How curious: left goons go to the streets to burn and loot everything in their path, attacking lives of innocent people, but it is a "peaceful protest".
Bunch of rights take battle to the heart of corruption and they are "domestic terrorists".
OK.

I did not say either one was a peaceful protest.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

Actually, if it were me, I would've sh*t in her desk. After I swiped all the crack out of the desk drawers, of course. Then I'd sell it to Biden's kid for a tidy profit!

Those jokers the other day were clearly amateurs. You can tell, because not one of them thought of ANY of that sh*t! The whole world is lucky I'm so goddamn lazy or I'd show 'em all What's What, I Tell You What.

"Selfies". Feh. Nobody sh*t on Pelosi's desk, nobody was wearing the American flag as a diaper... not even ONE severed head on a pole. Worst "insurrection" EV-AR. Sh*t was more boring than the theatrical cut of "Heaven's Gate". Somebody throw a PIE or something! JESUS.

Is it bad that, just knowing how this "wonderful team" is, that I'm pretty sure they absolutely zeroed in on this guy because of it? Now imagine all the articles on Startrek.com and bleeding heart stuff to come that can get virally spread, giving them more "armor."

The whole thing is a travesty... but not for many of the reasons I see people complaining about.

"Isn't it scary what happened?!?!"

Well, scary in the sense of "Wow, the capitol building was allowed to be entered so easily? That's really surprising" which falls more on the "disappointment" end of the spectrum to me. Like, actual terrorist groups may look at this and be like, "Oh really, it's that easy? Hmmm, food for thought." It's concerning from that sense, for sure.

"Doesn't the lack of a police response prove systemic racism?!?!"

Dumb. There was a police response, and people dead (and in jail, looking to be made examples of and probably long years sentenced). The National Guard was even promptly called in. Obviously their safeguards this particular day weren't up to snuff but so what? They should've, but they didn't see this coming. This has 0 to do with race, as much as the media and certain people really, really want it to be as always.

"B-b-b-ut how come more white people aren't dead?!?!?!"

This is what really gets me. So many people I'm seeing are honestly and completely disappointed -- openly -- that more white people didn't die in the DC thing. Like, they're even angry about it. "I wanted to see MORE white bodies! This isn't fair!"

Yeesh! This is the kind of response and growing sentiment that "scares" me.

"Isn't this a coup?!? Doesn't this make and prove Trump is super dangerous, at last??"

Also dumb. While he may have played some part in "raising the temperature" of the whole thing of the day he certainly didn't "orchestrate" (that's the word I'm seeing thrown around) anything, and certainly not this.

"But he told those coup people to come!!! They were Trump supporters, weren't they??!"

Of course they were. Why wouldn't he, and why shouldn't they be there? They had every right to be there, and be upset. Moreso than the people at the quantifiably fake racism protests of the past year, I'd say, as there was actually big stuff at stake here with huge ramifications and the government.

Now, as soon as they turned violent and decided "Hey, wouldn't it be super funny if we busted in and ran roughshod a little?" those involved became criminals and should be punished to the fullest, but this has nothing to do with Trump.

"But the left didn't ask anyone to show up!"

Hah, they did! Actually a ton of them, including the AOCs and squad were all like "Everyone needs to show up at DC and FIGHT on 1/6! It is vitally important!" all over Twitter leading up to it. Now they're dead quiet about it and/or just attacking Trump for doing the same.

They're lucky that their "people" are largely cowards. Now it's just Trump left holding the bag, and he wasn't even inciting people as badly as they were trying to.

"Hey, I'm getting super excited about what I'm reading about the 25th amendment!! Does this really mean that Trump can never run again if they use the 25th amendment against him?!?!!?"

lol... yeah, I wouldn't get too excited about that. Either the 25th amendment being used or even Trump running again.

"But I read Pelosi and Schumer are actively trying to remove Trump right now!!"

Also lol. And no different whatsoever than any day of the past 4 years.

"What happened in the capitol is finally proof positive that all of 'Trump's supporters' are racists and should be driven back, beaten into the shadows!!"

Yikes. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of this now. These people spouting this stuff are nuts. That's really all I can say about them. They're nuts, and shouldn't be humored even one iota.

what happened in the capitol is people tired of the current state of things. that means democratic policies, SJW fake femenism, fake outrage, snowflake cancel culture. and they absolutely have a right to think that the democrats might have faked something to get where they are.

