I think it will turn out to be mostly House Reps...

...like my scumbag of a congressman.

Reps. Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs credited in video with organizing Trump crowd in DC on day of riot

Seize the phones of all arrested protesters and see who sent them directions, sketches or schematics of the offices. How the f*ck did they know how to find Clyburn's office, and some of the other hard-to-find offices?

Haha. Can you believe it? We've got a Supreme Court Justice who

has a conflict of interest over cases involving overthrowing our government?

Unbelievable times, my dearest DU friends.

There is circumstantial evidence, everywhere now, that this insurrection

was seeded at the highest levels of state and federal government.

We need a 9/11 Commission style deep dive into this travesty.

If we don't punish this to the extreme, we are suicidally stupid.

Disgusting people. Here's an article about Susan Block being driven to resign from a board:

"For all we know, it was filled with cans of spray paint."

My brother in law was a cop, and in a situation like that they don't have time to play guessing games. Especially if your verbal commands are ignored and that person is moving in your direction.

But it's good to ask questions. I don't see anything wrong with what you're asking. I have questions too.

What people are/were saying is that she suddenly came through a

broken window with a duffel bag, surprising the officers (who had no idea what her intentions were or what the duffel bag was), but I'm not sure now because I've heard different stories. I've subsequently heard they repeatedly issued verbal warnings which were ignored.

It happens very fast. Not that you'd want to see it but if you do there's video floating around. You can see how hard it is to tell what happens at the very beginning of the incident.

Yeah, I admit I got this one dead wrong.

The more I read about her, the less sympathy I have for her.

Also, some of the eyewitness reports circulating earlier in the day were not completely correct.

She wasn't an innocent "girl" shoved through the broken window with a duffel bag. She was about 34 years old and she was there because she wanted to be and was all in for Trump, and an obnoxious scumbag with a rap sheet.

Same here. I really got this one wrong.

The more I learn about her, any shred of sympathy I had vanished.

The first two eye witness statements I read turned out to be wrong (or at least not the complete story).

But I never thought the shooting was unjustified. What were the police supposed to do?

Ron Johnson: Foley and Lardner. They are just in the news today

on another thread. One of their lawyers "resigned" (or was shown the door) for being on the phone call with Trump.

Cleta Mitchell Out At Foley & Lardner After Troubling Donald Trump Call

Heh. Small world.

I don't understand people like her either, but there sure are a lot of them.

People who have enough money to live comfortably, or much more than just enough to live comfortably, who constantly need and want more--I've never understood it. Instead of just enjoying their good fortune and comfort in life, and maybe doing some good for others, they actually expend a ton of energy generating hatred and anxiety in other people, just to acquire more and more.

Some of those people have a "grand vision" of how they want the country or the planet to be that they are trying to implement (like the Christian Nationalists/Accelerationists/Racists), but Loeffler doesn't strike me as a "visionary."
