Okay, so:

1. Between Bellingcat's report this week and the pictures from Jan 6 we know that organized violent groups are operating within the larger MAGA protests.

2. These groups see January 6th as a victory - it shows they can succeed in mobilizing big groups of people and overwhelming security services and get some big propaganda wins.

3. There's a scheduled "Stand up for liberty armed march" on January 17th intended to take place at the US Capitol and at all 50 statehouses in the US.

Somebody convince me that I'm jumping at shadows when I look at this and see a worst-case scenario possibility where militias try to kick off coordinated armed takeovers. I expect most people in the crowds won't show up planning for this, but it only takes one or two people to escalate and then a lot of the crowd will go along.

My optimistic view is that you generally only get one shot at the title. A lot of likely-sympathetic cops just got overrun by a bunch of unarmed chuds with blue lives matter flags that they used to beat the cops with. I don't think the planners in all the states are going to be treating the armed variety chuds with the "well, they were peaceful last time" treatment.

I thought his quote was more or less saying "hey, why don't we fix the overall problem and throw bajillions at vaccines first", not NO CHECKS EVER like Republicans basically are.

Manchin's still a gently caress though.

I’d like to think so but since some cops are on video verbally appreciating what the armed white mobs are doing in previous engagements it’s not guaranteed.

The “can’t get a fair trial here because of all the press, let’s go next town over” thing works when it shouldn’t sometimes but I’m not sure where they could take this one to find a jury pool that hadn’t heard about it.

Yeah one one hand they're not exactly in sympathetic jury territory but on the other hand I presume their lawyers are well aware of that

Is there any sort of mechanism to yank the security clearances of anyone getting into Q stuff? They're clearly a threat to national security and it's not like their involvement is hard to find.

Absolutely. Every base has people for this...it has to be reported to the same person/office you'd talk to if you were going on personal foreign travel (if you have a higher clearance) or to a troublesome country otherwise. Any unit security manager (SSO, GSSO, etc) has the contact info.

Arguably (because I don't have a list of qualifying groups) if you have a clearance you are obligated to report them. Just like if you knew someone had traveled without reporting it, married a foreign national, etc. Same process, same office. They investigate it and deal with it.