I personally think this virus coming when it did was a bit odd myself, but that's another theory. IMHO, trump would have won in a landslide without it.

I'm still amazed pelosi is trying for a FOURTH time to impeach him, and he's only got 12 days left.

can you imagine dealing with the crazy left 24/7 trying to stop you at every way and crying wolf when they get caught?

that would drive me insane too....and why so many people latched onto 'make america great again'...

this is hardly ALL trumps fault, and it's been rumored some of the more violent stuff was antifa infiltrators, which would not surprise me.

DUDE. That sh*t is EVERYWHERE and it's soooooo gross. I can hardly believe the stuff I'm seeing from people I thought were a lot more intelligent than that.

Like okay, be mad, being mad is the natural response to stuff like that, but holy sh*t, stash that "You know if it were Black people...." stuff, now's not the time for that race-baiting garbage. We DON'T know "If It Were Black People..." and hopefully we won't find out because hopefully this kinda sh*t never happens again.

You just know some of the people saying that gross sh*t were doing cartwheels over this entire incident. "See? SEE?! THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT!" I'm sure most people are mad. But at least a few of them are happy. Just like the racists are secretly happy whenever Black people start breaking windows because it "proves" their dumbsh*t way of thinking. No different.

But yeah, I've definitely seen many people say the woman who got killed "Got what she deserved" and that they wish it had been more people. Who the f*ck TALKS like that? Jesus. This is why I say there's "No Such Thing As Good Guys."
---------------

Personally... I've never been a big fan of protests. And Sh*t Like This is a big reason why. It really doesn't matter WHO'S protesting; a "protest" turns into a "riot" way too easily for my liking. When I look at a "protest", even if the cause is just I just can't help but see a bunch of babies who want their bottle. And you see what happens when they don't get it.

I don't know. I definitely understand being disenfranchised... but I don't get people becoming "militant" about it. Probably because I'm too f*cking lazy to do anything but curse at the TV.

As usual, it's too bad more people can't be like Me.

Okay guys a Star Trek: Discovery thread isn't really the place to discuss the riots/domestic terrorist incident that happened in the US capital. Maybe start a new thread specifically to discuss it (and be wrong about it) and hope you have the last word before it's inevitably locked.

So I'm intolerant for saying that I think are people are wrong? Or am I'm intolerant for pointing out the near inevitability that a thread discussing these issues will be locked?

I was just referring to his attitude about the discussion. that has relatively been peacful up till then. it's the 'AND BE WRONG' part of it that was wrong in that post IMHO...and could have been left without.

Exactly. I'm not going to address it any further than what I post here. People will ruin any life and twist anything if it makes them feel like their life is important - like they are fighting "evil".

Examples of that thinking have been around for all of human history. It's the entire reason they writing books as far back and before like "Frankenstein" or "Beauty and the Beast" as societal commentary. I find it disturbing that manipulators and people who don't know better call it a "coup" which is ridiculous. But then again those same people would now say that by my response here I am somehow agreeing with the actions there. But they'd say that about my response the same way a kid on a playground says "if you don't do xyz then it means that you don't want to be our friend!" It's the same lie a 5 year tells when he first learns to manipulate and hurt.

So it's wrong times two from those people based on those explanations.

Fair enough and neither did I. But you appeared to imply that it was a coup by leaving no other way out when you ragged on me for saying it was a protest. And make no mistake, that was a protest. That's it. I'm done. I'm not hearing this $#!( from the people of the goddam Technodrome for a myriad of reasons. And I'm not saying that because of the place nor the website. I'm saying that based on what I've learned about the lifestyle, mindset, education level and more of the average poster here.

We can get back to raggin' on Star Trek which I think was fair commentary in the point I made. Everyone else can put the "off-topic" in this thread on my shoulders. Just don't be a mouth breather about what I said about those protests in light of what the $#!( bag manipulators and liars on the other side has been doing for years.

And, CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy I don't have anything against you even in light of this either. But for what it's worth, I'm not hearing this ****.

Today "Queer" means as much as "I have a wart on my ass".

It's a way for straight people to pretend to be LGB without being homosexual. Which kind of a point of being LGB in the first place, but post-modern **** and the like...

Yeah she probably is. It would fit the operating model and zeitgeist of the era and service agenda of the show.

So yeah sure, why not. Cool? Move on, no one cares.
