terros and insurrection against the sacred halls of Congress in our Nation’s Capitol.
I hope President Biden makes us safe by rounding up all the domestic terrorists and isolating them in camps and separates their children in cages just like Trump did to immigrant children.
Bennie, you must have bumped yo head crawling out from under yo desk, yo?
Good to see Bennie earning his pay.
Word around the Dept. of Defense from the incoming Sec. of Defense is that any active duty armed forces who participated will face court martial. Any federal contractor who participated will lose their GSA clearance.
Eve you had me take the Forbidden Fruit from the tree!
You knew I was a snake!
I can go on and on, no matter how influenced I am, and how ignorant I am, in no way you could convince me to go anywhere near the Capital on that day.
I don’t think they teach cause, effect and consequences in the 3rd grade! Hold up my boss is calling, I got to go to work. Keep America Great!
Hey guys, I know we like playing the "Whatabout?!" game but we do understand the differences between private businesses and the security of the United States Government, correct?
Welcome to Socialism.
I guess they should’ve practiced a little critical thinking before they developed a cult around cryptic anonymous messages posted on a notorious anime image board.
what a bunch of infantile retards
funny that kingfish is remaining silent on Q anon. Didn’t you comment more than once that you follow Q anon, Kingfish?
A protest because cops shot unarmed black men and women is not the same as trying to overthrow the government.
Granted saying anyone who participated should be on a no fly list is a bit much. The ones who willfully enter the capitol should all be charged with unlawful entry at a minimum. As for the ring leaders there should be more serious consequences and maybe being included on a "no fly" list is one of them.
This was an Insurrection not a protest.
When the pendulum swings again, and swing it will, the liberals and socialists are going to be extremely sorry.
Hey, 8:56, as has been pointed out, the Portland Antifa mobs attacked the United States Courthouse for months on end, burning things, breaking things, and beating Federal and local cops and even blinding them with high powered lasers. There have been Federal buildings vandalized nationwide. ALL of DC is Federal jurisdiction.
But, hey, "there is a difference." They are Leftists and Democrats, so it's OK. Double standard as always.
I don't pay any attention to Mississippi's current worst racist.
He knows how to stir the pot. He's a pro. And yall took the bait.
@8:43, you must be a special kind of stupid if you think smashing windows, destroying property, taking over city blocks, assaulting and murdering people is simply "protesting against institutionally racist police brutality". Enjoy your kool-aid and smile. Ignorance and stupidity is blissful for some.
Why should I write about Q Anon? I've read some of it over the years as I do other conspiracy theories. Don't take them seriously and often find them funny.
One thing I've noticed about the people pushing conspiracy theories. They rarely reject any of them.
As I watched it unfold, I wondered why the police enforcement went soft.
I won't write what I think should have happened to them as they assaulted the capital.
Fuck their ability to fly.
All you weak "but, what abouts" are the problem. Wrong is wrong. It's the failure to stand up to wrong at its first appearance that's destroyed the Republican Party.
Bennie is also responsible for this snow because of global cooling. You read it here first.
9:14. when is the last time a Republican won the popular vote for president? What demographic voted overwhelmingly for Biden? for Trump?
White people aren’t going to have an outright majority by 2040...less than 20 years away..
When you look at demographics, it’s easy to see that the country is moving towards the left. Biden will likely be the last moderate D in the presidency. Enjoy it before President AOC or President Omar take office....
We all see through this bs. Protests done by Democrats are fine but protests against Democrats are not. We all remember the “peaceful protests”.
9:21 and those people were arrested and charged, were they not?
I understand this victimhood you guys would like to experience, but it's just not that. CHAZ and any iteration of it was stupid. Burning a Federal courthouse is stupid. Raiding the US Capitol where the direct line of succession is with zip ties and Gallows outside is different. No telling what was taken data wise and no telling who saw what. Sorry if you don't understand.
But what about... BENGHHHHAZZZIIIIIII
But what about... ANTIFAAAAAAAA...
