Coup in the USA?

Serious answer? Sequin pockets and neck scarves like that are a “country and western” look common to flyover America and where I grew up in Canada. All the girls dressed like that in some variation for square dancing. Mom there is wearing her “rodeo best”. Maybe she’s even been to a rodeo.

Reading where they’re from, Virginia, makes my western ass giggle, but I’m sure they square dance and pretentious cowboy there too.

Or as we put it on this side of the continent, you can tell a city cowboy by his clean boots.

What is it with these errant mothers encouraging their sons to commit mayhem? We have her. We have zip tie guy, whose mother bought all of his gear and went with him. We have Kyle Rittenhouse's mother who apparently thought that buying a teenager an AR-15 and dropping him off in an area where civil unrest was happening was a good idea.

This chick? Smokescreen and mirrors to justify his behavior until right at the very end where her true beliefs come out, when her tune changes from, "He walked through open doors." to one of we can disrupt democracy, threaten, coerce or murder representatives because we choose to believe a conspiracy. Fraudulent election, my ass, woman. Fecking idiots like her give a bad name to motherhood, and she IS an idiot. Anyone who cannot be bothered to do the slightest bit of research about the election and still spouts off Trump lies is an idiot.

She gives a bad name to idiots, let alone motherhood.

Former State Department aide arrested in connection with Capitol riot

Federico Klein was arrested in Virginia on Thursday. Government files show he was a special assistant in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs as a political appointee.

A former State Department aide during the Trump administration has been arrested in connection with the pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to an FBI spokesperson and documents.

Federico Klein was arrested Thursday in Virginia, an FBI spokesperson said. The FBI would not discuss the case, and court documents did not appear to be online.

But documents obtained by NBC News allege that a man later identified as Klein was seen on video assaulting Washington, D.C., police officers and U.S. Capitol Police officers.

The court documents say Klein was working at the State Department on Jan. 6, possessed top-secret security clearance and resigned Jan. 19.

Government records show Klein worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and was hired at the State Department in January 2017.

I came across a whole thread of this stuff, part 10, no less.

Here is the thing. 'Q-Shaman' is what, 23? At 23, he's still running mostly off either what his parents taught him, or the opposite of it [so, still running on beliefs formed by those who raised him]. Seeing his mom say what I saw her saying in the clip is as surprising as mom refusing to use the name I prefer over the nickname she gave me as a baby [and at this point, I've almost been using this one half my life now], so, not at all surprising.

I think what, our brains are fully developed at 27?

Same, though I was still heavily influenced by my upbringing.... in some ways I still am [one day I'll find my self confidence - it has to be out there, lost and alone....]

But I think if you were spoiled rotten by a mom, like a lot of them young men seem to have been? Yeah, might not finish growing into their own person for another 50 years yet.

Members Of Congress Left Behind A Massive Evidence Trail As They Pushed Trump’s Big Lie

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) has published an absolutely massive report compiling the social media posts of every Republican who voted to object to the counting of certain states’ Electoral College votes on Jan. 6.

Then-President Donald Trump had hyped that Jan. 6 congressional objection effort as his last real hope of stealing a second term, and on the morning of Jan. 6, he urged the thousands of supporters that he’d summoned to Washington, D.C. to march on the Capitol and provide some “courage” to the members of Congress voting inside.

I just wanted to add more to this. Technically, rioters walked through open doors last spring, too. I bet you dollars to donuts she doesn't approve of that. Probably quite the opposite.

FBI Uncovers Communication Between Proud Boys Member And Trump Associate Before Riot

A member of the Proud Boys was in communication with a person associated with the White House in the final days before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the New York Times reported on Friday.

A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told the Times that location, cellular and call record data revealed a call linking a member of the far-right hate group to the Trump White House.

The FBI is investigating what was discussed which remains unclear at this point, and the official would not reveal the names of either party, the Times said.

How some cases have gone is just strange. For example, someone who should have known better was there. Their story is they did not go all the way to the capitol, not sure if it is true. Their boss (the local area’s politico) said they believed them and did not put them on leave or something. These are both people who should know the correct thing would have been to talk to lawyers and or the investigators before deciding what to do.

When I was working for Boeing on the Space Station project, we had our own "space cowboy". He wore the cowboy boots, jeans, hat, etc. at work, and the big ass red truck in the parking lot. And the truck was very clean.

This dribble down info is annoying.

Investigators don't talk about what they are doing until they are ready to arrest or indict. If you let people know they are under investigation, they can destroy evidence, run, etc. That's why they started with the easiest to arrest people - the clowns who posted on social media or were photographed by others. Now they are working up the food chain by following the connections from those people to the ones higher up.

When they announce something like this (we have call information linking someone to the White House, but not who), it does two things. The person they are investigating might come forward to try and get a lesser sentence/cooperate, and it might shake loose someone else they didn't know about yet.
