Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

So…
People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?
Oh, my sweet summer children.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...

Holocaust Encyclopedia defines a concentration camp as “Functioning outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.”
