"Two family members and a longtime friend said that Brock’s political views had grown increasingly radical in recent years.

That's sad and I struggle to understand how and why.
PLEASE look...I'd just like to suggest that spreading some love and laughs around today would be a very good thing.
Turning off his twitter wasn't enough. What they should do is cut the electricity into the WH at 3 am and go in there and drag his ass OUT. That was a fucking act of war and he gotta GO. TODAY
That's the thing, of course they're not sorry for anything other than for being caught. They've been poisoned into thinking they can let their inside voices be spoken out loud while giving into their worst instincts. It's gross.
Where's that dude who thinks this is some free form of expression? That ended the second they broke and entered. These are the people, as it goes, that work forces while also burning crosses.
Interesting thread...I'm really curious about how all of this unfolded. What happened behind the scenes at the WH and Dept of Defense that we aren't privy to yet?

There's been a lot of talk about "censorship" on Twitter, FaceBook, Simon and Schuster. Blocking someone who incites rioting and invasion of the Capitol is not censorship. A publishing company refusing to publish certain material is not censorship. I wish these far right wingers would educate themselves instead of making their false claims.
They literally want government to force private companies to be forced to share anything from anyone. Free speech.

What a POS.
Some people are starting to put together the timing of Trump’s tweets about Pence with the break-ins and while we’re a long long way from proof, I kind of think Trump ordered prince to be killed and or kidnapped. For a while I thought about how disjointed this whole thing was as it’s dominated by a bunch of jackasses who are just having fun taking photos of themselves etc. But some of the more stealth guys caring zip lines? They may have been using the jackasses as cover for actual missions. And I wouldn’t be shocked if that came from the Trump family.

Seeing these individuals with background stories and estranged friends and family highlights how these people have been radicalized
It's poison
It is. And as much as I blame them, I also feel sorry for them.
I read a background story in the Post this morning on the woman who got killed. Classic bi-polar behavior/symptoms described by the people who knew her. It's a shame people don't recognize symptoms of mental health issues and intervene. We have to get better at this.

We also prop up a system that doesn't address nor treat mental health adequately.

what's the tradition of the new president hanging the outgoing prez's pic on the wall in the WH? is it a painting? or just a blown up pic? I want to see video of Biden hanging Obama's pic.

Including not be allowed to run for president again which would be great.
it is the only fitting end to this chapter.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Only problem with that is, the only thing that would ever grow again there would be noxious weeds.
and trump's pic should never, ever be hung.
unless it's over a toilet in the basement.
