We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
They thought the rioters were all talk and posed no threat because they're White.
Even the white surpremacists are tired of the media and politicians trying to call what they were doing a protest. This is why its been able to get as bad as it is. They kept toning down and softening their message and intent at every step for years. Now you got people acting surprised that this shit was going to happen because there was a concerted political effort to hide it.
Major news sites should be removing paywalls in this time of crisis so information, real information, can flow, instead of being locked behind money requests while the fascism supporting organizations spread their seditionist bullshit freely with no barrier
They all talk about intelligence failure, but if those dickheads wouldn't have got into congress if the cops didn't let them in, even with their shitty intel.
We're gonna keep dancing around this issue, but I think it's by far the most important point.
Because you can arrest all the q-anon people that you want, but if you have a police force who is that friendly with white supremacist and fascists, you gonna get the same effort from them next time.

Yes, please this. It'll be like the ending of FF7 with the world getting repaired.
I can read the whole article just fine, although it's the only WaPo article I've read, so I probably haven't hit whatever "free article" limit they have
Reports like this is why I'm OK with House holding onto impeachment articles until we are a bit deeper into Biden's term. Not only will it give time to focus on the confirmations, covid relief, ect.. but it will also give time for the results of some investigations to become known. I have no doubt that as this unfolds it's going to expose Trump and some members of the GOP even futher.
White people always think this shit. Conservative white people in particular are among the weakest, most limp-dick people in America.
I imagine the FBI produces tons of reports constantly. It's a matter of whether the reports receive real attention from those basing decisions off them. That will be what an investigation digs at - to see if there was intentional downplaying, sabotage, institutional racism, etc.
I don't think they commonly produce reports that say, "We have a mountain of evidence that these specific people are going to attack the United States Capital at this specific time".
Probably not. But if it was intentionally ignored or downplayed by those above is the question.
We should be thanking our lucky stars that these swine are collective too fucking stupid to effectively orchestrate a full-scale assault like is being threatened for the coming weeks. And they leave huge paper trails, too. Hopefully the FBI takes these threats seriously now and starts making arrests at rally points before these hogs even make it to DC.
You'd have to be a fucking idiot to think this wasn't a possibility, so anyone claiming "they didn't have an inkling to maybe be prepared for something like this" is a disingenuous ass.
And...
The Capitol Police had a plan in case counter-protesters showed up - to form a defensive line between the two - but I haven't found info on any contingency plans for MAGA side of the equation. Figures.

Even further indication that its best to not even show up to this shit to counter protest, just let them hang themselves. Don't even be there to give them an out to shift the blame else where. They're already throwing the ones that got caught under the bus and calling them antifa as it is and it gained NO traction because there was no one else there.
Law enforcement just learning that angry people in large groups cause problems? Even if they're white?
The Trump administration also defunded programs aimed at reducing the spread of white supremacy in many different ways.
This was all intentional.
