    Raining is starting to show that he supports the folks who attacked the capital. He is not just the innocent predictor of more actions like it.

    trump is leaving an open invitation to his cult followers to follow through on the plans trump has been encouraging to essentially do a rerun of the assault on the Capital, but this time an assault on the inauguration of our new President and Vice-President on 1/20/21. trump is saying that he won’t be there, so do what you are planning to do. The fellow won’t be there to get in the way of the “fun and games.”

    trump is completely delusional and dangerous, as are his cult followers, who are busy resting up for their next attempt to subvert and/or destroy our democracy by preventing the peaceful transfer of power to the new administration. I haven’t made this up. It is reported to be all over the fringe social media used by trump’s crazed followers.

    I hope that there is a different group in charge of security for the event, because the security at the capital was almost a complete failure. I’m very worried about it. I’m also beyond tired of being worried about trump and his cult members attempting to overthrow our government. That they seriously believe they can might be something to laugh about had the recent events not occurred. It is a miracle that “only” 5 died instead of dozens, including members of Congress, who were reportedly targets for the worst of the rioters.

    Thanks to science which your hero Trump thinks is fake when it is convenient to do so.

    The inauguration will end up with DC shutdown and the Army forming a miles wide perimeter around Capitol Hill.




    What I don't understand is this: why doesn't the government, in the form of an Army General or whomever, issue a national warning saying something along the lines of this:

    "If you threaten to trespass anywhere on government grounds in the next month, you will be shot. This is your final warning. We will use deadly force. No other warnings will be given."

    Those with credentials can then be given instructions on how exactly to display them.


    This is a dangerous time. I feel bad for Biden. He's in danger.

    Don't block him. As one of them, he gives un insight into the enablers and supporters of the bozos who attacked the Capital and believe they are patriots trying to "stop the steal"

    How does it spread, magic?

    How about, you know, not doing the thing that causes it to spread.

    I find myself watching more Fox News to try to understand their version of reality.
    Tucker Carlson said the night of the attack that we should respect the rioters who entered the Capital as they are older "persons with families" who are AMERCIAN BORN patriots.

    The Lincoln Project guys are responsible for Donald Trump as they wanted their tax breaks, no matter how repulsive Trump the dictator wannabee was personally or how much they had to whip up the suffering folks their massive tax breaks and trade policies had engendered.
    The folks at the Lincoln Project were just a few months ahead of the "death bed" conversions of some of the GOP Senators who abandoned the phony claims of election fraud the night of the assault on the Congress.

    Also Ronan Farrow has an article on his buddy, the retired air force officer from Dallas:

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/an-air-force-combat-veteran-breached-the-senate

    Brock denied that he had entered Pelosi’s office suite, saying that he “stopped five to ten feet ahead of the sign” bearing her title that insurrectionists later tore down and brandished. However, in the ITV video, he appears to emerge from the suite. Brock said that he had worn tactical gear because “I didn’t want to get stabbed or hurt,” citing “B.L.M. and Antifa” as potential aggressors. He claimed that he had found the zip-tie handcuffs on the floor. “I wish I had not picked those up,” he told me. “My thought process there was I would pick them up and give them to an officer when I see one. . . . I didn’t do that because I had put them in my coat, and I honestly forgot about them.” He also said that he was opposed to vandalizing the building, and was dismayed when he learned of the extent of the destruction. “I know it looks menacing,” he told me. “That was not my intent.”

    Fortunately Ted is so personally dislikeable that the chances of him becoming president are slim, but his actions that night should be disqualifying.

    And what has the FBI been doing the 4 years leading up to Wednesday they have the intelligence, resources, and technology to monitor, track, and even infiltrate all these groups.

    Let's say they were caught flat footed. And their response? Did they surround and secure the Capitol? Did they round all these perpetuators up and at least identify and inventory them?

    What they do is a day after they beg around asking for citizens tips what a joke.

    Keep spreading the conspiracy that the presidential election and GA election was totally stolen by antifa/Democrats/socialists/communists and Red Dawn and similar movies are the greatest, but people should be peaceful about it.
