I agree the Lieutenant General has an interesting take. I find a lot of these type of takes interesting, much like I would find a book, novel, comic book or any other work of fiction interesting.
In the real world, where plot holes can't be ignored because the theme is good or an actor gives an exceptional performance, his statement makes no sense.
Why would an actual military unit invade the House of Congress to steal laptops being used by senators and representatives, when the laptops are property of the federal government? If the retrieval of the laptops is tied to illegal activities (especially the rigging of the 2020 presidential election) why wouldn't the President (you know the head of the federal government) simply direct someone in IT to lock access to the laptops and then send someone from HR to confiscate them for investigation?
Strong piece.
For those who won't read or can't access the Washington Post, here are some points that should help those people who don't understand the outrage that so many feel.
"We’ve been tear-gassed for much less, beaten for much less and shot at for much less. We’ve been assaulted by law enforcement for much less."
"The front line of officers were not in riot gear, they were not wearing gas masks, they were not holding guns loaded with rubber bullets. And, above all else, there were no police dogs."
"There were police dogs at protests for Black lives this year, from the East Coast to the West. The president himself tweeted in May that the “most vicious dogs” awaited protesters standing up for Black lives at the White House."
Everybody knows who gets the dogs. Trump's dog threat to protesters back in May was nothing more than him giving the wink-and-the-gun to the people he feels are his base.
Trump said there were vicious dogs awaiting anyone who tried to breach the white house walls, you dipshits. Those were all white people who were threatening to do it.
The demonstrations that his tweet referred to was immediately following the murder of George Floyd. Many of the demonstrators were Black.
Do you truly believe the race of the victim and the race of so many of the protesters played no part in his decision to mention attack dogs in his tweet?
Was he praising the act of protesting brutality or was he praising the deaths that resulted from some (few) of the protests that turned violent?
The $3 million was actually a donation to Kaepernick's non-profit with the following mission statement:
"Our mission is to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders."

Putting liberation in front of mission statement doesn't make it any less racist. This is race focused.
What?????....all the videos of unarmed black men killed is conspiratory...smh
Where is the racism in seeking to advance the standing and representation of historically marginalized and under-represented races of people?
Is sticking your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes at the mistreatment of others racist?
Racism isn't what is keeping us divided. Racism is subtle and isolated for the most part. And universally condemned by everyone of importance. It is the constant interjection of race into every single topic and the woke bitches who try and convince everyone that everything is racist or race related that is keeping us divided.
Just STFU with this crap. It doesn't make you a good person to try and convince everyone that they are racist. It makes you a ****** person.

