5 YEARS OR HALF A DECADE .... WHICH IS LONGER?

 WHY - oh why does this bother me???

So, last week the news broadcasts started talking about how the FBI caught the man who set explosive (but, as it turned out, non-functional) devises outside of both the republican AND democratic offices in D.C.

but the thing that gets me is that no matter what station I listened to ... ABC ... CBS .... NBC ... CNN ... FNC ... didn't matter EVERY CHANNEL just could NOT bring themselves to actually say "5 years ago" ...

No matter what station ...
No matter the reporter ...
everyone said the same damned thing ...

"half a decade ago"

OMG!!  How stupid do they think we are?

First - no one knows what his motivation was ... it happened on Jan. 5-6, 2021 ... 
No one was hurt (that I'm aware of)

And the digital images they had were grainy to say the least ... who knows, maybe they enhanced it to see his face, or find some tattoo on his body ...

I heard the had a "distinctive walk" ... they were able to identify several items of clothing he had on - including his shoes!

Somehow, they found out it was him - and arrested him.

So now - we wait for the case to start ...

Let's hope that it doesn't get tossed out because of who Trump has appointed to office.

BUT ....

Let's just say '5 years ago" ....
