Trump supporters are planning to storm the Capitol again on 4 March, lawmaker warns

[sabra]

Source: Independent UK

Donald Trump’s supporters are allegedly planning a second attack on the US Capitol on 4 March, a Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee has said.

Adam Smith, the chairman of the committee, told defence officials on Wednesday that QAnon conspiracy theorists and Trump supporters were considering another siege on the Capitol on that day, CNN reported.

QAnon conspiracists — borrowing claims made by the extremist sovereign citizens movement — believe that Mr Trump will come back as US president on 4 March — the day inaugurations took place before 1933.

According to theories circulating online, the United States has not been a country since the gold standard was unpegged in 1933 under Franklin D Roosevelt, while no president has been legitimate since the 16th amendment was passed in 1871 under Ulysses S. Grant.

[soothsayer]

1. I seriously doubt it, but wouldn't hurt to have abundant police around

And nat guard. I mean, the creepy repugs keep calling for the fencing around the Capitol to be removed and the national guard to leave, so... double up!

[TimeToGo]

53. That's what I thought

I just don't see it happening. HOWEVER, they should absolutely be ready for it.

[lagomorph777]

74. Bring the Guard back, and mow them down.

[Squinch]

2. They better fucking prepare for it this time.

[moose65]

23. They will

Biden is president this time around, so you better believe that place will be prepared!

[Ray Bruns]

44. There are still 5000 guardsman still in Washington DC

I don't think they are planning leaving anytime soo.

[dchill]

68. For sure they won't be told to stand down.

[UpInArms]

3. I hope they are met with 50,000 guardsmen

and arrested en masse

[WinstonSmith4740]

24. I've never, ever felt this way.

And it dismays me no end that I feel like this now. But arrested? Fuck that...they were seditionists in January, and they'll be seditionists in March. Shoot them. After a couple go down screaming, the rest will run like the cowards they are.

[UpInArms]

27. Okay

Shoot the ones in the lead, kettle and arrest the rest

[Gato Moteado]

30. they are traitors and should be napalmed

i'm sure the military still has plenty of that stuff in stock from the 60s

[jmowreader]

125. It violates the Geneva Convention to use it on people

We got around that by bombing foliage and if anyone was under it...oh well.

My recommendation is to get some National Guard Apache units carrying 2.75-inch rocket pods up around the Capitol. If Trump’s Minions attempt to storm the Capitol again, Apaches will solve that shit in a hurry.

[Riverman100]

50. yep

shoot the traitors

[Traildogbob]

51. I am with you

Hate to say it but every time I see the footage of those screaming lunatics, I think live ammo and let em see what being shot back at us like. As a veteran, my blood boils at the images we keep having to see. That hate And rage on their mugs at America was more intense than any enemy abroad I have seen. Looks like the rage in the faces of terrorist extremist in the Middle East after we kill their families, for oil.
Time to liberate America from tyranistic religious extremist here. One of their Messiahs got called back to hell yesterday. His job was accomplished, now Satan wants him by his side to gloat.

[WinstonSmith4740]

111. I can only imagine the frustration.

When real vets like you watch those wanna be tough guys parade around in camo, playing soldier. And even worse, actual vets who bought into this. Can't remember where I saw it, but someone had written that these guys were too cowardly and stupid to be soldiers or cops, so they do this instead.

[Traildogbob]

113. I served with very many

And not all were angels. Many racist, but I can not remember one that would attack our capital and plan on assassinating the upper hierarchy to leave one idiot as king. These vets are shameful and a disgusting representation. They all need to be stripped of honorable discharge and lose all benefits.

[colorado_ufo]

58. The only thing that made the mob back down

was when the woman was shot trying to get through the broken window. Protection is protection. If these jerks attacked police in any municipality with tasers, clubs, bear spray, and more, they would have been shot and/or immediately arrested.

If they try this again, they should be surrounded by National Guard troops and herded into a confined area. Then every last one of them should be arrested and charged with insurrection and sedition and thrown into jail without bond, in D.C., until trial. One phone call each.

[Escurumbele]

59. I think a lot of us think about it, and it may be necessary to discourage the rest

These traitors are never going to learn, they are all brainwashed by an invisible leader called QAnon...How someone can take over so many people while no one knowing who it is must be studied, this is a phenomenon that I think is unprecedented and maybe the result of so many people brainwashed by social media, smartphones, and lets face it, the internet.

Things need to change drastically in our country.

