Were it not so deadly serious, I’d think it akin to a Monty Python skit.

Three things hit me:
1. “Trumpy bear”?
2. It’s claimed this was organised on social media. To which I say: “any of that looks *organised* to you, I want some of what you’re smoking.”
3. No, really, fuckin “Trumpy bear”??!?

sonofrojblake, re your #2:
That the mob itself was disorganised (no dispute there!) doesn’t entail the riot itself was not organised, nor does it entail that there were no organised elements within the mob.

Oy, that’s painful to watch. I saw two maga people who were horrified by the rioters actions. I’m still trying to process megaphone dude who was shouting ‘We will not allow socialism to overtake this country!’ Off camera female voice- ‘it’s communism‘. Dude- ‘oh’. ‘We will not allow communism to overtake our country!!!’
Smh.
I have a suspicion my neighbors have politicized citing, quoting and many other things that make it hard to answer questions. I don’t accept that I am being rude without a quote and I point out that these aren’t insults. I like to argue. It’s ignorance and fear. I have not introduced the word “terse” yet.
Jellyfish is what they are: brainless, spineless, unthinking, only concerned about consuming and propagating, and poisonous to everything they touch. And getting larger and more plentiful because their natural predators stopped culling their numbers.
And considering how cowardly they were to a little pepper spray and have been to arrest warrants, the cowardly definition also applies.

@ 7 brucegee1962 Ironically, the FBI is now investigating whether the rioters were supported by Russia and China.
Oh dear lord. Can the USA ever take responsibility?
Only an idiot (or US Gov’t official which seem to be the same thing) could come up with that stupid an idea.

They have to be seen doing something if “antifa” is failing, I’m surprised Iran was no part of that one. I’ve been wondering how much “looking like I’m tough/doing something” explains the executions and classic moves to benefit other predatory industries like the oil industry and predatory lenders. Trump is avoidant towards the virus issue (and other actual responsibilities) and his choices are revealing.
I meant “american culture” and not “american government” in 13. I’ve got a bug in my editing process.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a stupid idea. It’s totally possible that there are native terrorist groups, and that some of those groups have some foreign support. Why not?

They don’t care to distinguish forms of government from political parties from political philosophies from…

Are there no organ banks?
@John Morales, 3 : well yes, I do understand the distinction. It was a joke. See also the tone and surrounding points.

…in addition to the choices you imply with respect towards flaws in the american government itself. MURICA FUCK YEA!
