    I have so many questions about this:

    Navy probe finds contractor charged in Capitol insurrection was well-known Nazi sympathizer

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/14/poli...i-sympathizer-capitol-insurrection/index.html

    He was not hiding his proclivities. (he showed up to work with a literal ****ing Hitler mustache)

    He was not kicked out of the Army Reserve.

    He was allowed to talk his **** to many (the article says ~40) fellow servicemen.

    He was allowed to have a (low-level) security clearance.

    He was allowed to be on the security detail for a massive Navy ammunition depot.

    So well done, as a document, and so awful to see that day again. I hope kids have to watch this in history class someday. Maybe someday can be starting next ****ing year.

    I'm responding. You're sharing propaganda to paint everything in the worst light possible when it was a rally that got out of hand and turned into a protest and then riot. You and others are acting like it was a beer hall push and Hitler was about to pop up. The fear mongering is pathetic. Regardless of where you stand on if they were let in or not to some degree, which they clearly were by the fact that they didn't add adequate security... on purpose... via decisions from higher levels. This was all a stunt. To allow it to happen in order to paint Americans as terrorists. Specifically those who are not supporting the Democrats. Yes this was all allowed to happen. The sissy reaction of those here is evidence of the value of such optics.

    “It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th. Now the question is, is he criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Sherwin said. “We have people looking at everything.”

    If this does lead to sedition charges for some of those that attacked the capital... what will this mean for (1) any government officials and elected representatives that were found to provide assistance and (2) those that didn't condemn the acts (if not even supported it) afterwards?

    beer hall push? lol. you are such a dork!

    one difference between hitlers beer hall putsch and trumps insurrection was that hitler actually led his coup attempt from the front lines. trump told his cult members that he would march with them down pennsylvania avenue and instead went back to the white house and watched his insurrection on tv like the fat coward he is.

    This is what is called whitewashing. I've literally with my own eyes seen Facebook messages from far right dudes organizing the capital takeover.... WITH TRUMP MESSAGING THEM directly from Twitter instant messages of encouragement. Calling them Patriots after they told him they were going to take the capital. This was not some underground thing. Everyone knew the plan was and wouldn't shut up about it. The plan was to go to the Capital, over run it, stop the counting of the votes, and allow for the House to use parliamentary rules to vote Trump back in via the House. Most of this people don't know the actual rules that were supposed to be used to "Stop the Steal" but they all knew there was a plan that involved stopping the Senate certification, and the House along with Trump being able to take back the election if only they could stop the count.

    A post like this is why I highly doubt you are even in America much less Texas. You would know that you don't need to lie about this crap. Everyone here in Texas knows someone in far right circles, and knows what the deal was and is. We know they are mostly normal people we are all friends with who are just looking for community in the wrong places, and are just pissed off about societal changes, and instead of buying a Miata their mid life crisis is buying guns, and dicking around in the woods with their other far right friends they met on Facebook. The insurrection was just another Facebook meet up, but one where the loyalist of the loyal were willing to buy a plane ticket, and put in the effort to take it to that level.

    BUT THEY ALL KNEW IT, AND THEY ALL WOULDN'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT.

    Stop trying to whitewash January 6th. It just makes you look like someone talking about far right American politics from Thailand.

    One of the key things my far right friend (noted above) said to me after the riot was:

    "Wasn't it about time though that we sent them a message that we've had enough, and don't F with us anymore".

    This on it's face is a vague statement to make, but when you contextually look at how the far right planned this event and how they organize with a political purpose, it makes a whole lot of sense. People in America from all walk of life are holding this resentment towards DC. It's not even a Democrat vs Republican thing. Men of a certain age and color and background are also highly needing community, and an outlet. The intersection of all these things is how a Facebook community can take off like this, and organize events like this.

    Where January 6th got out of hand is where AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL (Aka Trump himself) directly or indirectly told them... hey you can actually do this, and help me overthrow the government, and be legends in your community. Normally these communities are just Dicking in the Woods so to speak. What made this different is a Park Ranger wasn't telling them to turn their music down at 12AM. The sitting President of the United States, and almost every Republican official was telling them to Turn it Up... and at the Capital this time.

    "But Pentagon brass including then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, who had to sign off on a National Guard deployment because of a newly implemented chain-of-command protocol, didn’t provide Walker with approval until 5:08 p.m. — three hours and 19 minutes later, the general testified."

    People stormed the Capitol over a lie and now Powell is using the defense that no one is stupid enough to believe her conspiracy claims. I guess she never met @dachuda86 or my mother.
