I wonder who, if they had been inside the complex that day, seeing and hearing what was going on outside and watching the media coverage of the building being breached, would not feel in danger?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

So it turns out the whole thing was a lie. LOL. She wasn't even in the building. #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett
There are mixed feelings on what it means. She was in Katie Porter's office in another building. The "banging" on the door was a cop trying to move them to a secure location. I guess you could argue that it's easy for us from the cheap seats to suggest she shouldn't have been freightened, but I'm starting to wonder whether she did go for the opportunist angle here.
No. A nearby office building. That said, I don't have any idea how close/accessible the buildings are to each other.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

So there was a threat when Mace wanted to tweet about it, but not when AOC wanted to tweet about it, is that the situation?
It's my understanding that AOC never claimed that "insurrectionists stormed our hallway".“Mace said she barricaded herself inside her D.C. office during the attack. Fearing that Trump supporters she had seen staying at her hotel might target her after she voted to certify the electoral votes, Mace said she decided to sleep in her office that night.
She said her children keep texting her asking if the protesters are gone.
As she talked about the impact Wednesday’s deadly insurrection had not only on democracy, but on the Republican Party and its members, Mace’s voice began to shake.“My anger not only stems from the violence last night, where four people died and people were injured, but everything (Trump) accomplished during the last four years of his presidency. That legacy has now been wiped out. It is gone, and we have to start over from scratch,” Mace said, noting that Republicans will be the minority party in both congressional chambers during at least the first two years of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency.
“We now have lost the Senate. We did that on our own accord. We did it to ourselves, and we reap what we sow. The rhetoric has got to stop,” Mace continued. “That is one of the main reasons that we lost people within our party. We lost independents. We lost moderates. We lost centrist Republicans. We lost Republicans who voted for a Democrat for the first time in their life this cycle.”

I wonder what happened since Mace made those comments.... just kidding, we all know what happened. The GOP reminded her who they & what they’re about, so she’s back toeing the party line.
Good stuff.

AOC's office is listed as the cannon house office building (the red marker on the map). the Capitol is clearly visible. make of this what you will.

The first one was obviously before Mace got the talking points memo from the GOP leaders.0

I have no idea why AOC would even be the slightest bit concerned. https://www.courthousenews.com/dallas-area-man-accused-of-threatening-to-assassinate-rep-ocasio-cortez/0

I'm not offended at all, you're still a tool.
I'd say the difference between 200 and 10,000 is quite a fucking bit. and relevant. no matter the number, yes, they were all traitorous pieces of trash. but I think factual questions should be THE MINIMUM expectation around here.
I know you have trouble with people discussing things and not being at the same exact level of outrage as you all the time.