[AZ8theist]

79. Here's what I think...

[liberalgunwilltravel]

100. WWG1WGS

Where we go one, we go stupid!

[AZ8theist]

101. Ok, I'm stealing that from you. No credit, tough!!!

[Jetheels]

90. I've walked by the Capitol a few times on visits to D.C. One thing that sticks out in my mind

is the always stationed snipers on the roof, in various places. Where the fuc! were they on January 6th?

[reACTIONary]

121. I've seen that at the White House...

... don't recall it at the capital.

[maxrandb]

89. I hope they are met with 500,000 sane Americans

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Something tells me that they won't experience the same results that they got the 1st time. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

5. An insurrection

should be met with sufficient force to quell the insurrection. It's not a pretty thought. But neither is the insurrection.

[LSparkle]

6. Voldemort's hotel has jacked up rates

Around that date. They’re expecting a crowd.

[FakeNoose]

83. Maybe so, but he won't be there

When the ChumpHumpers find out he's not coming, there will be way less enthusiasm.
I mean, what would be the point? They already know they'd get arrested, maybe even shot at.

[brewens]

7. A Trumper I know posted "If Trump would have incited anything, that place would have been

flattened by hundreds of thousands." Yeah right. If so they missed their chance. I'm guessing any further organized effort would be quickly sniffed out and acted on. They wouldn't get anywhere near DC. I'm against excessive surveillance of Americans, but that doesn't include domestic terrorists. I hope the FBI and NSA are up their butts 24/7.

[soothsayer]

75. The fact that it failed proves drumpf was behind it

Everything he touches dies.

[AZ8theist]

80. Great point. And 100% correct.

If Doturd didn't inherit/steal $400M from his father, right now he'd be hawking timeshares on a Brooklyn street corner...

[orangecrush]

116. This

[johnp3907]

8. Hope it goes something like this:

[Traildogbob]

55. What the hell!!!!

Freaky as f**k, but... I could not stop watching, and laughing visualizing red hats and Trump garb.
Thank you. The strangely made my day.

[johnp3907]

66. Leave the baby at home!

[littlemissmartypants]

120. The full film, judged at the Brussels World's Fair, 1958, to be the greatest film of all time. nt

Battleship Potemkin, 1925, English subtitles

[Traildogbob]

122. Thank you

Gotta check this out.

[littlemissmartypants]

123. You bet. ❤ nt

[colsohlibgal]

9. Go For It

I think it’s fair to think they will be met with massively more resistance with instructions to do what they need to do to protect the Capitol.

[Oldem]

10. I was surprised there weren't more shots fired on 1/6. This time

I'm afraid there might be.

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. Given the events of 1/6,

Rioters ought to be fully aware of the LEA resistance that they'll meet this time around. If they violate laws, they should be met with stiff consequences. We should also fully expect that rioters will be armed, and that Capitol police and other LEA will have to use their own resources to preserve the peace. If that requires the legitimate use of firearms, then so be it. We shouldn't be coddling fascists who are ready and eager to shoot at anyone in their way. Fascists are not peaceful.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

11. And then the risen from the dead president will call down the flying saucers that will

take them all away to the alt universe they so desparately want to live in.

If I believe hard enough that it willl happen - maybe it will?

[Texin]

71. Why not? It's how the Q'ers think.

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Excellent! Now THIS time have the police cordon them off and "kettle" them right into

custody. Sort out the ones that had previously stormed the Capitol, but that the police were not able to arrest from Jan 6th.

[marie999]

14. If they say that no president has been legitimate since the 16th Amendment,

how can Trump come back as president since he is not legitimate?

[Harker]

20. Applying logic is futile.

You get points for trying, though.

[bottomofthehill]

49. What about St Ronnie of The Airport

[Squinch]

85. Expecting logic from republiQans is like expecting logic from ducks. Just don't do it.

[Dustlawyer]

15. They will not show up en mass again.

Seeing the other traitors being hunted down will have that effect. The die hards may show but the professionals behind Proud Boys etc., know it will not be possible to breach it this time.

[DENVERPOPS]

72. They have already said

they will be going after the State's Capitols, starting with the states that have dem governors.......

Of course, it all depends on who's side the police are on.

We had a confrontation last year here in Denver. Black lives matter demonstrators, just standing in protest, were brutally attacked by the DPD. The City of Denver is going to be paying out millions and millions over their actions. The cops were intentionally firing paint gun balls at the demonstrator's faces.....I understand the DOJ?/FBI? has come in to investigate it also.....
Not all cops are bad by any means, but the Departments across the nation are loaded with bad racist individuals......

