So far all you've contributed to the thread is whining about the media, dismissing Black Lives Matter through some nonsense false equivalence, and whining about people making connections to the UCP or Canadian neo-nazis.

Maybe it's time to find another thread or contribute something even vaguely worthwhile yourself. Try it out. Might be fun.

No surprises. That dude is like the official Matt Wolf representative on CP. Focus on the trees, not on the forest.

Yeah they just had a phone interview with a Democratic Rep on MSNBC a few minutes ago and she was really rattled...very much on the verge of tears when mentioning her kids at home. She was scared.

This whole thing is surreal.

Expect no white people to be harmed in the making of these riots.

Honest question, what do posts regarding Kenney and his cabinet have anything to do with the DC protests that's occurring now?

Probably the pictures of Kenney and his crew wearing MAGA hats and otherwise showing support for Trump, seemed obvious to me...

What do posts about Kenney and his cabinet, pictured with MAGA hat wearing CHUDS, have to do with MAGA hat wearing CHUDS that are storming government buildings have to do with each other?

Oh I dunno, I think I can draw some conclusions.

The biggest reason you have to remove Trump now is he's not going to start mellowing and sane-ing out as we get closer to the 20th, he's going to get more desperate and unhinged and at some point I expect he straight up tells his supporters to start an insurrection rather than egging them on.

I'm going to indulge my hitherto unknown conspiracy theorist side for a moment, based mostly on what I've been reading and watching all day.

A lot of people have said since the election, that they think Trump won't see out his presidency, that something happens, and Pence finishes out the term, no matter how long or short a term might be left.

So, given that Trump was allegedly planning to take off for Scotland the day prior to the inauguration, and given that his last address to the nation saying the protestors were loved was allegedly pre-recorded (read that), is it too far out there (yeah yeah lol) to wonder if he's already fled the country, under cover of this insanity?

Go ahead, tear me apart, LOL. Like I said, with all the things happening that I am shocked (after a fashion) to see happening, I don't know that it's all that far out of the realm of possibility - he's got to know they're again drawing up articles of impeachment right this minute, and FFS, is there really anything we can put past Trump right now?

The people in charge of things here at home support the man who directly influenced the events unfolding today. This is a significant event on the world stage and since this is still a Calgary forum, we get to discuss it from our local perspective as well.

Just so there is no ambiguity here. I'm not creating an equivalency between BLM and this. My point was that when you justify violence and destruction of property in the name of some greater good it normalizes that behaviour. This is why rule of law is important, it shouldn't matter why you riot, we don't riot in a civilized society, we protest, peacefully and use discourse. The US has normalized fear, intimidation, destruction of property and violence as a means of political protest. That is a problem for everyone.
