ROTFLMAO ... Krugman is such a ridiculous buffoon! It is quite simply astounding that Paul can cross a street without getting run over by a bus.

Paul Krugman gets so much wrong so much of the time, and yet we’re still surprised he could tweet what he did Thursday. As you might have noticed, National Guard troops were posted around state capitols on Inauguration Day — and Washington, D.C. was locked down tight — where there were alleged stirrings on social media that the buildings would be stormed in all 50 states by pro-Trump insurrectionists.
As Krugman notes, that didn’t happen. However, as perhaps only someone in the liberal media bubble could utter, he asked, “Where did all the rage go?”
Paul Krugman ~ So, what happened to the insurrection? Maybe I'm jinxing it, but the wave of violence many expected didn't materialize before or on Inauguration Day; there were hardly any demonstrators. Where did all the rage go?
Krugman was probably too busy watching the Bon Jovi concert and fireworks to notice where the rage literally went — to cities like Portland and Seattle, where mobs of Antifa carried banners reading “We don’t want Biden — We want REVENGE,” smashed all the windows out of the Democratic Party headquarters in Portland, spray-painted “F**k Biden” on it, and burned American flags from coast to coast. But of course, Krugman didn’t notice; as far as he’s been told, Antifa is “just an idea.”
In case you missed it, the rage didn’t go anywhere — it was on the extremist left where it’s been all along:
Julio Rosas ~ On the ground in Portland, Ore. for @townhallcom. A group of Antifa marchers just attacked the city’s Democratic Party office. They broke windows and spray painted the building.
Some of them had a hard time breaking the windows.

But no violence from those pro-Trump insurrectionists?
Glenn Greenwald ~ Oh gosh, I hope this doesn't mean the magnitude of the threat has been wildly exaggerated for political gain, media excitement and ratings, censorship orgies, and laying the foundation for a new fear-driven Domestic War on Terror to control politics and information.
A new domestic war on terror? That has the FBI investigate Parler (but not Facebook) and the intelligence community crack down with a “laser-like” focus on fascists and nationalists and libertarians?
Glenn Greenwald ~ Hey dude, where's my insurrection? ...
