    One thing I teach my son or at least I try to on a daily basis is how one instant one moment in life can turn your world upside down. Been there done that during so many occasions in my youth. Unfortunately impulses can take over. Peace.

    I’m sure some entered the capital following like sheep. Not what they had really had in mind.

    True. But the stakes are so different today. Every misstep of youth is immortalized on the internet.

    I just don't get it...most of these idiots / traitors didn't hide their faces and / or went on social media to brag about what they did as if they didn't care about being arrested, prison time, job loss, damage to their family financial when tracked down through social media.

    Ironically, the very media platform that they complain about and used to complain about the government...is now being used to track them down for their traitor / anti-democracy behavior.

    I say round them all up put them on a jumbo plane and send them all to Afghanistan for their annual Jihadism training. Hopefully, they will make it there.

    stupidity 2.0:

    voting for trump (twice ...)

    believing everything he tells you (including all the bs about "rigged election", etc.)

    donating for him before AND after the election

    then going to a riot, acting like they did and expecting to get away with it

    ... can only be the result of incest over many generations

    They're zealots, mate.

    I recently watched the HBO documentary, Heaven's Gate, The Cult of Cults (can you believe it's been 20 years?). A bit overlong, like the title, but pretty good. I knew nothing about them, except for the Hale-Bopp bit (I had my scope out a lot that year).

    Wait a sec, what's wrong with that?

    Oh, you meant having kids out of it. Yeah, that's bad.

    yes it is.
    but it's normal for them.
    look at their faces. these are not healthy people.
    but they are allowed to vote AND allowed to buy weapons.
    and this is dangerous.
    as we can see ...

    I have a feeling we have not seen the end of the violence. Hate groups are calling on their soldiers to wreak havoc. Many of those soldiers are within our police, military etc. The next couple of days up until the inauguration is going to be a tipping point in our country.
