Is our government going to panic every time a militia group throws a tantrum?

[Archae]

Oh right, QAnon says Trump will take power again today.

I know, and anyone SANE knows it's bullshit.

But some wack job "militia" is going to throw a tantrum.

SOOOO...WHAT.

Do we close down our government every time a batshit crazy group makes a little noise?

1. I refer back to an old saying,

It is better to safe than sorry.

[Atticus]

7. A guy named Neville Chamberlain once adopted that policy. In short order,

he was sorry, but not safe.

[Atticus]

2. I agree wholeheartedly. I feel like we know how to stop this BS but we're all too

"civilized" to say it out loud or in print.

3. So long as a Qanon or other associated Militia Member holds a seat in Congress

It's a little bit more complicated than wackos on the outside of government is threatening Congress, when as is the case, the enemy is within. Remember on the 6th, they had their enablers planted inside, giving them tours of the layout of the Capitol inside, outside, and the tunnels who they wanted to trap the Congress members so they could gas them.

They are occupying seats in Congress. That's the difference.

4. Should've stayed quiet, let them gather, then ambush them

and arrest them all.

9. I agree. What was the purpose of

Announcing it all over the news!

5. Yes, it worked for Bush in 2004 ... Make MAGA Scary Some More

6. If they were any other terrorist group

They'd be bagged, tagged and sent off to some rock in the middle of the Indian Ocean. These proud idiots are pressing their luck.

8. And if they were not white

They’d all be denied bail.

10. This is really embarrassing.

Shutting down the Capitol is capitulation to terrorists. It can’t be interpreted any other way than sheer cowardice. They won and apparently they can do this at will now.

11. I hope not

we'll see

12. Everyone who was busily kicking the shit out of the Capitol Police on Jan 7th

Cant have it both ways. The problem is that there are hundreds of threats against the Capitol every week. What is actionable and what is not....in this instance, the House was able to complete its work last night and send Members home while waiting on the Senate. There was no reason not to finish work last night and then send the Members home while waiting on the Senate.

Now, we are comparing the Speaker to Neville Chamberlain, sometimes you just can’t win.
