It was like Pearl Harbor, Ben.  Thousands of people across the country were scared for a little while.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

He'd be almost 80 years old, is that a serious concern?  He looks good for his age now and he's still sharp (mostly) but really?  I don't see him running again even if he can.  I see him backing somebody like Sarah Palin (*not* Sarah Palin, I mean someone like her when she was still governor of Alaska and not on many ppl's radar)

My friends grandfather was still running marathons at 95.

The Q folks are still trusting the plan.

Trump and Pompeo aren't acting like they are going anywhere.

The Democrats are acting pretty odd themselves, their hyperbole and stated plans are overtly totalitarian, normies aren't noticing.  

The social media/internet giants are so over the top you would think normies would notice that, where they do they agree with it!

Are "the normies" even aware of this?  I have no idea what they see, if they get their news from CNN.   (Alex Jones, CNN.  pick one.)

I saw some comments on Disqus that the raid on the capitol started 20 minutes before Trump finished speaking, then it would take an hour to get from the Eclipse (what is that?) to the Capitol.  So the rioters could not have heard the speech that supposedly incited them to violence.  Let's see if I can find it again...

Quote from: William James
Christie is full of beans -- or what beans become after a few hours in the digestive system. One America News pointed out a glaring problem in the impeachment charges yesterday. How can someone be guilty of inciting a riot when the rioters have not heard heard his speech? The trouble began to erupt at the Capitol twenty minutes before Trump finished speaking, and nearly an hour before anyone at the Ellipse could have gotten to the Capitol. I have several eyewitness reports from friends or relatives at or near the Ellipse who reported that the noise of the flash bangs, which they feared might be gunshots, was audible as they were a block or two from the Capitol. That was a signal to them to steer clear, which they did. It is highly improbable that the group that blew up at the Capitol could have heard Trump's speech via cellphone, since streaming was just about impossible because of the traffic overload from all the users in the city. So the Democrats, in their vendetta and their hate-driven lust to destroy Trump, have impeached him for an alleged misdeed which is almost impossible to have done. Another of many good reasons why the Democrat logo is a  donkey, although the other word is more fitting.

And according to the Google Maps it would take 34 minutes to walk from The Ellipse to Capital Hill.

Yes it stared during his speech and the FBI and NYPD both warned them in advance but the capital police said no to extra security.

It didn't look like an hour on the map.  But 34 minutes is still significant.

It also means that anyone who heard the speech was about an hour away when the "assault" on the capitol happened.

20+34 = 54 = about an hour.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

The Washington Times is considered a propaganda rag by the left, and the sheep that watch stuff like the View are easily convinced of the same. This will not get any traction in the MSM and Twitter et al will simply censor it.

In fact, to counteract their story, I suspect you'll soon be hearing about how the rioters staged operatives with secure comms at Trump's speech while the shock troops were already positioned at the Capitol. Trump will have said a super duper secret coded phrase embedded in his speech that was communicated to the KKK warriors at the Capitol who then executed the insurrection.

Here you go. Even the "conservative mouthpiece" Fox News is reporting that there will be increased "domestic terrorism" in 2021, alluding it will pretty much be from "the militias".

https://www.foxnews.com/us/law-enforcement-bulletin-feds-violent-extremism-terror-threat

Biden/Harris will turn this up to 11, antifa will continue to burn down cities and at worst be charged with misdemeanors, and guys with 3% T-shirts will be arrested by anti-terrorism task forces and charged with felonies for being out in public and inciting violence with their shirts.

Might take longer with the area so crowded too.

Well, for one: Remember when we discussed how the traditional "OK" sign has now been linked to white supremacy? Well, poor Kyle Rittenhouse decided to let his supporters know that he was OK after his arraignment.

Oops.

Freedom-wise, there is zero wrong with what he did. But geez, I thought some top dog lawyers are defending him. Didn't they brief him on optics? He doesn't have to stay locked up at home, but he needs to be careful about where he goes and how that appears to his worst detractors (which include the MSM, who will happily set him up).

So there is now also a "sedition task force". Of course just for the "right wing", not antifa or anything.

Are they pretty much just ripping off President Clark's regime from Babylon 5 at this point? AOC wants a ministry of truth now as well.
