Certifying the Vote.

It was a coup, Trump's a pedophile, and it's champagne no matter where it's bottled.

I can never remember which is "Capital" and which is "Capitol" in regards to which is the location, which is the governing body, and which is the actual building and I sincerely doubt I've been consistently right the last few days.

Many, many, many years ago, as a child, I was one of the three remaining contestants in my home County's (Wayne) spelling bee (next step- for the State!)
I was tripped up by not knowing the difference between those two (trivially easy to spell) versions of "capitol".

Damn you for re-opening old wounds!!!:mad:

It's Capitol when you're talking about the government or the building.

It's "capital" when you're referring to money.

It's also "capital" when you say, "The capital of the U.S. is Washington, D.C."

I think "Capitol" is reserved for the building (or the hill).

Guys showed up wearing "Civil War 2020 1/6/2021" hoodies.

I'm sure they printed them up at a print shop somewhere between the Ellipse and the Capitol, right?

The apologists have got to knock this **** off. No, this is not "not as bad as it seems." It is worse than it is made out to be.

Do you know they found two IEDs? These were prepared ahead of time and brought to the event. These were Nazis*** who came armed with guns, ammunition and explosives.

But yeah, it just crazy, passionate young people who lost control....

nonsense

This was an insurrection against the democratically elected government of the United States.

***See the shirts "6MWE" and "Camp Auschwitz" - just your regular, every day Nazi protestors....

There was also lots of not so young people. I kind of give the 20 year olds a bit of a break. (not much of one) It's the older people that range from 30 to 65 that have no excuse.

I had to look it up. The building is the Capitol. The city is the capital.

I'm not making that up.

ETAL Thanks to Tragic Monkey for explaining why that actually makes a certain amount of sense. I assumed it was just that somewhere along the line someone misspelled it, but it got into dictionaries that way.

Yes. The English language is a bitch sometimes.
 
Consequences are beginning to be felt by Josh Hawley who support the objections to the certification of the Electoral College, fundraised off the back of the attempted insurrection, and made false claims that "antifa" was responsible for the breach of the capitol

Simon & Schuster have decided to cancel publication of his upcoming book "The Tyranny of Big Tech"

The Kansas City Star, one his two biggest supporter newspapers in his home state, has released a statement "If Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley had a conscience, he’d resign. He’ll have to be removed"

Former Missouri Sen. John Danforth, who mentored Hawley and once called him a "once-in-a-generation" candidate, said Thursday: "I thought he was special. And I did my best to encourage people to support him both for attorney general and later the U.S. Senate and it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life."

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the other big supporter newspapers in his home state, also called for Hawley's resignation - "Americans have had enough of Trumpism and the two-faced, lying, populist politicians who embraced it. Hawley’s presidential aspirations have been flushed down the toilet because of his role in instigating Wednesday’s assault on democracy. He should do Missourians and the rest of the country a big favor and resign now."

And Hawley's not happy about that (Newsweek via MSN)-

The conservative senator from Missouri, who has steadfastly supported President Donald Trump and echoed Trump's baseless claims of election fraud, called the publisher's move "Orwellian" in a statement on his Twitter account on Thursday. He also described the book's cancelation as a "direct assault on the First Amendment."

"Only approved speech can now be published. This is the Left looking to cancel everyone they don't approve of. I will fight this cancel culture with everything I have. We'll see you in court," he wrote.

Gotta love it- a sitting US Senator who fist-pumped a crowd that, like him, wanted to cancel the results of a legitimate election has a sadz because a private company with a perfect right to make the decision (not "the left") decided to cancel his contract. Boo-*******-hoo, Mr Hawley. Then, of course, as pointed out in the article, it's kind of sad to see that a Senator who graduated from Yale Law School has such a childish understanding of the First Amendment. No, Senator, their refusal to publish your book doesn't violate your First Amendment rights- but your forcing them to publish would actually violate theirs.
 
i like how the definition of "orwellian" has changed to mean anyone doing anything
