OT: Pro-Trump MAGA supporters storm US Capitol and disrupt certification process [LOCKED]
[Important Edit: I'm posting a specific warning to all who trolled within this thread and a general warning to all who may be considering injecting political trolling into ANY thread on the MGoBoard: endeavouring to do so just might be the decision that causes your account to be blocked. YOUR choice is being made when you hit that "save" button.
While I fully understand that we live in a very politically turbulent world, the bottom line is that injecting politically divisive opinions and attacks into conversations on the board directly violates board rules and is specifically prohibited.
Please don't test those waters.
Here's a link to what I posted earlier this evening on the "Mod Sticky" thread:

Any questions? Please post them on the "Mod Sticky".

Where are these forces now in this pivotal moment?
We should accurately call this exactly for what it is - a prolonged, treasonous coup incited by Trump who pushed bullshit conspiracies and encouraged violence.
Also, look at all the red MAGA hats on these domestic terrorists:
