My first thought was that the Iranians had followed through on their threat to strike the Capitol.

I’m impressed she didn’t think it was the Libyans.

Joe Biden: “I think it’s critically important that there be a real, serious focus on holding those folks who engaged in sedition and threatened people’s lives, defaced public property, caused great damage — that they be held accountable.”

I like that people are gonna act like this is some momentous statement, rather than something that up until recently, we would have assumed was just a statement of the obvious.

@newbrof

that’s the problem. A lot of former this and former that. But when in office, nothing.

This is why I find the with holding of funding from donors to be one of the more encouraging things happening right now. That will certainly get the attention of the “establishment” Republicans. (In quotes because they’re all anti-democratic insurrectionists but some are primarily political animals as opposed to the true believer lunatic fringe.)

Nice to see Susan Collins admitting she can’t tell the difference between Iranian terrorists and Trump supporters.

This almost makes me want to listen to Master Shake’s show today. Almost.

In reality, the Iranian terrorists are a lot more coherent and intelligent.

The MAGA crowd is much more like the Taliban, or ISIS, in that they’re just violent idiots.

Bowser urges people to avoid DC as National Guard plans to have up to 15,000...

Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation’s capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power.

The number keeps going up.

Pence afraid of a man who could do nothing other than say mean things.

Yes, but that man says mean things to crackpots with guns who would absolutely march on their own state capitals. People would be injured and possibly die, so I can understand his restraint. As long as Trump sits the fuck down and shuts the fuck up I’m perfectly fine with Pence not invoking the 25th as we proceed with impeachment.

So can ISIS, yet we don’t let them do whatever they want.

Pence is a coward bowing to terrorism in your example. That’s actually worse.

It’s the right call but I hate this. Up to 15,000 troops in DC for an inauguration? How far we have sunk in just four short years. Fuck the GOP and their enablers.

[Thrag]

It will be like the military parade Trump always wanted.

[BrianRubin]

I dunno if y’all are aware but the videos on Twitter and Facebook under the hashtag #noflylist are just marvelous and y’all need to see 'em. Here’s a good compilation.

#NoFlyList videos of sobbing domestic terrorists being arrested on airplanes...

Part of me is wondering if they deserve their own thread.

Finally.

Michigan bans open carry of guns inside state Capitol

15,000 troops in DC

All fun and games until Order 66 is issued.

I’m curious. Did QShaman Sideshow Mel-looking motherfucker think he’d be issued organic C-rations during this war he’s trying to start?

The dude screaming that he’s being treated like a black person . I have no words.
