Was planned, or available. Literally stand down orders in other terms.
It is obvious many TRAITORS or pathetically useless blind morons were in charge of protecting the capitol.
Everyone with a working brain knew trouble was coming, and was planned by many. Now everyone is trying to gaslight us with firehoses the size of the Panama Canal so we don't understand this was planned, and botched by a bunch of assholes.
Someone just say it.
It was planned, and we are lucky more people didn't die.
If they ignored or didn't pass on intelligence, arrest them for a bunch of crimes.
The only way any good can come out of this.
Hundreds knew the Proud Boys were arming up, and coming for trouble, and the "leaders" made sure they could easily take the Capitol.
This is simply a fact.
Arrest time.

(4,619 posts)The people in charge of protecting the capitol should be in jail right now.
They were either in on it, or so blind or stupid they should be charged with negligence.
I didn't read my e-mail isn't an excuse.
We didn't call is no excuse.
Last time "Bin Laden Determined To Attack" was ignored by Bush alone. This time there is a whole gang of criminals trying to get off the hook.

(23,877 posts)Of course Cheney was behind the feigned "ignorance". But all of the top political executive branch as well as probably a few top brass in the military and IC.
W was complicit but just like trumpass was not the mastermind - just a willing puppet.

And we're all in this together. Not too many special "you"s here.

I keep thinking that they couldn't top the last one... but they do.
The progression would indicate that the next one could easily be the end of our democratic republic.

A big fat failure in his 4 years as pResident, with the Pandemic & Jan. 6 the crown jewels of failures.
Why anyone would vote for him again is beyond me.
One last note, Pendejo45 is the only pResident to lose the vote count twice!

But he won't tamp anything down. Because he's trump.

(3,349 posts)Remember the notes Lindel had? I think the plan was take prisoners and maybe kill some Congress people or the VP clearing the way to declare martial law. Therefore 45 could remain in charge.
BobTheSubgenius
(12,217 posts)The Capitol would have been guarded by insufficient manpower, all too lightly armed to be truly effective, should the situation have become dire. Communications would have been spotty, at best, with no one in clear command.
Did any of those things happen? See?
