| Info | An Austrian-American bodybuilder, actor and Republican politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger became the 38th Governor of California on October 7, 2003 in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. He was subsequently re-elected to a second term in 2006.
Schwarzenegger was born in Thal, Austria, a town bordering the Styrian capital, Graz, and christened Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger. As a boy, Schwarzenegger played many sports, but discovered his passion for bodybuilding when in his mid-teens, his soccer coach took the team for weight training.
Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian army in 1965, to fulfill the one-year service requirement expected at the time of all 18 year old Austrian males. During that year he snuck off the base to compete in his first bodybuilding competition, the Mr. Junior Europe, where he won first place.
Schwarzenegger moved to the United States in September of 1968, with little money or knowledge of the English language.
Nicknamed "The Austrian Oak" in his body building days, and more recently "The Governator" (a portmanteau of Governor and Terminator, after the blockbuster film roles), Schwarzenegger as a young man gained widespread attention as a highly successful bodybuilder, and later gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film star.
His first political appointment was to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, on which he served from 1990 to 1993. He was nominated by George H. W. Bush, who dubbed him "Conan the Republican". He later served as Chairman for the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under Governor Pete Wilson.
Governor Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver have four children - Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher.

So glad I never voted for this imbecile.
A ceremony got interrupted for a few hours, while some demonstrators (most of whom were under the vague misimpression they were allowed to be there) sorta wandered aimlessly around the Capitol, generally remaining behind the velvet red ropes as they did so.
The guy who beat that one cop to death, should be executed, and I would pull the switch myself, if called upon to do so.
But this was no "insurrection".

The Federalist apparently has a burner account on OC. This take is trash.

I have often found Hikikomori Blitzkrieg! to have a useful perspective on political events. The heart of what he posted above is troubling.
"A ceremony got interrupted for a few hours..."? Are you kidding me saying something like that? This joint session is one of the few requirements laid out in the Constitution. It was the reason for the very first joint session of Congress back in 1789 and has been part of the election process in every presidential election.
"...some demonstrators ... wandered aimlessly around the Capitol..."? Really? Is that how you view what happened a week ago? These wandering Trump supporters included a group that was looking to kill the Vice President of the United States, and others wanted to attack the Speaker of the US House. Some of these people had guns or were prepared to take members of Congress into custody. What if they had actually killed a member of Congress? If they had broken into the US House chamber, do you think they would have distinguished between a Democrat and a Republican member of Congress?
