Arthur was way after my time but I did see a few episodes here and there. I didn't know it was still airing new episodes that's wild.

One episode I can think of that would hold up for adults is the one where they do the show in the style of South Park and Beavis and Butt-Head.

[Rando Yaguchi]

I assumed Arthur had been off the air for twenty years. Crazy.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham says Capitol police beaten by "peaceful" Trump mob have "nobody to blame but themselves"

GOP lawmaker Mo Brooks says he wore body armor at the January 6 "peaceful" Trump rally and was tipped off to "risks"

K, I get we need to discuss news by posting news in the first plaxe but this is getting to be spam at this point.

Either discuss what you're posting or it will be warned for spam.

GOP lawmaker Mo Brooks says he wore body armor at the January 6 "peaceful" Trump rally and was tipped off to "risks"

This guy is a real piece of work. Defending his presence at the rally, he claimed “Anyone with a brain larger than a pea knew that I was not advocating violence.” (Now he concedes he was wearing body armor at that very event -- this must show you what he thinks of the brain capacity of Trump supporters.)

Incidentally, when he was served his subpoena in June, he tweeted out a picture by which he effectively doxxed himself. Days earlier he had gone into hiding to evade being served.

Oh, and he's a terrorist.

What did she want them to do, gun down the protesters.

Well, Cops say they shoot when their lives are at risk and in danger. They did kill a woman that day.

I dunno how you could doubt him. I always wear body armor when I go on casual tourist walks.

Nah, she wanted the police officers to just prop open the doors, roll out the red carpet, and step aside to let them pass. After all, what could these peaceful and 100% non-violent upstanding citizens possibly do to the folks inside?

Meh, similar to the protests where buildings and violence and looting broke out among "Peaceful protesters".

Oh, you mean the protestors that were getting tear gassed and, in some cases, literally trapped by police forces without anywhere to go while still being gassed? Obviously the Jan 6 riot and the BLM movement are completely different things. One was treated as an insurrection opposed to a protest and squashed by an overwhelming police force. The other was a riot that raided a federal building and never saw an ounce of police brutality.

[Rando Yaguchi]

^And yet the riots of 2020 resulted in at least 25 dead, several more injured and millions of dollars in property damage. There were peaceful protests too, and yes, sometimes the police were heavy-handed in their response, but let's not try to sweep all of that damage under the rug.

The January 6th riots were also bad. See how two things can be true at once? It's almost like violence and destruction are immoral no matter your political affiliation. Crazy.

One is about police brutality that was met and further fed by more police brutality.
The other is about Orange Man not winning an election and not being met with even a fraction of what the BLM protests were met with.

No. They are not the same. Yes, bad shit happened during the BLM movements. But people who try and lump them under the same category are obviously missing the point on WHY the 2020 protests happened and WHY they kept getting worse and worse and worse.