Denver has been paying out millions for years for Police Brutality, or Extreme un-justified Force. Some day the City Council will get tired of paying out for all these cases, and do something about cleaning house of the bad apples before they are overwhelmed with these lawsuits draining the funds of the City of Denver.......

[Dustlawyer]

104. I agree but was not clear, I don't think they will try to storm the U.S. Capitol.

The military and law enforcement are heavily RW. Years ago I did pro bono work for a police group. I was the only known Democrat at their convention. Gov. Rick Perry spoke at one convention and later Gov. Abbott. The cops liked me due to my work and they learned not to debate me on politics real quick. The sad thing was I would have individual cops come up to me privately, many times, and whisper that they voted for Democrats but if it was found out they would be in both physical jeopardy and lose their job. This happened A LOT!

[DENVERPOPS]

117. It is the same thing

with Firefighters and Paramedics. And judging from friends who were in the Military or had been in the Military...same thing.

[LaMouffette]

16. Let's just ask George Soros to summon up his Jewish space lasers to take out the QAnoners!

[pandr32]

17. Why would they?

Supporters of the former guy already found he didn't "go with them" as he said he would last time and he left them high and dry without paying legal costs or pardoning them.
Well, he did say he loved them, so there's that.

[Harker]

21. A lot of former guys will say, "I love you." n/t

[George II]

18. BIDEN is President now, he'll make sure the National Guard are in place. Do they still use....

...bayonets?

[DENVERPOPS]

33. We think alike

that was my thought exactly. Those chicken shits are really brave with police who have been stripped of anything to defend themselves.
Let's have a do-over with battle dressed guard members with fixed bayonets.

I think that if the Capitol police had started dropping the rioters as they came thru the windows and doors, the crowd behind them would have cherried out and run like hell. If any had gotten near Pence, the secret service would have dropped them on the spot....

[oldsoftie]

36. I've said your last paragraph all along. And I believe it would've gone that way.

[DENVERPOPS]

86. March 4th at the Capitol could be fake

and a way of luring each states National Guard away from the states, so they can go after the state's capitols with each states National Guards sitting in D.C.

[oldsoftie]

96. Nah. There's 1/2 a million Guard members. DC doesnt need more than a few thousand.

And the idiots arent that organized. I think the GA State Patrol could hold off the nut cases down here.
And there's no way they could be coordinating something like that and the Feds not know it.

[luvtheGWN]

63. Time to get the bayonets out of storage...

...and sharpen the tips.

[NickB79]

107. The British still did bayonet charges in Iraq in 2004

With lethal effect.

https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/these-british-troops-launched-a-proper-angry-bayonet-charge-during-the-iraq-war/

[jmowreader]

126. They do.

But a big box of tear gas powder in the back of a Black Hawk would be a better start. Or maybe hire a crop duster to overfly the insurrectionists and spray them with butyl mercaptan. (John Clark’s Ignition! describes this chemical as having the aroma of an angry skunk.)

[LiberalFighter]

19. I wonder how many snipers will be ready for them?

[dlk]

22. It's doubtful there will be a stand-down order this time around

There’s a new sheriff in town.

[TNNurse]

25. There are those who actually believe that he will become

president on March 4. That is a dangerous level of ignorance.

There needs to be preparations to control and remove them.

[Lucky Luciano]

26. Machine guns locked and very loaded this time I hope.

[oldsoftie]

29. THANK YOU. Jan 6th would've never progressed if they'd popped the 1st 5-6 thru the doors.

As the kids say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes

[Ford_Prefect]

28. I'd like to see an advertising campaign on Billboards and other media that tells them not to bother.

"We know you're angry, we know you're committed and we know you don't believe us. We're not going to allow this again. We are ready for you. You will be arrested and you will NOT be allowed into the Capitol. Go home while you can and complain to your people in congress. That's what American patriots have done for over 200 years."

Of course I am assuming they read anything not on their phones.

[oldsoftie]

34. Not a bad idea. nt

[DENVERPOPS]

64. Screw that

post signs around buildings: Anyone crossing this line will be dropped on sight........game over

I would imagine that that is the case with the white house if you are armed, and if you climb the fence and start running towards the white house.
It's just too frikking bad some didn't rush the Secret Service guarding Pence.......Now THAT would have been a video to watch.
The firepower the SS has slung on their shoulders, under their jackets is scary.......ever wonder why the SS never buttons the front of their jackets/?????????

