Unintentional (and non-Freudian) mistype. I meant, "he." That one is quite embarrassing.
One of the two Georgia seats goes to Democrat

And I won't say WW2 ITSELF was military interventionism, but the competitions in various areas for posturing between the U.S. and USSR in the last year of the war and FDR forcing Britain and France to agree to post-war decolonization terms for what become obvious as not so benign reasons later, and they're presaging the early Cold War, can't be disregarded.
Well, I guess yes. Shutting down the government sounds like a legislative success!
The Republicans usually count it a success when they shut down a Democrat government but shutting down your own government a success?

If a legislative body can't pass a budget in time, they should all lose their seats immediately, and ad hoc elections with no incumbents allowed to run again should immediately be held!
Trump is a disrupter!
So planning for the end of a long deadly war after which there will be known tensions is adventurism? Your blindness to the actual context of the times and the decision-making environment of is astounding.
yes, Trump idiots have stormed the capital.
Security there has failed.
From the live feed, it looks like a good place for tear gas.
On Dutch breaking news I see on the live feed tear gas being used in the Rotunda

They're also besieging the Georgia state capitol.

Rambling and inconsistent
If they were black, they'd already be gassed to oblivion. >_>

Play with me.
But since they're white and republican, tear gas, rubber bullets and any measures of any kind are out of the question.

Seems like an hour is a long time in politics.
2 hours ago, Obama tweeted:
My friend John Lewis is surely smiling down on his beloved Georgia this morning,
as people across the state carried forward the baton that he and so many others
passed down to them.

Frankly, all American protests are getting kid gloves compared to many places. Do you really think that Maduro, Museveni, Putin, Lukashenko, Rafsanjani, Kim, Mnangagwa, would be so kindly too any such rioters, regardless of demographic. Americans across the board have no idea how good they have it when they whine and gripe as though "Man in High Castle," has literally come to fruition. Perspective and proportion, please! And, on that note, I can't help but notice you're still alive and not unjustly locked up in a prison-industry cell over jacked up charges. Aren't the odds of that supposed to be immensely slim, by your narrative?

Again and again and again. That the other side did it too is not a reason why to give the side with which you identify a pass to do the same. This stupid whataboutism is part of the reason why US is getting deeper and deeper into this mess.

Suspiciously convenient time to come out with that, now that the jackboot's on the other foot.
