The aides who grabbed the ballots should be given medals, I have no idea which one is available for that.Those guys with the body armor, zip ties, sidearms, and butane torches, who were ushered in through a side window while all the cameras were on dip****s in horns and the National Guard had been ordered off the property, may have come within five minutes of destroying the ballots on the day they are constitutionally required to be opened and counted. But the aides had stopped and asked, “shouldn’t we take these with us?” I’m pretty sure Chris Miller is on a first name basis with these guys.

I was hoping someone would be stupid enough to call out my list as heartless. You’re not actually that stupid. Nice try.

I wonder if some of these republican members of congress (many of them no smarter than the average MAGAt) realize that had this mob gotten a little further a little quicker, many of the MAGAts would have had no idea who a lot of the individual members were. They could easily have harmed or killed a republican member of congress, maybe even one of their own. While that thought is nice to ponder, one would think these loonies would realize that trump endangered them all, the complicit law enforcement officers who stood down or helped direct insurgents in useful directions endangered them all, and the handful of republicans who put the whole thing into motion endangered them all.
These twits keep referencing Orwell and 1984, making it clear they've never read it.
I wonder if Pence made a deal with trump that he wouldn't push the 25th and he wouldn't publicly pressure him to resign in exchange for trump laying low, issuing no blanket pardons and staying away from Biden's inauguration. ...
My thought process while reading these:
So what. It looked like all of them had some stupid flag or another
Man! That's heartless.
Really? You guys are that friggin cruel?
Lights come on! Remembers what it says on the Gadsden flag. Starts laughing out loud. Stops laughing. Goes to the box for two minutes. Feels shame.
90% of people who throw around the term "Orwellian" have no idea what they are talking about.
I said it yesterday- I fully believe he just starts selling secrets and more people dieFive years on the political stage, a lifetime of corporate life in the public eye, and volumes of articles showing his track record...
... and *now* you think Trump is finally listening to other people telling him no? He surrounds himself with yes men for a reason, because he gets to twirl his little mushroom cap d*ck around and make everyone do his bidding.
The only people who can *ever* back him off a ledge are his children, and that's only when his actions can directly affect them (and even then that's up for debate). There are reports that "top aides (ie: Ivanka (I think WaPo actually named her and only her))" convinced him to finally "concede."
I forget who said it here, but they're 100% right: Trump and his kids are going to jet off to foreign countries after January 20th and start selling every state secret for as much money as possible. Meanwhile Sicatoka jerks himself off at night thinking about how that b*iches email server could have potentially been a security nightmare and our country is a safer place with Trump.
I mean, it's not like a track record of keeping Bill's indiscretions secret for decades wouldn't translate into also keeping state secrets secret.
Scroll down one.Remember how HORRIFYING it was when BLM marched near a (gasp) *Federal* Courthouse in Portland? And it was open war because they stepped on the lawn?
I'm relieved there weren't more casualties among the Nazis not because I respect Nazis but because we don't need them having martyrs.
This was terrorism. We don't need Cruz and Hawley tub thumping the Capitol Building is the Winter Palace and this was Bloody Sunday and 74 million dips mindlessly repeating it.
We are facing a long project of DeNazification (which we should study as a precedent that worked). Bloodshed will just give these psychopaths something to rally around and a reason to cling to their cult even tighter. You can see their avoidance to realize what they have become here on the Cafe. Now imagine even less intelligent and more vicious conservatives out there in the wild, fully armed and drunk on their own farts.
If you didn't feel sorry for any of the above deaths, including people outside of that group, then why in the world should we feel sorry for people who died attacking our US Capitol building???? How is this attack forgivable when the ones above needed to be defended and people needed to die?
I do not feel sorry for the woman who got shot in the face and died. She was attacking our country. Treason has the penalty of death. I do not feel sorry for someone who was trampled by friendly fire- give me a break- they killed each other? Fine. Heart attack? you wanted to attack our country, and was not in shape, sucks for you. And the rumor that someone fell to their death when there was a stairway- dumbness in an attack does not give you any compassion.
I'm actually disappointed that cops didn't fight back when they had the position to hold with force. Worse that they did little when one of their own was being crushed and attacked by the mob. How in the world do people who attack this country and attack cops walk away without being at least arrested????
We are in a pathetic country when a black man gets shot in the back 7 times just getting in his car, but attackers on our country, assaulters of our cops, etc had just ONE SHOT at them. One.
And don't expect people to have compassion for those who died attacking our country. The only people who can stand on that moral ground are ones who honestly felt bad for OBM and the attackers in Benghazi. Otherwise, it's a hypocritical moral standing.
