I wonder how long it will take before someone starts setting up Riot Day souvenir t-shirt stands outside of government buildings.

My top picks would be

"It's only funny until someone gets hurt... Then it's hilarious!"

"My doctor told me to start killing people. Well, not in those exact words, he said reduce stress which is pretty much the same thing."

Anything that appears to be massive dried blood stains.

Let's check the history....

A teenage Trumpster crosses state lines to kill BLM protestors.

A group of rightwing twits plot to kidnap, and presumably kill, a governor over COVID-19 precautions.

An unhinged "conservative" nutcase with a van full of child porn makes clear his intent to assasinate Biden.

That's not to mention Trump's inflammatory rhetoric for the past four years. All of this hand-waved and dismissed, and the blame shifted to BLM activists who were protesting against police violence agaisnt POCs (which is apparently the same thing as forming a mob to lynch the vice president and taking a huge sh_t on democracy).

The mask has slipped. So much of what has been tauted as "conservatism" is just fascism. It's especially entertaining after being on WP after the 2016 election and listening to non-stop chatter about the "degeneracy of the left." Will people ever learn? Only time will tell.


But...but..but, they are all fine people.

Army probing officer Emily Rainey who led group to deadly DC riots
Quote:
An Army psychological warfare officer is being investigated for busing people more than 300 miles to attend the Trump rally that turned into deadly riots at the Capitol, Army officials have confirmed.

Capt. Emily Rainey, 30, confirmed to the Associated Press that she led more than 100 people to Washington, DC, on Wednesday as part of a North Carolina protest group she heads called Moore County Citizens for Freedom.

While her commanders at Fort Bragg are reviewing her involvement in the rally, Rainey said she was fully up front about her plans to go — and insisted her group was not involved in storming the Capitol.


The army has promoted a 30 year old woman to the rank of captain who is trained in psychological warfare and she is a open card carrying MAGA ?? I mean really?

Do people actually carry cards identifying themselves as MAGA members?

But did she show a MAGA card?  Do MAGA cards even exist?

Evidence thus far (just watch any of his videos) appears to indicate that yes, he is irredeemably stupid.

One of the ways to convince someone to turn themselves in is to let them know that someone close to them could turn them in instead.  It happens often with small-time street punks; it happens with big-time criminals, too.

Some people turn themselves in hoping to collect the reward to fund their defense in a criminal trial.

Parody of the Mcarthy era belief (also existed in Australia) that lefties were "card carrying" communists. I just turned the tables.

I have heard the phrase before multiple ways, some ways where a card of some sort actually exist such as card carrying member of the NRA and in others card carrying member was just an expression.
