Just curious, what do Vietnamese have to do with it
They are all gamblers, will play with anything, and the good ones know when/how to bluff.
So, for example, you can never go, "The only thing that beats me here is 83 off, but nobody would ever play 83o like that".

I used to be a semi professional poker player who primarily played with Vietnamese people, so there's nothing that can be thrown at me that I can't imagine or conceptualize within a strategic setting. Nothing.
Yeah Charlie’s pretty clever from what I understand.

Lol. That's a really interesting explanation of your own relationship with humor. I don't think I could conjure up a similar one for myself other than vague internet trolling when trolling was the SOP for internet interactions.

Probably a bad thing.

What % of the crowd do you think that was?
Put in those terms, what number of motivated government players do you think it would take to change a crowd's mindset?
E.g., SFP posted a picture of a bunch of people scaling a wall to access the Capitol Terrace. That image always struck me as odd.
Why?
Because there was a huge wide-open, easily accessible stairway accessing the same terrace not more than 20ft away. Do all those J6 wall scaling images (each carefully cropping out the stairs) not seem a touch contrived?
Yet, along with the horned-hat-shaman-face-painted-dude (who was escorted by police through the Capitol into the Senate Chamber for a photo-op), those wall scalers are THE picture used to represent J6.
Given the bizarre improbability of people risking injury by spontaneously scrambling up a fifteen foot wall instead of simply taking the adjacent stairs, I'd bet high stakes the first wall scalers were either birddogs themselves or instigated by them, explicitly for a photo-op.
Yet, here we are with a bright poster using that photo as if it represents something akin to Alaric's barbarians breaching the walls of Rome.

Large enough that the fed bois in Washington wouldn’t give their field agents in Boston access to the J6 footage for fear it would blow their cover
