Seventy years ago, the Rosenbergs went to the electric chair for giving nuclear secrets to Russia. It seems clear to me that Ethel knew about her husband's activity but was not involved directly, and chose to stand with him.

Fast forward to 2021. A crowd storms the Capitol, with the intent to potentially kill a number of politicians, killing and seriously injuring several cops, and egged on by a number of other politicians.

Gee, thanks so much Karm for whining at 3:30 in the morning till you wake me up just so you can curl up and go back to sleep.  I'm tempted to poke you repeatedly to keep you awake.
