The Capitol was the focal point of the protest due to the location and in this case the perceived injustice of the election. When almost half the voting population thinks there is something wrong with the election, maybe its time to listen

Regardless of where you stand, this is _blatant_ political bias (democrats) towards an equally valid opposing viewpoint (republican) This is literally definition of a slippery slope where Google is going and would have caused an absolute ou

People that speak out in favour of virtue and signalling thereof get praise and admiration, other people that speak their opinion, which may be unconventional, get fired from their jobs or lose scholarships to universities. How did it come

I wonder if Boeing and their engineers instinctively knew it was their fault after the first crash, or at least had a feeling/intuition, and how many hoops they had to jump through to cover it up only for it to come up again
