Sometimes it's not so much the issues, but the hypocrisy that grates. YMMV.
"I can’t get out of my head the juxtaposition of the awful storming of the Capitol Building on Wednesday and the gathering of hundreds of thousands in the Women’s March of Jan. 21, 2017."

It wouldn't grate so much and give you the outrage high, if you didn't read lies and BS and "poor me," whiny taddle.? Hypocrisy, my a**. Just convenient what-aboutism.? Something the Pubs are experts at—that you use to obfuscate the truth and avoid accountability. I found the truth here with one search—you don't even bother.? Pathetic.? It was a recognition activity for the National Guard and was probably planned months in advance and it was modified.? Instead, you support white supremacist militias pretending to be about law and order, and the anti-democracy politicians gaslighting millions. Contrast this event with tRump's Covid-19 super spreader campaign rallies and white house parties that ya'll were silent about.? You have zero credibility.? Zero.? And, what makes it even more pathetic is that you don't even believe what you post!!? As Ann pointed out.? From the MI Record Eagle:
"Hours after reinstating restrictions on gatherings in northern Michigan to combat the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spoke in front of 620 troops at Camp Grayling.
Whitmer led the annual and ceremonial inspection of troops Friday morning at the Michigan National Guard’s Pass and Review. She stood on a Humvee beside Adjutant Major Gen. Paul Rogers and Col. Lavetta Benne, Chief of Staff for the Army, and paraded along a field lined with groups of soldiers.
Whitmer’s spokesperson said the appearance sent no mixed messages.
The annual event, which normally has twice as many spectators and graduated soldiers participating, took place outdoors with universal masking and social distancing among all participants.
State employees present wore masks in the grandstand and were spaced 6 feet apart."

Let's just be honest. "It will be a smaller inauguration ceremony, but they're still having one in person and, let's be honest, you know if President Trump did this, he would be getting crushed for holding a super-spreader event. We'd all be saying it."

What the heck are you talking about? ?You have this habit of parsing out single sentences of mine written as part of a hopefully coherent paragraph and looking around the "pajamas" of the world to post whatever that promotes a false, meaningless, and irrelevant narrative. ?

Instead, you just start posting other random nonsense.

"After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fined two Republican lawmakers, Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Andrew Clyde (R-GA), $5,000 each for violating the House metal detector rule, Republicans from the Committee on House Administration demanded that Pelosi be held accountable herself for the same offense. According to a letter the officials sent to the House Acting Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett, Pelosi was seen ignoring the metal detectors as she entered the House Chamber Thursday morning."

I'll tell you something Richard...if you want to cry "hypocritical" and use disinformation as your justification, go right ahead.? But, IMO, when you know that the Speaker has been the target of repeated violent death threats, the last being during the murderous insurrection that *just* took place, and also that she is a wife, mother, and grandmother, you oughta stop to reassess your actions.? Your posts here don't matter, but your attitude and your propensity to post compulsively for days at a time, could mean that you post elsewhere.? If I knew that you were the target of such personal vitriol and intended murder, I would never do such a thing, no matter what I think of you.? What if this were your daughter??

Shoot the messenger! I figure it like this, if you're reading and posting comments about my messages, then you have even less to do than I do. Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to. I'm on seven discussion boards. YMMV.

It just seems hypocritical for Nancy Pelosi to call for fining her colleagues for avoiding the capitol metal detector and then avoiding it herself. YMMV. “Speaker Pelosi needs to pay the fine for breaking her own security rules, and the fines need to be equally enforced by the sergeant at arms..."Nancy Pelosi wants $5,000 fines for lawmakers who ignore metal detectors, dodge Capitol security

You link goes nowhere.? Without proof (which doesn't include hearsay), this is disinformation.? You are again using disinformation to support your inaccurate call of hypocrisy re: the decision to require members to go through a magnetometer.? And honestly, so the bleep what?? All courthouses I've been in since 2001 require this.? What's the big deal???
Nancy Pelosi wants $5,000 fines for lawmakers who ignore metal detectors, dodge Capitol security
Why did you include this??? IMO, spreading disinformation, made up for the purpose of further vilifying a woman who has been a target of violence for years and who was very recently just literally hunted down by a violent mob intent on execution is reprehensible behavior on your part.? Laws to ban guns from the whole of the Capital grounds were instituted in 1967 by Lyndon B. Johnson.? And you're blaming Nancy?? Do your homework!? (Another thing I don't respect—you post lies and lies and lies, which could easily be fact checked with a few keystrokes—your purpose is to vilify and nothing else.? That's dangerous behavior and I don't condone it.) The Capital Police Board was allowed to create exceptions.? The exceptions were for firearms confined to member offices.? Firearms transported across the grounds had to be unloaded and securely wrapped. All firearms had to comply with DC gun laws, which included registration.?? Guns were always completely banned from legislative chambers!!?The fact that certain Pubs are flouting the rules already isn't Nancy's fault. (For example, Boebert's gun wasn't registered in DC and she could have been arrested for that.) The police also have the authority to arrest those bringing guns on to the floor. Instead of all that drama, Pelosi put in additional security.? Boebert, Gohmert, Greene, and Biggs at a minimum are the reason the honor system no longer suffices.? And, then, like teenagers, they disrespect the Capital police and try and go around the magnetometer?? They'd be arrested anywhere else, thrown out, and refused further entry.? They should consider themselves lucky and grow up.? ? And you should too, IMO.? ? --

Rules are for the little people. Apparently there is growing disgust with the razor-wire barrier, thousands of National Guardsmen manning checkpoints, and metal detectors barring entry to carrying members. YMMV.
