19:49 is 7:49 EST. It's currently 3:19 EST. Not saying anything is up but the time is in the future.

Who would plan something like that to happen at :49 past the hour or think that the time would need to be that percisely recorded?

Ronald Reagan's astrologer... but nowadays probably not.

Now if only they were socialist

I mean, they are already Red

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NY) tests positive for COVID, blames republicans who refused masks when they were sheltering in the Capitol

Haha, they are half way there

[Borderlands of Rojava]

It's so amazing. Looks like the GOP will soon be no more the party of big business.

The trump fanbase has decided they are post-democracy.

That isn't a good thing.

Olbermann - 2 minutes on expulsion

Cuba goes back on the blacklist

Call me cynical but I think Google and Facebook stopping all political donations is more about possible anti-trust action against them than storming the Capitol, otherwise why stop donations to the Democrats too?

It's a secondary way to look at it in the long run but not the short.

Overall I think it might actually be a good thing, at least for the health of US politics.

Ah, a pleonasm

Since my labor union and political party are probably the only way a single individual like me could possibly hope to influence anything at all, I'm going with a hard no.

[Absolon-7]

Alright, we got confirmation: ’twas a “disgruntled staffer”

well that's disappointing. should've known better then to think Pence grew a spine.

It will be interesting to see how long this last, and when they silently will go back to bribe...I mean donate...them again.

The absolute state of the US, ca 2021:

Department of Defense says they will review troops deployed to Biden inauguration to ensure they don’t have sympathies to domestic terrorists — meaning the US govt is now trying to prevent a military coup.
