    A Houston cop claimed he went to the Jan 6 Trump rally on a whim but he didn’t go inside the Capitol. FBI then found pics on his phone of him inside the Capitol. The cop now admits he climbed a torn fence to get in but claims he just wanted to see the art.

    The extent to which these guys just believe a thing some guy told them

    Please, don’t be like , don’t rush to judgment on assault on Capitol. Wait for investigation. All may not be (and likely is not) what appears. Evidence growing that fascist ANTIFA orchestrated Capitol attack with clever mob control tactics. Evidence follows:

    It’s interesting to think about why this event in particular would require rhetorical caution

    CBS News internal guidance also advises staff to avoid the coup or insurrection label: "We don’t need to go out of our way to give this an overly dramatic label, This story doesn’t need that.  We should not be calling this an attempted coup or a terrorist attack."

    Absolutely. We should unite in hatred of childless couples in healthy relationships.

    It is possible to have empathy for people with small kids who are not getting a minute to themselves right now and for people who live alone who have nothing but time to themselves. Nobody is living their best lives in a pandemic.
