Sounds like a lot of trespassing charges. I’m going to laugh my ass off if the FBI employs Rudy’s stupid fucking “broken windows” theory of policing to throw the book at a whole bunch of these dipshits.
It sounds like it honestly, the DC US Atty is strongly emphasizing that their focus has been bagging and tagging the insurrectionists which require an easily demonstrated probable cause for charges. Their intent is to continue to build sedition and conspiracy charges to develop felony cases

We're going to see more violence and the man inciting the violence can't see that he's inciting violence. President of the US, just now:
QuoteReporter: What is your role in what happened at the capitol? What is your personal responsibility?
Trump: If you read my speech, and many people have done it and I've seen it in the papers and in the media, on television, uh, it's been analyzed and people thought that what I said was totally appropriate and if you look at what other people have said, politicians at a high level about the riots over the summer in Portland and Seattle and various other places, that was a real problem what they said. But they've analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph my final sentence and everybody to the tee thought it was appropriate.
So are we going to do a thread for each state's assault on its capitol or just do a megathread? This shit isn't going to slow down at all.

1) no relations to them. just a long time lurker.
2) are you suggesting trump has installed his own deep state loyal to him?
It's not a deep state, it's a shallow puddle of headless agencies. More than half of the federal agencies that exist to protect us (on paper at least) have either an acting head or no leadership. It's damn near impossible to coordinate a response and share information when there is such a high level of institutional chaos - that's not my opinion, it's the opinion of the FBI and capitol police.
But yes, trump has installed his own set of loyalists in agencies across the federal government. That's why there's so few that have actually been confirmed, and many more agencies without leadership after refusing to do his dirty work.

In light of the escalation in domestic terrorism threats, thoughts on a future patriot act?
1) hi tahoe or rex or whoever's sock this is
2) Unnecessary - the feds already have all the tools they could need and then some to handle this. The issue is that the feds seemingly intentionally did nothing to stop or hinder the attack on the capitol. And the sitting president was stoking the domestic terrorism.

Ivanka being there might stop The Donald from egging on his supporters. Daddy's Little Girl getting hurt would devastate him, especially if her pretty little face got busted. He doesn't fuck ugly chicks with scarred faces.
'member when ivanka and jared were supposed to be the moderating force in the white house and stop trump's worst instincts? I 'member.

Have you talked with his nursing home to determine what their vaccine protocols and timing are? As I understand it after next week Texas is going to stop reserving substantial doses for care facilities, so they better have a plan in place at this point or the doses might start getting pushed out to 1B more aggressively.
We have, he's in an unfortunate limbo getting moved between rehabilitation hospitals to more adequately care for a bedsore that developed into a wound at a nursing home we just moved him out of. We have been calling and asking but haven't gotten much more than "we'll let you know"

I wanted to tag chickensandwich into the discussion on banning parler since DT isn't appropriate for that.
What is wrong with a private business enforcing its term of service against a website that is repeatedly and knowingly violating TOS? Have you read the letter outlining why their accounts were suspended?
QuoteDear Amy,
Thank you for speaking with us earlier today.
As we discussed on the phone yesterday and this morning, we remain troubled by the repeated violations of our terms of service. Over the past several weeks, we’ve reported 98 examples to Parler of posts that clearly encourage and incite violence. Here are a few examples below from the ones we’ve sent previously: [See images in link.]
Recently, we’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms. It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service. It also seems that Parler is still trying to determine its position on content moderation. You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency. Your CEO recently stated publicly that he doesn’t “feel responsible for any of this, and neither should the platform.” This morning, you shared that you have a plan to more proactively moderate violent content, but plan to do so manually with volunteers. It’s our view that this nascent plan to use volunteers to promptly identify and remove dangerous content will not work in light of the rapidly growing number of violent posts. This is further demonstrated by the fact that you still have not taken down much of the content that we’ve sent you. Given the unfortunate events that transpired this past week in Washington, D.C., there is serious risk that this type of content will further incite violence.
AWS provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we continue to respect Parler’s right to determine for itself what content it will allow on its site. However, we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others. Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler’s account effective Sunday, January 10th, at 11:59PM PST. We will ensure that all of your data is preserved for you to migrate to your own servers, and will work with you as best as we can to help your migration.

There's no issues with the older series 3 Ryzen CPUs honestly. I have the 3700x and couldn't be happier. However, the GPU shortages are a pain in the ass to deal with. I don't envy anyone trying to get one of those right now.
I've been checking the Houston microcenter every morning and they've been getting three or four 30XX cards a week

Care to elaborate on that neg, Hayduke?
Even if there was not a conspiracy -- for the record, Larry Wilkerson, Jay's guest on that show, thinks it was more likely sheer incompetence -- January 6 certainly accomplished a lot of what McConnell wanted to get done. So it could be a case of constructing a conspiracy backward from the results.
I don't disagree with what you're speculating, but that sort of discussion and speculation should be in the CR.
I do think it deserves discussion on how we still have not had a briefing from the FBI, Capitol PD, DHS, or the white house.
We were getting by the minute updates on prior civil unrest, I wonder what the difference could be....

Just think about how stupid you would have to be to turn over the front and back of your drivers license, your photo and you SSN to an extreme far right website that’s only been around a few years.
You're asking alot from a group with a barely highschool level of education

Richard Spencer true colors was unfolded through a recording of a call.
I think that killing a very popular platform like Parler that had many basic conservatives, then force them into a more a space like Gab is just bad/good. You just made lots of people mad that might not had cared as much, and made them more susceptible, but then you could have just made it more moderate. We'll find out. You can't kill an idea by force, the Sacrotes out front should of told you that.
It's crazy to think this site could be gone, just cause Google says so.
Appeasement rarely works with fascists, historically speaking.
