  1. I mean, in some ways, he very much was a liar. He twisted and sold the best and worst parts of their religion and identity to support violence. Trump has used the same with Christianity and some bastardized version of what it is to be an American. These playbooks have been used for years to push seemingly harmless groups into cultish/dangerous hordes. *kill Americans and live eternity with your share of virgins. Virgins take over the government and you will live eternity as a true patriot.
  2. And I hope I'm wrong but one thing I've learned these past few years is that America is filled with a lot of dangerous and ignorant people, happy to kill for the dumbest of reasons. School shootings, random bombs in Austin or Nashville or other states, anthrax, concert shootings, fucking taking over the capitol. We need to stop downplaying the potential of Trump and his followers.
  3. For those not in the know, GEOTUS means God Emperor of the United States
  4. Yeah, mental illness is a hell of a thing. Doesn't mean there isn't a bunch more of her types willing to run to a fight because they aren't based in reality. They think they are saving our country by these acts. They have pumped themselves up as true patriots. They are lost and ignorant and desperate, thus dangerous.
  5. He's a God, a prophet, the "one" who will save us all from whatever paranoid thing you want or need him to save us from. It has been a cult up to this point but now he might as well be Osama Bin Laden leading a terrorist organization. Someone to champion the causes of our worst at the sake of his ego and perceived character.
  6. The issue there is that it's likely that a third of the armed troops may be on the side of the insurrection.
  7. It's different now. There was a glimmer of hope that Trump would stay in power. Now, they are activated. Trump finally had his power stripped from him, the chosen one in their eyes. I hope I'm wrong, but this is going to get ugly and for years. Keep it mind, a third of the population supports this man. From a scale issue, you have to assume that's a lot of potential for violence.
  8. Not real but fuck I wish it was.
  9. Twisting the knife while we are weak, why else? To prove more that democracy is not as good as autocracy.
  10. Watching MSNBC and Frank Figliuzzi brings up a great point that if any adversaries are looking to hit us, now is the time to expect it. Awesome sauce.
  11. Let's try to shy away from anything that might be unconstitutional. Otherwise, what the fuck is the point of this thread and our collective rage?
  12. Did one of the officers tell the camera "I'm not into this"? Interesting
  13. Regarding the laptop, it looks like just one used in a conference room for presentations. Very likely that it didn't have any data rights that would be valuable. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/08/pelosi-aide-says-laptop-stolen-from-her-office-during-storming-of-capitol.html
  14. Siap The GOP gladly opened up pandoras box and now they have to deal directly with the ramifications. Sadly, so do the rest of our country. Never forget.
  15. But also don't assume nothing is happening because Surly isn't in on the internal discussions
  16. I plan to shame them every chance I get. Call them out as the traitors they are.
  17. Does that mean that they won't vote in the future because the swamp won for good? That would be cool
  18. Can someone request an amendment to process to trim this shit down? Jesus this kills the momentum of the moment. Get this shit done now to show Trump and the world we aren't a bunch of slapdicks proud of swatting down the dumbest of coups. *this shitshow coup is in no way over, which requires the quickest of responses
