They are patient - Let's not forget Oklahoma City. The Michigan Militia has been untouched since the bombing. Zero appetite in the federal government to be pre-emptive and strategic. Always reactive. We will be reactive again in the upcoming weeks - It will look cool and likely be effective in deterrence(NG troops with riot gear and empty rifles) but will not address things long term.

Who told you to distrust the FBI, DHS and other federal law enforcement agencies? Who told you they were failing?

Why were the Capital police denied help from the National Guard after being asked 6 times?
Point to where they've been successful? You can start by identifying great successes during the Clinton and Bush admins. Your nose is so far up trumps bunghole that you fail to see anything.
Your woke attempt to typecast people is humorous and entertaining.

Agree, and the MI militia was on full display in recent months.
I don't know, maybe you can ask the The Honorable Paul D. Irving , the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives. He's the one who denied the request. Is he a trump cronie? Or is he "big" government? But research a bit, you'll see how confused everyone was, no one wanting to take charge. As usual, they are now in react mode. Go government.
The fiasco provides a great view how multiple agencies failed. DC is a complex web of letter agencies, all that can ask for DOD help. Takes a minute to mobilize NG troops, they aren't "just available". The DC police had some, the capitol police had requested some. It's kinda like Oprah giving out stuff on her show.

This is simply unacceptable. The fact that Dems are not standing up to say no is disturbing. They want speech they disagree with silenced.Facebook is now moving up the Republican hierarchy, now limiting Ron Paul......they haven't taken on any of the big politicos (e.g., Rand Paul, Cruz, Hawley) or any of the big talking heads (e.g., Shapiro, Ingraham, Hannity, Carlson) yet.
At some point the other side will be in charge. A couple of years, decades, multi decades or more. The standard HAS to be you don't shut down opposing voices. It is unacceptable to see what we are seeing NOW and to be honest what we have seen happen more and more over the past 4-6 months.
As someone pointed out.....
"And before any liberals see this and try to raise the tired old objection about how Trump (or anyone else) can simply go elsewhere to make their voice hear, unless you’re completely daft you know that’s dishonest. There is no comparable platform to Twitter in terms of global reach in real-time. When somebody tries to start one (*cough* Parler *cough*) Big Tech rallies their massive muscle to shut them down. And even if they don’t succeed, no other platform in that arena has grown to even a fraction of a percent of the volume the giants have.
So Angela Merkel is pretty much on point here. I rarely get the opportunity to sing her praises, but she was willing to stand up for the value of free speech, even when the speech is coming from someone she clearly despises and has frequently used it to target her. Well done, Madam Chancellor. I am honestly impressed."

Both of them did I read somewhere - and they have both now resigned, along with the head of the Capitol Police. It is bizarre that it took hours to "protect" Congress. I expect Congress will resolve that pretty quickly, now that they were personally put in danger.
I also heard a TV news report of some passengers on a DC to Seattle flight who were rowdily chanting MAGA slogans and abusing the flight attendants who were trying to quiet them down. After the flight, they were taken aside and told that they were banned from that airline for life.

Censorship is certainly wrong. I agree that the Dems should be asking Qs about this also.

The fact that he isn't getting organic food is a travesty.
I for one LOVE paying more money for food labeled as organic. I get to wink and nod and virtue signal to the other shoppers in line at Walmart...eh hem ... I mean AJ's Fine Foods or Sprouts.
I have done the taste tests. Cannot tell the difference when it is a blind test. But when they show me which is which at that point I do know which is healthier and tastier.
Anyway "Set him free or give him organic food!".
I think that may be the modern version of "Give me liberty or give me death!"
I will make a prediction here and now though. Bank on seeing that outfit this coming Halloween. Not sold at stores of course. But we have enough creative spirits out there that can create their own version of the "Buffalo Man".

I didn't bother reading the article, but here are more photos of the "Buffalo Man" at different points in his life.
'QAnon Shaman' is a 33-year-old failed actor who lives with his mom
33-year-old Jacob Angeli Chansley is one of the MAGA rioters wanted by DC police for his part in storming the Capitol building on Wednesday.

Apparently all is not lost.
"The judge said that was “deeply concerning” and ordered Chansley’s public defender to work with U.S. Marshals on the dietary concerns."
I can sleep better now.
DC is a finicky place when it comes to deploying DOD assets. NG troops were in the city, supporting DC police at traffic control points. Since that's the criteria they were activated under, those troops couldn't pivot to the capitol to conduct law enforcement activities. It sounds silly but it's the way it is. They eventually made their way over to the capitol building.
Goes right back to the incompetence and lack of judgement on capitol hill. The irony is that the direct order for activation for more troops to the capital likely came from trump. In reality, it's likely the president authorized the call up days before. Oh, the plot thickens for the conspiracy theory chuckleheads.
Likely?
people are going to have a fit, what a travesty.
such as well might happen or be true; probable.