[Bayard]

31. Is the National Guard still there?

After last time, they're probably spoiling for a fight.

[Aviation Pro]

38. So are the Capitol Police

Bet a lot of eyes opened on the 6th after the 'patriots' eschewed their bullshit 'Blue Lives Matter' and murdered a couple of LEOs (I count the suicides).

[Ray Bruns]

45. Yes. About 5000 still there.

[Gato Moteado]

32. i wonder if trump has told them he'll be there with them....

...like he did on the 6th.

[NCjack]

57. Bunker boy Donnie will be in hiding, with a lackey who will tweet for him.

[Gato Moteado]

61. exactly like on the 6th when he promised his cult that he would be there with them

[keithbvadu2]

35. How many cops do you want to kill this next time?

How many cops do you want to kill this next time?

"Blue Lives Matter' was just an empty slogan, wasn't it?

[robleb]

37. All of this in on

the delusional and cowardly Repugs.

[Marthe48]

39. wish they'd shut up

impeached criminal lost. He is probably gloating over the harm to people in Tx. He cares as little for his supporters as he does any other human, which is nothing.

I've been doing a zoom silver sneakers class. We have a group messenger set up for notices, and chit chat. My friend who leads the class got her 1st vaccine yesterday, and was offering advice to members of the class where to get them. The one woman hasn't been able to get a vaccine, and blames Biden. I had already mentioned the steps Pres. Biden is taking, and I didn't say anything else to her. Too bad she can't exercise her brain.

[AverageOldGuy]

40. I really think they will be back on March 4

Last edited Thu Feb 18, 2021, 04:20 PM - Edit history (1)

Maybe not in the numbers as on Jan 6, maybe not as well-armed . . . . however . . .

A local businessman in my rural VA county about 2.5 hours out of DC rented a bus on Jan 6, took 40 people, including a retired deputy sheriff and one local "activist" along with 38 other deluded locals.

I've heard that he has rented two 12-passenger vans for March 4.

[Lucky Luciano]

78. Send his name to the FBI. At least get him in a no-fly list.

[GopherGal]

118. I think they will

but there won't be any of that "just here for Short-Fingered Vulgarian's rally" nonsense. There's no deniability anymore. If they show up this time, they're there to stir up trouble.

That'll likely cull out the non-fanatics (or the lesser fanatics). So I expect lower numbers, but more concentrated crazy.

[Dr. T]

41. The Republiqans must be ecstatic

to get a second bite at the apple. If they didn't get arrested the first time, here's their second chance.

[ironman99]

42. So no legitimate president since 1871

If, as the MAGAts believe, that no president elected since 1871 is legitimate, why the hell are they fighting so hard to keep tRump in the White House? Wasn't his election illegitimate as well???????

The logic is extremely weak in these ones!!!!

[judesedit]

43. This time we don't have a traitor in office to welcome them

Hope they find that out quickly and neatly, in whatever way works.

[33taw]

46. They'll probably go to NY Federal Hall where Washington was inaugurated.

[LudwigPastorius]

47. Deploy the Soylent Green riot control Scoops.

If that doesn't work, send in Apache helicopters with chain guns.

[roamer65]

108. IT'S PEOPLE!

[LudwigPastorius]

119. Except in the Trumpists' case, they aren't revolting against lack of food.

...they're just plain revolting. ...deplorable & seditious too.

[Auggie]

48. Not concerned about the U.S. Capitol. But state capitols and private residences

of our representatives, senators and governors are worrisome.

[mdbl]

52. I hope Trump will be on the lead horse

waving his stupid ass flag. I know, it's just a pipe dream. He's too big of a coward.

[usaf-vet]

54. If they breach the building how about hundreds of immediate arrests WITH ZIP ties then.....

..... straight to detention center awaiting hearing dates. Treat them just like they (Maga) have treated people seeking asylum on our southern borders.

[niyad]

56. 16th amendment 1909, not 1871) is about income tax. 1871 was the amended 1807 Insurrection act. They

They are going to commit insurrection and don't even know which laws they are supposedly dying to protect?? Am I reading this correctly? Do I need more caffeine?? Or is alcohol indicated??

[Scalded Nun]

60. Assuming they show up...drop them as soon as they start moving on the Capitol.

I am so sick of their treasonous/seditionist shit.

[ancianita]

62. I'm just wondering what the congressional Qculters will do on March 4. They should be watched

constantly on the runup.

[BobTheSubgenius]

65. You know what my life is missing?

A criminal record, so I'm going to DC!

