Ambiguous doesn’t mean meaningless. Harris says verbatim that the protests are not going to let up, and should not . Even though they are violent, and people have died. You chose to interpret that as her saying that they would not stop (

Actually the FBI said today they are still investigating if anyone actually tried at all to take hostages, and still investigating who the person was with the zipties and what they were doing there. The woman who was shot (elsewhere I poste

I know that’s what you see. You see that because you believe that and spoken language is ambiguous. Trump followed up with an almost identical statement. You understand what he said differently because you believe different things about

I’ve now read every one of the links you shared. Again, it’s unquestionable they were unprepared. It’s obvious it took too long to respond once shit went sideways. The question is why , the answer to which you will not find in any of those

I don’t know if you realize you’re making exactly my point. This “fact check” is the kind of laughable gaslighting that got us here. The YouTube videos speak for themselves. The death toll speaks for itself. > Colbert: ”I know there a

The threats haven’t been hypothetical all year. Dozens have died, 100s maimed, $2 billion in property damage. Kamala Harris said, > "They're not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they're not gonna stop," she a

This is not a news article, this is a link to a disinformation campaign. So ironic that this drivel is what gets linked and shared. Both sides are clearly entirely capable at this game.

Zero elected officials were actually taken hostage. You saw a picture of a guy with zipties at the capital, and extrapolated all the way to the rest of your comment. Antifa showed up at several state capitals with much worse than zipties. T

And herein lies the danger behind scurrilous invocation of terms like “insurrection” and “coup”. It’s an attempted justification for the “cleansing” that’s already well underway on Twitter today, and will continue unabated for as long as th

Citation needed. The national guard response was indeed delayed. The actual reasons for that, who was directly responsible, and any evidence for why they made that call, have not come out yet to my knowledge.

This Twitter thread is a gold mine for anyone looking for perspective on what happens when the “right” group versus the “wrong” group storms past baracades and into the Capital, while describing it as “taking the Capital”.

You’re mistaken if you think I’m defending what happened at the Capital yesterday. I am an ardent supporter of the right to peacefully protest. I am against any form of violent protest, and as a matter of scale, I’m much more offended by th
