Several Well-Known Hate Groups Identified At Capitol Riot | Talking Points Memo

This is part I strongly agree with.

The response from the business side has been heartening. The push back on the foolish Hawley and Cruz et al has been somehow surprising. However I plan to leave any physical response to the professionally trained. They have already arrested 80+ and there will be more.

“We’re not putting up with this tyrannical rule. … If we gotta come back here and start a revolution and take all these traitors out — which is what should happen — then we will.”

“Many of us will return on January 19, 2021 carrying Our weapons,” wrote the Parler user, who goes by the handle Colonel007. “We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match.”

To whoever is responsible for protecting America from invasion and insurrection:

When people tell you who they are, believe them.
The barbarians are not at the gates, they are inside the gates laughing at you. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Get vigilant.

Thank you.

Some of the participants in the Insurrection may consider it a jamboree. Consider giving credit where it is due. I call it a Gym (Jordan) Boree.

Impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. Preferably by end of business on Monday.

“We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match.”

Sure, sonny. But consider making out a will, if you own anything. And tell your mom you love her.

They were in Seattle. They were in Portland. We KNEW it. We SAW them. Provoking, inciting, breaking windows. It did not make BLM less complicit but it started with these guys who KNEW what they could inflame. It IS domestic terrorism. It’s not a frat party. It’s not a tailgate gone wrong. They are terrorists.

Moscow Mitch says ‘nyet’ to removal. Any trial can’t possibly be scheduled until january 19th.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told his caucus in a memo that the chamber cannot take up impeachment until Jan. 19 at the earliest. Updates: Republican Sen. Pat Toomey says Trump 'committed impeachable offenses'

That’s a day before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated and Trump leaves office. The Senate is currently in recess and only holding pro forma sessions every three days, with one scheduled for Jan. 12 and another for Jan. 15.

McConnell, R-Ky., said it would take unanimous consent from all 100 senators to conduct any kind of business, including impeachment, during the pro forma sessions.

Not so sure, Trumps election brought them out of the woodwork but these seditious assholes have been around in one form or another since the civil war. And its been building to a head for years and years.

I’d love to see the voting histories of some of these guys, and gals. I believe those that rant the loudest are the ones who don’t bother to vote.
