Also a great deal of evidence that 'right-wing threats' are...heavily compromised by government agents already. Which could be positive*.

The Proud Boys head honcho being an informant, the alleged kidnapping plot of Wisconsin's governor being rife with informants and people working witht he FBI in undisclosed capacity, the Malheur Refuge Occupation and general whole Bundy land-saga that erupted years ago seeing a bunch of not guilty verdicts in court precisely because federal agents and informants were all up in the business pointing fingers at one another...Hell, it would be unsurprising entirely if any of the stuff actually inciting any of this March 4th ohmygod moment the House is having originated from federal informants or undercovers already in place in whackadoo groups of 'militia'.

*Could be because, independent of partisan concerns, the FBI offering explodey-material to mentally-ill people in eyebrow-raising scenarios that looks awfully like entrapment is a legitimate concern for civil rights...Which is beside, of course, the massively bloated-by-PATRIOT act superpowers the NSA and other agencies still retain.

Obama made it harder for the NSA, as did Trump, when he let the Patriot act expire iirc.


Also, if I see someone wearing that ribbon. I will make fun of them.

the single greatest thing Trump ever did was let the Partiot act expire. The single worst thing Dubya did was help create that thing.

It expired? When?

 

[Rocinante]

It expired? When?

I didn't even know about this, but apparently yes

Yes, Section 215 Expired. Now What?

On March 15, 2020, Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act—a surveillance law with a rich history of government overreach and abuse—expired. Along with two other PATRIOT Act provisions, Section 215 lapsed after lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on a broader set of reforms to the Foreign Intelligence...

Well 2020 was good for one thing, at least.

The attempts by you guys to equalize 1/6 with the antifa/BLM riots is autistic horseshit, especially as riots and racial unrest ala the BLM incidents are not exactly an unprecedented thing in American history. But if you really insist, I'm perfectly fine with attacking those BLM leaders who you can prove were conducting terrorism, as I'm no friend of their movement. You guys are the ones trying to act like there's no issue, that is when you're not egging on such further incidents.

You're right, they're incomparable. One of them was standing around waving flags, the other was burning, raping and murdering their way across the country (with plenty of video evidence to prove it).

Also are people really calling it 1/6 now? People still milking that aren't they.

IT WAS DONALD TRUMP USING RIGHT WING TERROR GROUPS TO GET HIM REELECTED!! REEEEEEEE

That is basically the whole point of thier agruments, to try and villify the right into not gaining any support. Only that it gained them more

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have very vivid memories of 9/11. I was in grade school and I can still remember that morning in perfect clarity from start to around noon all these years later. I find it infuriating funny that the same parties that have spent years downplaying it since it rather nastily shits in the middle of most Islamaphobia narratives have suddenly decided it's bad again. Only so they can compare it to a riot that doesn't even make the top 5 attacks on the capitol list.

Remember to keep Susan Rosenburg's name handy anytime you get into an argument about the riot. I've found that it kills the mood real quick.

Son: Dad I learned in school about the brave Last Stand of the 25000 who protected President Kamala Harris from the Great White Coup of January of 2021! Were you there Daddy?

Father (in shame): I was a Medic in a Civil Affairs Battalion serving in the Horn of Africa providing vaccinations for...

Son: Oh... Never mind...

I fully expect any soldier owning one of these to use them as tinder for fires.
