What? He said he watched them storm in and instead he provides something he saw after the fact. Look, I am currently combing all of the video from the event for faces in a bid to help identify people who were in the capitol. That guy was NOT on any live stream. This the original claim of “saw it from being glued to the TVs and monitors” is a false one and I challenged op to find an example in the stream that he watch…

Not through the doors, but here's a window and a baseball bat, after breaking the window with a shield. https://youtu.be/SocnM1lHZB4?t=156 The link you posted before is a selection of the protests away from the building. I skipped through it and could not find any view of storming the building at all. Is this what you were looking for? Or are you specifically looking for people who had their weapons in the open and v…

Mobs have torn people apart with their bare hands. Once a mob gets going there is no way to know what will happen, it is like an avalanche. This one fizzled out for lack of targets, which is a very good thing because I don't want to imagine where it could have ended otherwise.

I'm a native-born American citizen and we used the phrase figuratively in my household as I was growing up. Just saying.

Here's the full quote: "Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci. Now I actually want to go a step farther, but I realize the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man. I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes". Now the generally understood figurative meaning of putting someone's "head on a pike" is "fire them in disgrace". But Bannon's ruled that one…

Hmm so wishing for something tongue-in-cheek is bannable. Got it.

The headline has important context: “YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel hours after Rudy Giuliani appeared on an episode and blamed the Capitol siege on Democrats” At some point the lies need to stop.

Also from the original article: "On November 5, 2020, Twitter permanently suspended Bannon after he called for Dr Anthony Fauci to be beheaded in an episode." It's good they finally pulled the trigger, but considering that Steven Bannon has been constantly putting oil to the fire on every single channel available, that point was very certainly much earlier.

I've seen the term "permanently suspended" several times already. Not a native speaker, could someone please explain to me the difference between that and "banned"?

At some point the lies need to be brought to court.

So ... They are biased but not lying?

The investigation found nothing. A producer on CNN event admitted it was fake and that they are doing it for views. https://www.valleynewslive.com/content/news/Video-shows-CNN-... Seems like they are lying wouldn’t you say?

You are very confused about the findings of the Mueller Report.

> These are opinions though Help me out here, Hacker News. This guy thinks: "Democrats attacked the capital", is an opinion. How do we even talk to this person?

In my city every act of violence at BLM rallies was somehow blamed on white supremacist and Proud Boys by the local media and on social media. We're fully post-fact now, and it's not just Republicans playing this game.

Exactly, and no Dem ever gets deplatformed for these incessant lies that lead to violence and death. Shows you it's all an excuse to purge Republicans (liars though they may be)

The lies are 100% of the reason the capital riot happened, so yes, they do need to stop. Fox News lies every single day. What do we expect from a population of people that only hear these lies, day in and day out? They're going to react just like they did on 1/6.

As much as people rail on Fox News, OAN is much more concerning and rising in popularity.

Nowhere near enough to actually influence the election.

What information do you have that allows you to make that determination? It was a very close election.

The fact that the Senate report itself does not question the outcome of the 2016 election would be a big one.

The fact that Russian operation was much smaller that either candidate's political campaigns.

Also, just the general lack of evidence that it was a decisive factor.[1]

Just so everyone knows, this is the type of stuff that aired of Foxnews days before the riot: https://youtu.be/oV97eEFJ4xI A rallying call like that simply doesn’t work on Democrats, but god does it work on Republicans. I just don’t see any of this dying down at all, and the Republicans are always prepared to tap into this demo around election time (in two years time at the mid terms). They live for this. Banning the…

Can someone explain why this is downvoted?

Not downvoting, just observing: Likely the opinionated and unprovable claim (that his can not happen to democrats), stated as an absolute fact.
