Evidence of them trying to do a decap attack of people in the President line of succession.

I get what they're doing, but I feel at this point the fact she is speaker and in line for succession is secondary to the years and years of GOP propaganda going "NANCY PELOSI IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS! AND MAKE YOU GIVE ALL YOUR MONEY TO MEXICANS". Her being not targeted specifically would be novel.

I just got off the phone with the IRS because they sent me a letter saying all of the $600 stimulus was being used to pay my 2007 taxes. Which I looked up and they owed me $30 that year. I was then told that they didn't have any record of any debt or sending me any such letter and that I should mail them a physical copy of the letter (they wanted a fax, of course, and refused an emailed copy) to verify its' authenticity or some bullshit. Oh, did I mention that I never got the $1200 stimulus either? I get to join the filing for a tax credit club, too, apparently.

Fortunately it's not a matter of life and death for me, but poo poo is ultra hosed and I sympathize. It infuriates me how many people in worse situations must be getting screwed over by all this.

Contact your congressfucker's office. They can sometimes put the screws to the IRS to get you money owed you quicker.

When the argument being made is that "Donald Trump incited a crowd to insurrection in an attempt to orchestrate a coup d'état" then the insurrection incited by Donald Trump going after the Speaker of the House is 100% relevant.

Its not bothsides, its that if you are a republican, you can rape and kill another Republican's mother in front of them, and they will demand that you face no consequences because it was clearly an antifa plot.

Has anything come of the the really lovely response of capitol police? Have heads rolled? I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be fired for a cyber security breach, but I'm fairly certain I would be fired for seeing a crap ton of evidence that someone was gonna attempt an attack and not prepped for it.

Thanks, that explains that.


edit: That's pretty neat, the chambers have emergency gear stashed under the seats. That's actually a really good idea.

The Capitol Police is more or less a black box by design, they're the best-funded (direct by congress) and least accountable police department in the whole county, and that's saying something.

They still haven't briefed anyone publically. The Chief resigned (at Pelosi's insistence) on January 7th.

Nah, the chief resigned and now they’re clamoring for a permanent security wall around the Capitol and Congressional office buildings. Which they’ll almost certainly get. Beyond that nothing will happen #backtheblue

I've been trying to ID it. It would help if I was sure what force- Secret Service uses P90s, which would fit the visual.

I love that old pic when someone took as shot at Ronnie for Jodie, where the Secret Service dude busted the Uzi out of the briefcase.

It's funny you mention the Uzi, because they image popped right into my head as soon as I started thinking of it. I thought the Secret Service stopped using P90s at some point. I was thinking it might be a MP5/MP7 or UMP, but it seems far more compact, so perhaps it was a P90. The fact that were even discussing this drives home just how dire things were, because you generally never see those types of firearms, because they'd be concealed under their jackets in normal circumstances.
