No, but I only know that because she flew out of Oakland where as the plane in that article flew out of SF. The story in that article is similar to the one that has been relayed to me within the family. One of my siblings is trying to talk with her and has been our only real source of info so far other than her brief visual on the TV screen. Apparently there was sort of a group fantasy shared online at some point about how they would fill up these planes and then fly to DC to save the president...singing the national anthem as if the flight does not take like 8 hours+. Part of the story does make me laugh though. Apparently only one or two people knew all the words.

There are no words (NSFL)

Holy cow, that is severely depressing...

56% of Americans (both d and r) — believe that Trump should be removed from office before his term ends. And two-thirds of respondents - 67% — said he deserves a “good amount” or a “great deal” of blame for the rioting last week.

Jivaro and others if you want to read more stories of families being ripped apart by Q, here's a subreddit, it shows how deep the problem is. Yes we are on the cusp of some kind of war, they aren't going away and as we see now they are planning on storming all capitols. Oh and there hasn't been one Q thing I've read that is grounded to the point I can even consider, it's such unbelievable fiction that changes as their shit gets debunked over and over.

I feel for me it is important to understand what I'm dealing with.

To all that say freedom of speech is being taken away, again gov't and private are different, but what do you expect to happen if you attack the gov't and don't topple? You should expect the toughest reactions and penalties that can be given to Americans imo, that's what I would have thought. I like to make things simpler to grasp, other than the whole gov't. What does Horrorscope think will happen if he goes attack my local police station? Bad, bad things, expect death or life in prison.

You'll get your chance.
After the divorce she'll have a ghost written novel that you can read on the shitter.

I don't really care one way or the other, but I have to admit it would be semi-interesting to know Melania's thoughts on various subjects...

Melankia doesn't blame "husband" for Capitol riot

Loyal till the end or until the check bounces.

I would have used the inflatable slide to escape.
The only thing worse was the flight to the colicky baby convention.
I have to agree with the flight attendants, put the lot of them on the no-fly list.

This pilot said he would dump them in Kansas.
In/Over, what's the difference.

This was the one to, not the one from

If I remember correctly, each of those neo-nazis had some single event which made them take a step back and reconsider what they were doing. Something like that could happen to her. As with the neo-nazis I imagine the best thing would be a former Trumpster showing the way, but it won't happen until she starts to have a reason to question it.

Her young adult children are who I worry about. Both in their early 20s, both have been quiet about all of this so far which probably means they knew she was going. Hard spot for them to be in. I don't think either one subscribes to her thinking but I thought she had already changed her views so what do I know right?

Your sister reminds me of some of the Tea Partiers from a decade ago who chanted "Keep your government hands off my Medicare."

"Hey look, Amy's on TV!" is not the kind of thing you want to hear when you're watching the insurrection coverage.

That's quite a story. I hope she's okay.

Over the top? Pretty sure death penalty is normal for treason and attempted hostage taking etc.

Sorry I meant use of deadly force. Not death penalty.

And the hits keep coming.

The PGA of America cut ties to President Donald Trump when it voted Sunday to take the PGA Championship event away from his New Jersey golf course next year.

Okay, we need a lot more of this:

BlueCross BlueShield said it's stopping donations to all 147 Republicans who challenged the Electoral College results.
Commerce Bank said it, too, is halting its PAC contributions to officials it says "have impeded the peaceful transfer of power."

Thank God there's at least one member of Congress with a spine.
Nancy Pelosi is giving pence 24 hours to 25th the Loser and if the VP can't get his shit together the house will impeach the piece of shit.
Donnie's legacy will be nothing but an orange stain similar to what I get in my underwear when i eat canned chili.

I find it surprising that Biden gets so much support here within the gaming community.
Joe Biden is on record against video games, which he believes promotes violence.
He even called gamers "little creeps" and said video games "teach you how to kill people."

I just don't think you are reading what people are posting.

I read this thread and the point seems to be that people voted for Biden because he isn't Trump. These repeated, and often not actually accurate, attempts to discredit Biden or Harris just look foolish. You aren't going to discredit them enough to make people regret voting for them instead of Trump. They literally have not done anything in their lives that deserves the response Trump does currently.

