    Honestly though. I thought it would take hundreds of casualties to get into the capital building. And really, is trump actually in the white house much? Golf ain’t going to play itself. But these protests build up the confidence of people who want to do more. It makes them feel like the people are behind them. So maybe these are warm ups for taking the white house.

      It would have if they hadn’t been almost exclusively white members of the MAGA cult. One reason why there were so few cops hindering them was that Trump ordered a standdown, and another was the fact that there were more cops participating in the coup attempt than resisting it.

      If it had been a diverse leftist group, you better believe there’d be both cops and military shooting to kill rather than the suspiciously restrained tactics employed that day.

      If there is a warmup, I think the Mar-a-Lago would be a good place to make things toasty. It makes it clear what waits for Trump if he continues to use the Oval Office as a toilet bowl.
