It started opening at the end of 2019, and was to have its completed grand opening in the Spring of last year. A grand opening, after being proposed in the year Bush invaded Iraq and construction was started the following year. 16 years of delays, and COVID-19 arrives, the place is cursed. CNN just projected the Democrat won the second Georgia seat. Democrat majority by virtue of the Presidency, secured? Hard to say the Senate is "secure" ever again after what's happening RIGHT NOW.

ping Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Trump with a video message to the "protestors" on twitter. First thing he mentions is, of course, the StOlEn ElEcTiOn. Jesus fucking christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it exactly that makes the police systemically racist and rightist? Can't be excessive gun rights if the police-reactionary allegiance is true in other countries as well.

epilepsyduck Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A lot of city cops aren't from the cities they police, so that's one contributing factor. It's also just the kind of job that attracts a certain kind of dreadful personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who join an armed gang tend to have violent and authoritarian tendecies themselves. Not to mention the 'good cops' get bullied by their peers in the force. Not only an american thing, happens in my country as well (and probably everywhere) were we keep 'discovering' Nazis in the police every day. And those who try to do something against it get suspended or similiar. Even in my super leftist city that's the case Edited January 6, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It would be nice if Trump would spend ONE speech/Twitter video (lol) not talking about how he’s better than everyone else or that the election was stolen, like when people are literally getting shot. But no. How self centered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Well guys, it happened, the Confederacy got to Capitol Hill.

Saint Rubenio Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I don't usually post here, but... Well, I just want to say, my heart goes out to anyone here who lives in DC. Or, you know what? In the US in general. This is a disgrace. At this point the best I can hope for is that this is resolved quickly and that as few people as possible lose their lives to this disaster. Don't really have much of substance to say. Just... I feel so sorry for you, Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're declaring secession? Yes! Try seceding! Do it. We all know secession is evil and in a few weeks the new President backed by a clear majority of the American people will be able to put down with the military the existential threat we know cannot be allowed to endure. I give my approval for a Second Reconstruction if that is unfortunately necessary to remedy the underlying ills that allowed for such terrible violence in the first place. -As if. That kind of thinking, that of someone who would like a childlike notion of Good vs. Evil to be played out as a simple, easily won battle, after which all is happily ever after in the real world, is as it sounds. A total fiction. This ain't going to be as "easy" as the Civil War. Edited January 6, 2021 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President of the United States of America. The expectations come from that title, not so much the man behind it. Although those expectations might have been dramatically lowered, lol. 1 minute ago, Saint Rubenio said: I don't usually post here, but...

I feel so sorry for you, Americans. I quite appreciate the thought! The sympathies are enough, I think that’s of substance. In theory, it should be resolved by 6 pm. Theoretically. I do recognize that it’s mostly a fantasy for people who stormed the capitol to listen to the curfew rules, but if their god Trump said so, maybe...

Etrurian emperor Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You know, Biden has a reputation of being milquetoast, but him returning after his speech had ended when someone yelled ''Are you worried about your inauguration'', and then responding with ''I am not concerned about my security, my safety, or my inauguration'' was actually a bit baddass.
