    No one says that they weren't. But it has been conflated to be the purpose of BLM (which is only to ask for a change to how police and other government systems handle race relations) rather than a subset of bad actors with their own agenda to destroy things. Additionally, a decent percentage of those rightfully prosecuted were those who were not part of the protests and there to make the movement look bad. In contrast, the Jan. 6 insurrection was designed and implemented to stop a transition of power, against the will of the people (you know, our votes) thus stopping our democracy from existing after a couple hundred years. Like comparing apples and hippopotamus.

    FAAFO intensifies

    Is MNL insinuating that Jan 6 was pre-planned with the blessing of some government officials? That seems relevant.

    Life's little gifts that could end a Presidency in an instant. Remember we could have had Cheney as a President because of a pretzel.

    A Colorado slag?

    He's no doubt trying to measure every word here and I'm not going to fault him for that.... But this is painful to follow.

    Are we watching a stroke happening in slo mo?

    I honestly thought the Koch bros had more money than what they afforded getting her.

    I'd also argue that the Bush administrations actions regarding the expanding scope of military response, especially lies to justify, fed into general distrust of government (deep state and military complex). A major underlying theme to the alt-right is their justification for "burning it all down" to start over again. They think they are patriots fighting against a tyrannical government. All bad things can now be veiwed done by the boogeyman government (rightly or wrongly). See: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3295595 Government reactions to 9 11 could be argued directly fed into the insurrection by amplifying distrust of government...... Along with the decades long marketing campaign by the GOP that government is bad.

    But ANTIFA

    Maybe she'll get a posthumous degree from aggy

    Is she mad that the Capital wasn't prepared to battle antifa? Or a large tourist gathering?
  15. SmokeyTheBear
    DEEP STATE!
  16. SmokeyTheBear
    Cool, now add the part of the sitting President watching and DECIDING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
  17. SmokeyTheBear
    These are the same rubes cheering the extensive and expensive effort to bring to light Benghazi, yet the Capital gets stormed and this is all a sham.

    The far right has no idea the potential of their actions and it won't go the way they think. Similar to last time.

    Fucking traiters in here wanting a precedent set that any time someone loses an election, it's totes cool to try and take over the government with violence and corruption. The stupidist, most deplorable Neanderthals and all of our neighbors. Absolute dipshits.

    In. Time to pour a stiff one.

    HOW MANY DOORS ARE THERE????!!!!

    The problem is that now he'll go straight to jail instead of a medical facility to be rehabilitated. People don't have incentives to address their mental issues in this country before it escalates to this type of situation. Regardless, good on him for asking for that help by turning himself in. Or he's a crisis actor....
