Shocking new video from inside Capitol riot https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/...wsroom-vpx.cnn
Totally disturbing that that cop would call the senate chambers “sacred” WTF?

In Britain, to describe our equivalent, the Houses of Parliament, a tv commentator or a tourist guide would probably use the more accurate word, "hallowed". But in fairness to that policeman in the Senate, I suspect that in England a beat cop under pressure probably wouldn't find the word "hallowed" springing immediately to his lips either. #FundingForImprovedPoliceVocabularyTrainingNow!

Yeah, it also makes me very uneasy when politicians like Mike Pence* drag their religion into politics. I remember years back, perhaps at the time of the Invasion of Iraq, George Bush made some comment about talking to God, and hearing His answer. In my book, that meant that the Pres of the US was admitting that he was, technically, insane.
Of course, compared to Trump, GWBush is a saint, sorry, no, I mean hero or model of sanity. * And to be less partisan for once, Nancy Pelosi does it too.

Good one, Psy-Fi ! For some not particularly logical reason, "Temples of Democracy" sounds ok to me. How about you, any opinion on the sacredness of the Capitol building?
__________________________________________________ _____________________________________ In England, in a kind of jocular manner, public toilets are occasionally refered to as "Temples of Convenience". Quite how that fact is relevent to our little debate here, I'm not sure, so I'm going to fall back on Trollheart's classic phrase, "Makes you think!"