But what about... HER EMAAAILLLSSS...
The tu quoque fallacies in here are stunning. Man, if you folks can't get behind banning terrorists from flying, I'm really not sure what to tell you.
The logic is essentially "We can't ban these terrorists... because we didn't ban those terrorists" -- when banning ANY terrorists from flying is a good thing.
Welcome to Socialism.
"/ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/ noun: socialism
a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."
Huh? What does flying have to do with that?
@8:43, no, you must be a special kind of stupid to think that burning buildings NOT owned by the racist policeman,
looting and rioting businesses NOT owned by the racist policeman, and
killing an innocent child, that was NOT the racist policeman,
is okay i.e. not worse than what happened on January 6th.
Maybe you need a dead child killed rioters to get it, but I pray that you don’t ever have to learn it that way.
Sacred halls of Congress, with all of the corruption that’s occurred therein; what an elitist chicken shit thing to say.
10:02 while doesn't the left condemn any of the actions of their people? They chastise the hell out of Republicans but refuse to acknowledge the actions of their own supporters.
He knows how to stir the pot. He's a pro. And yall took the bait.
Yup, KF is a pro. Looks like you're hooked in the gill.
So are you saying the Congressman's comments are not newsworthy?
I'm all for appropriate punishment for those that took part in the protests that went way too far. I'm also for doing the same thing to everyone that destroyed, attacked, or occupied any other governmental property during the BLM protests too. You must hold people accountable for unacceptable behavior no matter what their reasons are. It shouldn't matter if it is BLM or QAnon.
10:02, we DO understand your cognitive dissonance.
Let's recall how many police precincts were raided. How many police vehicles and radios were burned or stolen. Any "data" concerns there? No, double standard. BTW, NO Congressperson was supposed to have ANY classified data out in an insecure area, much less abandon it. They've been trained, and signed written acknowledgements to the effect. But, natch, just like Hillary's personal basement server, the rules don't apply to Dems I guess. A protestor wrote "We will not surrender" on a note pad. He gets a Federal felony.
Exactly HOW MANY arrests were made in Portland? Out of a year, I see about 52, less than from one day so far in DC. And, guess what? NPR:
Review Of Federal Charges In Portland Unrest Shows Most Are Misdemeanors September 5, 20207:00 AM ET. Then, "91% of Portland Arrests NOT being Prosecuted" Yep. Dem Double Standards.
Oh, did any BLM/antifa protests include mock gallows?? Yeah. Has that been a theme since the 1700s? Yeah. Political theater.
CHAZ had like five murders.
The Capitol Hill riot had one cop killed (an outrage, but a murder case is well underway) and ONE PROTESTOR murdered (uh, no rush on that, let's keep the shooter's name undisclosed, we'll wink wink handle it).
The difference is a Democrat can't see a dozen murders, billions in property damage, and Federal state and local government buildings trashed and think it's wrong.
But, a few pea brains break a window and it's a 'sacred' place.
Only if your Religion is Dem Socialist Politics. We DO understand the double standards.
Does this mean that Trent Kelly should be stripped of his commission? Ground the likes of CHS, Guest, Palazzo, and Fitch? Sold!
@9:14
The Overton Window always pushes left and never right. GW and Trump would be considered pinkos compared to JFK by any conservative in the 1960s.
it is doubtful that the Republican party will every have power again. And Rush Limbaugh wont see another Christmas.
Thompson should have been the very first name every put on a NO FLY list. If there had been such a list 28 years ago, he should have headed up. He's Un-American, an extremely unhappy racist and bounces off the walls like any other psychological misfit.
He also ought not be trusted around accelerants...even propane used in frying fish.
If a cannon could be brought onto a plane, he's damned sure a loose one.
Does this mean that Bennie had an independent thought? I guess it could happen.
He 9:07. The woman shot in DC was unarmed. I guess she doesn’t have a voice because she was a trumptard?