Oh...and the scorn of most of the world. Solid case for going and doing....whatever.

[still_one]

67. If they are stupid enough to do it, perhaps they can accommodate them and give them a

chance to join limbaugh

[Mr. Evil]

69. Anyone remember the term 'enemy combatants?'

That's exactly what they are and should be treated as such.

[ZenDem]

70. It's a good thing they have Gab and Parler...

...so they can make big plans and not alert the FBI.

There's a joke of social site in AZ called Freedom Lake. I'm sure that one is inaccessible to those pesky agents, as well.

I don't think we'll be taken off guard, this time. We have a President, now.

[world wide wally]

73. Why do I think they won't show up this time?

Something to do with the National Guard being ready for them maybe?

[Clearly fogged in]

94. That, and this

January 6th was for the big dogs, the organizers and the mouthpieces with the resources to travel and comfortably stay in the area. Sure, they were outnumbered by the true believers who also went - the ones who made made the mistakes turning a planned insurrection into a mob scene and spoiling their plans. For the next event the forces behind the scene, the moneymen, will keep their distance. They will still motivate followers, but this time they won't be openly bankrolling things. It's rather odd that those who footed the bills for busses and costs in January aren't the ones we're seeing rounded up and charged.

[sakabatou]

76. Well then, have thousands of guards ready

With tear gas and rubber bullets.

[IronLionZion]

77. They should advertise their plans on social media

and find out the hard way that the current Presidential administration might not choose a "do nothing" approach like the last one.

[Major Nikon]

81. Just when you think the nuts can't get any nuttier

[Jon King]

82. Nah, they had their 15 minutes, they won't do a thing.....

Nothing but BS, they will do absolutely nothing now that the Capitol is prepared. They got lucky that Trump gathered them and had law enforcement stand down. These cowards will never try anything again when law enforcement is ready.

[Oscarthegreat]

84. Hopefully it won't happen

But if it actually does happens, treat it like an insurrection and do what would be done if a Jihadist terrorist group attacked the US Capitol, and we all know how that kind of attack would be defended.

[sandensea]

87. Let'em try it!

If nothing else, it'll be a good way for the FBI to get more of the worms out of the woodwork.

[rockfordfile]

88. Let the traitors try. See what happens to them

[Paladin]

91. If it happens, I want D.C. law enforcement well-armed.

Well-armed, with authorization to shoot to kill. Way past time to give the fascists a wake-up call.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

92. as we used to say in the Marine Corps

tell the troops to lock and load...............

[JohnnyRingo]

93. Don't they have to get a permit for an insurrection?

hahaha

I bet they'll suddenly love those face masks.... and dark glasses. No selfies.

[jaxexpat]

95. Constitutional scholars they're not. Lemmings they are.

[BlueIdaho]

97. Shoot to kill.

If past is prologue, this will not be a “peaceful protest.” They will come armed. This insurrection needs to be dispatched with extreme prejudice. We need to leave no doubt that if you attack America you will pay the price.

[orangecrush]

115. This.

[hadEnuf]

98. If this happens again the only response to these terrorists should be "open fire".

[Nitram]

99. The'll be ready for them this time, but I rather doubt they will follow through.

They're all cowards at heart.

[Joinfortmill]

102. WTF?

We need to get to the head if this QANON monster and cut it off.

[matt819]

103. This is only a week away

I'd like to see a statement from the WH early next week spelling out precisely what the security situation will be in DC generally and at the Capitol and WH specifically. Which law enforcement agencies? Which National Guard units? Who has overall operational control?
And legal basis for each entity participating?

Further, this should include which law enforcement agency will be responsible for arresting and processing those suspected of or engaging in criminal activity. And measures being taken to ensure that whichever agency has this responsibility has the capacity to process x number of lawbreakers and can call on y agencies for support.

Specific "rules of engagement," use of lethal weapons (or not).

You know. Behave like a normal president.

Partly related to this, I'd like to see all fencing taken down from around the White House. You know. Like a normal country.

[paleotn]

105. Fine. Shoot them down like dogs.

[dalton99a]

106. Kill them dead, please

[Hassler]

109. In QOP world, Ammon Bundy is a deep thinker.

[C Moon]

110. QAnon reminds me of this scene from Life of Brian...

[Progressive Jones]

112. If they attempt this, I hope many are killed or severely injured. nt

[orangecrush]

114. Their reception

Will be a beautiful thing to watch!

[twodogsbarking]
