I recall being in a rage, which has not ebbed much. Nazis got nothin' but nerve to speak up just six months later.

I remember being incredibly anxious about January 6.

Normally I would ignore that comment, in keeping with Ming's OP desire:

Consider this the place to post news stories that have nothing do with global pandemics, politics, racial tensions, and all those other depressing stories out there...

But I'll make an exception for this bullsh1t.

Jan. 6 in DC was totally an insurrection, Berz. We watched it on live TV. Listened and watched the build-up for a solid month. There was nothing grass-roots about it.

It may not have been well organized. It may have failed to overturn the election. But it was definitely an insurrection.

[Berzerker]

it was neither armed or an insurrection, he wouldn't have gotten 8 months if it was

"Kremlin papers appear to show Putin’s plot to put Trump in White House"

the author is Luke Harding, the guy who was spreading Steele dossier BS like the pee tape.

So, if you want to participate in an armed insurrection in Washington DC, remember it could COST YOU YOUR LIFE!!! Or, 2/3 of a year of it if you're white!
The last idiot who tried something like this in Canada was shot dead by the sergeant-at-arms... and that was only seven years ago.

Hehe, who'd have thunketh?

Trump's 4 yrs sparked lotsa :HappyPutin: moments

Trump fanboys (and Russia) can still deny the above, of course, as fakenews (T) and "anti-russian propaganda" (P), so we will never get an official admission.

But it's no question Russia profited from the Trump chaos.

Actually, the story says "as many as" 64 wounds -- not that it makes any difference.

[Uncle Sparky]

Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns... but what if they are both bad guys? Or both good guys? Or both somewhat morally ambiguous? Or both good, but with vastly different definitions of 'good', like a 'good' Trump loving Evangelical, and a 'good' transsexual union shop steward?

[giblets]

It's too bad he didn't have a gun to fire back. Their bullets would have collided in mid-air and cancelled each other out.

[Uncle Sparky]

I thought only military bases and Trump rallies were 2nd amendment free zones.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Good thing it's a Gun Free Zone.

Good thing it's a Gun Free Zone.
