Militia expert Lawrence Rosenthal:
“These guys … believe that the liberal world is weak and flabby, and that they are the real tough guys. And when that gets shoved back in their face, they tend to scurry away. Biden has to turn loose his Justice department to do that.”
Let’s do it. Can’t wait to see these douches get bossed.

Yes, I wouldn't call it a coup though. I would call it a few bad apples acting a fool. Far fewer than the other side that literally controlled city blocks and a police station for almost a month.Hey @MSK357, did this Capitol Hill police officer die “with” injuries sustained defending our country from a coup?
Police Confirm Death Of Officer Injured During Attack On Capitol
The Capitol Police said that officer Brian Sicknick died from his injuries and that several other officers injured in the attack remain hospitalized.www.npr.org
Good article on the subject. The price the D's would pay is: a) removing a headache for the Republicans, b) distracting for Biden's legislative agenda and cabinet picks in the first 100 days in favor of an impeachment circus, c) years of litigation on the subject if Trump chooses to challenge it, and d) inflaming his now cowed supporters. Biden's unity pitch would essentially go out the window. It's a tactical mistake, particularly after the moves made by big tech.

Trump may even further muddy the legal waters since this would likely cause him to blanket pardon himself (he's got nothing else to lose if he thinks it will happen).
Republicans Meet With Senate Parliamentarian to Discuss Impeachment Timeline
A group of Senate Republicans including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) met Friday morning with the Senate parliamentarian in a ransacked office to discuss a timeline for impeachment proceedings, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation.

Y’all are wrong that impeaching the peachy colored ignoramous is a mistake. This time an impeachment has an (albeit low) chance, which puts a lot of pressure on him to resign and get the pardon from fly boy Pence. He’ll never get enough return phone calls from Senate offices to know for sure if he’s sage. If he takes his chances, he’ll need to give himself his fake self-pardon, pardon his family, the child molester Guiliani and a few more of the creeps before he wants to and while his impeachment is happening. All of that is as embarrassing as f**k and doesn’t exactly help his case. Every single thing that can be done to humiliate him between today and Jan 21 needs to be done, Kick the s**tbag at every opportunity starting right now. So long as he’s on the defensive, he gets more and more exposed as the fraud and embarrassment that he is. The magats will slink away.

He can’t pardon himself out of impeachment, numbskull, which is all the more reason to do it. There’s no distraction from Biden’s agenda. He’s not an incompetent stooge like your baboon of a boss, and has an actual plan. Oh, he also has both houses of Congress. The whole notion that the first 100 days are critical went away once Mr. Diaper man lowered the bar so low that speaking in complete sentences makes you seem overqualified. Bigly.
For those who doubted the Rome analogy, Caesar the tyrant has been stabbed and is bleeding on the floor of the Senate after rumors he sought to declare himself king. On the one side, beware of Brutus and Cassius. They at first were hailed as heros, but the contempt of the equine for the proles led to them quickly becoming villains. They believed they had restored the Republic and couldn't recognize it was already dead. On the other, beware of Anthony and Augustus. Assuming Caesar does pass from his injuries, the winning move for a politician on the right is "I've come to bury Caesar, not to praise him". To thread this, Biden will need to be a better man than Cicero.

Really? I’m all for hyperbole and all, but there is absolutely zero similarity between Julius Ceasar and the Orange Julius.
Not a conspiracy but a complete lack of leadership and a failure to plan. 40,000 people on a permit on such a significant day? Why refuse the help? It's not a conspiracy in the least, just incompetence. And a request for national guard assets 2 days prior doesn't cut it.
Such nonsense - it's not a partisan effort to undermine, prosecute, and defeat right wing groups, or any wing groups for that matter. All of a sudden, a Biden led administration is going to kick ass all over right wing militias? Crazy talk. The Federal Government has a horrible track record when confronting any wing groups. Their efforts have only increased membership, especially in right wing groups. They don't have a real appetite for getting their hands dirty when it comes to these groups and would rather react. But his words sound cool and gets people in his neighborhood all fired up. They put down their lattes and raise their fists in support. Give me a break.
Let's not forget a legit siege of a federal building in portland for months - with documented proof of attempted murder of Federal Officers by antifa latte warriors.
The ACLU has come out hard against the twitter purges. I used to be a member and have been disappointed by its turn towards wokeness so I am pleasantly surprised.
Rs including those that have condemned Trump for his actions and voted against challenging the electoral count (notably Graham who was recently accosted in an airport by Trump supporters) have said the logical end result is under the same financial challenges standards impeaching Joe Biden for the Hunter Biden stuff and Kamala Harris for the incitement stuff if control of the house shifts. The end result of this is going to be constant impeachments by the Congress over sitting presidents they think have crossed behavior lines.

Oops, turns out you had no clue what Parler actually depends on. So who are Google and Apple in your goofy Roman analogy?
The pathetic ineptitude of the magats is truly astounding
Due to extraordinary stupidity and blind allegiance to The Orange Bozo the Clown of Mar-a-Lago, the Herman Cain award and immediate entrant into the Magat hall of fame goes to Kevin Greelen, who stormed the Capitol yesterday with a taser concealed in his pants. He was in the process of stealing a portrait of Tip O’Neill when he accidentally & repeatedly discharged the taser. He tased himself in the balls until he suffered a fatal heart attack.

Bothsides-ism. Marmalade-a-lago attempts to take down democracy, but that’s the same as Child Molester Guiliani planting and then “finding” a fake Hunter Biden laptop at a computer repair shop in BFE. Sure.

Actually this is a big problem.
We only have a few platforms that are somewhat universal in terms of communication. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Over the past year and especially the last half year, these platforms have blocked messaging from the right. Their reasoning is not consistent since they do not apply the same rules to the left. Now some may argue they are private companies...and they are. But at the same time they are essentially monopolies. By that I mean if you cannot message on those 3 you effectively are not messaging.
I personally am not happy or comfortable with the idea that now ideas are being suppressed.
Take for instance the NY Post stories on the Hunter Biden laptop. They produced emails, photos, etc of what appears to be shall we say sketchy behavior on the part of Hunter that ALSO includes payments from various government. Twitter banned the NY Post stories saying that they do not allow stories about hacked or illegally gained information to be propagated. Yet just a few months ago, they allowed NY Times stories about Trump taxes that were illegally leaked. So they are inconsistent.
They have blocked certain Trump tweets saying it promotes violence. Yet allow tweets from Iran threatening violence as another example.
And so on.
It is actually a scary thing if we now have gatekeepers like that that suppress speech/thought from one side of the political spectrum, but not the other.
As a general rule I believe Sunshine is the best disinfectant for various speech/thought. And generally private companies do have the right to limit what is on their platform.
However when their platforms are basically the only ones used worldwide (twitter, instagram, facebook, etc) and they are censoring certain content, we do have a problem since it effectively silences a significant portion of the population.

It is a terrible mistake silencing a side you do not agree with. And they have been doing it much more over the past year.
With these big corporations, there are only a few big platforms that reach the masses. The owners of these platforms have started to take sides. NOT a good thing.

Actually is a dark day. And the banning of thought/speech/ideas from various sites has much more long term (bad) consequences vs what happened the other day in the capital.
