Civil War?

Nope (unless you are suggesting that Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act before anything got violent. If that's what you are suggesting, I guess we have an added exhibit to prove the "Horseshoe Theory")

On Sept. 23, 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower signed an executive order sending troops from the Army's 101st Airborne Division to maintain order and peace during the integration of Central High School by nine black students in Little Rock, Ark. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus earlier called in the state National Guard to bar black students from the school.

Cooperation. See NYP.

Oh come on. The security in the US embassy in Iran basically opened the doors for the mob as well. Doesn’t mean they cooperated.

[AsherO]

Any word on how the security wasn’t ready for this?
How could it be so easy to get in?

Pro-Trump people stood by and let it happen (in support of him), and anti-Trump people stood by and let it happen because the optics make him look bad. This is why polarity isn’t a good thing, it creates a void in the center where rational people usually exist.

I think it's extremely difficult to control an angry mob if you aren't willing to use force. Think about it - without using serious force you have thousands of people coming at you - what can you do?

Is tear gas considered force?

You tell me what the response was in June

Please explain how the Enforcement Acts are relevant here.

(General advice; if you'd spend 2 minutes on google before posting, you wouldn't say so many easily debunked things)

I saw officers spraying at the protesters. Not sure what it was.

There is a famous joke that Osama Bin Laden called President Bush in the pre-dawn hours of 9/11 and wished his condolences. When Bush was perplexed, Bin Laden responded, "Oh, I forgot there's a time-zone difference," and quickly hung up.



Yesterday morning, Hillary Clinton retweeted this.

I could have retweeted that a month ago and still have been right.

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not. That tweet has been retweeted for 4 years.

And if this was a false flag operation, it's been an elaborate buildup over many years

Was the problem the protests, or the violence? If you are suggesting arresting everyone who illegally protested in the capitol, there is a long list from the past years.

ETA: I'm as sceptical of false flag claims made now as I was when they were made during the BLM riots, but pointing to Baked Alaska isn't exactly making your point.

From Wikipedia -

Prior to his 2016 transformation into an alt-right activist, Gionet was a commentator for BuzzFeed, where he supported libertarian and progressive political positions and marched in support of Black Lives Matter.

It’s probably a fake:

- Seller has two listed.
- If you had the actual podium stone from the US Capitol, you would be a fool to list it on eBay, whether it was or wasn’t you who stole it.

Of course I wouldn't list it. I would give it to Borizov as payment for some scrolls.

Ha? I'm just showing that there were famous right wingers there, this wasn't an Antifa false flag op.

When have you seen me defending violent protestors on either side before? I've spoken plenty about the hypocrisy of the media and the left. There are reasons to say why this is worse than anything that has been until now, not lease incitement by a sitting president. But the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings weren't all that long ago, and if you proudly supported the morons that interrupted the helige Democratic Process then, or if you dismissed BLM rioters as "just damaging a Target which is anyways insured", spare me your pearl-clutching now.

Muzzle him so he doesn’t have a chance to save face.
