National Guard at Capitol Authorized to Use Lethal Force in Aftermath of Mob

[jpn]

Corrupt bought and paid for election officials that should be jailed for certifying the uncertifiable.

The only difference between this election and all the others is that Trump refused to concede because he's a psychopath. He couldn't even admit that his 2016 Inauguration had fewer people in attendance than Obama's.
So he keeps claiming fraud and the Trump turd-polishers grovel and kiss-ass and refuse to tell him to grow up and take his loss like a man.
And the silly fraud claims get lots of play by the far-right media because that's what their audiences want, and away we go.

Have a ceremony with very limited attendance and stream it.

That's basically what they're having.

Isnt it amazing how quickly all the democrats who echoed the defund the police mantra cower behind them when they feel threatened. Where was this display of force when it was private citicizens being terrorized by the mostly peaceful protesters?

As any serious person knows, "defund" really means "reform," which is desperately needed.
As for cowering and feeling threatened, what would you have done? Write a very strong post on DP?
The "display of force when it was private citizens being terrorist by the mostly peaceful protesters" was all over our televisions this summer. Black people being brutalized by overly armed, overly aggressive police--the kind that we didn't see at the Capitol until far too late.
Hopefully our police and security forces will now finally recognize that the real domestic terrorist threat is not from black people, it's from white supremacists. You know, Trump's base.

You are correct, a lot of the theft has been occurring for decades and had been accepted by Republicans. The massive theft needed to drag basement Joe and Heels up over the finish line was over the top and not supported by statistics. Joe did the impossible all in the dark of night without any safeguards to fraud.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

What a sad day for America that this is what things have come to. Can't even have an inauguration without the threat of domestic terrorism.

Trump's America.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

You're mistaken if you think the Biden Inauguration will look like a Trump "super-spreader" rally.

The COVID rules (masks, social distancing, etc) will be enforced. Most of this is by invitation only.

I'm not even sure about the traditional stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue. I doubt it.

It's a shame Trump is leaving such a rancid stench over our country after crapping on America for the past four years. I hope he pays dearly for all he's done to the United States of America and its people.

Amazing how incompetent you believe Republican election officials are.

Corrupt bought and paid for election officials that should be jailed for certifying the uncertifiable.

And I read on the internet that lots of people are saying that anyone running around making wild arsed ignorant accusations to justifify bullshit butt hurt fantasies should be charged as being a public nusiance. I don't know, what do you think?

See when you make statements like that you expose the fact that you have no friggin' clue how your elections are run, who runs them, all of the processes in place to prevent fraud, what the tens of billions invested in election securing the election infrastructure from fraud and manipulation was spent on, the coordination of ALL state election officials regardless of partisanship, the tens of thousands of election observers, the fact that Dominion voting machines ALL produce a paper ballot, that ballots cannot be counted multiple times, and on and on and on with facts that blow the Trumpian Kraken Big Lie to bits.

so by all means, cling to this fantasy of Trump's massive election victory and his unfair victimization by the deep state as the dreams of the far right fascist white nationalists/supremacists evaporate before their eyes while the hammer of American Democracy and Law and Order comes crashing down upon them. An ironic yet fitting fate for these "patriot" totalitarians.

Let me as you a question
Do you think there was more white people rioting this summer or protesting at the capitol building on jan 6th?

Because according to you the police treated the protesters favorably on the 6th because of their skin color but the riots I watched over the past year has been mostly white people oarticipating in them. How do you explain that?

Also how do you explain all the democrats calling for less police presence at the events of this summer and in communities in general but now many of these same voices have done a 180 and are xheering the demand for greater police presence now?

The only thing that's racist going on is progressives trying to hide their political motives behind race like it shields them from being seen for who and what they are.

I appreciate the cadre outing themselves as lowlife scum. I didn't have to risk a violation for stating it.

USA has really sunken to be a 3rd world shithole.

Absolute crazy to see the downfall of a once developed country in such a fast velocity.

The power transition must now be guaranteed by the military.

Thats like Nicaragua ha ha ha ha ha

 

[Bodi]

There should be no public inauguration due to Covid.

Edited to add: No in-person public inauguration. Most certainly a streamed / televised one. Just so everyone knows it's real and it happened....

I thought that he was doing a virtual inauguration ...

And still not even close to 1/1 millionth as bad as Nazi Germany...

Must even more hurt you now to see us stand on our ivory tower, looking down on you, while holding our wine glasses and laugh, as we turn around to attend the grand festival...while your peasants fight for the scraps in the shithole capitol.

Btw i plan my tour for 2022 already.

So federal troops are now officially authorized to mass shoot Republicans? No surprise there. That is what the new Beijing Biden's presidency began with - shooting an unarmed female Republican protester to death - and will become the norm is the new Corporate-fascist authoritarian government of the plutocrats and kleptocrats.

No one should be surprise that - like Hitler - Biden wants to surround himself with displays of military force, while it is announced that political opposition will be shot, but encouraging mobs to attack, burn, loot and terrorize political opposition.

It's clear enough, like leftists everywhere, that they want a one party state.

 

[Fred C Dobbs II]

Trump's America.

This is not Trump's America, It is the new regime, the same people who brought you the extended Russia Hoax, and you'd better get used to it. https://www.vox.com/2021/1/15/22233623/national-guard-capitol-secret-service-fbi-washington-dc

 

[Fred C Dobbs II]

Ah, the unbiquitous unknown “official”. Are they ever wrong?

Yes, the same 'sources' who lied about the Russia Hoax, Benghazi, the useless investigations and impeachments. Now you even have the hatreds rising to the level where many Americans want to kill any political opposition. And the country is rudderless, being run by nameless bureaucrats in the Pentagon, and the Intelligence community.

 

[Fred C Dobbs II]

Stop it.
They are authorized to shoot violent protestors if they try to take over the capitol.
Your hyperbole level is astronomical, and really idiotic.

Any idea when the troops will leave and the country return to normal?

The bureaucrats didn't waste any time in usurping the Constitutional responsibilities of the Commander in Chief. Quite a precedent.

National Guard at Capitol Authorized to Use Lethal Force in Aftermath of Mob (US News)This is serious business. It is a pretty clear indication that the threat to the Inauguration is real, indeed.

I found it interesting that some of The Donald's mob at the Capitol on 1/6 used bear spray on the cops. It is stronger and has a farther reach than what's approved for LE, according to interviews.

I think they should hand that out to the LE on post in DC and other state capitals. Show 'em you can put a world of hurt on 'em before they get too close. It makes it their choice to advance or not, and I'd like to see LE not have to make the same physical sacrifices again if it can be avoided.
