The fascistgop is once again set to unleash its ‘military’ forces in an effort to terrorize the seat of our democracy. I hope the intel community is monitoring hawley’s communications (and those of mt greene)

Same guys used to call in bomb threats to their high schools and pull the fire alarms at least once a semester.

What’s strange about all of this is that the Capital Police Department is not an intelligence gathering agency. All throughout their testimony they repeatedly stated that they are more of a 'consumer" of intelligence rather than a primary source. Wouldn’t their warning be backed up by some other federal agency e.g. the FBI or Homeland Security?

It just doesn’t seem logical that any of those assholes would show up tomorrow. They’re cowards, and everyone knows they’re cowards. Tomorrow will be a big yawn.

And if they start any trouble, grease 'em. Let them know who had the last word. It’ll help the survivors decide if they really want to make this a war or not.

When they wear body armor it doesn’t leave the good guys much choice.

The sheer number of individuals on the House side (435) is a lot larger then the Senate (100) and then all of the staff as well. Hostage situations are usually very traumatic. I’ll bet that the level of attendance at work in the Senate will be down as well.

“The debunked QAnon conspiracy theory falsely claims that March 4 is the “true inauguration day” of former President Trump’s second term.”

Wonder what the “true inaurgeration day” will be after tomorrow.

Given all the publicity around how well the Capital grounds and building are guarded, only the insane would attempt something like they did in January.

Having said that, they are MAGAManiacs, so…

One thought, I hope other Dem states capital buildings are also guarded. You never know.
