A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

    This is wonderful. That being said, why are we linking to The Daily Wire?

      Because it’s an interesting story, irrespective of the source, and it’s fun to point and laugh at Republicans and their hypocrisy.

        Yeah, but we shouldn’t be giving them page views and generating income for them.

          This has already been addressed. Mods concurred that while this source leans right, it is for the most part an accurate source of information. As well, it’s good to see what the other side is thinking.

            It’s not about what mods think, it’s about not making money for them.

                What part of “don’t make money for them” is unclear to you? Post an archive link to the article or something.

              You vastly over estimate the value of your click. And even if everyone who upvoted clicked in, that’s still less than a thousand page views. And if it really matters that much to you, turn on a dang ad blocker. In short, get over it.

                Still you might as well use an archive of the webpage if it’s available, there’s not much reason not to

                  The return on investment for the effort is simply not worth it.

                    I mean, ok, do whatever you want but obviously it only takes like a minute lol. Not saying it matters much but to say it requires any effort isn’t really true.
