That said, they still got scared and it got real for them


Yet they didn’t care when private citizens and their businesses were being attacked, instead they egged it on

That guy is on his cellphone. Reminds me of when soldiers used their GPS workout watches overseas and gave away the location of all our military bases.


Those locations are very well known already

No, you had Special Forces troops doing laps around FOBs in places DOD definitely didn't want threat groups to know about. It was a real problem for a little bit.

LOL it really is a clownshow out there

Riot at the Capitol results in increased NG presence - "What a disgrace that this is necessary, it's un-American!"

Months of riots, looting, city blocks burning and innocents murdered and police/NG have to come in to protect state and federal buildings - "This response is aggressive and un-American!"

Both said by the same types who are, themselves, rather un-American (and most of the time they're proud to shite on this country).

Remember when they said Trump was Hitler for sending BP agents (who the left called his secret police) to defend a federal building in Portland that antifa tried to burn down every night?

It's insane to watch these people spin this shite.

I just wonder if at some point the people who gaslight the country will go "oh shite we actually went too far this time."

I guarantee you some people were thinking that last week. Unfortunately, a lot of them are doubling down on it now and the results are going to be predictable and awful.

The optics of this are horrible and, in this case, optics matter. Photos of US Military troops armed and sleeping in the Capitol Building weaken us as a nation and if these partisan hacks in DC actually cared about the country they wouldn’t allow this to happen. It’s sad.



This is the medias problem. they could have just said, som epeople upset over election fraud vandalized the capitol and be done with it. not say some fricking old men from arkansas and a guy wearing fur over threw our government.

It's pretty simple. Our nobility now feel threatened.

Riots the past year: "Who cares. They're just little people."

Buffalo Bill and his merry band of fricktards: "OMG OMG OMG WE COULD DIE CALL IN THE MILITARY!!!!"

Gotta spend some of those billions they printed on something. What better way than to pay those heroes to nap?

It is good for a government to have a healthy fear of its citizens. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply poorly educated.

Overreaction to make a show for the American people in order to scare Americans and use it against their political adversaries.

That is ALL that is... nothing more, nothing less.

There's absolutely no way these people think that.

1. They're power hungry narcissists
2. They know they have the power to create any reality they wish to create
3. They know any attempt to have that same power used against them is useless because, again, they have the power to create the perception of reality the wish to create. Case in point is the "nuclear option". They praised Harry Reid for invoking it, then 5 years later they said Mitch McConnell should be jailed for doing the exact same thing and everyone in the media agreed.

Here are 4 examples from the last 8 months:
