There it is. FOX is already getting their minions in line. The Democrats are responsible. Fuck, I am going to have to bring in The Warriors movie again, I did the other day, I don’t know if it was in this thread. But I just took a 7 day trail to Cinemax, through Prime. Lot of great old movies there I haven’t seen in years. One was The Warriors, which I don’t think I have ever seen in HD, and certainly not on a 55 inch screen.

It feels a little weird that I’m now rooting for the sickly-looking Moscow Mitch to stay alive, for 2 weeks anyway. ---

With Maga flags, with Maga hats, shouting Maga slogans, and being interviewed on TV with a MAGA hat and giving your name and city. Sure, Antifa is gonna show up massively in front of trump, listen quietly to him pontificate for a couple hours- then go to the capital and start shit. Not to mention the Proud boys saying they were gonna go dress liek Antifa. ---

> [@Savannah](#): > > They’re claiming it’s “Antifa” dressed in MAGA, in order to make them look bad. Seriously. I’ve seen that elsewhere on the Web: “They broke the Capitol’s windows with riot shields. Only Antifa has riot shields. Therefore, it was Antifa breaking into the Capitol.” You can’t make this stuff up. ---

You can buy them on ebay. They are also mixing up Antifa- not organized- with the Black Bloc anarchists, which - ironically enuf- are really well organized. ---

Indeed. 2017 Women’s March in Washington was ~450,000 people. ~4 million across the US (I was in New York for it…was amazing, I have some great pics from it) and ~5 million across the world.