I immigrated without even speaking English. I understand everyone trying to gain advantage in multicultural society. Don't judge but reject. Whatever happened to the occupation of the 1%?
No, really? It's race focused? No way! Being race focused doesn't make it racist however. Either way we're getting off track here, what happened at the Capitol was a terrorist attack by Trump Supporters led by the President of the United States. The only connection between the protests and the terrorist attack was some people made the comparison that if it was a majority of black people storming the Capitol they would've been shot in their tracks.
I don't necessarily disagree with that statement but I think it goes a bit further in that it seems that Trump coordinated this attack and purposefully had lax security that day. And the initial push quickly overwhelmed the officers that were there and it appeared some officers were "in on it" and let them in without much trouble.
So yeah, in short, this has little to do with race. What happened on the 6th was America's Reichstag Fire. The Traitor in Chief attempted to have at least one Congress person killed so that he could declare martial law and install himself as our Dictator, so that he didn't have to face the charges he already had coming out of office. It sounds harsh but we should be thankful to the apparent plain clothes officer who put a shot in Ashli Babbitt. That stifled the crowd long enough to escort the House to safety and prevented what would have surely been a massacre.
You're right. Race is not what is dividing us. It is rants like this that are doing the trick.
No. I didn't say that race is not what's dividing us. I said racism is not what's dividing us. Race is dividing us because of people like you who constantly use race as a divisive tool to make themselves feel morally superior by sitting behind their keyboards posting about social injustices that they have no knowledge of how to resolve and no interests in putting forth actual effort into learning how to resolve them. You're just a bunch of gas lighting fvcktards who think that you are better than everyone else.
Jeez, Dude! Relax! I can see you foaming at the mouth from behind the safety of my keyboard.
Good riddance. Trump and his supporters should be marginalized going forward. Glad to see the PGA stepping up in this moment of crisis.
So unifying. I can already feel the love returning to America. God you guys are worthless scum.
Sorry man, there’s no good reason to unify with Nazis or people who sympathize with Nazis.
Do you support Nazis Ghost? Do you support coup attempts against our government Ghost? You and your ilk are disgusting, bro.
I guess you are qualified to recognize when someone is brainwashed.
By the way, do you still view Pastor Mark Burns as a reliable source of information?
Do you feel like Sydney Powell's upcoming court appearance to defend herself will result in her showing "the goods" about the 2020 election?
Lol at you falling for the narrative of the dipshits at the capitol attempting a coup. Hey everyone, if we make it inside, we will take over the government! Fvcking stupid. Those were idiots with no weapons and no political power. How in the hell is that a coup attempt? Dumb as hell.
The nazi reference is equally as stupid. But you guys have no problem being the dumbest and the most useless trash in society. You're too stupid to realize that it is your team who is closer aligned with the nazis.
Mark Burns may be crazy, I don’t know. But, he’s saying the same thing as a lot of people, including the General, that Antifa was there. Why don’t you answer that one, Rev?
Maybe Powell has shown the goods. Problem is no court would do anything about it. You have your reasons, I say too many people are bought.
You are one that trusts your sources. I don’t. They have an agenda. All I want is I the truth. I’m not so sure you and others do.
If you guys would look at the videos out there from Wednesday, you would know who was involved, and how it was staged.
But you don’t. Instead you dig up some articles to discredit a guy. Talk about stupid!
They beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher, man. At least you finally revealed your true colors.
"They"? Yes. It is an absolute shame that anyone died. And I don't know how many times I have to acknowledge that the people involved in storming the capitol or anyone who took part in violence are idiots, trash or worse. I have zero problems acknowledging that. But the person who was responsible for the cop's death no more represents the hundreds of thousands of people who were there peacefully than the people who were responsible for the (how many) cop's deaths over the summer represented the millions of people who were peaceful. But that's a double standard that you clowns can't accept.
I am just glad to see that liberals are capable of caring about a cop's death.
Not to mention, the cop's death has nothing to do with your regurgitation of a terribly stupid narrative that it was a coup attempt or that people who don't vote democrat are nazis.
I don't think there is a need to to vilify the random neighbor who voted for Donald Trump. There are probably a lot of people who voted for Trump simply because he is a Republican and/or because his offensive rhetoric and policies did not personally affect them, their friends or their loved ones.
I think reconnecting and reconciling with those folks is critical if there is any chance of unification in this country.
I see nothing wrong with calling out and not catering to individuals influenced by Donald Trump who refuse to accept, after 62 court attempts, that Trump legitimately lost the 2020 election.
There is nothing wrong with chastising folks who defend Donald Trump's role in what happened on Capitol Hill on January 6th and, rather than lay blame at Trump's feet (and his supporters' who carried out the attack), insist on faulting Antifa, U.S. Special Forces and who knows who else.
The first group I wrote about are important to unite with and move forward with.
The second group are probably beyond reach.

Just because it was unsuccessful or poorly planned does not make it any less a coup. They were there to ensure that Congress did not certify the electoral college votes, which made Joe Biden the next President. Their reason was so that Trump, who did not win the election, could serve a second term. What else would you call that?
I am not a avoiding it but you launched this attack with no facts are data to back it up. And it did seem like you were about to have a stroke.
I didn't dig up anything. I looked up Mark Burns and his history of admitted lies came up in seconds. I was also able to quickly identify the ridiculous financial benefit he found by latching onto Donald Trump.
It's a common refrain when I interact with you, but this **** isn't hard.
Do you really think Sydney Powell really has factual evidence exposing the rigging of the 2020 election but that she wasn't able to reveal it because all 62 of the judges and justices who were presented suits by the Trump campaign are on the take?
Even if by some incredible occurrence that was the case, don't you think she would have revealed her factual evidence to Dominion to keep the company from suing her for a billion dollars?
As for the Lieutenant General, you may have missed it, I did comment on him and his validity earlier today. Here it is:
"I agree the Lieutenant General has an interesting take. I find a lot of these type of takes interesting, much like I would find a book, novel, comic book or any other work of fiction interesting.

Any comment?
Looking at the veracity of someone’s sources is one way to decide whether their arguments have any merit. One way to test that veracity is to see what else they have done or said. Research 101
Did Donald Trump launch his political ascent on the back of the birther conspiracy?
A protest. Were the people protesing George Floyd there to overturn his death, or to show their objections to how he died?
Not everyone who went to the capitol, breached security. And not everyone who entered the capitol caused harm. Not a single person there was attempting a coup. I imagine if anyone was dumb enough to believe that they could orchestrate a coup, probably won't make it much longer in life anyways. Again, you guys are just sheep of the msm who have transitioned from seekers of the truth, to gas lightning traitors who have become nothing more than a propaganda machine for the democrat party. You eat up every narrative without even asking a single question about its validity. You don't care as long as your team is on the winning end.
