Poor Jacob's finding out the hard way that meth and violent uprisings against one's government do not mix.

I wonder whether they'll keep the digs at the end toward Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. ;)

Brandon Fellows: "This one is going to get me incriminated." And you posted it anyway. As deadly as this attack was to our democracy, at the same time, a lot of the footage that people took of others just roaming around the halls looks like the stupidest, most ill-organized parent-teacher night ever.

Here's one Florida resident's reaction to the news: I still think there's something fishy about that.

I remember when the RNC released its' diagnostics report after Obama's victory, pinning the GOP's failure on its' inability to reach out to "communities of color." They didn't heed that report, and now, it looks as if that decision's coming back to bite them.

So, what happens if you're gay already and you take the vaccine? Do you become Peter Allen?

I shouldn't revel in others' misfortunes, but it'd be such delicious irony to see Leticia James and Fani Willis (and other WOC) take down Trump's phony ass. I figured we'd get around to blaming movies, TV and video games for the attack before too long.

Unfortunately, in this ever-changing world in which we're living, as soon as we exalt individuals like Daniel Hodges to hero status, we find ways to tear them down. I'm sure it won't be too long before we find out something really salacious about him -- like, he likes to beat the hell out of women while high on crank at illegal cock-fighting matches, or something.

Frankly, I learned awhile back it was going to be $1400 rather than 2K, so I don't understand why people are acting confused and upset now. Maybe they heard only what they wanted to hear?

The family Trump's leaving D.C. like the end of "Harlem Nights," with a trunk full of money and a building in flames. I remember watching that moment and thinking, "Is that REALLY what you want your audience to be cheering?".

Nope, not just you, lol. For that matter, I can't see Matthew Ashford's Jack sleeping with Susan Flannery's OR Jaime Lyn Bauer's Laura under ANY circumstances.

Well, I hope the GOP is happy: thanks to Donald Trump, they have officially become the party of fascism and white supremacy. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the only way "establishment" Republicans will ever survive politically is to dissociate entirely from the party and either become Independents or form a new, third party.

It's like what Anthony Anderson's character said once, on "Black-ish": "How am I supposed to love a country that don't love me back!?".

I must be 1% Republican, too, lol. If a POC can get life in prison just for having a bag of weed in his car, why shouldn't someone, or a bunch of someones, who plotted to overthrow the government get similar punishment? No doubt, if people of color had been responsible for the riots, they'd already be swinging from the nearest trees. Meh. I always knew that bubba was, well, a bubba.

It is. But, it's up to Congress to rise above their fears and do what's best for the country -- which is, of course, to vote to impeach and convict an outgoing president who openly incited a riot in order to overturn an election he will insist to the day he croaks was rigged against him. As you can tell, I don't feel sorry at all for the Republicans who are afraid to vote in favor of impeachment/conviction out of fear of what their base will do to them. By pandering to those idiots' worst fears and prejudices, the GOP fed and watered the gremlins who ultimately breached the halls of our government; and now that they are out of the party's control, the Republicans on Capitol Hill are "scurred"? Well, that's just too damn bad. Look at the Democrats (and few Republicans) who continue to speak out against this administration and violent events such as the insurrection at the Capitol. Hell, look at anyone who has had the courage in the past four-or-so years to speak out against Trump. They're all just as vulnerable to physical and other attacks from Trump supporters as are these "scared" Republicans. They have just as much to lose, if not more, in voting to convict that man. Yet, they refuse to be silent or anonymous about their fears and distrust of this administration, because they saw, from day one, that Trumpism wasn't just some passing fancy, but an existential threat to our very way of life. Could the Senate do a special, secret vote? Sure. But, I say, that's cowardly. I say, let every vote be broadcast on every network and corner of the Internet, and published on the front page of every newspaper and magazine, too. Let each and every American know EXACTLY where each Senator stood on this crucial moment in our democracy's history. If that results in senators being intimidated into voting not to convict, fine. The majority of people who helped the Democratic Party take back the House, the Senate and the WH will remember their names the next time they're at the voting booths, and they'll do the American and democratic thing and vote them out.