Is that awesome and good to have to vote for the lesser of two perceived evils? No, of course not. That would be idiotic IMHO to believe that. I am just saying that this "i am surprised video game players"....and the other crap is just that..crap. No you aren't. You are surprised that people disagree with you in such large and overwhelmingly convinced numbers. We are telling you that you shouldn't be and you are reaching for things. just stop. Trump attempted a coup man. 6 people, as another cop died from his injuries, are dead. Everyday that Republicans don't react to Trump like they did over Bengazi they are telling Democrats and movements like BLM that they have been right all along about the party as a whole and not just Trump.

I don't know you from anybody, but wow...you just seem consumed with defending something you know isn't defensible while simultaneously telling us Biden/Harris is somehow worse. It's not reality.

Look, you know what, I am gonna share something maybe I shouldn't but I feel the need to.

My step-sister went to DC and a part of the Trump protest. She is a cancer survivor in remission who believes COVID19 is a hoax and Trump is the only one who can save this country but those evil democrats stole the election from him. We, as in her family, didn't know she had gone to DC until her sister saw her on TV. We still don't know for certain whether she was part of the group that went in the Capitol and I doubt we will find out anytime soon. All we saw of her on TV was her and her boyfriend walking with a group of Trump supporters without masks on. We put a gofundme up for her and asked our friends family and complete strangers to donate when she was diagnosed and seeking treatment. She took government money to pay her bills and save her life. And she is doing that? The many ways her father and mother are upset by this are not something I need to detail. Her dad is a Vietnam vet and between his daughter possibly throwing her life away and possibly committing treason he is beside himself in a way that makes you worry about people at his age...82. Aside from all the Trump bullshit that enrages her family, this ignorant and selfish action with regards to her own health has generated a whole other level of anger. All o this is on top of another fact: my step-sister has always been a racist. She was a closeted racist, then she pretended to be a recovered former racist, and now we find out she has been leading this Proud Girl (don't even get me started) underground life. She joined up with a plane loads of them to fly to DC. They sang the anthem on the plane over and hid in oversized hoodies on the flight home to avoid cams. Her and her whole social group did this. They planned it out on private forums. She was married to a Proud Boy and we thought his outing was news but she knew and supported it all along.

This is the face of a Trump supporter man. It's not connected to reality. Buffalo man, Nancy pelosi desk dude, my STEP SISTER, these ARE NOT the faces of ANTIFA bro. These are the faces of the Trump movement and there isn't any "allegedly" about it. Liars, attention seekers, racists, and often purposely ignorant people that deny easily verifiable facts to continue living in their delusion.

I urge you to re-examine this whole thing.

Jesus dude, that’s quite a story.
It’s identical to a drug user or alcoholic trying to hide their use from the family.
Somebody could make a killing with a treatment center that did interventions/abductions/reprogramming and relocating these poor folk.

Some, like me, go numb and just see this as a proof of all my worst fears for humanity.

Bill Maher has a saying "Imagine if Obama did it..." and he's spot-on. If Obama had pulled even 1% of the crap this President has done there'd be uproar from the Right.
Instead most of them rode on Trump's coattails, dismissed his rhetoric as theatre and here we are.
I had hoped 2021 would get off to a more promising start, what with vaccines coming, but now I think we're going to look back at 2020 fondly.

Too much doom scrolling today...apologies

There can never be too much doom scrolling, i’ve been doing it continuously, 24 seven since about 11 PM on November 8, 2016. And it turns out I was right all along.

New York Times Magazine
The American Abyss
“Even when he won, in 2016, he insisted that the election was fraudulent — that millions of false votes were cast for his opponent. In 2020, in the knowledge that he was trailing Joseph R. Biden in the polls, he spent months claiming that the presidential election would be rigged and signaling that he would not accept the results if they did not favor him. He wrongly claimed on Election Day that he had won and then steadily hardened his rhetoric: With time, his victory became a historic landslide and the various conspiracies that denied it ever more sophisticated and implausible.“
