Thurston County you say? Sounds about white.

Named for the Oregon Territory's first congress delegate. Who built his career trying to exclude "persons of color" from the territory.

oathkeepers seem to have gone offline. looks like their hosting nuked them as well.

always thought them and the 3%ers were the more serious people. recruiting from law enforcement/ex military and those weird constitutional sheriff types. Think they were the ones with ear pieces at the Capitol.

Looks like the Trump death cult takes another life - 'Chris Stanton Georgia, a Georgia man who was charged as part of the Capitol insurrection, has been found to have killed himself, officials say.'

1 in 60 out of 22.9 million infected

No, that's not true. The correct statement is that 1 person has been reported among 60 reported as being infected.

The actual fatality rate is likely lower, perhaps 0.5-1% in the US; because both deaths and infected are under-reported (you know that testing have been lacking, right?) - and additionally we are in the middle of it so some are reported as infected but haven't died yet.
However, even if "only" 0.5% of the US population died that would still be more than a million dead.

He literally gives no shits about this stuff.

He reportedly was only concerned that the insurgents looked 'low class'.

He loves the poorly educated. He's just never taken a close look at the crowds he draws, unsurprisingly.

He reportedly was only concerned that the insurgents looked 'low class'.

He was also "excited" about what was going on and wondering why no one else was.

He was probably thinking "Yes! These people are going to help me overturn the election result (shame they look low class though)" while everyone was thinking "My God some terrorists have stormed the capitol".

I remember reading something about how there were still a small group of people surrounding Trump feeding him lies. I'm sure they will pretend that they were a voice of reason once they are on the stand.

Good on Airbnb for this.

You know what they should do now? Work with the National Guard to get all those deployed troops into the empty Airbnb's and not sleeping in the bloody Capitol building.

Oh shit, does she still have her podcast or whatever? I completely forgot about her after the heir-apparent to the most valuable hour of television imploded in her post-Fox career where she had to like, actually do something other than complain about liberals and screech about the need for maternity leave...after years of attacking maternity leave, and only after she had a child herself and got to personally experience why it's necessary.

Fuck, can we go back to ignoring that she ever exists?

Tuning in now and then, but the Republicans are going with 'Let's just forget about it'.

Vets found to be participating in this should have their benefits stripped. Seems unlikely that any will face UCMJ

Surprising nobody, sentient fecal matter Ken Paxton, AG for Texas, is pro-insurrection and pro-riot. As long as it's his people.

Rep. Cawthorne just admitting to bringing a gun to the House Floor, which is still illegal.

Man, we don't even need law enforcement, these guys are just publicly admitting to their own crimes.

The impeachment proceedings are a circus. The Dems are naturally staying on point: We need to do this because no one is above the law. They point out this is being done quickly because its some damned evident what happened because its such public information.

GOP though...

They are making outright threats and not even hiding it. Some have said that impeachment will lead to more violent protests. But the main point they're sticking to, is stating that if you impeach Trump, that they will constantly try to impeach democrats for anything they ever say. Over and over again they're making that threat that if you impeach Trump then they will make life an even bigger living hell as they invoke articles of impeachment against every dem for things they've said in the past.

If impeaching Trump leads to more violence, that only proves everyone right about the violent nature of the Trumpster cultists. "If you keep pointing to our violence, and calling us violent, then we're going to beat you up!!!"
