          You seriously think Pence could have walked through this crowd and not have been killed? I would give Pence a better chance walking through the Capitol Hill gang than these guys...

              Just get it out there first, quietly retract it later.

                Pence didn't walk through that crowd. Just like he didn't walk through the crowd at the Capitol. Unlike the people in your video they broke the fuck in.

                      Honestly I call it too familiar language and now we have a perfect opportunity to put it to an end forever.

                      It is completely intolerable and everyone who does it should pay a high price for it.

                        That's an extremely good perspective to have.

                        This is all starting to get weird.

                        A lot of people shared around information about the Guantanamo Bay torture stuff when it was going around. Which, fair enough. But if, right after the ISIS beheading of Alan Henning, your response is to bring up the Guantanamo Bay incidents and that's all you wanted to talk about, my response to that is going to be very different.

                        What is just so fucking important about proving that the other side is worse? What kind of medal do you get with that, how is that better than taking melatonin?

                        Please love yourself.

                          As opposed to the game of "t3h liberalllls are wooorse!" because that fucking helps everything. At the very least it makes me feel better about my own side and that's what's important. Circle those wagons.

                          Let's count all the riots in the last 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years - take your pick.

                          Then let's assign blame to either left or right.

                          The right has no chance.

                          Without actually counting, I'd say the ratio is over 50-1, maybe as much as 200-1, just a guess.

                          The left is way worse.

                          And you know it.

                          This exercise would be like comparing the regular flu to the wu-flu.

                            Right. So the argument is that the “right” has riot and insurrection credits to cash in.

                              1. This isn’t about trying to make one side come off better or worse. This is just pointing out the hypocrisy regarding views of the two two transitions, the threat of violence this week is not unprecedented if we see violence on Wednesday it won’t be something brand new, but a result of seeds sewn 4 years ago.

                              2. The number one difference between the right wing criminals from January 6th and the left wing criminals from 17, and earlier this year? The right wing asshats partially succeeded and the left wing asshats didn’t. The left shouldn’t be let off just because they failed. There is no ethical or moral superiority for failure. Their intentions were remarkably similar.

                                For me the peaceful transition of power issue has always been a sitting president refusing to accept his loss and vowing never to concede.

                                  1. This isn’t about trying to make one side come off better or worse. This is just pointing out the hypocrisy regarding views of the two two transitions, the threat of violence this week is not unprecedented if we see violence on Wednesday it won’t be something brand new, but a result of seeds sewn 4 years ago.

                                  2. The number one difference between the right wing criminals from January 6th and the left wing criminals from 17, and earlier this year? The right wing asshats partially succeeded and the left wing asshats didn’t. The left shouldn’t be let off just because they failed. There is no ethical or moral superiority for failure. Their intentions were remarkably similar.

                                    To me it's weird when unprecedented events like this happen (that is, a violent invasion of the Capitol that delays an electoral process) and the most common topic of conversation isn't "this kind of violence needs to stop everywhere" but "count the hypocrisies."

                                    I don't understand why the latter message is that much more important.

                                        @aqua-letifer One partial reason is because not sufficiently calling out or holding to account leftist riots contributed to the bullshit but we saw January 6th.

                                        It’s helped established the rules of the game so to speak. “Hey, as long as we’re in a big enough crowd, we can do what the fuck ever!”

                                        If this is what it takes for all violent protests to get dealt with correctly...fine.

                                        But I really don’t appreciate having the world*at large nodding in agreement that the one fucking time a bunch of conservatives go ape shit represents us as a whole...While the dozens of such incidents from protesters on the left don’t.

                                        *(Not you specifically...I know you’re brighter than that)

                                          I’m not really that concerned about the bumbling insurrectionists or the inept CHAZ zone occupiers. (Though that was messed up)

                                          They should both have the book thrown at them.

                                          I was disgusted by the elected local officials that supported CHAZ. (There’s some real idiots here in Seattle)

                                          I’m disgusted by the national elected officials that give cover to this “stop the steal” bullshit.
