    I'm not even bothering with responding because it is a disingenuous argument form the start.

    On a side note, it is an interesting grouping of many of my HS classmates who have come together in discussing what is going on right now. A lot of are talking about having to defriend Individual One supporters because they are not able to have a rational conversation, and when disagreements come up, the response is to insult. And I'm saying this as many of those who I am speaking I didn't really talk to in high school. A non-political political conversation.

    So, a couple of people I have on my FB feed are hard core military, served for 25+ years. I was in conversations where they joked about doing "recon" when deciding where to fish. Well, one put this meme up not long ago.

    And one final thing for tonight

    https://www.sfgate.com/news/editorspicks/article/q-shaman-us-capitol-antifa-matt-gaetz-15852663.php

    A QAnon promoter stormed the Capitol. Now, he's upset people are saying he's 'antifa'

    [​IMG]


    Angeli himself responded to the Wood tweet, trying to clarify that he is, in fact, pro-Trump.

    "Mr. Wood. I am not antifa or blm," he wrote. "I'm a Qanon & digital soldier. My name is Jake & I marched with the police & fought against BLM & ANTIFA in PHX. Look up OAN's coverage of July 4ths rally in PHX capital. I was standing against the BLM mob out numbered but unphased. Look it up..."
    ​
    ROFLMAO. This is a guy the cultists are trying to brand as antifa.

    So, a little more on the saga of Elizabeth from Knoxville. She's been held up as the symbol of entitlement and privilege. But is she really a crisis actor?

    First, some levity, for anyone who watched Animaniacs.

    1347053742521262082 is not a valid tweet id


    Now, on to the scandal. Sharp-eyed viewers identified that Elizabeth from Knoxville appeared to have something in her towel - the one she was using to wipe her eyes and face after reportedly being maced as soon as she entered the Capitol building. It appears to be an onion.



    Now, I'm no violent insurrectionist, but I learned in grade school that if you cut an onion, it can make your eyes water, and you don't rub your eyes with oniony hands unless you like pain. Yet she appears to be rubbing the onion on her eyes.

    Is this some kind of trick? Did she really get maced, or is she just faking it for sympathy - were those tears generated by self-onioning? Or is there some kind of insurrectionists' tale that if you get mace in your eyes, you rub them with an onion to try to generate tears to wash out the mace?

    I don't know the answer to these questions, but I have a suggestion for how to find out. Arrest her and put her on trial for participating in a violent mob that invaded the Capitol building. By her own admission, she trespassed on Federal property, a Federal crime. At the trial, if she testifies under oath that she was actually maced, then she's guilty of criminal trespass; if she testifies that she faked it, then everyone knows who she is.

    Congratulations on your fifteen minutes of fame, Elizabeth from Knoxville. I hope it was worth it.

    The officer was on life support and they were waiting for him to be joined by family. That was why there were confused reports in the evening.



    The FBI is slowly putting up photos and requests for information.

    I thought I had posted it before. On the sergeant of arms thing, let's not forget that the Canada sergeant of arms at their Parliament shot and killed their terrorist when he was walking around in the building after he killed one of the security people already.

    On whether Trump is getting more deranged ...

    IMO this misses the point. He's always been a psychopath and will never change. But in recent weeks he has come under immense pressure. A normal person just concedes defeat and gives up.

    The desperate psychopath is more like to break from reality and burn everything to the ground

    Again anyone who has been in an abusive relationship understand this cycle of violence.

    Same trump. Different part of the cycle.

    Nikki Haley and Ted Cruz are so cute..... The noise you are hearing in the background is the stampede of GOPers rushing to denounce Trump. They never liked him or knew him......

    Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley sharply criticized President Trump over the Capitol riot and his behavior since the election, telling RNC members in a closed-door speech Thursday evening that Trump’s actions “will be judged harshly by history,” Politicoreports.

    On a side note, Senator Cris Coons called for Cruz and Hawley to resign. This call will only grow louder in the next few days. Not sure those weasels will do so but they are on the spot.

    Yes, good article.

    About the quote - usually the police are about preserving order and the status-quo and white supremacists are about their own privilege. And for a long, long time those goals overlapped, so much so that they seemed intertwined. But they are still different. This lady hasn't yet learned that when her privilege upsets the status quo, the police won't stay her friend.

    I mentioned elsewhere the fact that, when the GOP politicians became the ones that felt in danger, THEN we saw some attempt to bring in heavy duty LE and others. Don't forget, dth had already said that Pence had betrayed him and who was it called in 'the troops'?

    That's my belief as well.

    Did you catch that interview I shared on Channel 4 News with Ian Bremmer and another guy yesterday? He said something about the business model of the SM companies not being conducive to a socially cohesive society... and he's right IMO.
