I'm sure Parler will find a nice morally-devoid hosting company in Russia to take them in.

I'm also sure all the idiots on Parler will totally use completely new passwords and not reuse the ones they've memorized.

i think that might be the standard procedure if a passenger refuses to comply with safety instructions. i always remember that was what they did with the woman who was singing the chorus of I Will Always Love You over and over again.

It isn't "unreal" anymore lady. A not insignificant portion of white people in our country don't give a gently caress anymore about following rules or regulations so, yeah, I can see why the PIC would make that threat that I am 100% he'd follow through on.

Makes me think of the Bravo reality show Below Deck where the most recent episode ended on a cliffhanger of Captain Lee saying the charter is over, first time in any season, because a drunk middle-aged woman jumped into the water in at night. Like any crew with passengers, safety is the mission. loving white middle class and up just don't seem to think normal rules don't apply to them.

The Senate is likely still around because an insurrectionist didn't know where he was and assumed a cop was going towards the Senate instead of more cops.

I still can't figure out why, with almost the entire legislature hiding for their lives and most likely gonna be completely hosed when they are found, they aren't just stacking bodies.

Yeah, they had zip ties, nooses, and set up a gallows. Intruders were armed. They killed a guard and put a bunch more in the hospital.

I get that people want to "protest" poo poo outside, and there's barriers and idiots are mad about a not stolen election. There's gonna be some conflict. So if that gets over run, as much as I don't like it people don't need to die over it.

Setting foot in the capitol building under force should've earned them the prize of having the inside of their heads meet the outside world. I mean what if molotov/pipe bomb man had his way? We could literally have had emperor trump family for life with no one to stand in his way.

Or he was in a throng of emboldened racist assholes and really thought the black police officer was going to give him and his buddies an excuse to assault him, since it's not really a normal human inclination to keep advancing on a police officer holding a tactical baton.

Assuming nothing worse happens over the next week and a half (:ohdear:), Wednesday may very well go down as one of the biggest "What If" moments of American history, right up there with the Kennedy Assasinations, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Gettysburg.

That was the scariest part of that video, even with that asp(?) or baton, if that fight had started... It would have not gone well for him. Personally, I think he realized it and it was why he kept falling back until he got some reinforcements at least.

Either your military do something at that point, or they don't. That's pretty much their one job. I'm not sure it'll come down to that, how many of y'all queda have had heart attacks trying to run up stairs at this point.

e: And I'm not trying to make light of anything, in the UK where I live we've got like the biggest immigrant comunity anywhere pretty much, tens of thousands of people, and I've sat down and talked to people who've come from places to here where their political and police systems exploded and been told the stories of the countries exploding and their relatives being shot.

You ain't going down that way, you do have some work to do.
