The blame for what happened on Wednesday is on Trump and those who supported and enabled him, full stop.
This isn't complicated.
The rest is all bullshit excuses.0 -

suggesting there was some conscious decision by a bunch of MAGATS that "well, the blacks got away with it, so can we" is again, absurd.
White supremacists didn't become emboldened until they had people in the white house.
As for the MAGAts they had the thumbs up from their leader to attack the Capitol.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
The MAGATS have been organizing this for months, and laying the groundwork for years. Follow Malcolm Nance, a former intelligence officer who has been tracking these groups on the web. This was not a reaction to George Floyd. That's a freaking excuse drummed up in the mainstream media0

From Heather Cox-Richardson's newsletter this morning:
"The disparity in treatment of yesterday’s rioters and Black Lives Matter protesters reflects the reality that authorities treat protesters differently according to their perceived political identification. FiveThirtyEight’s Maggie Koerth interviewed Roudabeh Kishi, whose research team tracked police violence in the U.S. from May 1 to November 28, 2020, and Koerth writes that authorities were “more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left-wing protest than a right-wing one.” When they did intervene, they used force 51% of the time for the left and only 34% of the time for the right."

Everyone who advises him, believes him, enables him, follows him, posts in support of him on liberal bands message board, votes for him is complicit.0 -

You're probably right which is unfortunate, because he really hits the nail on the head.0 -

Divide us up even more? Black helicopter talk? Tin Foil hat?
There were guys who stormed the building w/ zip ties & more, they were looking to take hostages. This was not a peaceful protest that went bad.
* If you haven't watched Larry Hogan's press conference from yesterday, I recommend you do.
Isn't this what the media focused on during the BLM rallies? Only the chaos?
That is why I say we are being played.
Are you suggesting this was a false flag?
If so, that's a bridge too far for me.
The Vice President of the United States and our entire Congress was one shattered window away from being attacked, maybe killed, maybe held hostage by a mob.
Yes, the media should have turned their cameras to the picnics on the lawn, the ones being held next to the noose they erected.
I just can't believe we're having a debate about this.0 -
how are we being played if the media shows us the carnage? that's literally what is so newsworthy about it. does sportscentre show all the 2 yard running plays in mid field? no, they show the touchdowns and interceptions.
