¡No pasarán!

Michigan Capitol has reportedly been stormed.

Sources for the news about the state capitols?

Let's call this by name: It's an attempted fascist coup. Ergo, this is treason.

Coup is a weird way to say riot.

Yeah and Quisling is a weird way to say Sanchez but here we are.

I was watching FOX News all day, and they were being fair and somewhat critical of Trump.  I actually feel that they are the least biased of the Big 3 cable networks during the daytime. But, then, primetime comes and Tucker Carlson comes on...

Please.

Lankford's mealy mouthed speech is going to be typical of the response from the right-wing cabal that led to today's events. Nothing but disdain for him and his craven colleagues.

Not enjoying Sasse's speech at all. Not fit for the moment.

[YPestis25]

Democrats need to find "creative" methods of punishing Trump's supporters moving forward.

HB--169 The Missouri Road Removal Act

Please no.

After today's events, I think we can all find some comfort in Randy Newman.

I'd like to say
A few words
In defense of our country
Whose people aren't bad
Nor are they mean
Now, the leaders we have
While they're the worst that we've had
Are hardly the worst
This poor world has seen

It is funny how the Elves always presents themselves as the revolutionary vanguard, but the street power of the Elves merely amounts to burning down a few goblin tunnels, it is the Orcs which are clearly the revolutionary force, storming Minas Tirith, note how Manwe supported the Fellowship but sent out the eagles against the Nazgul, shows who the real revolutionary faction is and who the establishment is.

"They're just peaceful protesters. All we want is peace. Peace! Peeeaaace!"



🎵 A little piece of Schumer, a little slice of Pence 🎵
🎵 Some pieces of McConnell, Graham, and Adam Schiff, perchance 🎵
🎵 A little slice of Nancy, with some chopped-up Warnock sauce 🎵
🎵 And then some tastes of Harris, Biden, Ossoff, and DeVos! 🎵

I hope you're doing yoga with all that knee jerk contrarianism, I'd hate for you to strain yourself.

Liberals would do well to reflect on this quote by Martin Luther King, there is a lot of truth to it with regard to how many Americans feel.

A riot is the language of the unheard - Martin Luther King

This was an attempted coup though, not a riot.

A coup is the language of the un-catered-to. - Sauron

Now that you've pulled off his disguise, is he going to flee back to Mordor and launch a war to claim by force the dominion he tried and failed to claim by trickery?

Well, the insane politician he's carrying water for might well try to do that after the twentieth, in any case. Guest starring Lindsey Graham as Celebrimbor if we're lucky, Mitt Romney as Celebrimbor if we're not.

Can't wait to see who plays Ar-Pharazon.
