I was astonished shots weren't fired.
Wait till you see the footage. It was weird.

So would you rather I still blindly vote republican in 2020?
On a personal note, my feelings on this are likely clouded by having been born in a country where 25 years ago, an actual genocide(legally speaking) happened. Very few people today will speak in support of actual genocide, but like you said, things don't happen in a vacuum. What part was played by those who weren't pulling the trigger? You can't just say we need to create a path for people to walk back stuff. You said it. It had an effect. You can't undo it.
Today, a coup attempt happened. There's no if or buts about it. It was just a very pathetic coup attempt, but many coup attempts are like that. That doesn't make them less serious. Republicans in Senate and the House who have been parroting ******** about how the election was stolen are just as culpable as Trump. If this was a coup attempt, they need to be charged with sedition. Words are not just words, they matter. I know that part of the whole appeal of Trump is his saying ridiculous stuff and then walking it back to some degree or another, but I hope people haven't become that desensitized to it all. There has to be some accountability. Legal for the politicians and moral for those who elected them. People who voted for Trump, whether in 2016 or 2020 are morally culpable, just like people who voted for politicians who committed genocide are morally culpable. At some point, you have to put ethics above "unity" and "togetherness."
As I understand it they aren't well equipped for this type of thing. I'm not sure why there wasn't maximum beefed up security... this could have been a very very dark day. Like some Dark Knight ****.I was wondering why the Capitol police seemed to just let them in as if it was previously agreed upon.
Been watching it since i got up, maybe the presence of TV cameras stopped shooting or if nobody was willing to give the order to secure the building and open fire.Wait till you see the footage. It was weird.

So my favorite band is called SOJA. In one of their songs they have the line "without forgiveness how can any war cease"So basically, the solution is the same as the last time you guys had a civil war. Forgive and forget, and hope the guys who lost aren't too pissed? Not sure that worked out well last time.
I'm honestly a different more informed person than I was 5 and 10 years ago... but yeah... i get why you would hate someone who considers they could be wrong and decides to get behind what they feel is right. That sounds like someone who truly sucks.It would be more honest. Trump is the exact same guy right now he was 5, 10, and 30 years ago.
Again, I don't like converts.
My wife and I favorite show lol. And yes I'm a bit ashamed to say that.Should be like MTV's the challenge... I'd even support no concession speech... just TJ Lavin saying "this ends your time in the White House... take care" They grab their duffle bag and walk onto a plane.
Action and Congress... those words don't work in the same sentence.There has to be action tonight by Congress. Now is the time.
Embrace it... My life's goal is to hear TJ say "you killed it". Wife and I started watching long ago and still watch... we literally ask ourselves why we still like it... but we do.My wife and I favorite show lol. And yes I'm a bit ashamed to say that.

As always, Obama kills it. Dude knows how to speak/write that's for sure.Trump needs to be removed from office immediately.

So you saw Wes get hit in the face with the shoe that CT was discarding?Embrace it... My life's goal is to hear TJ say "you killed it". Wife and I started watching long ago and still watch... we literally ask ourselves why we still like it... but we do.

I think there has to be forgiveness or things never end.
I'm not sure it was a conspiracy but I think the guys were likely armed. I think it was self preservation. The patient approach is what should be taken but when it is BLM and the law enforcement feels threatened they are more likely to shoot?Been watching it since i got up, maybe the presence of TV cameras stopped shooting or if nobody was willing to give the order to secure the building and open fire.
Any time TJ cackles I am in.So you saw Wes get hit in the face with the shoe that CT was discarding?
Maybe the best moment in television history. Especially how the production team put music to it and cut it within the show with the reactions of TJ and the other challengers and whatnot
I actually recorded my wife and I watching that scene (after we had already watched it like 3 times and rewound it) and sent it to my sister (she is a big fan as well) so she could see our reaction. We were laughing so so hard even after we had already seen it numerous times.
Classic
