    I am a rather secular thinker, but I am not entirely sure of that in the case of Richard Nixon.

    Nonsense. If Giuliani and the Trump team were involved in suborning perjury the attack dogs in the DP House would have hung them out to dry in public hearings in November. They did not even bark.

    There have been no public full due process hearings into the integrity of the election because rigged elections cannot stand up to close examination. The thing speaks for itself.

    They called for it before what makes anyone think they didn't do it again.

    They did not expect something not seen since 1814.

    An objective casual observer would notice two things.

    1) Nothing Donald Trump has claimed since 2011 has been true.

    2) Everything everyone else warned us about Donald Trump has come true.

    There is a fairly large segment of society divorced from reality. It's unprecedented in my life.

    Probably fake. I doubt that AntiFa/BLM is stupid enough to create such a poster detailing its strategy.

    But your side maybe should be worried. Yes, the corporate-fascist censorship Nazis- white male plutocrats and kleptocrats that are your hero types - gained massive power and rapidly were crushed every one of their enemies. But, in the end, it was your fascist censorship team that was slaughtered and completely wiped out.

    Playing the race card is one of the reasons Trump lost the election and repubs lost the senate. It is old and people are tired of it.

    That's a hand out from an ANTIFA meeting, it's real.

    The people who told the protesters to stop pushing the police barricade and start pulling it back were pros. It looks like a few hundred hapless leaderless Republicans followed that vanguard into the capitol.
    So far the individuals caught on video fighting with the police have not been publicly identified by the police - were they even arrested?

    Then they are not as well organized and led as I thought.

    International news report - accurate:

    American officials cheer killing 14 year military veteran protester.

    Too bad she wasn't a Palestinian. Tears would be falling.

    It really is like a cult, with a large chunk of his supporters - not all, by any means, but some - who will accept everything he says as the gospel truth, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Some of those people stormed the Capitol yesterday. Jonestown is the closest parallel I can think of.

    I’m not referring to anyone on this forum, of course.

    Which American officials cheered the killing of such a person?

    we can also assume there's little to this since nobody has proof of such claims from your questionable source that any antifa types made it even up the Capitol steps, and if there were some in the crowd behaving legally then they would be in the vast minority who gathered peacefully. but maybe there were some roaming around merely ''recording history'' in a benign manner, unlike the newly elected republican who busted himself on video ransacking the inner chambers lol

    Pence, for one. His response to the death of that female 14 year military veteran? "YOU LOST!"
