If GOP members in GA, who sold off their hospitality stock after getting an early covid briefing, to invest in DuPont... the maker of masks... while telling Americans the disease will just disappear... How about a real estate mogul of a president, with golf courses all over the world and major hospitality business... telling a reporter that COVID would be horrifying, but telling the public it’s nothing... then claiming closing down any business, such as his own, was unAmerican... leading protestors to attack nurses, while tweeting “LIBERATE” to individual states... were actually honest, instead of trying to make money.

    I don't really know about any of that. It's not why I posted that pic. It's for the "Just 1-2% dead, what's the big deal?" bollocks and not understanding it's not either dead or being 100% fine. The ones surviving are often fucked as well.

    Yeah this as you read it is some "Holy crap, this is some conspiracy theories". This Representative accusing other House members of helping them do recon. Wow! Idk.

    The attack on the Capitol was coordinated and planned.

    Here are the insurrectionists talking about the plan, including detailed schematics of the Capitol building.


    Vid included.

    So in this vid you see people understand the layout of the Capitol. Now you could credit this to no life morons who study Capitol building plans on the internet or had taken the Capitol Hill tour. All possible.

    Yet if you include House Members helping intentionally, this is a whole new level.

That would be on the level of the Black Death. Funny thing was, they wore masks and told people to NOT come around one another and forced quarantine them during the Black Death.

    Holy shit that video...

    Most republican congressmen and women wouldn't be aiding and abetting them but I can clearly think of a few that potentially would. The FBI will know who they are too and you can be sure they are following any email/text message/other trails between these terrorists and any inside help they might have. And if it turns out they did help wow that's going to explode the republican party.

    Hopefully they are taking a serious look at Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's not just an aider and abettor, that lunatic is a true believer. I'd be shocked if she wasn't providing them material help.

    Lauren Boebert is the one I'm thinking of it and it does indeed look like she was involved.

    I am positive that Democrat congress people would've died if they weren't evacuated.

    Holy shit, hopefully the FBI starts an investigation on her.

    A couple of them are making a hand sign. Is that a 3% thing? Also, looks like it was a photo from July.

    Wow, that is big. Every last one of these fuckers who provided help and/or incited the riot needs to be expelled from Congress and brought up on charges.

    That's a picture from mid last year, so it doesn't prove anything in of itself except that she met some of the participants in the past. Given that those are the exact kinds of people I'd expect to be drawn by her politics that's not suspicious in of itself, at least as far as proving she was helping people scout the building immediately before the attack goes.

    I'm sure the Feds will be reviewing surveillance footage from the days prior to 1/6 very closely, however.

    On a personal-anecdote note: it looks like there will be no repeat of 1/6 in or around Inauguration Day. At least, as far as preparation and response goes.

    One of our employees is in the National Guard and already got called up to be deployed to the capitol for at least the next two weekends, so it seems troops are going to be in place from the start this time around. The threat of another attack is being taken seriously, it seems.

    “But but it wasn’t a coup attempt! you gotta believe us we are true patriots!”

    Fucking bullshit. Like others have said this was being planned and their was insiders in the capitol.

    More and more evidence is coming to light.

    James Clyburn the House Majority Whip said the terrorists completely bypassed his main office which has his name but ransacked his secondary office that is unmarked but where he does most of his work.

    More insider aid stories

    Ayanna Presley who has had death threats and upped security since 2019... inexplicably every panic button in her office was torn out ahead of the insurrection.


    She told the Boston Globe that she had reached for the panic buttons installed in Ms Pressley’s office as they tried to barricade themselves in.

    But, when they went to press panic buttons, Ms Pressley’s staff saw that they weren’t there, and appeared to have been ripped out.

    “ Every panic button in my office had been torn out - the whole unit,” Ms Groh told the paper.


    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1786678.html

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/0...-attack-458655


    Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that she witnessed colleagues escorting people through the Capitol on Jan. 5 for what she described as "reconnaissance" ahead of the next day's violent insurrection that left five dead.

    In a 13-minute Facebook video billed as an address to her constituents about the House's efforts to hold President Donald Trump accountable for inciting the riot, Sherrill included the allegation as part of a call to hold Trump's allies in Congress accountable as well.
    Sure seems to look that way

    The handsign is the white supremacists "OK" sign.

    For a bunch of folks flying to and from DC a lot, they sure seem confused/angry at the use of a metal detector not unlike the one that they've probably walked through a million times before they got their TSA-Pre approval or whatever it is.

    And I guess none have gone to any kind of modern concert or sports game, because I can't remember the last time I went to one where I didn't walk through a detector/wasn't wanded.

    Sorry your insurrection has inconvenienced you, Republicans. Stop hurting yourselves.
