As Nero Danced posted:I wonder what will happen if he is barred from from holding office in the future, but he runs in 2024 anyways. I don't think you can be barred from holding office, if you are elected it is what it is - similar to security clearances. He may be barred from voting or owning a gun, but could still be elected. No idea what happens if you're elected to a federal position while in a state prison, courts probably haven't tested that one.

Trump Announced He Withdrew The Nomination Of Chad Wolf To Run DHS After He'd Criticized The Capitol Riotquote:White House officials said the withdrawal, taking place two weeks before the end of Trump's term, was not connected to Wolf's statement. On one hand, yeah loving right. On the other hand,  get hosed Chad Wolf.

I assume her picture is up in the part of the building I'm never in as well? I assume if you work at a federal office, I assume its the typical Dear Leader, Pence, and offset photo of Chao on whatever your equivalent of a quarterdeck is. Locally it was just governor, state secretary and deputy secretary if I recall correctly.

And those loving turds and like "yeah! my only charge is to protect congress, but instead let's go murder them all and saw their heads off like you used to see on al jazeera! But don't touch hawley and cruz, they are our buddies!" Traitors.

I rarely agree with police unions, but other than the rando chudfuck cops on the front line, I think this is what basically happened. https://twitter.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1347304240268660737 https://twitter.com/JonLemire/status/1347311706196873218 Capitol Police leadership decided to take a hands-off, they won't do anything, they're just venting online approach.

Like, that story is plausible enough to shelter the individual cops, hopefully more than just the 3 on top are axed tho.

RFC2324 posted:I mostly agree with you(especially in light of the video of the officer waving people in saying this way) but they really couldn't have resisted if leadership hadn't unlocked the armory and approved enough people to do something. Yeah it's honestly irrelevant how much the individual cops agreed with the rioters (And doubtless there are countless among them). What matters is that their leadership failed to anything to account for the possibility things might get ugly—which ultimately put both their own officers and the people they were sworn to protect in terrible danger.

Terrible and late double post, but a comparison that just occurred to me is Eisenhower's use of the Arkansas National Guard and the 101st Airborne in protecting the Little Rock Nine. There were doubtlessly countless segregationists among them, but that didn't matter because they were deployed in enough force to prevent violence and were disciplined enough to follow orders. If CPD leadership does their job and takes the threat seriously, there's enough men and equipment in place to potentially deter a standoff from occurring at all, and it wouldn't matter how many officers are secretly fascists themselves (though this is obviously also a major issue). Instead, they got loving rolled and were spectacularly lucky that the rioters weren't even slightly more organized or determined than they were.

My general thought is that Capitol Police aren't very Online, so they had no idea that yep, the chudfucks really are going to show up, and they really are going to charge the building, and they really are going to have weapons. Police leadership was possibly sympathetic to the bullshit viewpoint that chuds "back the blue" and wouldn't do anything, so there was no need to have the resources on standby. It would just be a typical DC protest, relatively self-policing, without a whole lot of need for police. A lot like how there are always huge protests outside the Supreme Court, but the crowd never outright rushes the Supreme Court. So then add to that the sympathetic individual cops that were either sitting around doing nothing, or actively waiving people in, or impotently manning barricades that were just shoved away. By that point, the crowd was at the Capitol steps, containment was completely lost, and the police went "uh oops they're rushing the place now what". That lead to all the cops going into crisis "get VIPs locked down and the gently caress out", leaving even fewer cops to deal with the rush. So I'm guessing I'm saying like 90% leadership's fault for not realizing the threat was obvious weeks ago, then 10% the line-officers for being sympathetic. During the mop-up, there was even a cop saying "sure, now you like us" to a journalist. I just think the original sin was leadership not thinking the threat was real. Basically, what ace said above.

It was on purpose, all the other protests they go up against are organized online, why is this one suddenly different? It wasn't that they didn't think it was a serious threat, its more they didn't care.

It wasn't that they didn't think it was a serious threat, its more they didn't care. My wife pointed out to me yesterday that this is obvious in light of America being a white supremacist nation. White people(and police) don't see other white people as threats, even against available evidence. Even when an armed mob of them are coming down the street, they aren't thinking they are rioters or terrorists, just protestors. Hence the coverage yesterday taking forever to label them anything other than protestors.
