    Wait a few minutes for the curfew to kick in and then we'll see.

    I know some people who are excited that this will fragment the Republican Party in two, resulting in a third party. Welp, prepare for a lot of Democrat majority then, guys....
    I said that when he got elected. We'll come for the Democrat party next.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    That’s a good start, but that’s going to fuel his derps all the more.

    Pence is being urged to invoke the 25th Amendment again, this time from several fronts. All he needs to do is submit a document, cosigned by 8 members of Trump's cabinet, to Congress saying Trump is unfit for office, and BAM, he's #46. Trump wouldn't have enough time to fight back before his term ends.

    Ya think there's a shot?

    Maybe. It would be a serious house of cards move and set himself up for a 2024 run.

    They may invoke tonight.

    Sure, these losers at the Capitol are fucking basement-level stupid and aren't actually going to effect any change or save Trump or whatever they wanna do. But they are still 100% insurrectionists, and this is 100% an attempted coup. A woman died over this. What an ugly day.

    I find it hilarious when I see people at protests / riots wearing plate carriers without plates.

    I'm really surprised at just how many people were:

    -Shocked that Trump-ers have started their own brand of rioting/violence.
    -Convinced that these are all "actors" for some other group.

    It appears that plenty of arrests did actually happen, despite what others say, but it is surprising that an entire horde of people were able to get into the Capitol building with relative ease.

    Will be an interesting next couple of weeks. Stay safe everyone.

    That also goes for the violence that occurred last year, and that they were "staged actors" to make the movement look bad.

    My wife and I had a yelling fight with MiL last night because she claims the people that broke into the capitol were Antifa dressed up as Trumpers to make Trumpers look bad. The delusion is real, folks.

    These people were literally known MAGA faces from all over the US, including right wing podcasters and other "celebrities" in their bubble... People with names and faces and agendas, who took selfies and live casted from inside the building! The podium guy took a picture with Don Jr. at some Trump rally!

    Which just goes to show the lengths Antifa radicals will go to in order to discredit Trump, spending years establishing themselves as hardcore Trump supporters so that, when the time comes for them to storm the capital, no one will believe they're not Trump supporters. Maybe not even themselves--they're cover stories are that deep.

    My family has been posting stuff to FB saying same as MiL. Or that it was all peaceful, only Antifa was violent.

    MiL: Its that Nancy Pelosi, she was running the whole show.
    Me: What? Why? How?
    MiL: Well, she WAS there.
    Me: ...
    ...
    ...
    ...SHE. WORKS. THERE.

    My God! It just proves how far Antifa is willing to go to besmirch these innocent, freedom-loving, kitten-cuddling Trump supporters!

    Oh yeah, nothing says Antifa like bearded big boys. That seems to stop the conversations on my end.

    Yeah, it sure is on my social media feed too. The delusion just seems to try and weed out those that are the most embarrassing and making it seem like they're at the weird kids' table, and that there's just no possible way that they're closely associated. Same thing on the liberal side with those that were violent for burning down shops or graffiti. "Antifa, trying to make us look violent. It couldn't possibly be us."
