How do those boots taste?
I doubt the taste has changed much - probably the same as they tasted when you were licking them while they gave an award to a cop for shooting an unarmed female protestor in the neck for the crime of trespassing.
Are you seriously defending traitor Ashhli Babbit?
OK, so, to set the record straight:
Not for nothing, she had a knife. And you may remember there were hundreds of armed assholes firing weapons, planting bombs, beating cops, threatening to kill...
There was definitely a lot of beatings of police. It was far from a non-violent protest. I assume there were threats to kill, yes...
But there was no firing of weapons. the only discharge of a gun that I am aware of was the shooting of Babbit.
The pipe bombs thing now has its own interesting conspiracies surrounding it with many people believing that they were planted by the state to justify the crackdown. Of course, the left would laugh at this now... And that's fine..! but prior to Obama, it was generally the case that the Left was advancing the idea that the government would plant evidence and collude against the people. I agree with that - it's an undeniable fact that the cops did do that to the left at various points.
There was gunfire. Some of it's on video, you can look it up
Noted, but I am not interested enough to do that legwork, lol.
You didn't say what Markwayne Mullin would say.
But thanks for the opportunity for me to ask what Josh Hawley would say about Ashli Babbit:
Wait, Mr. Hawley, come back!
Right, a lot of people were afraid that day.
The left wing in the 1990s would have cheered about this, but today they are backing the state. They want the state to crackdown on dissent because they have become the state, and that is why we exist in this funny timeline where people who are too radical for Reddit go to Alt Tech so they can post about how the government should have cracked down more on unarmed boomer nationalists temporarily seizing control of the hallways of the Capitol.
Traitor.
haha, who is a traitor to what?
Just reverse the panels on the left, right, lol
See, it's a good meme because it makes everyone seem a little bit hypocritical.
If the timelines were reversed, it could be utilized by MAGA.
