SHERWIN says people will be "shocked" by some of the non-public details of things that happened insi (Original Post) MelissaB Jan 2021 OP
Democrats won't be shocked. Trump supporters will call it fake news or blame antifa. nt NoRoadUntravelled Jan 2021 #1
Of course they will, Chainfire Jan 2021 #3
I'm wondering if all of them not wearing masks was an aspect of the attack. Hugin Jan 2021 #6

There's a real history there to be aware of, but yes, Republicans have exaggerated it greatly. mattclearing Jan 2021 #16
It's like "woke" or "politically correct". Originated on the left, but pounced on by conservatives JHB Jan 2021 #19

and it will have no more weight in the courts than the claims of massive voter fraud.

Someone made a great observation several days ago. If they had been Antifa, they would have been wearing masks.....

Bio-terrorism.

It could be argued, the act was pre-meditated. Citing the fact early in the pandemic white supremist groups (some of the same groups who were present on Shithole Tag) were advocating deliberately spreading the virus into vulnerable target populations.

Most of them are inveterate horseshit-swallowers. They think COVID is exaggerated, masks cause CO2 poisoning, etc.

They lapped up every dumbass claim that came down the pike.

What else is funny, is when these yahoos are out with their big guns, they always wear a mask but they object when they are asked to wear one for the rest of their community.

Democrats do not stand for fascism. We are all a bit of antifa.

I and everyone I know, would never pollute our bodies with anything trump related, gadsen flag related or confederate flag related.

I was shocked just by the new videos that came out in the last few days that showed this was so much worse than the original visuals suggested. I can only what new information will come out that we don't yet know.

... in Ukraine, first a failed and foiled "protest" on the Ukrainian capital then they fanned out to the East Ukrainian states and "protested" (aka attacked) those capital buildings.

There's no Russia to help MAGA stupids though here
