    Talking about her apparently trying to overturn the election result.

    I think the OP is completely overstating what happened and I'm sure that there was an air of disbelief in the the camp knowing that she was going to win the popular vote by millions but going to lose badly because of the electoral college system. She still conceded on the night and has always accepted the result, unlike nappy mango.

    Is there any news on the other deaths which have been described as "medical emergencies"

    Much as I think yesterdays events were terrible and totally unjustified, loss of life is always a tragedy.

    Most of the coverage I saw showed alot of BMI challenged beardy men with Trump flags. Didnt look like many of them moved their bodies much on a regular basis before their trip to DC. Therefore I conclude from my extensive medical knowledge of viewing CNN for 2 hours yesterday, heartattacks would be my diagnosis.

    According to multiple people present inside the Democrat campaign on election night 2016, Hillary was basically ordered by Obama to concede. Her going AWOL for several hours was her plotting how to challenge or overturn the result.

    Thats from a book a couple of her staffers wrote.

    She made the decision on her own well before Obama called her. Hillary believed the transition should be pure and there should be no doubt about the office of POTUS.

    Nixon did the same in 60 and he actually was cheated.

    At least it doesn't mention Babbitt having a child in the report I read so that saves them many embarrassing conversations.

    Examples of people wearing Biden caps and waving Biden flags storming the Capitol please Balance Boy...

    The clothing is what you have an issue with ?? Strange, I'll call you Fashion Boy, ok fashion boy, my point is that both the people who burnt buildings, looted and destroyed small businesses and attacked innocent people and these morons and racists in the capitol are worthy of the same derision. Both causing damage violent conflict and distress for no gain, as if by sitting in a certain room you can change the outcome of a democratic election, c'mon get real fashion boy.

    I saw a lot of people state somebody fell from the building from a height. I saw a few people say one man tazed himself into a heart attack and another when a flashbang went off, so you could be right.

    Shes an airforce vet.... should have known the risks involved in breaching the building, nobody to blame but herself

    I find it hard to believe the cops didn't go to town on them. I guess it is for the better as it would just give them a cause célèbre. I still can't fathom how those goons in Wisconsin weren't stopped in their tracks with minimal prejudice (as in is he holding a long gun?).

    On the left is *the* white supremacist flag. Next to it is the Ukrainian Neo Nazi party flag.

    That's a white supremacist symbol on his chest.

    Just to touch on this. The Valknut is not a white supremacist symbol. It was Odins mark in Viking mythology, and I have it tattooed on me too.

    American white supremacists have Co opted Norse mythology and attempted to make it a racist thing, it really really isn't.

    What?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,297 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    So because the woman was a military vet, we should sympathise her shooting?

    I'd say there are a good few Republican loons in the various branches of the US Army, which is why she is a "vet" to begin with despite looking quite young. Wasn't there some vet who shot up Fort Hood a few years ago as well? It's okay though, he was a good damn hero for serving his country.

    By co-opting and making it a racist thing, it can be. Same happened with the swastika.

    More respect given to career criminal Floyd than to a vet. Place has gone mad.

    I think the argument is that because she was a vet, she should knew what to expect.

    Yes, obviously this was an invasion of Capitol building by a bunch of students majoring in Pre-Christian European Religion.

    Also, the Nazi salute was originally Roman, but I'm not letting anyone away with using it and then pretending they merely want to show their allegiance to Caesar.

    Both are worthy of derision alright

    There's only one group getting purposely riled up into a frenzy by the actual president of the USA and his bootlicking party colleagues though.

    Can you guess which group that is??

    fashion boy is f*cking lame btw. Think harder next time

    You are seriously underestimating the wilful stupidity of Trump supporters and a large majority of modern day Republicans.
    This will be spun and broken down into the familiar us and them narrative and on we go.
    It actually doesn't matter how far Trump drags the whole thing down.
    I have American friends who are Trump supporters,after every new low for the last 4 years I've had a look on their fb and tried to understand and interact with all the comments,it's another planet.Its a state of mind where reason ,reality and facts dont matter.
    Sure enough I was having a look today,most of them sticking to their guns.Biased MSM reporting,sensationalist reporting,infiltrated by ANTIFA etc.
    Proof of these things include the guy in the racoon outfit (or whatever he was meant to be) was also seen at a BLM protest.
    Leave them to it and learn from it,hopefully we never let things decend into that level of lunacy over here.

    I have family who voted Trump... but they are sure sorry they did..they weren’t Trump fans, just disliked Hillary and thought he’d do better.. best of two bad candidates

    Let’s be clear, in what was once supposed to be a bastion of democracy, freedom and a shining light of fairness... what we have witnessed and are witnessing is the most anti democratic subversion of honesty and freedoms... in what was supposed to be the most free, fair beacon of democracy on the planet.... instead it’s like something out of the arc....

    So there are violent protestors *inside* Capitol Hill, attempting to break down doors. A shot is fired, a woman goes down, four armed cops don't react with fear, instead they called for a medic. And in Thomas from New Jersey's words, "The riot police ushered us outside".

    But when Trump wants the street cleared for a photo OP, the cops are using pepper spray and batons.

    If an antifa demo had stormed that building yesterday, that one shot would have been accompanied by everyone immediately hitting the floor, riot police pointing their weapons at everyone, and all protestors being brought out in handcuffs.
    These guys literally got shown the door, with a little head nod from the cop who was holding it open for them.

    And still some people think there's a "both sides" to this.

    Is this saying you know that the protestors are fascist or that you don't actually know what antifa is?

    I would certainly hope that everyone is anti-fascist

    There is a 100% chance she would not have been shot if she wasn't at the protest.

    There is a 100% chance she would not have been shot if she didn't illegally enter a federal building with armed guards.

    There is a 100% chance she would not have been shot if she listened to instructions from armed guards facing down a mob in a federal building.

    There is a 100% chance she would not have been shot if she, despite instructions from those guards, tried to clamour through a broken window to reach a secure area.

    All true...but the usual bunch will only accept:
    There is a 100% chance she would not have been shot if Democrats hadn't stolen the election with fake ballots and Biden conceded to allow Trump take his rightful place as Americas greatest President!!!!!

    Much larger protests and primarily peaceful. Biden openly opposed violence when he discussed them. Plus they were as a result of a real issue.

    Pence is finished in Washington if he pardons Trump. He'll put his own head on the block for a gob****e he doesn't believe in and who's days are numbered. Better for him to sit in the background watching the clock wind down.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say Ashli Babbitt's husband may have played some part in her death.

    It is recognised as an American white supremacist identifier by Homeland Security.

    I understand its origin but that's like pointing out the swastika comes from Buddhism.

    The Celtic Cross means something real different here vs there too.

    Well you can consider that her dishouourable discharge, removing her vet. status, if that upsets you.
