Capitol Insurrection / rebellion thread

[Cthulhu 2020]

I hate it can't we just find some barren wasteland and send all the fascists there so they can be happy oppressing each other?

Ah wait we tried that with the Oregon Territories and that didn't turn out too hot, rofl.

I was about to say "How could a bunch of white rednecks all oppress each other? What would they find to quarrel over?"

But then I realized this could be a multi-country effort. Send all the middle eastern terrorists to this barren land, send the far right Americans, send every other far right faction in every country over there, let them all duke it out for whose genes (or gods) are (supposedly) superior.

So does the turtle have the guts to actually vote for it, or is he just saying it behind closed doors?

Trump is on his way out. On the one hand, with Trump no longer at the steering wheel of the executive branch, I feel some Republicans might actually find their balls from Trump's purse and vote to impeach. On the other hand, some of them might view it as too dangerous a move to piss off the base. Even the ones from "safe" states. ESPECIALLY the ones from safe states. The redder the state, the more likely Y'all Qaeda is going to just roll up and attach Mitch McConnell to a gallows for voting to remove Trump at the last hour.

Everyone did you hear? Security checks like metal detectors and wands are hampering our constitutional rights. According to Gym Jordan your freedoms are being repressed whenever you went to a stadium to watch sports or a concert or when you get on an airplane, back in the before time.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a top Trump defender, said the added security was hampering his constitutional rights.

Oh, did you also hear that metal detectors and security wands mean you're a criminal and that we now live in Pelosi's communist wonderland. According to Rep Debbie Lesko, by the way can Debbie be another moniker for a Karen it really rolls off the tounge like Karen, school children are criminals in a communist wonderland because America did nothing and we can't do anything else.

"For members of Congress to enter the floor of the U.S. House, we now have to go through intense security measures, on top of the security we already go through," she said. "These new provisions include searches and being wanded like criminals. We now live in Pelosi's communist America!"

Funny how a bunch of middle aged conservatives are more delicate than like... most American high schoolers.

Oh no, Congress now knows what it's like to live in perpetual fear of a mass shooting because of their inaction on gun laws. /s

Can somebody tell Jim(well, I live in Ohio, I might just have to call him) that having to go through a metal detector or wanded is not a freedom restriction. Maybe he thought that they said he couldn't wand(or watch it at least) some boys and that is why he is complaining.

No it’s not. Getting shot in the face is far more deadly. I’m not saying don’t wear a mask. You just used a really bad example.

I'm sure that's a consolation to the 381000 Americans who have died of Covid and the hundreds of thousands who spent weeks on ventilators and the millions who are still recovering.

[Belize]

The Republican Party is a treasonous group of terrorists.

[Felya]

You spoke too soon

Capitol ‘rioter who wanted to shoot Nancy Pelosi’s noggin’ arrested

First:

Umm, sir, the noggin is not the face. /s

Second... there is no bottom with these people... you set the bar low as you can... and they be like... hold my beer and give me a shovel.

To be honest, is anyone actually surprised that Republicans, who are now trying to call for Democrats to calm down as they frenzied for months over faux election fraud claims, are backing down in such hypocritical ways? Honestly, at any point, if you pressed Cawthorn on the issue, he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on.

I'm just going to assume this is aimed at his disability.

And the death rate is still 1-2%. It’s not that deadly.

[Machismo]

And the death rate is still 1-2%. It’s not that deadly.

Considering that is at least an order of magnitude higher than the seasonal flu, that's a huge deal. So, exactly how many need to die, before you consider it "that deadly?"

[gondrin]

And the death rate is still 1-2%. It’s not that deadly.

Well, lets put that into perspective. If all of the US got COVID, which is around 350 million people, that would be between 3.5 million - 7 million people. That would be the equivalent of the Holocaust. And we fought a war to stop that. If the entire world got it(around 7 billion people), that would be between 70 million - 140 million people. That would be on the level of the Black Death. Funny thing was, they wore masks and told people to NOT come around one another and forced quarantine them during the Black Death.

5% plus. That’d be 1 in 20. As it stands it’s 1 in 50 to 1 in 100. Very good chance you survive if you get it.

So, how many people? I want a number of dead in the United States.

Actually, the survival rate for just about every emergency or health issue like heart attacks, has increased by quite a bit as well. People don’t want to go to a hospital right now and when they do during emergency, all the ICU beds are filled with people with tubes down their throats.

So, how many people? I want a number of dead in the United States.

1 in 60 out of 22.9 million infected

[jonnysensible]

doesnt the death rate go to like 10% if you dont have medical services? oxygen etc.

[Santti]

And the death rate is still 1-2%. It’s not that deadly.

You should know better by now, than to make ignorant comments like that.

[Felya]

1 in 60 out of 22.9 million infected

Can you explain to me why we should be governed by people who have lower mortality standards, than their opponents? If they don’t care that 100s of thousands of their constituents are dead... why should we care that they want to be successful politicians?

[Machismo]

1 in 60 out of 22.9 million infected

Once again, how many people need to die in the United States? It's weird how you cannot give me an actual number. If it's 1 in 20, that would be 17 million people. According to you, nothing in the United States is "that deadly."

[muto]

You should know better by now, than to make ignorant comments like that.

I’m not arguing it’s not a big deal. Just that it could definitely be a lot worse. We should be thankful it’s only 1-2% and not 5%+
