Go for it. Telling people to resist Trump's psychotic tendencies is preferable to the president telling people to march on the capitol and "take back the country," because he lost an election. Stop equating the destruction of a Wendy's to an assault on the capitol while congress was in session! It's insane.

And again, zero politicians told protests groups to burn down businesses; THE PRESIDENT told his supporters to subvert democracy for his own gain. For the millionth time, rioting by either side is unacceptable; but the difference is one side was protesting civil injustice which included police murdering people in the street; while the other side attacked the capitol because their guy lost an election. There is simply no comparison from a moral standpoint. None.

You really think that the Trump supporters did more damage than the George Floyd rioters? Seriously, are you that dumb?

How many buildings were destroyed the other day in Washington? How many small businesses were looted? How many injuries and deaths occurred the other day compared to what happened during the summer? And more importantly, are you gonna honestly answer any of these questions?

Both sides are fucked up, Ray. Get a friggin clue, will you?

I explained this in detail already, multiple times. Let me ask you this. Though it was hard to tell the other day-- generally speaking, which has more security? A Wendy's, a mom and pop coffee shop or the US Capitol? Why do you suppose that is? The US Capitol is the center of our system of government! Burn down a Wendy's, they rebuild. Somebody walks into the Capitol while congress is in session with a bomb, surveillance equipment or a fucking thumb drive with a computer virus. Do you see what was at stake here?

Terrorists don't care about Wendy's, they now have ideas about what it takes to circumvent security at the highest of high value targets: a MAGA hat and an American flag. Then you can walk right in! We don't know the ramifications of this from a security standpoint. We may never know what was compromised. It isn't about damage in dollars or lasting images of stuff on fire; it's much bigger than that.

Both sides are fucked up, Ray.

Thank you, this is all I wanted to hear. It's what I've been saying from the beginning. There's no defense for Wednesday's terrorist attack. "Some people who lean a different way politically also rioted and destroyed property." Yes. And? So now it's all clear for everyone to see that there are nuts on both sides who take things too far. We've been over the BLM protests already, I don't ever want to hear about conservatives being the party of law and order and supporting police after what we saw Wednesday. As you said, both sides are fucked up.
