I won't bother Polk, because they at least had enough sense to move on after he got dunked for their stupid election predictions.

But Frothyanus, TesticleSwallower and PostivelyStupid should be shamed off of RealGM for their sedititous, fascist BS


Can we still dunk on them for their terrible basketball takes?


Sure, just be sure to end every reply to them with

Even Donald Junior said no good. The pic of the bench next to the House door with guns drawn is pretty shocking.

There is the craziness of Trump and what people sort of ignored, but the lack of preparation here too. Both things.

Got to be the most shocking and inexplicable letdown of police preparation of all time. A bench? In the most powerful country on Earth on a day that everybody saw coming for months. Makes zero sense.

She’s still calling them patriots after they stormed a federal building to disrupt the constitutional process.

You know why? B/C this is all it takes to keep the MAGAland lemmings in check

If this had been 10,000 black men and women storming their way into the US Capitol, there would be dead bodies strewn all along those steps. Does anybody still not understand why we march??? :nonono:

BLM was rioting in DC for like 6 months during a pandemic. Millions in property damage. Stop making up fake, hypothetical double standards.

Are you **** kidding me? This is the Capitol of the United States we’re talking about. They should’ve been shot on demand.

2. People who were in certain positions in charge of security (Police, etc…) were sympathetic to Trump and let this happen.
3. They let this happen to make Trump look even worse before he goes. Perhaps they could use this to charge him for sedition, he was calling for this, for a while now, including this morning.

No way this should have happened. This makes no sense at all. It makes you wonder why it happened. There has to be a serious investigation into this, that is for sure.

Was thinking the same re security. The only thing I can think is that Trump forbid it. :dontknow:

BREAKING: someone was shot in the chest in The Capital Building.


Yup, that is quite possible. That is why this will have to be investigated. No way in hell this should have happened. They should not have gotten near the Capital entrance.

Racism and tax cuts. That's what these deplorables voted for.

Anyone with a brain saw it was going to end here.

I don't see how "the police are fundamentally flawed and clearly racially biased against minorities so we need to fix that" and "we shouldn't let armed thugs storm the capital building because their patron deity lost an election" are hypocritical viewpoints

I mean, if you have trouble comprehending ideas that take more than 4 words to express and you have to dumb it down to "abolish literally all police," then I can understand your hardship in understanding the situation.


it's basic strawman trolling no one should dignify with response. :dontknow:
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

And anyone who voted for Trump and the Republicans is responsible for this as well

At best, they're enablers. At worst, they're secretly cheering for these people

This is who the Republican base is at this point. If you still vote for them despite this, you need to do some serious self-reflection and honestly ask yourself if you're a good person.
