Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) claims Congress members gave 'reconnaissance' tours day before Capitol raid
- Thread starter Sho_Nuff82

Of course it's an attempted coup.
For a coup to work you need to have the armed insurrection with political hostages, allowing them to halt the legal handover to the new president indefinitely, then you need people that identify themselves as loyalists to the leader (the politicians perpetuating the 'stop the steal' lie) that will state that the other political party is treasonous. Then you make examples of the people that are disloyal (politicians that are willing to admit that Biden won the election) by jailing them or worse. Anyone that doesn't state their absolute loyalty at that point is then implicated as being in on the plot against the leader attempting the coup, and they are jailed or executed for treason.
After that democracy is out of the picture forever.
If you haven't seen the chilling, and just as public way that Saddam Hussein executed his coup, then I urge you to watch this video. It doesn't show it but Saddam forced all of the remaining politicians to personally execute the other politicians who were implicated, thereby making them absolutely complicit, and forced to maintain the new regime or become criminals.
It might seem like a far fetched story, but it's all done step by step, right out of the authoritarian playbook.

My SO is watching it for the first time so I've been dipping in and out with her. It's amazing how similar Logan is to Trump, to the point where I'm convinced Trump watched the show and picked up Gregory Itzin's mannerisms.
Holy shit! I was literally just about to post this exact same video and talk about it! Saw a new reply, and here you are!
Here's what I was coming up with :
I was recently introduced to this video of Christopher Hitchens talking about Saddam's rise to power in Iraq (I know that Hitchens has valid detractors of his own for many reasons, and that he was in particularly disappointing on Islam, but this clip is impactful).
VIDEO
I've been digging through quite a bit of this type of stuff this past week (Iraq, Russia, American Civil War, Syrian Civil War, etc) but nothing has struck me as much as this.
This is what these fucking republicans wanted here. This is what Trump was praying the endgame would be. We are here in America. He may still get it.
I have so much more adoration for the Dems now. More than I ever thought possible. We can't afford to lose even one of them to these bastards. Don't know how I would react if I turned on the TV and saw AOC/Pelosi/Tlaib/Etc being led out of the Chamber like this. Matter of fact, to hell with me, How would left America react? Since we seemingly have conceded on firearms/self-defense, what can we realisticly do once these fascist (Not just Trump specifics, but militias, law enforcement, MILITARY, etc) actually do complete their takeover?
We basically only have pop culture entertainment. We may have more raw number media members, but the right has shown that they can basically make up for this by focusing all of their attention on a few sources. Even then, these pillars of culture (Entertainment, media, and I'll throw in academics) tend to get dismantled quickly under regimes.
I'm basically just holding onto the hope that people will ease back into some semblance of good-faith after Covid ends. But when the hell is that going to be? And with so many against the vaccine, doesn't feel like "back to regular life" is going to be a savior anytime soon.
We are in SO DEEP at this point. Doesn't feel like there's any turning back.
I'm just seeing this for the first time on Era. This should be on the front page of every legitimate paper in this country. Christ...this explains so much. We're spending so much time focusing on the morons who got in and committed acts of vandalism when the focus should be on this. This is terrifying.
I mean, not all of the left.
Racial Tension is Behind a Rise in Black Gun Ownership
The face of gun ownership in America is changing, and Black men and women are a big part of that
Sadly, I would say less about 'They saw this coming' but more along the lines of 'This has happened before'.
One Hundred Years Ago, a Four-Day Race Riot Engulfed Washington, D.C.
Rumors ran wild as white mobs assaulted black residents who in turn fought back, refusing to be intimidated

This anti-government undercurrent has been growing for years and it is not going anywhere soon. We need to work on defeating it, not getting back to normal or it will continue to fester.
It's funny, Dems are "expected" to move closer to Repubs in order to heal, while some of said Repubs were actively trying to get their colleagues killed because of a different political view and party.
They should lock them all up to "heal" ...
Boy, Biden has some tough job awaiting, all the best to him and Harris, really.

Aryanna Presley's chief of staff says their panic buttons were removed from their offices -before- the attack.

House Majority Whip Wants Investigation into How Rioters Found His Office
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) on Friday called for an investigation into how rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol earlier this week knew where to find his office.In an interview with SiriusXM Radio’s Joe Madison, Clyburn said that he had never before seen such a failure of...
Not a surprise at all. This was absolutely an "inside job." A group of protestors/rioters is not going to be able to storm and ransack the Capitol like this unless people want it to happen.
Welp thats pretty damning evidence right there. They were a hit squad.
I don't know how they're wired over there, but isn't it customary for security devices like that to go off when they drop their signal? Tearing them off while these things are "armed" would be the same as pushing the button directly.
*edit*
Looking into it, it looks like it's not necessarily standard practice for panic buttons.

Apparently this photo was from 2019. However the folks there definitely were at the riot.
They think their being slick, but sure looks like it to me.
From all 4 circled too.
So they throwing up gang signs?
Rep Boebert is associating w/ known Gang Members on Capitol grounds.
The first time as tragedy, the second as farce.
Every GOP Nazi fuck involved in this needs be rooted out and punished as harshly as treachery laws allow.
We are extremely fortunate that the terrorists were too incompetent to get anything meaningful done despite hours of unrestricted access in the capitol
Call me crazy but associating yourself with a paramilitary group whose goal is to overthrow a government is a step up over having a photo taken with a gang.
Forensically, it's going to be hard to hide between :
- cross referencing "foreign" mobile lines that registered in Congress on both the eve and the attack. Particularly considering there's supposed to be no visitors.
- Visitor logs, and crossing the list with known suspects. You'd know who let them in.
- CCTVs.
- texts / phone logs of suspects
And whatever else we don't even know about. I'm going to assume the most dangerous ones were careful planners and didn't bring phones on either day, were wearing caps, etc. but still, if I was a Republican accomplice I'd be shitting my pants.

Democrats would need iron tight evidence before moving to remove anyone from elected office or the optics would be really bad. With how powerful the fascist propaganda machine is, even if the evidence is waterproof, many would cry foul
not crazy, just relating it back to "if they were black"
Just imagine if any black member of congress was seen bring friendly and inviting to known gang members, flashing gang signs in the pic, giving them tours of the building, and then the next day they did some heinous shit like this..... would we have to wait this many days before they were publicly called out and worse?
what an asshole. did he just circle random people in the picture as well?
I really hope that people on the left don't start doing the exact shit that we've been going after the right for doing the last 2 months and spreading misinformation. What happened a week ago was bad enough without needing to exaggerate details or do no fact checking at all.
Fucking hell. I really hope all the people who participated in this assassination attempt are found and jailed.
I think real life still has some catching up to do.
"I WISH EVERYONE ELSE WAS DEAD." PRETTY GOOD, EPISODE 7.
"24" was the Bush administration's favorite TV show. It was also a quasi-apocalyptic nightmare that reduced America to a cathedral of death worship. That is ...
youtu.be
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the people in the picture from 2019 that are circled have now been found to have been part of the attack on the Capitol, so while it's misleading to say it was recent, it still shows a link between her and the terrorists.
Yup. Just report the truth, it's already damning enough. No need to fight fire with fire here.
