Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 1)

Three elements in some kind of mix - ineptitude, Trumpist sympathies, and the systemic racism effect.

A friend of mine who was a MP (military police) was commenting that he would need 100 trained men to stop all that, starting with tear gas on the steps. But there were clearly instructions to treat those protestors with kid gloves, and then it was too late.

Senator Doug Mastriano is being called on to resign after pictures emerged of him being part of the riot. PA Representative Brian Sims has gone on twitter to accuse him of being “heavily involved”.

Mastriano went to White House and tested positive for Covid when he got there a couple of weeks ago. He was trying to overturn the PA election results.

First, they serve roadkill at the Hyatt? I bet it’s delish.

Second, there must be some kind of gun screening to get into that inner section of DC. Hard to believe 100K fuckwits simply decided not to bring their guns. Thankful for it. You see some of those scenes from the summer with the good old boys and their AR-15s. Just a gun or two among them, and the response would have been a bloodbath.
