Capitol Rioters Planned for Weeks in Plain Sight. The Police Weren't Ready. - ProPublica

"The warnings of Wednesday’s assault on the Capitol were everywhere — perhaps not entirely specific about the planned time and exact location of an assault on the Capitol, but enough to clue in law enforcement about the potential for civil unrest."

There is a fundamental difference between protesting oppression and authority slaughtering civilians... and whining because a vote didn't go thier way. If someone can't see that difference, I wonder about their morality.

Rep. Mullin (R) is trying to distance himself and the GOP from, well, the GOP traitors on NBC. Perhaps he should have avoided using the phrase "there's been dangerous rhetoric on both sides"...

NBC talking head says that the traitors will be identified from video and images, including those from social media.

Sounds like they could use some help from that same social media.

Listening to Rep McCarthy hem and haw and dodge the question is why my HS teachers had me read "Profiles in Courage".

HOW ARE YOU SHOCKED BY THIS? HOW ARE YOU SAYING "WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE THIS HAPPEN?" They have been bragging about this for years. Time to believe them.
