    I watched that last night. It really establishes "this was no accident."

    You don't need a math degree to put 2 & 2 together between "unauthorized Capitol tours by sitting Congresspeople the day before" and this:

    Makes sense. I'd rather watch women's soccer than men's.

    Indeed. One of the Rocky Mount police officers that was fired for being a Capitol rioter recently ordered (I think) 34 guns, had been posting insane pro-violence rhetoric online and they also found a pipe bomb in his garage. This is after he was arrested and fired.

    These are probably the scariest people in your country right now. Remember, that guy was a cop until this year. These people are bitter, stupid and are trained to kill. Or, they drink Black Rifle Coffee and any least THINK they’re trained.

    I’d rather watch archery than either. Less tears with the same amount of suspense.

    On the surface, their former President was arrested and was going to jail. His supporters are heavily based from the Zulu tribe and implicitly refuse to trust the government otherwise due to the past injustices with rampant racism, etc., so they are rioting.

    Below the surface, South Africa is essentially a failed state that never really moved on from Apartheid. Rich white people live in gated, heavily guarded communities while millions of young black people are mired in extreme economic despair.

    The problems in that country make the America’s problems with racial tension look like absolutely nothing. Good job, Britain.
