imagine thought, if even a very few of them were pros, just what more damage they could have done. there would have been major blood spilt if that were the case, rather than the ragtag mob of morons they were.

Not to worry. The Republicans are toast. Migrants from Mexico are going to make Texas and Arizona into blue states and then it's game over. They will become a permanent minority unable to win the Presidency.

↑ It may have more to do with a schism in the party based on how they prioritize their philosophies -- it is going to come down to an internal fight between the "Get Re-Elected" camp and the "Own the Left" camp -- and neither side will win.

But that is just my opinion, by the way...

Heard on this morning's Sunday-School Zoom conference:

"I belong to no organized political party ... I am a Republican."

:lol:

the fatal flaw of the democratic party is that they are a mix of oil and water.

I was watching a Four Corners documentary on our national broadcaster the ABC. The investigative journalist Liz Ferguson was among the foreign journalist who followed the insurrection in live. One of the more interesting things she picked up on her microphone was MAGAs using military language organising ways to kill congressmen. As with the Charlottesville riots the FBI appear to have underestimated the presence of both military and para-military with military training among the rioters.

In addition to pipe bombs and other improvised weapons, there appeared an organised plan to get the US congressmen to be herded into the underground bunkers (which was supposed to be secret but they seemed to have prior intel) where some of the MAGAs had gas which they were going to pump into the vents to suffocate the congressmen.

According to Liz Ferguson the role of police officer Eugene Goodman saved many US senator's lives in drawing the MAGAs away from where the congressmen were.

The documentary made it clear that in addition to serving/ex military that they were using intel that could only have been passed to them from members of the GOP.

So not only was this a professional job but republicans might have collaborated in an attempt to assassinate sitting members of the US senate which (if my interpretation is correct) is an act of terrorism to possibly incite a civil war.

they'll still get away with it just like the corrupt tycoons did of the "businessmen's plot" a century earlier. the 1% here are really above the law.

They have barely arrested a fraction of those in Washington. According to four corners estimates put the number of MAGAs around 10,000. It's a miracle they didn't get to murder any politicians.

our corrupt culture has generated so many sociopaths, it can't last much longer as a nation of free men. we're circling the drain.

I've posted elsewhere the MAGAs are allying themselves with far right groups following Jan 6 to create the patriot party

According to the Internet, Buffalo Hat Man has been moved to a different jail where they will cook food more to his preference than what his previous facility was doing for him.

I'm guess if he was a dreadlocked blackman they wouldn't be so accommodating compared to this "delightful cherub"
