While it is true the protesters entering the capital's buildings was apparently the first such incidents since the War of 1812, this is primarily due to police and security not being put in place to stop the attack. Past violent eras in US history, whether the chaos after the Revolutionary War, the Civil War or the strikes and battles of Pullman strike in 1894 that saw 30 killed, America has a long history of political violence. The accusation today that the kind of chaos in the US looks like a “third world country” or “banana republic” seems to miss out on history.
First of all, coups, chaos, civil war and political violence are Western traditions. From the civil war in Spain in the 1930s to the attempt coup by Hitler in 1923 in Germany, many Western countries have seen violence in the last century. Second, the coups in many “banana republics,” were as often by foreign interventions as by locals. Whether it was the revolution that led to the Castro regime in Cuba or the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, the US and many Western democracies, as well as the Soviet Union, played a role in making coups appear “third world.” Without the Cold War overshadowing many countries in Latin America or many newly independent African and Asian states in the 1960s, would there have been so many coups?
In many cases, officials moved to depose leaders only after assuming they had support from the US or Russia. Whether Ngo Dinh Diem in Vietnam, Patrice Lumumba in the Congo or Salvador Allende in Chile, their overthrow and killing was closely tied to Cold War rivalries, which the US and other Western democracies played a key role in.
Somebody (Ivanka worried about her long-term grifting opportunities in the cheap shoe industry?) sedated Trump at 3 am and put out that tweet.
Whoever was holding Lindsay Graham hostage should release the information now rather than to allow him to gleefully walk away. Every one of these assholes needs to go down with the ship.

i can't remember who it was but somebody yesterday called Lindsay a suckerfish. he has no backbone himself, he just clings to the closest apex predator he can.

just look at this. the capitol police had no chance. they were woefully undermanned to stop this mob. let's stop bashing them and start asking why the back door was left unlocked.
Anyone notice in the ‘I’m crying because I got maced’ Elizabeth video she’s actually holding an onion in her towel and rubbing it on her eye? Once you see it you can’t unsee it.
i'm so confused by this. why is she doing this? ie, who's side is she on?
Don’t bother using the word antifa - genuinely, doing so validates the right’s repetition of the word.
Yes, people identify with it, but no, unlike the Proud Boys, it’s not some organized entity.
