  1. So… Guess the threats were real after all.

    I expect the republicans will all go on the record to reverse their stance against the security measures in place.

  2. When will we properly confront right-wing terrorism?

  3. It’s the Modus Operandi of the QAnon/Oath Keepers crowd: “Do what we say or we’ll smash our cars into immovable objects and go to the hospital!”

    ETA: I’m hoping that’s who went to the hospital.

    ETA: And I was wrong. 2 officers injured, plus the suspect. And the bozo at the wheel accomplished nothing of significance for his/her ‘cause’.

  4. Don’t worry, I’m sure the Qedophiles have already labeled this a false flag operation.

  5. Nancy clearly had this set up to undermine republican calls to get the NG to go away.
