They have put more than 120 people on the no-fly list and have by all accounts identified every single person in their wanted list, and are in the process of arresting them. Who GAF if they get up on camera at this point. We know they are working this stuff as we drink the tears of the MAGA terrorists.
They employ a lot of people. It's not too much to ask that one of those people, who isn't actively doing the grunt work to find and charge people, to stand before some cameras and tell the nation (the people they work for) what's going on. We all understand they can't tell us everything. Yeah, we might complain about that sometimes, but we understand and we (again, the people they work for) want updates.culdeus said:
The delicious irony in all this is that those insurgents who felt strongly compelled to occupy a Federal building? When their trials are complete, they'll be occupying another type of Federal building for a loooong time.culdeus said:
I hope not.
Didn’t really see this reported by media unless every blue checkmark on Twitter is media.
Is twitter a form of media? and does this sorta thing only exist in twitter? I don't think getting lost in the semantics is productive for anyone.
One thing I've noticed is that there tends to be an inverse proportion between "civil unrest" and "warnings about civil unrest". In other words, the more it gets reported -- the more the flashlight shines on it -- the less likely it is to happen.
I really don't think so, but if it is being planned, it's being planned way underground and is likely much more nefarious in nature, so you'll have to trust the FBI on this one.
Come on, man. Twitter is not "The Media". When you go down that path, then you're justifying every Qanon whacko who says "It must be true, I saw it reported on Twitter."

Twitter is a medium of communication, so sure it’s part of the media. But it’s not a news-gathering organization with editorial standards, which is how I perceived you to be using the phrase.
From my experience as a DC resident, I think there was a lot of talk, if not specifically directed to storming the capital, at least to the expectation that these protests would be violent. The mayor advised residents to stay out of downtown NW.
I agree that we shouldn't include Twitter itself when we talk about "the media," but every significant media figure is on Twitter. Following a few is a really good remedy for deifying "the media."

She also publicly stated she wanted no extra federal law enforcement personnel deployed without coordinating with MPD and that MPD was prepared for all the activities and had it under control and had coordinated with Capitol Police, Park Police, and had DC national guard called up for traffic duty and crowd control, but wanted them unarmed.
We’re sorry, this site is currently experiencing technical difficulties.
I'd considered starting a thread on her. She's quite the, um, conservative. She was speaking on the floor with a lot of fervor just as the uprising outside the Capitol building was getting started. I'm not a fan.

I believe they mean "disgruntled former State Department employee".
Another person who deserves to lose her seat under the terms of the 14th amendment.
at the one where the coda from "Layla" is the background music ala "Goodfellas".
Apparently most of them predate the 6th, but a guy can pretend. The Layla outro guy is a genius.
I don't know if she deleted it, or if her twitter timeline shows it, but she definitely posted the "This is 1776" stuff. I'm pretty sure I saw it and posted it here too.
Yep. I don't think she committed an actual crime (like I don't think Trump committed an actual crime), but her actions (like Trump's) could be a prima face case for removal or other sanction based on her position.
Not sure I can post the one where the guy says you treat me like a ____ black person. But that's my favorite so far.
into everything.
