And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

I would think, as well, that Trump's speech would at least be aired on a time delay. No responsible outlet is gonna be cool with just putting him live on air at this point.

feels like theater to some extent but i'll take it:

The US Army is working with the Secret Service to determine if there are soldiers who will be part of the National Guard contingent providing security at the inauguration who require additional background screening.

"The D.C. National Guard is also providing additional training to service members as they arrive in D.C. that if they see or hear something that is not appropriate, they should report it to their chain of command," an Army spokesperson said in a written statement to CNN.

“There is no place for extremism in the military and we will investigate each report individually and take appropriate action,” the statement said.

“The Army is committed to working closely with the F.B.I. as they identify people who participated in the violent attack on the Capitol to determine if the individuals have any connection to the Army,” the statement said while adding that any type of activity that “involves violence, civil disobedience, or a breach of peace,” may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or under state and federal law.

Current Defense Department policy requires all service members be trained annually under a program that requires department personnel to report “any information regarding known or suspected extremist behavior that could be a threat to the department or the United States,” the statement said.

"There is no place for extremism in the military..."

Yeah, I'm sure the ARMY OF ONE recruitment campaign really helped weed out these radicalized lone wolves.

finally we'll get that sequel to Who's Nailin' Palin?

Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget that Motor City

I have to imagine left-wing protest groups are going to start mobilizing again, right? I know they did last week in some of the smaller state skirmishes, and wisely avoided the federal (basically going anywhere where a bloodbath could occur not the wisest choice). pretty certain they won't be at the Capitol or at least, not en masse. but after?

I really want to but I'm also much more afraid now :/.

"And remember... Hitler was a socialist!!"

I'm getting so sick of this canard.

They'd be better advised to let the ruling ethnic factions fight it out amongst themselves for a while.

Hearing about how 'America is a Republic, not a Democracy!!!' likewise drives me up the wall and is up there with the most moronic tells of all.

"It's a Republic, so only Republicans can rule!"

seems like they're trying to make it into a monarchy again.

LOL @ this idiot claiming credit for the development of the vaccine

Make America Gentry Again!

6 feet? masks?
how about we do 2 feet and no masks, we're good

Could we actually lock and start over? My poor Macbook sounds like it's gonna take off when I have to load the whole page.

Hit that bookmark button. It feels good.

Wildo!

It does work.

FBI/AG guy talking now about all the cases we know about from social media, vs. all sorts of serious stuff they are currently pursuing that fewer know about, including reportedly serious charges of sedition and conspiracy and weapons.

President Donald Trump speaking now: "The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for."

AG/FBI guy just indicated that in some instances tear gas was used *on* the capital police. They seem to be taking it seriously, or at least will be for the week or so until they're replaced by hopefully better people.

“We’re going to project. We’re going to project so much. We’re going to project at trade, we’re going to project at the border. We’re going to project so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of projecting, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t project anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to project anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.' And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep projecting, projecting, projecting, We’re going to make America great again."
