An example - haven't heard this (below) on any morning or evening news channels.....But you sure get a play-by-play action on the events in DC. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9183231/Antifa-protesters-descend-Tacoma-cops-ran-man.html More than 200 Antifa protesters reportedly descended on Tacoma, Washington, where they busted the windows of buildings and set fires in the streets on Sunday, just a day after wreaking havoc in Portland. Video footage and images showed broken glass scattered on the sidewalk outside of businesses and graffiti sprayed on the side of buildings. Protesters started at least two fires in the area using a barricade for one and an American flag for the other. Dozens of Tacoma police officers were seen lined up on bikes as protesters approached them. Late Sunday night, Tacoma police declared an 'unlawful assembly' as crowds continued to march through the streets protesting the department after an officer was see running over a man on Saturday. https://mynorthwest.com/2493972/rantz-seattle-council-activists-pretend-antifa-riot-didnt-happen/ The Seattle City Council and area activists are pretending the Antifa riot on inauguration night didn’t happen. In other words, they’re responding the way they normally do to Antifa violence: with total silence. Their dubious observations of the Antifa riot is a mix of delusion, scary justification, and strategic downplaying.

Here come the tax hike talks...... https://www.rollcall.com/2021/01/21/buttigieg-faces-largely-friendly-panel-at-confirmation-hearing/ Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Thursday put a gas tax hike on the table of ways to pay for federal highway programs, only to have a spokesman later rule out that possibility. Buttigieg, testifying before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee at his confirmation hearing to be secretary of Transportation, was pressed on a gas tax increase by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., one of several Republicans eager to put him on the record supporting a tax hike. “Would you support gas tax increases, and if so, how much?” asked Scott. “I think all options need to be on the table,” Buttigieg replied. “As you know, the gas tax has not been increased since 1993 and it’s never been pegged to inflation, and that is one of the reasons why the current state of the Highway Trust Fund is that there’s more going out than coming in.” Later, under questioning from Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Buttigieg said it was “possible” the federal government could raise the gas tax.

Simple - Riots/looting/protests/burning city blocks literally in every big city in the US all summer long with nary a second look. One day's run on the capital (that was over at precisely 6:00 pm, and everyone went home) and we hear about it endlessly while the elitists in DC call up 25,000 troops to protect them from people like us.......

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/national-guard-capitol/index.html (CNN)Members of the National Guard have been allowed back into the Capitol Complex after a slate of lawmakers voiced their outrage at guardsmen being banished to a parking garage as a rest area, a guardsman told CNN. The Guard will now be allowed to rest in the US Capitol Visitor Center, the guardsman said. The change comes after thousands of National Guardsmen were moved to a parking garage after they were told they could no longer use space within the US Capitol Complex, including areas like the cafeteria of a Senate office building, as a rest area, multiple Guardsmen told CNN. Prior to Thursday morning, several areas throughout the Capitol Complex were designated as authorized rest areas where members of the Guard could take breaks from their shifts protecting the Capitol. By Thursday morning, all those areas had been cleared out and their designations removed, the Guardsmen said. The National Guard Bureau, however, said earlier Thursday the troop relocation was temporary because Congress is in session. "The National Guard continues to assist and support the U.S. Capitol Police. As Congress is in session and increased foot traffic and business is being conducted, Capitol Police asked the troops to move their rest area. What did you expect? The Pelosi photo-op was over, move em out.......

Yet, “public health” bureaucrats suddenly decided in 2020 that decades of research was to be thrown out the window, and lockdowns were to be imposed on hundreds of millions of human beings. Yeahbut......Science.....aaaannnndddd Dr. Fauci......we need to get rid of Trump.......Yeah - IT'S TRUMPS FAULT.......

BTW - my "garage door pull" was a joke. OK - my question since January 6. HOW and WHO built that "makeshift gallows" (as every media outlet called it)? I know DC, where that was located, there is no feasible way that much lumber was brought in "organically" by the crowd and placed that close to the reflecting pool on that day.....

I don't think we need another party, but I would have to say that any of the existing (3rd) parties would certainly benefit at a minimum by his notoriety should the former President join with one. Senator Paul is right, after the lackluster display of support to DJT by the Republican leadership, the party is in deep trouble should he leave it for a 3rd. They have turned their collective elitist back(s) on him.

You sure it wasn't a garage door pull?

