Good article about the failed Capitol police response and the need for heads to roll.

Oh wow, BuckerLarlson posts here:


Quote:
Political violence begets political violence. That is an iron law. We have to be against that, no matter who commits the violence or under what pretext, no matter how many self-interested demagogues assure us the violence is justified or necessary. We have a duty to oppose all of this, not simply because political violence kills other people's children, but because in the end it doesn't work.


The second thing to consider, and it's related to the first, is why Ashli Babbit went to the rally in the first place. She bore no resemblance to the angry children we have seen wrecking our cities in recent months -- pasty, entitled nihilists dressed in black, setting fires and spray painting slogans on statues. She looked pretty much like everyone else.


Millions of Americans sincerely believe the last election was fake. You can dismiss them as crazy. You can call them conspiracy theorists. You can kick them off Twitter. But that won't change their minds. Rather than trying to change their minds, to convince them and reassure them that the system is real, that democracy works -- which you would do if you cared about the country or the people who live here -- our new leaders will try to silence them.
What happened Wednesday will be used by the people taking power to justify stripping you of the rights you were born with as an American: Your right to speak without being censored, your right to assemble, to not be spied upon, to make a living, and to defend your family.

Trump doesn’t give a ****. He’d see her as a casualty of war.

Right, because there was so much Antifa storming the American Capitol today.

Maybe you couldn’t see them hiding behind the Confederate flags.

I’m far too exhausted to be sarcastic.

Unfortunately this is the narrative that is being played now on Twitter and other channels. ANTIFA infiltrators turning their maga hats backward sfo “identify”. Paid actors etc.

Will never learn. Will never give up

Sometimes things are pretty much what they appear to be based on watching exactly what is happening, and post fact bull ####ting and hand waving is just that

I have a Texan MAGA Trumpet still on my friends list.

They seriously believe Antifa/BLM are behind the insurrection making Trump supporters look bad

Fuming mad, out of his mind, and throwing a giant hissy fit? Yup, sounds like typical behavior from Trump. Dude has been acting like that at least every other day since 2016.

And for the record, the tattoo in question isn't a hammer and sickle. It's a mark from the video game series Dishonored.





That guy on the right (in the middle with the horns) has some fairly obvious white supremacist tattoos though.
