Hard to believe that anybody (not necessarily here, other social media) can believe that if that group of people had run into AOC or Ilhan Omar that they wouldn’t have been swinging from that rope?
I expect that the public won’t be let back in to the any buildings in the Capitol campus for years, if ever. The fences going up around the Capitol will be permanent fixtures.
depends on which group–there were some that were just there to be there (so many of them posted videos on the internet, the real bright ones), some of the larger groups did eventually let a few media go they could’ve lynched but yes anyone they recognized would’ve been in big trouble.
isolated with one of the camo dudes would’ve been far worse
If I get banned, it was worth it.

Becoming a militia member began with opening a new Facebook account. I used my real name, but the only personal information I divulged on my profile was that I was married and that I had held jobs as a welder and a prison guard for the Corrections Corporation of America. A “Don’t Tread on Me” flag was my avatar. I found and “liked” militia pages: Three Percenter Nation, Patriotic Warriors, Arizona State Militia. Then Facebook generated endless suggestions of other militia pages, and I “liked” those too.

I know it’s the wife of the judge and not the judge himself, but aren’t Supreme Court justices supposed to at least make a token effort to appear politically impartial?
“If Mr. Trump wants to avoid a second impeachment, his best path would be to take personal responsibility and resign,” the Journal wrote, concluding, “It is best for everyone, himself included, if he goes away quietly.”
They are so dumb. Yes antifa is infiltrating you by dressing like what you think antifa dresses like. Would be cool if they mistaked one of their own dressing like that.
Anyone else kind of worried about the inauguration date? The trump cult almost got their commies and pedo cabal and tasted the power of the mob. Ive never believed a civil war was possible but after all this im not as sure.
A hearty lol at Trump ever resigning. The only reason he might have ever resigned was to get a Pence pardon, and that isn’t happening now.
Are you not reading the rest of this thread? Did you not see the military guys with zip ties? About a dozen other posters have concurred that this girl getting shot might have prevented a hostage situation.
Disappointing given you grew up in USSR. My father grew up in communist Poland, loves Trump and he was still disappointed and surprised they didn’t just kill 50-100 of the attackers. Maybe he wanted a pang of nostalgia.
No one is suggesting that the Washington DC city police shouldn’t have kept the crowd away so that no one was breaking into the capital building where secret service were protecting people from a mob that included people with guns and kidnapping paraphernalia.
I guess your continuing no-sidesing and telling people how to feel rub people wrong in here or maybe it’s just me. Less fucking around, more finding out imo.
In America, life is cheap. Regular folk get their kicks fantasizing about other people dying or getting killed. Of the top 10 TV shows in America I bet 5 are about murder. And the legal penalty for treason in this country is death, it’s been this way for hundreds of years, a lot of traitors died, it’s part of our culture and you have to respect the American posters here when we enjoy the entertainment aspect of dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Of traitors get what they signed up for when made the decision to be traitors and some of them are more terroristy traitors than others, but that’s for a trial to decide. I’d like a trial when possible, because the law is good to have plus it prolongs the suspense as I watch these guys (and girls!) get it.
Me disliking them is parallel to all of this, and enhances the experience, sure, but I primarily enjoy the legal process of traitors getting got. I am a scholar.
Lol, every red hat wearing pedestrian will be tazed on sight. Like 3 heads of police have already been fired. I don’t think there’s going to be much tolerance for trumpists.

If you are the secret service member that shot her, when you see the first enemy combatant breaching your last line of defense, you assume those “other means” have failed. How the fuck was he supposed to know the front line cops were just taking a selfie break? In his mind, they had been neutralized… which I guess they had been.
almost perfect other than he started with ‘going home’ and pivoted to a DC hotel plot line.
He’s really gonna hate this part of the story.
Let me amend my comment regarding inauguration. There will be no large protests or riots. Massive force will be applied early if people are getting out of line.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised by a bomb or shooting or whatever. I expect cops will be very actively monitoring hotels, airports, etc.

Depends on how many came out and “protested” Biden. Hope im worrying over nothing.
They better step up more then just in Washington tough. A lot of state houses should be on red alert too.
