Meric Garland is the new AG.. Hopefully will hunt down the Trump terrorists..
[LOCKED]Capitol Buillding
"It was ANTIFA & B L M that attacked the Capital building."
That statement is so fucking stupid it should qualify as performance art and get a government grant.
Fun game to play with the kids, by the way: any pictures of the Capitol protests (excluding counter-protests down the street), Where's Waldo rules, except with non-white person instead of Waldo.
"Three people died during unrest at the US Capitol Wednesday — in addition to a woman shot dead by police when protesters breached the historic building, police said at a briefing.
Metropolitan DC Police Chief Robert Contee said the three other fatalities from the day — one woman and two men — appear to have died from “medical emergencies.”
Contee said those deaths are under investigation.
The woman killed inside the Capitol building, identified as US Air Force vet Ashli Babbitt, is now part of an investigation as an officer-involved shooting, the chief said.
Hundreds of supporters of President Trump, many coming from a rally by the president outside the White House earlier, broke into the Capitol building and vandalized it.
In all, Contee said 52 people were arrested after supporters of President Trump broke into the Capitol while Congress was certifying the president’s election day loss to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Four of those were people charged with carrying unlicensed handguns, and one for possession of illegal weapons, he said."
Trust me, college professors have been plotting how to undermine the Trump disinformation complex by pretending to be riotous Trump supporters today in effort to turn Americans more against Trump.
HFT,
That video was wrong.
College professors in the humanities led the charge on Congress.
It was a bunch of liberal academics masquerading as Trump supporters.
sn, Didn't someone post here today that there relatives were in DC last night and saw and videoed ANTIFA getting off a bus.
Josh Hawley is a fraud. He’s so ignorant about American history. He’s an embarrassment to Yale Law School.
He says tonight there is no place for violence in American life. He said the Constitution substituted ballots for bullets.
But he forgets that the violence of the Civil War was necessary to end slavery.
He forgets that the USA was born in the violence of revolution. The Declaration of Independence sanctioned violence and war against British tyranny.
The leaders of the Revolution and Minute Men were used much violence in pursuing a political goal.
The USA gives reverence to that Declaration, which sanctioned violence
Yes, of course, I prefer the use of non violence to pursue political objectives, but I justify the violence of the Northern armies trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath were stored. Glory glory hallelujah to the Northern armies and people who fought to make Black Lives Matter in a war from 1861-1865
For every drop of blood drawn by the Southern whip, Lincoln argued in his 2nd Inaugural Address, let us repay it with blood drawn by the Northern sword.
Our thanks to Frederick Douglass and Lincoln and MLK Jr and James Baldwin for their fight by word and deed to make Black Lives Matter
"are you mother fuckers proud of your self now , this is a disgrace ."
Of course they are. There will be more to come. They told everyone it was coming.
We're officially a 3rd world country.
It was ANTIFA & B L M that attacked the Capital building.
@HFT, I know you're always lying, but this is the baldest of the bald-faced lies you have ever said. Wow. There was video, both TV news cameras and security cameras, thousands of witnesses, many of whom are Congressmen and Senators, both Republican and Democrat. I haven't checked OANN or Newsmax. I don't think even they are making the claim you are trying to make.
SAP, YOU ARE CRAZY AGAIN. The violent fanatics for Trump are like the Confederates of 1861: defending white supremacy or white nationalism. It was ANTIFA & B L M that attacked the Capital building. Not Trump supporters. GET A LIFE!
13 arrests, 1 killed... Just like BLM protests..
Protesting: kneel during the anthem
Terrorism: storm the Capitol Hill..
A rare post for me here but it fits better here versus the WTF thread, even though watching Trump address the protesters was definitely a WTF moment. It was so bad that FaceBook, YouTube, and even Trump's preferred social media platform, Twitter, pulled it.
FaceBook's integrity chief Guy Rosen said, "We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence." That was pretty much my take on it as well, meaning it was just making a bad situation worse.
“ Odd we don’t blink when mom and pop small business are looted and burned, but it’s different when it’s the Political Elites hiding under their desks.”
What an idiotic statement.
First of all I don’t think anyone was not upset about lost businesses this summer.
More importantly it’s not the Political Elites hiding under their desks. That has people upset. It’s the, “Patriots” not letting the the, “Elites”’as you say, do their job. These, “Patriots” are pissing all over our Democratic process. They’re not even letting process play out. They decided to take matters into their own hands and decide this. Remind you of who told them he loved them?
Apples and oranges. Go back to fruit class.
I see a few assholes leading and then a bunch of lemmings tagging along. I see stupidity.
I saw the same thing with the riots over the summer.
Lyrics from a song in 1982.
Rioting, the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it's all
Gonna blow right now
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds, watch them kicking peoples' ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slave-drivers live
It's walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighborhood
Burning to the ground instead
Being dumb does not know an ideology.
White supremacy and fascist demagoguery (and imperialism) are the disgraces to me in the USA, not BLM and Antifa
The leaders of the colonial protest against Britain and of the American Revolution in 1776 were much more Antifa than Antifa and did much more violent looting and protesting .
I see BLM in the great tradition of the abolition and anti-lynching and Civil Rights movements.
The violent fanatics for Trump are like the Confederates of 1861: defending white supremacy or white nationalism.
"Alas, he probably likes it that we give his posts any attention at all."
You don't have HFT blocked? I highly recommend it. At some point, that level of malignant stupidity only grates your soul and undermines your faith in humanity.
Distraction attempt #1:
"Perhaps they just misunderstood the Capital for a CVS or a Nike store. How many of those were looted or burned and no one even shrugged, not even a little bit."
Zero to one, and zero to one, respectively. Oh, wait, nobody really cares about those... let's upgrade!
Distraction attempt #2:
"Odd we don’t blink when mom and pop small business are looted and burned"
So now CVS and Nike are mom and pop small businesses? Want to throw in Target and Arby's as well? Goddammit you're pathetic.
florida. Yes,,,,, ANTIFA AND B L M, ARE A DISGRACE. ACCEPT IT.
are you mother fuckers proud of your self now , this is a disgrace .
C'mon man.. it was mostly-peaceful ;-)
I’m hoping this storming of the Capitol incited by President Trump will devastate the political careers of Hawley and Cruz if they have enough Lucifer in them to continue their protests about the vote and certification of Biden as our president of the USA.
Let’s send Trump to Guantanamo on Inauguration Day. He can retire on St. Elba Island if he avoids jail in the USA.
I second MoeandKathy nomination of HFT for the Sahhaf award of this SLS political forum.
Can we now have a vote on it?
Alas, he probably likes it that we give his posts any attention at all.
He’s a negative attention whore.
I appreciate fellow posters who are providing me with some humor in this sad, ugly moment.
Biden gave an excellent speech about this moment.
Trump gave a short address and continued to be a super-spreader of disinformation about the vote.
Now this astounds: I’ve just read the most outrageously stupid and sick and insane post blaming BLM and Antifa for the storming of the Capitol today.
Does anyone who supports Trump want to try correcting HFT?
Is there a psychiatrist in this blog?
We have a bad case.
Send ANTIFA & B L M TO MoeKathy's home in Kyester, WV. See if they are a myth.
