Identifying Trump rioters
There is a claim that the guy on the left in this picture is Philly Anitfa. While there is a guy on the Philly Antifa website that looks like him, it's actually because they are doxxing neo-Nazi Jason Tankersley. (I don't know if Jason Tankersley is the guy on the left, but that's the reason Philly Antifa has a picture of him.) https://phillyantifa.org/keystone-united-exposed-day-15-jason-tankersley/?fbclid=IwAR2Sg0ScY_92aoy5cFkw_9QOBSRpi7WEH7ELMCUjIKyDXmUtn4GYq2W0A-M

Identifying Trump rioters
The intent of this thread is to post the identity of the Trump supporting rioters who invaded Capitol on January 6th. I want it to be a resource for anyone responding to the idiots who are trying to claim that it was actually Antifa dressed up as Trump supporters. With that in mind, it would be better if folks just post articles instead of commentary. (There have been several folks already identified on the big thread, but it's hard to find since that is a fast moving thread.) So, Chris Grider, Trump supporter from Central Texas: https://www.kwtx.com/2021/01/07/central-texas-man-witnessed-deadly-shooting-as-trump-supporters-stormed-us-capitol/

The US Capitol has been Breached [Action and Developing stories]
It's not a question, it's a category of responders to a different question. So, read it like this, "of the people who answered that they believe there was enough fraud to affect the election results, how many agreed with storming the Capitol?" No. This isn't a traffic stop. This isn't a protest in a park or city street. This was a mob storming the seat of government. This was a mob that, leading up to these events, had been broadcasting their intention to execute "traitors," including many members of Congress. This was a barricaded line where the mob knew that cops* were pointing there weapons at. These were cops* who were outnumbered and had apparently did not have the capacity to detain the members of the mob. (If they did have that capacity, then not detaining them was the bigger failure.) *I use "cops", but I don't think they were there for law enforcement. They were there to protect.

welcome back to the cloak room, surly conservatives
Of course it doesn’t. Nobody on here is saying Biden is perfect. But anybody who equates Biden’s failings to Trump’s vapid, delusional, treacherous bullshit if a fucking idiot.

The US Capitol has been Breached [Action and Developing stories]
Same thing could be said about the occupation of the Sudetenland. They say violence is never the answer. They are wrong. Sometimes violence is the best response. Allowing terrorists to shutdown the democratic process and then face zero repercussions is worse than violent escalation. It ensures they will be back. Violent escalation is why we have cops and military. This wasn't some fucking park that protestors were occupying.

Correct. I don't want them removed, I want them detained, charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison. They need to stop playing. And how the fuck does the Capitol get breached? For fuck's sake, every podunk city hall got emergency security measures after 911. Are there not hardened doors, either visible or pocketed? The only way this makes sense if someone literally left the door open for them.

Holy shit, Mitt got abused by the cult tonight
Yep. And they would vote against any politician who voted for the passenger bill of rights, because it's socialist.

Yep. NE-2 was gerrymandered in 2008 after Obama won. It will almost certainly be again. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to a winner-takes-all format. They tried that after 2008, but we had a bad-ass State Senator filibuster it, and there really wasn't the political will to fight him on it. There were enough Republicans in the base who felt having some attention on Omaha was a good thing, and without the split, no candidates are going to come to Nebraska. But, that means prioritizing local concerns over national party goals. I don't see local concerns winning out this time.

Well, that's Brad thinks. I'm sure that by the end of the week the Trumpkins will have proven that he has a brother, an accountant and a heffalump working for the Chinese intelligence agency that developed smallpox.

Obscure movies from your youth
Seriously? I grew up in the 80s. The Outsiders was mainstream. I'm pretty sure every group of kids had someone who was trying to make "Pony Boy" stick as a nickname. It was directed by Coppola. I don't care how much it grossed.

Seriously fucking jealous. My Chicagoland experience was three years in Joliet. Not nearly as cool.

On the Nebraska AG's site, there is a form where you can report complaints that you want his office to investigate. I asked that they arrest the Nebraska AG for theft of State property. I don't know if education can reverse the damage, but I know damn well that defunding public schools is extremely dangerous. Fuck school vouchers. Fuck state efforts reducing funding for higher education. I look at those initiatives with an entirely different lens now.

Here's the thing about Trump: if you look at any time he declared bankruptcy, he was claiming that it wasn't going to happen up until the moment that it did. He's never going to publicly concede the inevitable. But, he still signed the papers in the end.

The lawsuit is fucked up for multiple reasons. Obviously, there is the question of standing and states' right - "the law". Obviously there is the fact that the basis for the challenge lacks any compelling evidence - "the facts". But something I think what is being under-appreciated is how fucked up it is that the official state governments are using not only the tax dollars, but the authority, of the state to pursue a purely political endeavor. This is not fighting for water rights for all Texans, or even a partisan policy issue like abortion rights. This is purely an attempt to install a political ally, and using the state government to do so. It is extremely similar to what Trump got impeached for - using the government's funds and position for purely political gain. It is corruption, right out in the open.

I'd talk shit, but I assume Nebraska will join the lawsuit in the next 24 hours. But, this does allow them to actually introduce evidence at the SC level, right?
