    How much of a decapitation strike would it take for Trump to seize control of the military on the 20th? Like, how many people would Trump’s terrorists have to kill or take hostage in the line of succession before some commander can’t figure out who’s supposed to be in charge, starts getting maybe-illegal-but-at-least-it’s-something orders from Trump (maybe indirectly, so it’s less obviously illegal) and gets enough of the local troops to follow that he can stage a proper coup this time. The confusion doesn’t need to last long, only long enough that when the troops realize the magnitude of their treason and the consequences that it would entail, they start supporting Trump outright out of self-preservation. Then they can kill Congress and SCOTUS, and we’re in Nazi America.

    Not something I like having to think about. That it’s remotely imaginable is fucked up.

    He’s deleted the tweet, but he did claim to do this. One wonders where he got the money.

    O'Reilly, you did your part to contribute to all this. :jayzus:

    Still, at least you have the stones to allegedly open your eyes; would that Carlson and Hannity would.

    With all the rioters being named, shamed and fired unemployment numbers will go up...
    How sad, not...
    Also, some people who where in DC and own their own bushiness are losing income and are getting review bombed...
    Let them lose their income through their own stupid behaviour...

    It’s a good reason to not have a safety net. They’ll just starve after fucking themselves over like this. They want to survive they can do so without society’s support.

    agree! Now that we have ways to expose unlawful activity like this, every single protestor that willfully engages in the "riot" portion of a protest should be publicly exposed.
    To be fair the reason for the protest and/or riot is not important - a riot is a riot is a riot IMHO.

    what's the expected "hold" time on these calls? Also can I take my own mug shot for my jail processing? Asking for a friend!

    Parler is being thrown off Amazon Web Services for being unwilling to shut down active calls for violence and conspiracy to commit violence to overthrow the US government.

    Going offline tonight at midnight.

    So naturally members of Parler have called for bombings of AWS data centers, and to start assassinating Amazon delivery drivers.

    Seems about right.

    Amazon has been talking about making deliveries using drones for quite a while.

    The reasons for the riot, the alternatives to riot, the actions taken during the riot and numerous other factors should be considered in judging the morality of a riot.

    Or would you say that the Boston Tea Party, slave rebellions, riots over working conditions are all morally the same as the riots over the election, riots over winning/losing the Super Bowl or some other event, riots over a Black Friday sale, etc.?

    If Clone Hitler took over America

    And oldfella tried to stop him, and got caught, and was about to get executed

    I guess he'd disapprove of a mob showing up to break in to the execution chamber and save his life.

    Order must be maintained!

    just caught this on FB.
    it's being fake attributed to some (R), so I've cut that part.



    “No amount of unity efforts can erase what we've learned about our fellow Americans the past four years.
    No, Biden’s rallies weren’t bigger.
    No, you didn’t see many Biden flags on houses or Biden bumper stickers on cars.
    No, you don’t know a single person on your street or at your church who supports Biden.
    But guess what?
    We’re here.
    Biden’s rallies were small, because people who live in reality don’t want to expose themselves to the virus you continue to downplay or deny.
    We don’t fly Biden flags because we don’t want our houses burned down.
    We don’t put Biden bumper stickers on our cars because we want to avoid becoming targets for road rage.
    We don’t trust you.
    We’ve decided to minimize our interactions with people who cannot be reasoned with. This is for our own safety. In private groups - where you’re not invited - we share our bewilderment of your descent into madness.
    We all have stories about how we’ve cut ties with you, our family and former friends, because we don’t want your hatred poisoning our social media streams. We can’t stand to listen to you vomiting the lies of your cult, day after day. You used to be different. We liked you. But now that we know what was inside your heart all along, we’ve decided you don’t deserve to know about our lives. We’ll skip family reunions, even after we get the vaccine. We’ll make up some excuse just to be polite.
    But in reality, we just don’t feel like sitting around eating potato salad and making small talk with people who have such monstrous beliefs. To all the brothers and aunts and cousins and dads and neighbors out there who just can’t wrap their heads around what this means going forward, know that these scars aren’t going away anytime soon. We won’t be reaching out, and we won’t be mending fences. It’s not up to us to apologize for the wounds you have gleefully inflicted upon us and our friends. You poured the gasoline, you lit the match. You burned this to the ground.
    So if we seem different from now on, I guess we are, in a way. We’ve seen your truth laid bare, and we’re horrified. I hope Trump was worth it.”



    four years of being reminded that so many Trumpies are also heavily armed and willing to force things their way finally happened.

    And so many of you aren't backing off...


    America, land of the fear.

    they pretty much have to be considered the same, unless the people judging the morality of the riot are guaranteed to be fair and unbiased. The court of public opinion shouldn't count when punishments for the rioters are being dished out. Actual by-gosh crimes (local state or federal) committed by the individual rioters should be the focus.
    What I find funny is (if memory serves) because of all the summer rioting Trump got a law passed (or was behind getting it passed) that any damage to Federal property carries a 10 year prison sentence! :doh: Those fuck heads trashing the Capitol might have considered that in their mission risk assessment briefings!

    did he leave a suicide note? If not maybe his family can provide information about his motivation to kill himself.
    I've known a few guys who committed suicide over what I thought was trivial shit, but you never know much about what runs through a guy's head (other than the bullet type) in some cases.

    I'd say that when you're a Republican and even corporate America abandons you, you done fucked up big-time.
