I don't get the relevance of that at this time.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I mean you could basically do that for any policy Democratic voters want.

:yes:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

According to the article he seems to have been nuts for a while.

I guess I would have been less surprised If I had known of his Sons of Liberty side project political views. Not to mention not following the band as in the late´90s.

You can, but here is why you won't.

Even less when Pelosi has already said that they're moving ahead with impeachment.

He's wearing an Oath Keepers (far right militia) cap that says "Lifetime member". That crosses the line from being nuts to being a dangerous individual.

It's up there with some sytsister stuff.

Hey Valmy, was your primo on duty yesterday?

Valmy

My cousin? Don't know yet. I have made some inquiries but my Aunt has not even told us if he was injured yet. I mean I presume if he was I would have heard it by now.

I cannot imagine he wasn't on duty though. He is a pretty gung ho cop who loves working at the capitol. He is my cousin's son so he is like 25 so young enough they he would be a first line type guy.

I think there is a question whether National Guard was actually needed. A few thousand of the most ridiculous losers in the country--who were apparently mostly unarmed--apparently walked into the capitol building without a shot fired to stop them. The officer who was killed apparently was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher that was in the building.

Except there were also professional soldiers with weapons and zip ties there, hunting the VP and members of congress. It wasn't all just MAGA Pepe incels.

Responding more to AR:

You don't want shots fired to protect a building.  But a bunch of National Guard troopers would have been more likely to help keep this mess out of the capitol building in the first place.

I wonder if any foreign agents were among the crowd as well? If I represented a potentially hostile power and was somewhat clued into developments in the Q-Anon/ Alt-right/ Hard Trumpist sphere and had some operatives around, I'd consider sending them in to see what I could grab/ what I could plant.

I pretty much said that as it was happening. I'm certain there were Russian and Chinese agents around grabbing whatever they could. Heck, I saw a video where someone seems to be yelling in Russian as the rioters are breaking a window.
