Right, so the state of emergency, the curtailment of civil liberties and political censorship will now continue indefinitely, as I suspect was always the real plan. The new normal.

You can believe as you will but yeah, I think they were discouraged by the overwhelming security presence. They will be back though.

Our could it be that most of the people who attended events on the 6th were never violent to begin with, outside of a few extremists?

The news is reporting that antifa terrorists just destroyed the Dem party HQ in Portland. Didn't they tell us these were mostly peaceful protestors expressing their displeasure with the Trump administration and it would all magically stop when Burden took office?

Haha President Burden. I like that one!

Right. I must have been watching a football game in Liverpool.

I had to look up the Portland business. They are just as stupid and there is no excuse for either set of thugs.

The ones who broke in the capitol were only a small fraction compared to the numbers of the people at the rally that day.

Somewhere around 40,000 I heard ... only a few images show how large the crowd really was

I hear Qanon now thinks Trump is a traitor and ....oh whatever.

What a sad lonely inauguration. No people cheering while the motorcade took him to the White House. Many national guards removed because of hateful texts. Half the country thinks you are a fraud. Armed Extremists trying to get into the inauguration crowd. Military doesn’t respect you. But that’s what you hurt when you rig a system.

Trump never had that problem.

Best thing Biden can do is keep walking into the distance. Wait... he may do that and get lost!

That’s ok, the masters arm is never far from its puppet.

"On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd asked White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, “[W]hy the president asked the White House press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time and utter a falsehood?” Conway responded: “Don’t be so overly dramatic about it, Chuck. What — You’re saying it’s a falsehood. And they’re giving Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that.”

To be clear, there are not “alternative facts.” There are certainly alternative interpretations of the facts, or alternative data sets, or, in this case, potentially different crowd-size estimates from experts. But a “fact,” in the words of Merriam-Webster is “something that has actual existence” or “a piece of information presented as having objective reality.”

An alternative to that, as Todd pointed out, is a falsehood."

I think that was deliberate.

Buddahaid · 01-20-21, 11:51 PM

Oh really? Do you expect anyone to really believe that kind of information can be completely suppressed. That verges on conspiracy myths that the moon landings didn't happen despite thousands of people being involved and keeping quite for decades having to happen. As it was so rightly put, you can't even keep a surprise birthday party quiet with thirty guests.

Fine, call it 400,000 and just a small fraction. I'm okay with that. Call it one million and I'm even more okay with that. What's one percent of 400,000?

Buddahaid · 01-21-21, 12:25 AM

On Stephen Bannon. I'd like to read the actual pardon as I don't see how one can be pardoned without being convicted first. It's tantamount to an admission of guilt.
