I'm not aware of any credible source that says there was a call to action. I can totally see a counter protest happening just like there is at all political rallies. But, trying to hand off the blame to other political movements for what happened is disgraceful, and cowardly.

And yes, Sullivan, should be treated no different than any of the others who stormed the Capitol. As far as I'm aware he was the only left wing activist that has so far been proven to have been there. Stop trying to deflect the blame on to left wingers.

Those are 1 week old conspiracy theories now. Even Fox News and the Republican House Leader (McCarthy) are now saying there is no evidence of Antifa & BLM. At some point you have to ask yourself if you trust your source of information.
Hopefully you're not talking about the guy with the so called Antifa tattoo, which as both my young adult boys informed me, is actually a tattooed symbol from the video game Dishonored.

Could some of these be Bahamians returning home after a trip?

Also, COVID isn't a moral hazard, it's a health hazard. And vaccines are much, much safer than the diseases they protect against.

Exactly, I agree 100% with what you're saying. I just don't understand why a pharma company shouldn't be indemnified for developing something that could, and will, save thousands of lives. As long as they have followed all required regulations & laws, it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think it's only Trump supporters who are Patriots or fly the flag. Plenty of non-Trump supporters are, and do, as well. Beating, looting and murder have unfortunately been around forever. I don't think it's right to single out BLM & Antifa. It's not a new thing (Prohibition, Slavery, KKK, etc etc). All those things happened throughout history in America, and will continue to happen, and did just happen on Wednesday this week..

Yeah, I agree with you there. I don't get the hate more than I don't get the love. I can't ever remember a politician that I 'loved' or admired in all my life. I've just basically taken everything they say as lip-service, pandering to their 'people'. I tune them out as soon as they start their rants, just like I do with the wife, only she does it more frequently.
It takes a certain type of person (maybe an egomaniac) to want to become a politician. Maybe that's why I don't get the love or the hate, because I could never be like that.

Works the same with both left and right side news. Although I wouldn't call any of them 'news' channels. More like cable opinion networks for D average educated Americans, who only want to hear what they already believe in so that it can reinforce their beliefs and alleviate their own insecurities

Hero worshipping, or what? Actually I can think of another more appropriate way to describe your adoration for this man, but it would get removed from this site.
I've never understood how people can get so consumed by and defensive about a political leader. Saw the same with Obama too.
