Does this thread still need to be open?
I sometimes think we should close every thread in here a few times a year just to move on.Quote:

Trying to poke holes in her story while forgetting that nobody should be put in that position to begin with. Not to mention, deflect from the real story of those Trumpers trying to overturn an election through bloodshed.Quote:

Someone will need to spank herQuote:

not once have I ever said she shouldn't feel how she did, yet this continues to be the argument.Quote:

3. she vilified the Capitol police that came to help her, and I have not seen anything from her thanking him for doing his job and being there to help her.
it's good to see some thanking the Capitol police for what they did, AOC should give it a try.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told reporters he did not realize that he was walking toward a mob of rioters and said he was “very fortunate” that Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman warned him and directed him to safety.
“I was very fortunate indeed that Officer Goodman was there to get me into the right direction,” Romney said, adding that he is looking forward to thanking him.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I just want to give tremendous credit to the Capitol Police officers who were in my detail, like the rest of the Capitol Police officers, they are utterly amazing and great and we love them."

Oh, gosh...no. Keep it open. Pretty please? I want to see if we can hit 500 posts on what may be one of the most worthless side topics within a single thread.Quote:

It really seems logic is missing us somehow. Some is clearly driven by politicians who want us divided and the press using it as a lure, but some of it just comes down to people seeming more gullible than ever.Quote:

That argument is not true.
Who cares if she wasn't in the Capitol building. She was in the building connected to it while an angry mob was outside looking for her because she is one of the more prominent politicians these idiots wanted to make an example of.Quote:

As for your last point that has already been debunked as Sitewolf referenced.
