    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I kind of hate to say it, but it certainly puts "Don't Tread On Me" in a new context.

    Supposedly he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. I’m sure the “patriots” will claim it was because his head was on fire..........or some stupid shit.

    just because a coup fails doesn't mean it wasn't a coup attempt

    understand what you are saying but I think it was more a bunch of red neck white supremacist nuts breaking in the People House causing trouble and hurting people. When I think of a legit coup there would have been total war with guns a popping everywhere with hundreds killed. Plus some of the military involved in an actual overthrow. Once more cops and the guard showed up it clear out pretty fast. It definitely was insurgency.

    An attempted crime is a crime even if it does not succeed.

    Do you seriously think that bunch of Bubbas had any chance of overthrowing the US government?

    Did you ever read “Seven Days in May”? That’s what a real coup attempt in the US would look like.

    wut?

    if you get pissed off at somebody, haul out a gun with the intention of shooting the person, and fire off shots at that person, it's attempted murder. It doesn't matter if you missed them by 4 feet because you're a lousy shot, and for damn sure it doesn't matter if you're pissed off because of lies. It's still attempted murder

    yesterday was an attempted coup

    agree...if there was a legit attempt to overthrow the government it would have been a whole lot worse with auto weapons, artillery, and military going at each other.
    Insurgency yes...a bunch of red neck trumpers.

    Oh, I have no doubt that some of the yahoos thought they were going to force the Senate to change the EC vote for the Trumpster. It’s just so laughable that anyone would think it would have a chance of succeeding. But, I’m certainly not against prosecution on those grounds if it can be proven that was the intent. God, what a bunch of morons.

    Maybe. It’s going to be pretty interesting to see how much of a plan they. To me it seems a lot like when Cousin Eddie goes off in the RV and brings Clark’s boss back in his pajamas.

    Leftists are lean and poor. Republican fatties die from heart attacks during exciting demonstrations.

    I never rationalized any of this, you are just buying into the ‘us vs. them’ narrative and assigning me a placeholder. Nothing I posted suggests I support what happened, I just disagree with your assertion that it was some sort of covert white nationalist coup. People were rioting because they thought the election was stolen, not because they are a bunch of Jim Crow-era holdouts that've been waiting in the woodwork for 60 years. None of the reasoning supports the reaction. I just find it interesting how the hard-liners on both the left or right seem to flip flop on what is and isn’t acceptable behavior. This is all bullshit. There is no power in a skin color, it’s all about money and influence. When people on both sides realize this they will stop being tricked by the media into rioting and fighting their own neighbors while politicians and billionaires gain more power.

    Did you see the wad of zip tie cuffs that were found on someone in the capitol? What do you think they were planning to do with those?

    There is a picture of her with a Don't Tread on Me Flag in the protest before the riot.

    When I see Confederate traitor flags and t shirts saying six million weren't enough it's not a stretch to call them white supremacists and racists.
