Now that's funny.

 

Current discourse around this issue: right leaning individuals all shouting, "But when BLM does it, everything's fine, huh???", thus excusing and glossing over this domestic terror attack. Buried in that defense, they always mention that the election was phony, and that the American people deserve to defend their liberty, etc. So, while only the proudest cult members launched a terror attack yesterday, the rest of them support it, even the ones that try to seem reasonable and "both sides" everything.

F***ing hell.

 

Where are our local patriots? Gidion, that Saints fan, plenty others - where are they to comment on this?

They were on a Cleveland Brown Thread....(Gidi and SCS)....and Lyman asked everyone to go to a Politics thread.....good call.

 

Here's a good read......says he was just there to film history.......cough,cough, bullshit, bullshit, cough.....

W.Va. delegate, just sworn in, was among the mob storming U.S. Capitol

It says he was inside so that is at least a federal count of trespassing.

 

Interesting that one of the Capitol police was caught taking selfies with members of the protest.

 

And in the one video the police can be seen moving a barrier and stepping aside to let them through. WTF?

 

Here's the only place I can find it

It's all utterly disgusting honestly.

 

Duff.........is Police and Security at the Capital the responsibility of President Trump ???

I noticed he certainly delayed bringing in the National Guard.

 

Sorry but I'm not sure how that all works. Gotta be somebody here who knows the answer to that.

I know the DC Metro Police are under the authority of the mayor of Wash. D.C. Other than that, I have no idea which agency or person is in charge of what.

From Wikipedia:

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is a federal law enforcement agency in the United States charged with protecting the United States Congress within the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its territories. It answers to Congress, not the President of the United States, and is the only full-service federal law enforcement agency responsible to the legislative branch of the Federal Government of the United States.

A security breakdown that comprehensive can only come about via gross incompetence or collusion or both.

Utterly shocking sights.

 

Just stumbled across this using an interview clip from yesterday's riot. Used to watch Animaniacs as an adult since it had so many adult side jokes in it. This made my laugh until I cried.

 

I'm here. Be back tomorrow.

 

One of them believes it was ANTIFA that committed the violence yesterday.

 

So wait, I thought Antifa loved Nancy and took their orders from her? Keeping up with paint-fume-driven logic is a lot of work.

Believe it or not, Douche Mitt Romney got it right. No amount of congressional audits or committees or special/independent investigation is going to convince these people when Orange Julius keeps saying its rigged. They're never going to be convinced, as Trump losing 50+ court cases didn't convince them.

Tell them the truth. Their guy lost. A great stock market and talking tough/confidently didn't make up for countless lies, inaction, and fuck ups otherwise that if a shitlib had done it--we'd still be on the umpteenth investigation, like Benghazi (which ironically was republican senate's fault for gutting funding for ambassadors/protective staff, but nobody talks about that, they just started blaming Obama before he won reelection then hate moved to Hillary because she became the 2016 candidate).

I think more than ever now, these snowflakes need some safe space.

 

Man, taking me waaaay back with this one.
