  1. Yet try to find anything about today on their website
  2. Even though I'm all in on schadenfreude of the Rights FAAFO.... This? Fuck this. *however, this might be the type of thing that forces the GOP to actually do something, anything to address the violence and angst they've fed over the decades.
  3. 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.
  4. FAAFO intensifies
  5. Is MNL insinuating that Jan 6 was pre-planned with the blessing of some government officials? That seems relevant.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Are we watching a stroke happening in slo mo?
  9. Even still though.....
  10. I honestly thought the Koch bros had more money than what they afforded getting her.
  11. Everyone point and laugh at the dumb dumb
  12. 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.
  13. Maybe she'll get a posthumous degree from aggy
  14. Is she mad that the Capital wasn't prepared to battle antifa? Or a large tourist gathering?
  15. Cool, now add the part of the sitting President watching and DECIDING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
  16. 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.
  17. The far right has no idea the potential of their actions and it won't go the way they think. Similar to last time.
  18. 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.
  19. Meanwhile in an alternate reality https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3294712/0#discussion
  20. In. Time to pour a stiff one.