Y'all better be nice to Bennie, as he's the only one of our DC delegation that matters.
Q cultists should be marked just like Nazis were in the film “Inglorious Basterds” because when Trump is gone they will try to blend in and pretend that they weren’t a bunch of insane terrorists. But future neighbors, employers, educators, all deserve to know who these people really are. If they don’t like it then maybe Putin will welcome them to Russia.
Congressman Thompson didn’t pawn his pickup truck to go to Washington DC. He was voted to Congress just like many Mississippians before him. Our Congressmen aren’t dumb! The ones that walked in uninvited are!!!
Now if you really want to help! The protesters they went into the Capitol will need monies for their legal expenses and monies to get their trucks out of pawn.
Be careful what you wish for and rejoice in, you may get it. When the wealth tax comes in to being the shit will really hit the fan. That nest egg that brings you so much security will gradually fade away. That's what happens when you vote in the form of government that requires shooting to get out of.
It is certainly true that any criminal misconduct engaged in by protestors should be handled appropriately. Often, that means criminal prosecution. Hopefully, everyone agrees that concept should apply across the political spectrum whether right, left, center, whatever.
However, let's not mistake the substantial difference in acts of misconduct, even criminal misconduct, with storming the US Capitol. This is especially true when it is occupied by both chambers of Congress, the VP, Speaker of the House, etc. (#2-X in the line of succession for the Presidency) and undertaking a basic function of our Constitution (counting electoral votes for President).
There simply is a vast difference between a protest gone out of control and attempts to overthrow Congress. Both should be subject to prosecution as the circumstances warrant, again regardless of politics of the participants. However, one is significantly more serious than another. Attempts to make it sound like BLM or other protests are the same thing as seeking to overthrow our nation's power structure through physical storming of the US Capitol completely miss the point. One is criminal, plain and simple, and should be treated as such. The other is treason which warrants a starkly more robust response.
What did Bennie do to any of you all? There are some mean words being thrown out.
As one of his constituents, I hate that he has not done more for MS. But let's be real, how much will the powers that be allow him to do for MS, when our own governors and state legislatures haven't done much for the state either. Politicians are pretty much all the same. They are only looking out for themselves and their rich "friends".
I have a few relatives who have been repeating the most ludicrous conspiracies since 2017 that I have ever heard. And I have heard of David Icke. It would be funny if they weren’t also obsessed with stockpiling weapons.
Probably need to ban Bennie from the all you can eat buffets. He's most likely a drain on his taxpayer funded heath insurance.
Her name was Ashli Babbit!
Just to be fair, let’s also place everyone who participated in a BLM rally, burned down a city or looted a store on the no fly list too
@1:24 ...and she was committing a felony.
Maybe do the same for anyone involved in Portland, Chicago, Seattle, or St Paul. But I doubt it, they were all peaceful!!
I thought her name was Charlie
@12:04
I’m a millennial so I invested in blockchain long ago. Good luck taxing my anonymous currency! You geezers probably don’t even know AES from PGP! lol
don’t you have some nigerian real estate to invest in?
I suggest if you go to a protest and it’s beginning to turn ugly. Have sense enough to leave! If you don’t, it could prove costly for you and your families. However, if you have the money and time to protest peacefully have at it.
I’ll be in the comfort of my home watching it on my high definition smart TV, drinking beer, I mean tea!
As for Congressman Thompson, as you saw on TV, he didn’t run nor did he flinch.
Let our elected officials do their jobs and you, go to work at your chosen profession.
Let’s just love and continue to help each other, that’s what makes America Great, not hate!
Her title is Darwin Award Winner!
Not that anyone who committed crimes in Portland or elsewhere should be free from consequences. To the extent any of them committed a crime, they should be punished. But they did not physically attack the US Capitol while Congress was in session. It is not "fair" to call what they did the same as attacking Congress. Anyone who seems to think the other protestors should be treated the same as people who literally attacked Congress, which essentially is an act of war against the US, cannot be taken seriously. The two are very, very different.
