Lemmings do not commit mass suicide, it is a lie.

It is a common misconception.

The only sad thing about all of this is that after years of protest over overbearing government using brutal tactics, and none of these protests and "insurrections" worked, the government tactics will only get more brutal.

If you're going to take a shot at the king, don't miss. Well, all the shots have missed.

Capitol Police officer dies from injuries sustained during Tuesday's terrorist attack.

You wouldn't know that from Fox News' top headlines, though.

This one?

U.S. Capitol flags at half-staff after officer's death, murder probe underway

Yeah, but I couldn't think of any other examples.

Serious question: Despite the inaccuracy, doesn't the turn of phrase continue to exist since we all know the meaning?

They moved it up.

I dunno, but I had a get together with some other friends last night, and someone else brought up the lemming thing, so I mentioned it was a lie. He did not know that.

Yeah, it does.

It's "above the fold", but under a picture. Not at the top. So a headline, but not "the" headline. The headline when I went there this morning, because you made me look, was how Trump had denounced the capital incident and was preparing for a peaceful transition of power. HA!

Side note: Their site is fucking hideous. So poorly designed. It's just ugly and doesn't flow well. When it comes to web design CNN > Fox News.

Did you wear masks? Besides the type they wear in Eyes Wide Shut...

I only wear that kind.

No, but we only gather outdoors by a firepit.

There's a difference between a lie, and a misconception.

Disney lied about lemmings. People have misconceptions about lemmings because of the lie.

People aren't knowingly spreading misinformation in order to further a viewpoint. That's evil.

They're misinformed. As you've seen, that's easily corrected without branding them a liar.

I was branding Disney a liar. Not other people.

Pelosi announced if Trump doesn't resign or the 25th isn't used, then he will be impeached again.

The 25th should be used or he should be given a deal to resign, but impeach hearings are not what the country needs right now. More division, more wasted time and money, and all in the midst of a pandemic that's devastating the economy and citizens.

Why impeach when he has around 2 weeks left?

Also, how soon before we start seeing the mass presidential pardons?

What are the odds Trump starts spouting state secrets? I'm guessing there's a HUGE penalty for that, which is why nobody ever talks.

I'm fine with this. But, I think Biden should pardon him day #1 and say "Let's move on"

Leisher wrote: Why impeach when he has around 2 weeks left?

Impeachment can then lead to permanent disqualification from future office.

I'm very much tired of them wasting time and resources on absolutely nothing regarding actually running the country.

That being said, those two actions you state are fine IF that's the plan.

Although I've heard Don Jr. is the one that's going to run next time.

My wife said, "Nobody's going to vote for him."

I responded with, "That's what everyone said about Trump!"

True.

Put on your aluminum foil hat before you continue reading...

Here's what RW FB peeps are posting:

Just wow.

My wife saw this as I was laughing and I said, "I wonder if they have the next article, about why this stuff didn't happen, already written?"

Also, NESARA is getting a lot of attention. If you don't know, I'm not telling you. Go dive down that hole yourself.

In other news, not very respected news sources are saying Trump supporters smeared their poop in the capital building.
