IndiraLightfoot Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Best speech I've ever heard from Biden going on right now. In some ways, his voice reminds me of Ronald Reagan. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch has nothing to really fear from Trump at this point having just won reelection and already having gotten what he wanted. Next time he's on the ballot he'll be in his mid 80s assuming either is still around.

IndiraLightfoot Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Perhaps the events unfolding today can make quite a few republicans turn their back on trumpism if you formulate it in some economic argument: Image-wise, this is costing the US a ****load of money, and even more cold hard cash won't be generated any time soon because of this. 1 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically before the proceedings on the capital and the mob riot Trump had a rally with all of those people and he was laying it on thick there. In fact it would not be a stretch to say that he incited them to do exactly what they did. I’m afraid I agree with Bill Kristol. Once the capitals cleaned out Congress should reconvene and impeach him.

Darkpriest Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I turned tv on, and I do not see any fire, nothing being devastated, a bunch of people standing with flags, as the police secured the stairs. No bricks flying towards police. So i think that some of the feed is exaggerated. I guess the initial encounter was abit shocking, but its not looking dangerous to passer bys.

IndiraLightfoot Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yeah, I had no idea that the Capitol cluster of buildings were this easy to assail. Good to know for ill-willed organizations and such, I suppose. Some head of security needs to be sacked ASAP, that's for sure. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to some of these people jaw at the cops and some are saying "If we were BLM you wouldn't be roughing us up" Also some dude saying they don't want socialism. Also, saying the cops would let ANTIFA walk in. Oh man, this is a great comedy show, feel sorry for the cops having to endure this nonsense.

IndiraLightfoot Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Ransacking and pillaging and basically taking a dmp on USA... Incredible that these things just could go on.

Skarpen Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Oh it just fills me with joy seeing all those "peaceful protest" supporters crying like babies right now. I said if the shoe was on the other foot you guys would make a full 180, and I was right as always. This is not a peaceful protest and such behaviour is unacceptable and I condemnd it just as I condemned the same behaviour on the other side. And since both BLM and MAGA protestors are complaining that police is rougher on them than the other group just proves police is doing ok.

Malcador Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Well, would depend on a group existing that would say the police acted well against them, then you can judge the cops by having two groups complain. Cops seem they've acted similar between the two, DC cops didn't really do anything OTT during the BLM protests unlike the NYPD. Other than getting caught cold and their inept response, been ok. Running theme in a lot of the comments are the protesters thinking they are owed better treatment because they supported the cops I did like the random guy that said that the cops were actually from the Department of Health and were sent by the CDC to separate people from families.

Tale Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This has taught me one thing. That some part of me is an accelerationist. Because I had a giggle and a grin hearing about this today. I do hope we can get back to making progress on serious issues in this country. And that this is more of a last gasp and not the start of another terrifying phase. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
