But no, seriously, the same people in my newsfeed that cried about "everyone gets a trophy", "learn to lose", etc are currently still claiming things need "investigated" or that Trump really didn't lose. It's is sad.

Sane people have to react and do the right thing while the crazy people keep on keeping on.

Think back to four years ago, when those on the left side of the aisle were being mocked, and were being told we were trying to delegitimize the president even though that wasn't what any of us were saying. None of us disputed the outcomes of the election (that I am aware of) but yet we were told we were, were mocked for it, and told to "get over it." https://mashable.com/video/daily-show-fox-news-hosts-voter-fraud-conspiracy/ RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - GMDino - 03-05-2021 A couple (very few) of my more conservative FB friends are giddy that Washington was prepared for another attack that didn't happen. See, that *PROVES* that "they" are using the media and misinformation about the right! I'm happy that the FBI and others are keeping an ear to the ground and are prepared. I'm also happy it seem to just be talk from the usually underground talkers who I don't think have the energy to actually do anything. I believe the threats are real and it is best to be prepared...not afraid...just in case. Anyway, one of their friends commented in a way that I think kind of undermines what they are saying: Responses by people like "J" are the reason sane people are preparing.

Folks like Trump take "winning" to a whole new level. The type of person who can't ever admit defeat. Born on third and thinks he hit a triple. That kind of thinking. And his more fervent followers believe that they too will be constant winners if they can only touch the hem of his garment. RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - Au165 - 03-05-2021 So one of the people literally leading the mob during the insurrection was a Trump appointee. https://www.axios.com/trump-appointee-capitol-riot-arrested-fbi-09c8cedd-8a6b-46b8-898b-304785456527.html RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - Nately120 - 03-05-2021 It does warm my cynical heart to see so many of Trump's henchmen realize they were expendable. At least we are still civilized enough that they weren't convinced to suicide bombers...yet? RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - GMDino - 03-07-2021 So apparently this guy was a Trump appointee to the State Department. Also, apparently, the Trump Admin was really bad at vetting their appointees. Well, unless the vetting was "Are you 100% loyal to Trump and will believe everything he says?"
Only the best people.

From the Administration that pushed for EXTREME VETTING of immigrants. I don't have a problem with that other than it was obviously used to discriminate.

"the radical QAnon people – when you actually see them on camera or in jail cells, as a lot of them now are, are maybe kind of confused with the wrong ideas, but they’re all kind of gentle people now waving American flags? They like this country.” Carlson also said QAnon followers were “not torching Wendy’s. They’re not looting retail stores. They’re not shooting cops. No, that’s not them, it’s the other people doing that.” Oh--THOSE people. Now I get it.

RE: Storming Of The Capitol Building - GMDino - 03-13-2021 It is weird to me how emboldened the gqp has been to say the quiet part out loud AFTER Trump left office.
I am NOT surprised that so many of them continue to go in public still defend Trump and his supporters who raided the building and killed an officer.

Didn't it come out that the officer didn't die by the people who raided the building. I know for sure they said the fire extinguisher thing was wrong.

I know for sure they said the fire extinguisher thing was wrong. They are still connecting his death with the attempted insurrection. He died of a stroke/blood clot that is suspected to be a result of chemical irritants he was exposed to at the Capitol.

And still dead because of the people who raided the capitol because they don't understand math as well as they believe conspiracies.

That he died due to the use of chemical irritants from what other police used. Also I think it's pretty a big overreaction to call it an insurrection. Just the same as everyone saying that most of the protests were riots last year.

Okay, people at a protest turned violent (same people, they were at the speech) by forcing their way into a building and their actions contributed to the death of an officer. Somehow not better to me but whatever makes people enjoy their narrative. Blue lives matter" and all that. |
