The codes go to the secretary of defense so really it’s up to them...


It’s also possible everything published about US nuclear codes is wrong.

Senate is already voting on the objection for Pennsylvania, no one (or not many) felt like making a speech this time around.

Most of them blew their load on the Arizona objection so they got nothing for Pennsylvania.

e: Senate voted down the objection, so it's over. What states are left to object to, Wisconsin and what else?

Pence has his own Football. There's one near/with POTUS at all times, and there's one near/with VPOTUS at all times. There's also a floater/replacement at the White House. There are three in total. The E-4Bs are airborne executive command posts. This differs slightly from the E-6, which are airborne strategic military command posts.

As for the E-4Bs (shows up as B742 with callsigns) and E-6s (just shows up as E6 with callsigns), you can find them using ADS-B Exchange, just use the "U" filter up top to filter out commercial/general aviation traffic: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

Fair warning, watching this thing's a bit like owning fish - it can get a bit too interesting at times and lead to a lot of lost time.

I was talking to a dude I know, he's on the force somewhere (and a commie so I won't doxx him) - he said there was absolutely zero way the local police force could to anything practically about the Nazis, just plain not possible.

To be more charitable to CPD than they deserve, I can understand some of the hesitation on their part not to break out the heavy-handed riot tactics such as tear gas or rubber bullets, as I'd imagine there was a legitimate fear the large and heavily armed crowd would start shooting back—and that would have made today far, far worse than it ended up being. And of course, the federal presence of troops and equipment was effectively non-existent, and intentionally so.

...But with that being said, it's still an utter indictment of CPD's leadership that they didn't take the threat to the capitol seriously and make contingency plans. It didn't take a goddamn cassandra to see something like this was possible, and even if federal resources were intentionally unavailable they still could have undertaken other measures to get the bodies and equipment they needed to prevent this from happening. Heads need to roll today for this, or otherwise this is just gonna happen again and it may end up being even worse the second time around.

I don't really care so much about what they did outside so much, but when they let these terrorist motherfuckers run around INSIDE the building with the senate and house and VP having to hide for their lives... Man, gently caress that. You try to seize the capitol building, those cops better run those mags dry before anyone makes it 10 feet inside.

And then you better fight to your dying breathe. That's the entire legislative arm of the government for fucks sake, that's the end game right there.

Surprised Trump didn't post this before Twitter gave him a time out.

e: The more I think about it the worse I feel. This was an unorganized mass movement. Imagine if it was done with some planning. Turns out all you need to overthrow the government is to get the capitol police to move out of the way for you. We got lucky, all they did was an unguided free tour of the building. Next time someone's going to be leading the crowd with a list of goals. Fascism now has more than a foothold in our political discourse and it's not going away any time soon, even if Trump disappeared tomorrow.

They actually do familiarization landings at civilian airports with runways long enough to accommodate them all over the country, the common thread usually being an ANG presence at the airport. They'll also run racetrack patterns doing touch-and-gos. I watched a Mercury do this at Harrisburg PA's airport for a good 30 minutes once, and they seem to like to do it at Fairchild AFB because it's nice open air space and the locals are used to four engined KC-135s coming and going at all hours of the night and day.

Also, the E-6 is more than just a Doomsday Plane, it's also rarely used much like a flying/forward-operating NMCC.

I mean, if ever there were justification for levying the full weight of the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of force, it's against seditious fascists who stormed the Capitol.

Meanwhile, fascists in the House nearly started a fist fight after bellyaching about being called liars.

Authorities don’t need to come down like the hammer of god on each and every person who was in the vicinity of the capital, but they do need to find out what the hell was going on.

They were seemingly blind going into this and now they are treating it like “thanks for visiting the district. We hope you enjoyed you stay. Come again soon!”

At the very least they need to arrest people who absconded with government property and/or brandished weapons. Those aren’t the kind of things that can be reasonably followed up on later. Catch them with the goods.