To all of you claiming that the treatment of the Civil Rights protestors back in 2020 is unfair compared to the treatment of the insurrectionist capitol mob in 2021 need to grow up accept that LIFE ISN’T FAIR!
the ones committing treason are the politicians voting yes on a bill that is thousands of pages long without ever reading or discussing it. those "storming" the capital building just doing what is necessary. isn't that what democracy looks like? at least, that's what i heard all year last year while buildings were being burned to ground, people being assaulted and private property looted and vandalized.
Flying is like driving. It is a privilege not a Right!
Music to my ears. When you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
If they hate America during a Biden Admin, I won’t object to them moving elsewhere (just not by airplane, hahahahahaha!!)
Kingfish Be Sayin, "Why should I write about Q Anon? I've read some of it over the years as I do other conspiracy theories. Don't take them seriously and often find them funny."
Well, lemme ask...You don't take Stokes seriously, often find him funny, but you bust a gut to cover his mad self every chance you get. How are we to understand this twistery?
Hey bennie. Could you first find all the people that took over 6 blocks for weeks in Seattle remember chaz and then chop?
I've been laughing out loud when I hear the local Jackson reporters (following their national network's directives) on how to report current events.
Good lord, they are referring to the events of last week as . . . "The Deadly Siege of the Capitol" .
These idiots don't even know the definition of the word (siege).
January 11, 2021 at 8:48 AM; do you mean the very same cages that your boys, biden and obama, built to house illegal aliens, not immigrants, sneaking into our country illegally? there is a difference between illegal aliens and immigrants. immigrants come here legally, illegal aliens don't. surely, you can't be that dense? by now, anybody with 3 brain cells to bounce off each other knows it wasn't Trump that built the cages. he continued the practice your boys started. and thanks to democrats, the Flores Act, and the 5th circuit, it was the law that children can be separated cause they could only be held for a certain amount of time. you probably don't even know that on multiple occasions, leftist news organizations were busted trying to blame the big-mean Trump for putting kids in cages by using photos taken of kids in cages before Trump was ever in office. but thanks for playing anyway.
I'll take Amtrak Bennie and you can't stop me!!!
The only funny part of this national tragedy is that both Trump and his supporters are total losers and both are acting like petulant children!
I don't think either will ever recover!
Bennie is just an old fashioned racist from Bolton. I have had several dealings with him in the past. He doesn’t hide the fact that he does not like the white man on any level.
I will tell you what I do know 2:24. The Democrats never met a tax they didn't like, that would include Bennie Thompson. I know you youngsters pride yourself on staying informed, but your post doesn't lead me to believe you do. The reason I think that is, the U.S. Congress has already begun to study ways to get their greedy little hands on your cryptocurrency. I don't understand why you think you will be able to hide from the U.S. tax system, when even the financial accounts in Switzerland are no longer safe from the U.S. tax system. There are those in the Democratic party that have said repeatedly that they intend to impose a wealth tax. I have no reason to doubt them. I read where bitcoin took a %12 to %20 loss on its market value. You may not have that safety net.
Hey Bennie get yo head out! You’ve been there too long. What have you ever done for your district. Does Bolton have a traffic light yet!
Y’all better behave, don’t make Tater call out the National Guard.
*for participating in a Constitutionally protected legislative process*
See where this is going? They want you fired, removed from society, broke and eventually dead....and they think it’s funny. Due to uninvestigated fraud, they now have all branches. Good job.
Wednesday proved that the GOP is just as protective of its mobs of mentally deficient as the Democrats. The GOP goes so far as to insist that the worst of the mob on Wednesday were actually Democratic infiltrators.
You have to be about half autosadistic to fly these days anyway, list or no list. If it ain't 2000 + miles away, I'm driving.
Being genuinely concerned that two US Senators would commandeer a jet and fly it into something is hilarious!!! Come on, man. This is ridiculous.
