US Capitol under siege

That… was honestly my first thought. I mean, I quickly grasped it must actually be unrelated and mean something else, but… yeah.

But the bad guy’s name is Gannon or Gannondorf.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

No, he’s the Tauran guy hanging out in the bar in World of Warcraft that rogues used to have to pick-pocket during their leveling/training.

Dude has 25,000 armed National Guards protecting his ass and he still doesn’t feel safe without his penis extension? WTF is wrong with people.

But but but…he’s got to be in the same room as AOC. That’s scary stuff.

If he votes against her motion requiring all house members to dance naked around a bonfire of bibles while hating God, she might press the button on her necklace that releases her from her human form and reveals her to be a shape-shifting alien lizard person.

If lizard person AOC turns on Andy Harris with her fire and brimstone breath and laser beam eyes and her six arms with knife fingers, he’s gonna need his gun. He’s a smart man that thinks strategically- for a Republican.

AOC just stole my signature move.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more.

Yes, as I later determined. But when you haven’t played any of the games in a while, it’s not “Gannon,” it’s “…some weird name starting with a G that would sound like you’re mumbling if you said it out loud.”

You’re not the only one that thought of the connection:

I somehow got gammon confused with some kind of pheasant like bird, and I was confused how that translated to describing a right wing extremist.

I saw something else in the news today or yesterday, some guy who was at the Insurrection who tried to go to the Inauguration and got caught and arrested.

I hadn’t realised that gammon wasn’t a term used in the US. Apparently it’s the equivalent of Virginia Ham. Virginia Ham as an insult doesn’t have the same ring to it.

That’s what you think, you [checks forum] Virginia Ham!

:wink:

It might if you’re living there (like, for college), but legally a resident of some other state.

Yeah, not really quite like what the 6th was. I’m sure whatever remaining issues can be covered in “The American Coup Fallout thread” or the “Did Trump protestors/insurrestionists shoot their wad?” thread. [/url]

meh, YMMV, I’spose.

But hey, fill your boots if folks still wanna do their thing here - figured I’d just float the suggestion by, that’s all.

Any Republican who feels they must bring a gun to protect themselves is thereby duty-bound to vote for impeachment.

I wonder about this on a daily basis these days.

If I brought a gun into my workplace I would be SO FIRED. Like, on the spot.

But they always hold their own rallies and conventions in venues which forbid guns, so how can they not understand?

They understand perfectly well.

Those “rules” apply to other people, not to me. And since I can’t trust that 100% of those other people follow the rules, they force me to violate the rules by being armed. It’s not even my fault I’m armed; it’s your fault I’m armed!
