Evernote link because paywall

Multiple law enforcement officials have said privately in recent days that the level of violence exhibited at the Capitol has led to difficult discussions within the FBI and other agencies about race, terrorism, and whether investigators failed to register the degree of danger because the overwhelming majority of the participants at the rally were White conservatives fiercely loyal to the President Trump.

According to a FBI bulletin:

“Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the U.S. Capitol from 17 January through 20 January.”

There will be 10,000 National Guard troops in D.C. starting tomorrow, and the local police will be augmented by Secret Service and FBI. The Capitol Police are under new management and will be dressed appropriately this time (i.e. riot gear). D.C. is also under a state of emergency, so they can have curfews and checkpoints.

If you hadn't heard, Ted Cruz went on Fox News today and declared that the putsch's chant of "Hang Mike Pence" was being taken out of context by the "radical Democrat media". To my knowledge, he did not explain what the correct context for the "Hang Mike Pence" chant was.

Will orangey be searching for his bicycle in the basement?

Meanwhile, this guy is not the sharpest crayon in the box.


They seem to think this is all some kind of harmless joke. Unfortunately they may be in for a rude surprise if a whole bunch of people end up getting killed on or before the 20th.

That doesn't mean it has to be high quality shaman diet. "But we've never had to cook this before, and grass-fed buffalo is hard to find on short notice."
Doesn't have to be anything special -- shouldn't be too difficult to source a few organic veg, and make him a stew or soup or something.

I watched that tele-press conference (reporters were phoning in to ask questions). This is revenge of the Deep State. What Trump calls the "Deep State" is the four million honest and patriotic people who work for the United States government. Now that Bill Barr is gone, they can finally go back to doing what they joined the Justice Department for in the first place - putting away bad guys. So they are going all out for this. If people in high places are found to have been involved (besides Trump), they will be brought down. I'm watching with anticipatory glee.

Some bio bread, a few bio eggs and fresh water out of a local stream would meet the criteria already I guess.

What stops a government investigator from impersonating a Trump supporter from NW Georgia (where Qanon crazy girl Marjorie Taylor Greene was elected)?
I'm pretty sure Talia Levin is already on the case

Sorry if already posted.

This is good.

We already have more than enough votes to pass the impeachment in the House so it's not like this was crucial, but the more Republicans that finally decide to stand up and be counted now, the better.

A key reason for her success: Parler’s site was a mess. Its public API used no authentication. When users deleted their posts, the site failed to remove the content and instead only added a delete flag to it. Oh, and each post carried a numerical ID that was incremented from the ID of the most recently published one.

The rookie code made it easy to automate the scraping, as this script used by donk_enby’s archival team demonstrates. As a result, massive numbers of posts that discussed the insurrection before, during, and after it was carried out will be preserved indefinitely so that they’re available to researchers, journalists, prosecutors, and others.

Another amateur mistake was Parler’s failure to scrub geolocations from images and videos posted online. Sites like Twitter and Google routinely remove such metadata from content posted by their users. The video files hosted on Parler, by contrast, were “raw,” meaning they still contained this information.

Trump is supposed to speak in a bordwr town called alamo tonight. Not the alamo, just a town named alamo.

He never notified the town he is coming. Maybe the trip was cancelled? If not, he might not have notified them because he wants to cimmit more terrorism without having to worry about local police getting un the way.
