Three active-duty Marines arrested for participating in Jan. 6 US Capitol riot
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/20/polit...est/index.html

Well, I hope these clowns will be dealt with by the military justice system; the UCMJ should have a nice paragraph or three about how to (very harshly) deal with insurrectionists.

Re: My previous comment of "Be given the choice of being blindfolded or not."

These are not ordinary citizens. They violated the oaths they took upon entering the service. They participated in an attempted coup against their own government. I'm not in favor of giving them lodging and healthcare for the rest of their lives.

Not really, and experience and exposure doesn't seem to always make them wiser. They come from the same electic population pool that produces magamorons and racist authoritarian fellow travelers.

Pink Floyd fans get angry at ‘woke’ rainbow logo, forgetting one thing
Talk about “we don’t need no education”…
https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/ne...-thing-342288/

Quote:
When it was first released back in 1973, it had a glass prism converting light into colour on the front of it.

Yet some people appear to have forgotten that, with the latest cover design provoking outrage on social media.


“Get woke, go broke,” one person fumed.

Another asked: “What is the connection between Pink Floyd masterpiece [sic] and LGBT? WTF?”

“Why did you have to make this logo political instead of staying true to your music? So tired of the political crap taking over everything,” sighed a third.
Only in Whell's World are people this ignorant.

Anyone upset at this is no true Pink Floyd fan. They can go pound sand.

Of course what the tRumplican masses will say is Chuck Todd was being rude to the, ahem, esteemed congressman from Ohio. I honestly think that's the only reason Jordan appeared on the show in the first place. To chum the waters for the Republican base. They're about as willing to listen to the facts as Gym Jordan is.
BTW, before anyone protests otherwise I did see the interview. Chuck Todd seemed at times quoting facts to a brick wall.
