Fuck that shit, that's not the only stuff that has to break for there to be a riot. Hell, there's a report that the rioters used tear gas on the police.

This is the first time since 1814 that an armed group has breached the Capitol. Fucking disgraceful, that's what this is. There is ZERO justification for this violent assault on the government itself.

I don't disagree, but still this isn't NEARLY as bad as those BLM riots were...This is quite a peaceful protest in comparison...for now anyways.

What I am worried about is if some antifa terrorists are going to get in with the party...then all hell can quite literally break loose. Let's just hope that won't happen.

All pales into significance in what would’ve ensued if Trump had’ve been re-elected.

[Typhon]

Sorry, Typhon, but you are completely delusional on that matter, absolutely ignorant of the full range of facts that show we had a free and fair election this past November.

Keep your eyes and ears shut all you want, the evidence is not going to go away.

  Damn right!

You do know that Jack meant things would be worse if Trump had won?

I weep for US democracy. It's now a 3rd world country in many peoples eyes.

Typhon, my eyes and ears are open and I'm taking it all in. You're living in a hole where only the right-wing wingnut view gets in. If you're not ready to wave the Stars and Bars, then you need to stop your rolling with the crowd that is.

Charger: I know people in the BLM movement, and they made great pains to keep their protests peaceful. They weren't responsible for the opportunists and right-wingers that showed up to loot and riot. The opportunists just went for the stuff, but the right-wingers went to deliberately discredit the peaceful movement.

I don't agree with antifa violence, either, but it's not being directed against actual government institutions. It's not waving Confederate banners or sporting Nazi armbands or peeking out of Klan hoods. That's the crew that did the violence today.

Anyone who praises the violence today from these criminals may as well praise the Nazi Putsch of 1928, not much difference between the right-wing rabbles that marched on the governments they wanted to overthrow.

Whereas the incident at the United States Capitol was -sorely- unfortunate, ultimately, none of that is going to change the transfer of power that is set to occur.

Just dial it back a bit Z. You're letting your emotions get the better of you...

I wouldn’t bet on that but I’m ok if you want to interpret it that way.

Agree, totally pointless exercise which only serves to justify the other sides rhetoric.

Bare in mind this is a left wing TV channel/News station that has this professor on a quite a lot.

Not sure he told them what they were wanting to portray on the show...

Sadly, that won't play here.

Now look who's throwing in completely delusional and absolutely ignorant views around.

It's funny how that works isn't it?

Anyways...Let's take it down a notch here again with all of this.

What are they going to do on the 20th win Biden moves in?

Most of the 74 million that voted for Trump will do nothing but go about their normal daily law abiding lives Covid permitting, but sadly America will still be very much a divided country as it has been the last 4 years.

The divide was there way before Trump. A lot of people forget that Trump was not the cause of the divide but the result.

Same can be said again about Biden as well.

[Vyn]

Congress has affirmed the results of the presidential election, it's over.

[Zzzptm]

... and I'm totally willing to never speak of politics again in this forum. I've said it as much before, and I'd prefer we just leave it the hell outside. I want to come here to relieve stress, not increase it.

You do know that Jack meant things would be worse if Trump had won?

Yes, I know what Jack meant.  It would have been worse because all the Trump bigots would go out and loot stores, damage property and hurt innocent people.  And then you wouldn't hear a peep out of Zzz about how wrong all that was.
