Way to understate things, NYT.
That’s not “drama”, that’s a bloody coup attempt.

Almost as if leftist violence happens by force, while for the right it’s just the default setting.

Not that it matters to Cruz, or really even to Romney, who as I said yesterday, was perfectly fine with riding that tiger himself for decades before it bit him.

I’m willing to cut them a bit of slack for forgetfulness given that armed fascists were storming the building.

Hopefully getting tackled and disarmed by AOC, who’s a much badder Amazon than Boebert.

Doesn’t Ben-Gay burn, too? Maybe Preparation H is a good bet, though.

There is a subredit called /r/insaneparler and people there have been posting screen shots of Proud Boy members talking about how they were planning to cosplay as ANTIFA today.
The better screen shots are the ones where Proud Boys are now claiming that the police are actually ANTIFA.

After 911 - how is the Capitol building not hardened to be bulletproof and bomb resistant & able to prevent entry?

The way Trump supporters are being treated by the police compared to BLM is quite the study in contrasts, isn’t it? And the end result is they just let these douchebags storm the capitol building and stop the process.
Based on the Proud Boy/cop clash last night, it’s clear what “blue lives matter” always meant - “We approve of how you treat brown people.” Nothing more, nothing less.
Trump was blaming Antifa for… the clashes between the Proud Boys and the cops last night. And apparently the Proud Boys would clash with the cops, then go around the corner and claim the injuries they received were the result of Antifa… I was worried that hot-headed lefties would go out and get into confrontations with the Proud Boys, providing Trump with an excuse to declare martial law, but apparently the right was capable of setting up the situation all by themselves.
And the other conservative predictions that Trump would concede gracefully and his supporters would accept it. Which, to be fair, were clearly hilarious bullshit even before the election.
With rubber bullets and pepperballs, anyways. This is the kind of situation where they’re actually appropriate.
It ain’t over yet.

You can harden something all you want, but ultimately it will still fall if the person holding the keys unlocks the door.
