15. No one asks how scaffolding wood "just happened" to be there.

If you need further evidence of a planned assault, this is it.

People who compare Jan 6 to BLM protests are disingenuous. The history of this date must not be whitewashed.

Felon47 is making a big deal of pardoning the insurrectionists, under the "no harm, no foul" principle.

He's wrong, as usual.

A presidential pardon does not remove the underlying conviction. Instead, it signifies official forgiveness for the crime and can restore certain civil rights lost due to the conviction, such as the right to vote or hold public office. However, the conviction itself remains on the individual's record and is not erased or expunged. source

Watching a felon pardon felons is going to be great entertainment. Get the popcorn.
