Coup in the USA?

[detrius]

Hrm.. She should not be toying with them in that way.

They just might react to that provocation in a way that will destroy our country and her. It's not like they need any added incentive.

These people have shown that they don't much care about democracy and are willing to commit assassinations. Let's get them all locked up, no provoking of them while they are still free.

Actually, we should not be provoking them in ANY way. There are always more that we haven't been able to lock up yet.

You're talking about people who got triggered by non-existent voter fraud and believe that Pelosi is eating babies.

All she's doing in that picture is stand by the people who're protecting the Capitol and its legitimate occupants from a bunch of terrorists.

The idea that she shouldn't show support for those guys because it "might provoke" that traitorous bunch is inane. Don't be stupid.

There are times when appeasement might be an option - but when the other side has stopped living in reality and ceased communication except for bursts of excited pseudo-patriotic grunting, you might just as well bark at the moon.

It's the same as living with an abuser. The fear of triggering their anger leads to constant, escalating self-censorship in a vain attempt to escape being punished. But the abuser LIKES to punish and they'll always find a reason to do so.

I'm not talking about that. I think that is wonderful. I made a post about it. I misunderstood Daniel's post thinking that she actually had a picture stating, "Not so brave now, are you, you domestic terrorists?" somewhere in her timeline.

Feeding the Guard is great. Some democratic lawmakers also wanted to ensure that they have cots inside the Capitol and access to facilities, when images of them sleeping on the floor were surfacing. I'm not sure if they were able to accomplish that or not. But yes, it's nice to see kindness.

Wow, she wanted to sell it to a friend in Russia? Gee, I wonder why.

An IT security friend pointed out that the minute it became clear that any computer equipment might be compromised, the government techs should have been all over that stuff wiping it clean. In addition, there would NOT have been any security clearance level information on them to begin with.

Your point is well taken.

Further down in that timeline, people are saying that the laptop thief has not been arrested, that she is still on the run. I wonder if that means she also still has the laptop. What is kind of interesting, to me, about her is that she stands out in the images of her in the Capitol. She's not wearing any MAGA garb, she must have known or had an idea of just where to go? We saw the images of the one man sitting at Pelosi's desk, but I don't recall seeing images of this gal or anyone else rifling through the room. It must not have made its way onto video.

There is one other woman seen in the videos who is holding a bullhorn and directing folks. I'd love to see authorities get their hands on her, have a talk with her about her knowledge of the Capitol. She might legitimately have knowledge of the building having been there often or something, but I'd be curious to discover if it is that or if she had some kind of assistance.

There "should" not have been, certainly, just as MI5 officers and senior civil servants *should* not leave their laptops in taxis and wine bars, and the Home Office shouldn't delete Police National Computer records they're supposed to keep.

Nevertheless, sometimes it happens.

Maybe Greg gets on with his brother about as well as I get on with my full sisters....? Then again, I still would vote to impeach, even if they had tried to kill one, because I'm not the one who doesn't talk to my sisters, but the other way around.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

One aide to Pelosi reported a laptop missing that was only used for presentations. If that is the same one, we should be fine as no one has every gotten useful information from a PowerPoint.

The capitol was just evacuated because of a fire. IDK what's going on yet, this just popped up on my FB feed:

Live Updates: President Biden signs first executive orders, some security barriers start to come down in DC

Here's a running list of everything happening in D.C. on Inauguration Day as law enforcement deals with threats.

EDIT: The fire is a few blocks from the capitol. The capitol locked down, and the inauguration rehearsal was evacuated, but the capitol was not evacuated.

How could it happen? Hmm...Lindsay, did you not make phone calls on Trump's behalf to officials in Georgia in an effort to force them to violate election law? What exactly were you discussing with Trump over the Christmas holiday at the golf course?

This man bears more responsibility for what happened than perhaps even those who had security failure.

He lit the match, repeatedly and would love nothing more than to point in any direction but his own.

The smoke in the first video kinda makes it look like they just picked a new pope, LOL

Yes, not that is what interests me. If this happened shouldn't there be some cctv footage of it somewhere? If so, perhaps those she may have given tours can be identified. Perhaps it can be tracked as to whether or not those folks also were part of the Capitol mob.
