Poking fun at recent news...
Update is the best part of SNL. Cold openings are sometimes pretty funny too. The rest of the show, meh.
Riots outside yes, but the Jan 6th commission never released footage from inside the Capitol, which shows clearly INSIDE the building there was very little violence.
But many cheer as the security state beefs up it's powers because of this incident.
Pelosi was in charge of security that day.
Funny as it's not referred to as an "armed" insurrection anymore, because the only thing they were "armed" with is flagpoles.
Well, if you only watch Fox and/or Newsmax, that is all they show. As I don't watch either, I have seen video from Jan. 6th of the insurrectionists being violent inside the building, as well as documentation of their pissing taking craps and smearing feces on the walls.
@snytiger6 He watched the Tucker Carlson version of the January 6 events. Where a group of gentlemen in tuxedos visited the white house to have tea with nancy Pelosi.
@TheoryNumber3 Please refer to what I just posted in Philosophy and Meaning. I think there may have been a different consensus between me and others on what an insurrection actually is. My bad.
Ed @snytiger6 ditto for you
@TheoryNumber3 And what was their intent?
I'll have to look up other words now because the US confuses me and differing definitions may be it. Words like "freedom", "openness" and "peace".
@puff I'm bored with this debate. Please harass someone else.
@TheoryNumber3 Just gets me how it is made out to be the worse crisis since 9/11 and even heard it compared to the civil war by Democratic politicians. When the previous year you had cities burning from BLM and they encouraged that.
If you can't open, it's footage of a guy wearing a MAGA hat screaming at fully armed and shielded riot clad police to do something outside the Capital building
"Why are you letting this happen? Why haven't you called for backup? Where is your backup? This is our damn Capitol building and you'll letting it get destroyed on your watch!! What's wrong with you? Call for backup. Get some help down here"
The police ignore him and continue to stand back and not get involved.
