America has gone really boring without Trump.....

Thank god!

He is correct; everyone else who stormed the capitol should also be in jail and not at home. But also: hahahahahahahahaha on that traitor-loser.

Suddenly finding out what the US justice system is like...

Now that Garland has been confirmed as the next AG, I'm hopeful that he is going to concentrate on prosecuting all these people.

Two Are Charged With Assault on Officer Who Died After Capitol Riot

The suspects used a chemical spray to attack a group of officers, law enforcement officials said, but the authorities stopped short of filing charges in the death of Officer Brian Sicknick.

What percentage of insurrectionists who stormed the capitol also condemned the BLM protests (e.g., calling the participants "thugs" or saying they broke the law, etc.) via social media? I reckon it's probably about 95%. Are there any data on this?

Predictably, the Yelp reviews of their business are blowing up (scroll all the way down). Hope they rot in prison for a long time.

I haven't come across any but I would be interested in knowing the percentage too, I bet it is high. Like everything from the other side, hypocrisy at its highest.

Another rioter is released by a judge appointed by Trump. Must be nice to be white.

This is secondary and maybe won’t be popular but can we stop this? In the past week there were multiple shootings and prevented shootings by whites, African Americans, and Hispanics, and not one was referred to as terrorism. Yet people get upset by this? Call them all terrorism or none of them and complain about them all being terrorism or none of them. But the real issue is the violence, not the label and making it race related.

Not sure you understand what is meant by terrorism.