No, and they aren't "domestic terrorists" according to the left..... Funny you bring that up considering the abuse the former VP took during his 4 years, especially his final year while heading the Coronavirus task force that brought us a vaccine in 7 months (BTW - we are one full year into "2 weeks to flatten the curve" now)

So, having trouble understanding the meaning of "domestic terrorism". It appears that if the event is sparked by the left wing, it's normally a "peaceful protest", or at it's worst an "principled uprising" no matter the destruction, duration, or injuries, but if the event's genesis is right wing, it instantly becomes termed "domestic terrorism" even if the event was over in hours. We are still hearing the stories relative to "domestic terrorism" that happened in the Nation's Capital on January 6. A week and a half later. Not hardly a peep about the protests and riots overnight in Portland and Seattle.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/national-guard-members-removed-inauguration-security-mission/story?id=75343308 A dozen Army National Guard members have been removed from the inauguration security mission, including two who were sent home after vetting for extremist links found an "inappropriate" text and comment, the Pentagon said oTuesday. Each of the 25,000 National Guardsmen now in Washington assisting with security at Wednesday's presidential inauguration is being vetted by the FBI. I kinda think the odds really favored the 24,988 troops should the 12 have started something........(It's spelled "Overkill" or "all for show") It is pretty ironic how fast the left became believers in walls though......

Before they will do that, they need to reign in their own power. With term limits in both houses.

Before the onslaught from the lefties - IT'S A JOKE.....

In case your wondering - NO.

Update time: 1-18-21 US Population: 332,915,073 **went up** US Covid Cases: 24,018,793 (7.2% of the population have or have had the virus - Since March of 2020) **Went up ** US Covid Deaths: 398,307 (1.6 % of CASES have actually died from the virus or had the virus while dying from something else) **% of case death went down) Which (if my math is accurate) means everyone reading this has 1.20 to the -03 power (AGAIN - wtf that number is, but it is really small) % chance of dying from the virus. Higher if you are elderly. OH - and DON'T FORGET the the fact that the CDC is actually producing PIC death numbers as one figure. (Pneumonia, Influenza, Coronavirus) but never mentions that in the press......

Just something I read..... http://www.nationalforum.com/Electronic Journal Volumes/Bartz, David African-American Parents an Effective Parent Involvement Programs SCHOOLING V8 N1 2017.pdf Look - SF doesn't disagree with your statement You allow the job market to do it. The children of deadbeats go on to be deadbeats; but those who buy in, and work with their children, will go on to a better life. It is indicative of the capitalist society we are in. It just seemed like an about-face for you considering your previous positions elsewhere on the GID. That's all....

Wouldn't that be considered racist?

Up next - "SUPER COVID" https://www.the-sun.com/news/2144783/more-super-covid-mutant-strains-surge-cases-virus-thrive/

So hearing the stories (on the news and coming from the FBI) of all of the protests "planned" at State capitals and DC this weekend, SF is thinking he must not be "far right" or "extreme" enough to have gotten one of the alleged notifications calling for the feared uprising. SF is wondering if this is a trap not actually organized by conservatives. https://indyweek.com/news/wake/armed-march-raleigh-state-capitol-january-17/ When it permanently suspended the president from its platform on Friday, Twitter cited a threat for potential violence this weekend: a call for armed marches on state capitols nationwide. But it's unclear if any such rally—called for at noon on January 17 on online messaging boards popular with extremists—will materialize in Raleigh. https://6abc.com/fbi-armed-protest-president-donald-trump-capitol-raid/9624912/ TRENTON, New Jersey (WPVI) -- New Jersey is asking for the public's help to report suspicious activity ahead of Inauguration Day, this as the FBI is expanding on the threats to Washington DC and state capitals in the coming days. https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/01/12/fbi-warns-of-armed-protests-at-all-50-state-capitols-in-coming-days/ Simon Clark, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress said that unless strong legal action is taken against the people involved in last week’s insurrection — such as arrests and jail time — protests will continue that mirror the actions taken at the nation’s Capitol last Wednesday. “Unless there are severe criminal consequences for everybody involved, this will become a pattern, and we’ll see this again and again,” he said. “It’s all part of a single anti-democratic movement which is becoming increasingly violent and increasingly radicalized.” https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/fbi-warns-armed-protests-being-planned-at-all-50-state-capitols-washington-dc-101610434109081.html Posts on pro-Trump and far-right online networks have called for protest action on a number of dates.

It is if your a Nazi......

Snowflakes....

Wrong. I expected nothing less from you. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

Bart Curtis isn't one to mess around is he?

Nope. You and I will rest eternally on opposite sides of this argument. Not that they deserved to die, but so far ALL of the persons killed this past year by LEO's had one thing in common....and it wasn't compliance with orders.....
