I'm not saying Poli Sci isn't a legit field, but it _is_ a seriously stupid name for whatever it is they do. Political Studies would probably be better, if less prestigious-sounding.
- Politics isn't Science, no matter how much Political Scientists wish it so. There is no testable hypothesis around metaphysical crap like "abortion bad" or "Big Government = Tyranny".
I guess my analogy doesn't really work for that reason.
In my defense I've been drinking pretty steadily since 4pm PST and haven't let up yet 7 hours later.
I promise you the Fascist MAGA's will try to martyr this woman.
Threads like this only indicate there will be civil war at some point in this country. Stock up on your guns. You're gonna need them.
Why? Are you that excited to kill your fellow Americans?Threads like this only indicate there will be civil war at some point in this country. Stock up on your guns. You're gonna need them.
So if they'd reached that part of the building in numbers, and not backed off, there might have been a lot more use of lethal force?
In part I'm wondering because it seems like a clue as to what the 'plan' was, insofar as they had a plan (maybe a subset of the rioters did?). Of course she might just have gotten over-hyped on the adrenaline and not known what she was trying to do. Though that would surprise me given she was a miltiary veteran.
No. I you are a member of alt right, far right, anti govt groups and QAnon your days are numbered. The full weight of the DOJ will be used during the Biden administration to identify arrest and try these individuals.Threads like this only indicate there will be civil war at some point in this country.

There was a plan to detain Congressman and the VP. There’s audio of it.
Surely! When discussing whether a political platform supporting trickle-down economics works, it's fuzzy because there's evidence it does work - to enrich the wealthy - which is the goal of it in the first place. And so on with 2A, abortion, federalism, etc. Results of these political stances are fuzzy because there's little evidence either way.
However, when discussing whether there was widespread voter fraud, the claims are asserted without evidence, but there's ample evidence to reject them. That which is asserted without evidence can be rejected without reason. But even though that should be the case, the claims of fraud not only cannot be proven by facts or evidence, but have been tested by multiple parties and proven false -- is therefore rejected. It's no different than me claiming that an oak tree has green leaves in Texas, but blue leaves in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. It is asserted without evidence, cannot be proven by facts or evidence, and has been tested by multiple parties and proven false.

It won't be. Sorry, but America will kick the can down the road yet again. We'll do a bit of a dog and pony show and not much really will happen, and America will lose all interest in actually giving a shit to the point that even bringing it up will sour people. We've seen this over and over and over.
There wasn't a lack of security. They let Trump's death cult in.
Maybe this will get me banned, but a day later I still wish more nazis would have been killed yesterday. You can bet there would be dozens of bodies strewn around the capitol if hundreds of BLM protesters breached the capitol to overthrow the government. As it stands now there is nothing going to happen in response. No 25th amendment, there has been no impeachment, and these fucking nazis know they'll never be held accountable for their violence. They just got to fucking walk out like nothing happened after trying to overthrow our government yesterday!
And NONE of that justifies more killing.
All that would have done is make things exponentially worse. By advocating violence all your are doing is blurring the lines between yourself and the mob.
I'm no bible-thumper but in this case truer words were never spoken ... violence begets violence.
I'm advocating protecting the federal government from being overthrown. It would have been nice to see some consequences come from the failed coup yesterday. Since there were none, I shudder to think what January 20th is going to be like.

I'm no bible-thumper but in this case truer words were never spoken ... violence begets MORE violence... you REALLY wanted to wake up today to 100's of dead cops AND rioters?
The rioters brought guns and zip ties and left bombs. You think they were just going to have a friendly group debate with Pelosi, Ilhan-Omar, Schiff, etc if they had caught one?
Of course not .... all I'm saying is that open-war in the streets shouldn't be our goal here. That would have been the short-term result if the cops who were on-scene at the time tried to kick ass and take names.
Yesterday was terrorist appeasement. How can they not feel empowered today?
Guns with live, lethal ammo should've been used to protect our nation yesterday. Instead police ran like cowards and we are insanely lucky we didn't end up with a hostage situation.Of course not .... all I'm saying is that open-war in the streets shouldn't be our goal here.

There were some "professionals" in among that crowd of rioters and being shot is TOO GOOD for them. However the vast majority were brainless minions.

If non-lethals had been used outside, maybe they would've never gotten the inside. If police had responded with lethal force as they were being pushed deeper and deeper into the capital maybe we wouldn't have had insurrectionist sitting in the chamber.
The lack of force could've lead to the kidnapping and killing of Congress members. I don't wish death on any of those people, but when you attempt a violent overthrow of government you should expect violence in return.
I also blame the law for allowing this to happen in the first place. We still don't know who caused such a "light" force here, but it started somewhere and I bet it rolls up to trump.
