The notion that we can't judge and justify actions on an individual basis, while considering the context surrounding, is peak Kantian intellectual laziness.

I think both movements are equally ridiculous but the difference between this and the BLM/Antifa "protests" is that Burn Loot Murder destroyed small business and big box stores. This is a purely political/government target.

Trump's most recent tweet has been deleted, and I think his account might be locked now.

Those images of Senators with those weird Dr No looking bag helmets are crazy. Some sort of emergency gas mask type things. Except it looks like they put a clear plastic bag over their head.

I don't condone destroying peoples' businesses but comparing that loss to trying to overthrow a government for Donald ####ing Trump is asinine.

Canada gets a shout out on CBS. First time since War of 1812 that the Capitol building has been breached.
They actually said "the british" but I don't care. I'm considering it a Canadian reference.
