Or, you know....the defenses put in place to deter a repeat of the seditious attack on our Capitol....you know, worked. It deterred them.


Guess our intelligence got it right.

However, we should always remember, Tucker is an idiot. Additionally, as per his own bosses, "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' " and "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes.".


His own bosses say he's not to be taken literally. Of course, they also presume his viewers know this and don't take him as news. Which appears to be incorrect.

Well it's official, MAGA is dead. All over the country they had 1 or a handful of protestors at state capitals. Seems they have finally given up, Q members will crawl back under their rock.

We got our country back yesterday.

Rather than 'imagined' (which daft folks might do in good faith), I'd suggest the faux-fear and the faux-threat were deliberately manufactured in DC.

(The massive deployment of the Guard somehow validates the faux-fear.)

How are they doing? How many state capitols have been broken into? How many windows broken so far? How many cars and buildings burned, stores looted?

Must be awfully exciting across the country right about now.

Please list your news reports (with links) for every one you hear about it happening.

One such prediction:

Armed protests being planned at all 50 state capitols, FBI bulletin says
An internal FBI note obtained by ABC News shows warnings of "a huge uprising."

US Capitol riots: Tracking the insurrection

Starting this week and running through at least Inauguration Day, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and at the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News.

The FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for “storming” state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event President Donald Trump is removed from office prior to Inauguration Day. The group is also planning to “storm” government offices in every state the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated, regardless of whether the states certified electoral votes for Biden or Trump.

Well, there were violent riots, and even DNC office buildings were broken into and vandalized. Too bad for the dems the violence and rioting were not done by "right-wingers."

I think the Democrats were hoping there might be something from the right, because they really want to use it as an excuse for justify purging all republicans from the federal government. I wonder if the Biden admin will still try to find a way continue vilifying republicans, so they can carry out a purge.

So, no mention of the ICE offices being attacked as well ? Nah, let's just regurgitate the same divisive rhetoric...Do you know they were Republicans ?

Far-left riots erupt in Seattle, Portland on inauguration day
The unrest near the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) building was declared after rioters started throwing rocks and eggs, and vandalizing the building, located in the city's south waterfront neighborhood, Portland police Sgt. Kevin Allen said in a 10 p.m. update.

The group smashed windows and spray-painted anarchist symbols Wednesday at the political party building. Police said eight arrests were made.
