Calling the rioters unarmed is a conservative myth.

"Trump and some of his allies continue to claim that all of the people at the Capitol on January 6 were unarmed.

In a December 21 statement, Trump called January 6 a "completely unarmed protest." Similarly, in a tweet on December 17, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia wrote, "One of the biggest holes in the lie about J6 being a planned insurrection is that all the people there were unarmed. Anyone with half a brain knows that gun owners only leave their firearms at home when they don't feel the need to carry a gun or are obeying the law."

Facts First: It's not even close to true that all of the people at the Capitol on January 6 were unarmed -- and the claim is still false even if it is specifically about guns. People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far "over 75" people charged in connection to the attack "have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon."

Exactly what do folks think those cable ties were for?

Should be down within the year. They are going through it pretty fast.
I find the interviews with those that are pleading innocent particularly interesting. They are the ones that want the media attention and are happy to be on the news shows.
I saw one last night with the proud boy guy from Nashville that was fascinating. It gave some real insight in to how these criminals rationalize their behavior.
The shaman interview was also worth watching.

Very much looking forward to the senate testimonies. They are maybe even more fascinating.

noogie {orig. unkn.} 1. Juve. an act of rubbing or striking a person's head with the knuckles, esp. as a penalty. Also as v. [First cited occurrence:] 1972 N.Y.U. student: A noogie is a kind of a punch or a jab you give someone with your third and middle finger. You do it on the forehead or the shoulder. 2. usu. pl. a testicle. Joc. [Cited occurrence:] 1985 Northport, N.Y., woman, age 33: It's better than freezing your noogies off.

In phrase:

tough noogies! hard luck! too bad! [First cited occurrence:] 1972 N.Y.U. student: Tough noogies! is something we used to say {*ca*1959} for tough ****!

All three of Lighter's first occurrence's are from New York, although the earliest instance of "tough noogies" that I found (from 1967) is from Washington, D.C. From Sherry Schultz, "Soiree: O, Heighdy Ho," in the [American University, Washington, D.C.] Eagle (April 14, 1967) includes this item:"

I could have looked it up but thanks for the explanation.
DeSantis nailed it.

Zzzzzzzz.........A huge media created nothingburger giving lefties a pass to wring their hands and gnash their teeth.

In the NY draft riots, armed mobs attacked black citizens, burning their homes and in one case setting fire to a black orphanage after nailing the doors shut and firing guns on anyone attempting to escape. That's desecration and it happened.

Of course, to conservatives it is CRT.
