Trump supporters have turned Washington DC into scenes one is more used to seeing in third world country coups. Completely absurd, the Capitol being stormed by these semi-terrorists is one of the most insane things I've seen in quite a while, at least in a (so-called) developed country. It’s complete fucking chaos right now. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,881 Posted January 6, 2021 #7582 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Reports of 'an armed standoff at the House front door'. Jeez, House of Cards writers would see the scenario be thrown in the trash and deemed too unrealistic.

Typical US drama bullshit. Then again Douglas MacArthur and George Patton didn't suffer any backlash for siding with Hoover during 1932 Washington riots If this was 2021 MacArthur's and Patton's military careers would be over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army Only someone who doesn't know history would consider today's actions as somehow important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, those progressive liberals want to clamp down on police authority so obviously anarchists will rise when the system gets weaker. Besides USA upholds gun laws from 18th century so my example is totally fresh in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more about the photo, which says enough by itself.
