Ah yes, this is the left's fault.

Which mental gymnastic routine will be preformed next?

More after the break.

Observe the “Twitter-verse”. The same people who abused the euphemism “mostly-peaceful protest” as mobs burned down and seized entire blocks of cities are screaming terrorism because of a few broken windows and strewn about papers in the capitol building. Clown world.

What is the "this" about which you speak?

Just imagine if Trump had the humility to accept the election results in early November. The GOP wouldn't lose the senate, the party wouldn't have to fracture itself, and today didn't have to happen. The most powerful nation in the world is falling apart right now because a 75-year old man baby couldn't accept that he lost.

This is what comes of electing a sociopathic con man. What a fitting end: a disgraceful finale to the worst President in US history. To the millions who voted him into office, the 40% of Americans who supported him through four long years, and all the 70+ million people who voted for him: let this be your legacy. You’re responsible for this. You’re complicit in this. The damage done to the future of the country and the world over the last four years is unforgivable and unforgettable. We’ve become a global embarrassment.

But despite the best efforts to run this country into the ground and, through foreign policy, nuclear weapons policy, and climate change policy, the rest of the world, there were more rational people than not.

We now have the presidency, the house and the senate. The healing and rebuilding begins. We have much work to do, and have learned hard lessons — from 40 years of neoliberal policies, an economic crash, a leader who turned his back on us (Obama) as we were sleeping, and now four years of destruction and degeneration. We can’t repeat these mistakes again.

We all having fun? Anyone want a drink? Makes some of the comments here easier to digest, I promise.

"History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation. But we’d be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise.
For two months now, a political party and its accompanying media ecosystem has too often been unwilling to tell their followers the truth — that this was not a particularly close election and that President-Elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20. Their fantasy narrative has spiraled further and further from reality, and it builds upon years of sown resentments. Now we’re seeing the consequences, whipped up into a violent crescendo."

Captures a lot of it. Especially the parts about neoliberalism and media ecosystems. Despite the latter coming from the guy who helped create the conditions for Trump by turning his back on his supporters. But regardless.

It doesn’t take much to be more progressive and bold than we have been historically, so xtrix is probably technically correct even if we’re still not VERY progressive and bold. — Pfhorrest

Biden has systematically and with intent shut out every even marginally progressive voice out of his cabinet and decision making apparatus. The idea that it would be 'more progressive and bold than ever before' is no less delusional than those idiots on the hill right now. It's Blue MAGA.

The first part is true. Getting rid of Trump won’t change it. America is dysfunctional.

The world is falling apart because of Global Warming. But yes, it's all Trump's fault.

Oh no, America is screwed even with Trump gone, but I'm just saying that it's alot more screwy than it is now in this instance because he's a petty manchild. It's both hilarious and sad.

Has anyone gathered anything factual about why the police and security allowed this to happen? How could they not have anticipated this? Where was the ass-kicking that we saw this summer from law enforcement?

Has anyone gathered anything factual — Xtrix

No facts, but there's a rumour that trump initially refused to mobilize the dc national guard. Maybe he also undermined security at the Capitol? Sounds insane, but maybe.

Right or wrong I think these people had a lot more commitment, not just the banging of drums and chanting.

The cops and the protestors are the exact same people. There's no big mystery here. Both are costume donning larpers with a propensity to violence; one with an official mandate from the state, the other with an unofficial one.

Nothing seems insane today, but I'd like to know something more concrete.



Yeah, they had a goal I suppose. But unlike burning a building spontaneously, given that they knew there were thousands of people in town and that this was certainly a possibility, you'd imagine the security would have been ramped up. Also, the small fact that it's the capital building and was in session. It's baffling.

Facial recognition firm claims antifa infiltrated Trump protesters who stormed Capitol

Trump supporters say that antifa members disguised as one of them infiltrated the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

A retired military officer told The Washington Times that the firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia antifa members to two men inside the Senate.

The source provided the photo match to The Times.

One has a tattoo that indicates he is a Stalinist sympathizer. antifa promotes anarchy through violence and wants the end of America in favor of a Stalinist-state. “No more USA at all” is a protest chant.
XRVision also has identified another man who, while not known to have antifa links, is someone who shows up at climate and Black Lives Matter protests in the West.

I wouldn’t doubt it.

The police let them in, they got their photo-op of “democracy under attack”, killed a veteran, and dipped.

And also have the numbers, training, technology, equipment, weaponry, etc., that should far surpass anything we saw today. If used. For some reason, it wasn't. (Until much later.)

I wouldn’t doubt it. — NOS4A2

What a shocker.

I heard Antifa also caused 9/11, WWII, and killed off the dinosaurs. It's true.

Yeah and I heard all the "rioting and looting" was really Trump supporters in disguise.

Wouldn't doubt it.

The man with the fur and horns was a QAnon guy in from Arizona.

Sounds plausible. Maybe it was the fascists who caused WWII and not Antifa.

I guess that Antifa also tricked Trump into giving speeches to those same protesters inciting them to march on the Capitol building.
