    Now that's fair and balanced.

    this is factually incorrect.

    the 2019 El Paso shooting & Pittsburgh synagogue shooting alone have more bodies than "Left-wing terrorism" on American soil in the last 30 years.

    The Las Vegas shooter has more blood on his hands than those two events plus “left wing” and Islamic terror excluding 9/11 and WTC bombing.

    and COVID has killed more in a day than all of them.

    The point is that this is evidence that the people invading the Capitol were directly motivated by Trump to do so.

    Let's not forget that the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building killed 168 and was carried out by a Right Wing extremist.

    Taking a guess here that this is going to be an ongoing and growing problem (not just for funding right wing extremist but any extremist and terrorist groups) because

    1- very hard to track source
    2- easy to transfer (??)

    Exclusive: Large bitcoin payments to right-wing activists a month before Capitol riot linked to foreign account (yahoo.com)

    U.S. law enforcement is investigating whether the donations were linked to the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

    ..

    “These extremist groups are probably more well organized and well funded than what was previously believed,” she said. Chainalysis maintains a database of “domestic extremists” who have cryptocurrency accounts, and while the company has traced donations to right-wing groups over the years, the December deposit was “the single biggest month we’ve ever observed” directed toward these causes, the researchers wrote.

    “This is evidence to show they’re raising money,” Kennedy said. Additionally, the fact that the donor was outside the United States suggests “this has international scope,” she continued, a fact that “law enforcement should be paying attention to.”

    Now Alexander claims to be in hiding, alleging in a video posted Friday that he needs $2,000 a day to fund his security detail and other expenses and hitting his fans up for donations. In a bizarre moment in his fundraising pitch, Alexander claimed that he was being targeted by the supernatural: “Witches and wiccans are putting hexes and curses on us.”

    He has learned much from Trump, never stop grifting.

    It’s still so surreal that people put this reality tv host and conman in charge of the country. It’s a straight line from that to batshit insanity that we’re seeing today...

    ...like say a pillow salesman in the freakin White House advising the president to try to overthrow democracy (after his first attempt failed)

    Those garage metal doors seem really flawed. They can't just go down with force? They seem to be as sensitive as regular garage door opener sensors. If this was a White House Down style attack, the North Koreans would still be there.

    Not just.

    Would probably break into the Capitol himself if he wasn't restricted by his gown.

    Treason is currently in fashion it seems.
