Anyone else see mentioning's of smeared poo somewhere in the capital? They were talking about it on Reddit.

It's just so absolutely depressing how far off the deep end so many people have gone. My FB is full of people saying saying crazy stuff and sharing meme after meme meant to lie, deceive, and fire them up. The ability of a large group of people to think rationally has been compromised. The mob is her...

VA Governor sending VA Army National guard and state troopers to DC

Ted Cruz is such a joke.

Walk out in the street and commit self-immolation for my crimes?

Haha close enough. My only slight bonus point is that he breaking from the party to do it...I have some respect for that. The party(ies) wield too much power for me...that's all. We're close enough to the same page...

Or maybe not enough power? I've seen good arguments for both.

I feel bad for those police officers. What a job to have to do.

I mean... how many people saw this coming? I was dreading today based off what I read and see online. I don't know how the capital building wasn't prepared for this.

To me McConnell's greatest contribution to the degradation of our government was pushing big money into politics from anonymous sources. Money, money, money. Citizens United was not a good thing for a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

My cousin is there and said it was a group of about a hundred and the "storming" lasted like 15 minutes and is now over.

That tweet seemed a little over the top and alarmist to me. Just trying to get the views with a catchy headline again.

So the point of this is to count the electoral votes. Any objection should be that these are not the actual votes sent by the state government? Is that right? They shouldn't be debating whether or not a state's election was valid. Arizona sent their votes and they are just making sure that said vote...

McConnell tells Cruz et al to knock it off. https://twitter.com/ChadPergram/status/1346838927412441088 Why is it in private? Say it in public. The only way the Republicans can win the presidency in the near future is through the electoral college. It seems like a dangerous game to play for them to ...

I know this wasn't directed at me but I feel like a lot of it relates to me I didn't vote. I've never voted. I don't even know where to go to register to vote. I'm not proud of it. I'll be honest with people when they ask me but I don't wear it like a badge of honr the reasons as to why I don't vot...

Mitch is probably the most evil person in government in my eyes. I wish nothing but terrible things for him. I don't know if 'evil' is the right word. I think at this point in history our legislative assembly is just paralyzed. They don't really function anymore. Obama had the house and the senate ...

Is that a senate thing or a house thing? Do democrats really think Mitch is worse than Pelosi? I would consider them to both be equally repulsive representations of what is wrong with American politics today.

Hope I'm qualified to make that post.

Not yet, but it will. While those are some of the most culturally visible manifestations, the postmodernist philosophy runs much deeper than that. Postmodernism is obtuse and difficult to understand, and some parts of it are even contradictory. But there are some comment tents that can be discerned...

If only a brilliant musical satirist had predicted this behavior.

Has there been anything the government humans have touched that they haven't completely FUBAR'd?

These people are just as crazy as the MAGA truthers on the far Right. And there are tons of them in academia and state and local government. It's this weird changing/rewriting history thing (which is a hallmark of oppressive regimes). False. There is room to debate things like this. Lincoln is one ...

Say, "Trans women aren't actually women" to those on the left and watch a huge portion of them deny easily observable facts. Shyster, to me, what we call trans people is far less of an issue than believing that the President of the United States was born in Kenya when there is overwhelming evidence...

PS, if anything, the media has been extremely soft on the Dems, far more than the republicans. I don't think there really is a comparison to be made here. One side of the isle is MUCH more crazy than the other side right now. Sure there are crazy lefties but I don't see the wholesale assault on tru...

I've been recoding jeopardy for the last month or so just in case I get it too, lol.
