Huh? Our sweet little Donnie?

I mean it was obvious, even before the leaked videos of the mob being allowed to run free.

Do they take us for fools? Nobody just "storms" the capitol building unless they're being allowed.

this shit rag is running with it as well...


Oh look - Murdoch caping-up for the far-right, as usual. A pretty thin story there - an un-named police-source (and if nothing else, events have shown which side the police are on) claiming two people glimpsed in a crowd looked a bit like someone they miraculously-remember having caught a glimpse of in a previous crowd a couple of months ago. Yeah, that's convincing evidence, sure. Really definitive stuff.

Just will not fit their reality. Everything has to be black or white. Can't be a white conservative and destroy property.

And if the ones I've been in are an indication, I'm surprised they managed it. It takes some fairly serious hardware to get through the doors or walls.


Not knowing what a "SCIF" was, I googled it, and the first hit was




House Republicans on Wednesday, as a protest, stormed the SCIF where Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Laura Cooper was preparing to testify before the three House committees leading the inquiry. Some lawmakers even appeared to live-tweet from the SCIF once inside. The political stunt caused a five-hour delay of the hearing and angered Democrats. House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi requested House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul D. Irving investigate the "reckless action."

...which to me suggests not all SCIFs are exactly impregnable.

In related news, now have several high level statements confirming that the Trump Defense Department delayed and refused to activate the District National Guard, and acted to delay and block deployment of mutual aid from the Maryland national guard, even as U.S. Capitol was being breeched.

...Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam was still fielding questions about vaccine distribution from reporters at 2:26 p.m. when spokeswoman Alena Yarmosky got a text, saying that rioters had stormed the U.S. Capitol. His chief of staff, Clark Mercer, got a call about that same time and stepped into the hallway. It office of D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, saying the Defense Department was refusing to activate the District’s National Guard. The mayor wanted Northam to send in Virginia’s, as well as state police.

Only Northam could deploy the Guard, but because of mutual-aid agreements, Public Safety Secretary Brian Moran, who had stepped into the hall with Mercer, had the power to dispatch state police without waiting for the governor’s approval. Moran and Mercer signed off on the troopers on the spot, and they were rolling into the District by 3:15 p.m.

...Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan offered new details Thursday about the delayed response to assist law enforcement at the Capitol, saying the Maryland National Guard was ready to help but was “repeatedly” told they did not have the authorization needed to join the effort. Hogan received a panicked call from House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md)., who pleaded with him to send in troops from Maryland, the governor said. Hoyer told him that he was calling from a secure location with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Hogan said Maj. Gen. Timothy Gowen, the adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, was repeatedly rebuffed by the head of the National Guard at the federal level. Gowen “kept running it up the flagpole, and we don’t have authorization,” Hogan said. “We don’t have authorization.”

Ninety minutes later, Hogan said, he received a call “out of the blue, not from the secretary of defense, not through what would be normal channels,” but from Ryan McCarthy, the secretary of the Army. McCarthy asked if the Maryland guardsmen could “come as soon as possible,” Hogan recounted.

What was that about again? The Duck shoting someone in front of WH in daylight with no consequences?

Just look at this!



The reason why nothing happened in all these fours years is because there's a lot of fanatical worshipers inside the government that are part of all this.

Nothing surprises me, as this unfolded I knew these coked out grifters had some role in the events of the day.
