A dozen NG have been pulled from DC (so far) and are heading for the reeducation camps. Claims are "inappropriate comments". Some were snitched on via some kind of tip line.

I'm betting innocuous comments, it was all the jackboots could find, and they had to pinch somebody for something to make the new regime happy. Likely these will be innocent guardsmen whose careers are now ruined.

Resist 46.

I hope they keep it up. Every NG they pull is another Sargeant, Colonel, General, State Governor, or military-friendly political figure with that much more animosity for the current administration's bullshittery. If they do try to pull something as abysmally stupid as calling up the NG against general citizenry for some utopically-twisted leftist propagandic misanthropy, I want all the pissed off Guardsmen (Guardpersons?) and politicritters I can find on my side.

FBI raided a house about 30 minutes from me. The local news *expletive deleted*ck standing in front of the camera made sure to point out “they have a Trump flag!” (Like 75% of the houses in this state).

Anyone else think it's both ominous and suggestive that the incoming administration thinks it needs to surround itself with a LOT of military force to protect itself from the general population?



Yes.

One of the local radio personalities is calling this "political theater" - I agree that it is.  I am afraid of what the 3rd act is going to entail.  They're building up to one hell of a conclusion.

Job #1 wanted a delivery driver tonight to run something up to the federal district. That’s a hard no from me.

It got me thinking about having political officers embedded in each military unit.    [tinfoil]

they are a politically protected group and always get a pass on disturbing the peace. ;)

Well they did say this (quoted in the article):

“We’re not taking any chances. Anything flags, there’s any reason that somebody’s name is brought to the attention of the command? They’re being removed from the line. We’ll ask questions later,” Pentagon press secretary Jonathan Hoffman said.

A redundant term; the officers are already politicized.

In case you missed it, a bunch of people on internet message board Reddit artificially blew up the stock price of GameStop, the brick-and-mortar store that sells and trades physical copies of videogames in an age where digital downloads are the new normal. You don’t have to know the details of the story to appreciate CNN’s Chris Cillizza’s hot take, which was that “Trumpism” was the explanation for the GameStop surge.

Here’s an even hotter take, though, from Mother Jones’ Ali Breland, who’s been scanning the messaging app Telegram and finding that “the Nazis appear to be trading GameStop and AMC as well.”

Hot take: What’s the overlap between the Nazis trading GameStop stocks and the ones who stormed the Capitol?

A Second Police Officer Who Responded to Capitol Riots Has Died by Suicide
https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/cm/second-police-officer-responded-capitol-162405666.html

This headline caught my eye.  Not sure what is normal for Capitol Police.  The below article was linked.

Two cops suicide after a riot that wasn't really much of a riot.  Something about this makes me suspicious.  Along the lines of someone associated with the Clintons who committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head.

It just doesn't smell right.

Cop suicide rates are high. Not sure it had anything to do with the mostly peaceful protest.

On Jan. 6, that same threat descended on the Capitol. Domestic terrorists attacked the seat of American democracy, intending to violently subvert the will of the people.

These insurrectionists came armed with zip ties, pepper spray, pipe bombs, smoke devices and other weapons. They wanted not only to disrupt the proceedings that ratified Joe Biden as the next president of the United States but also to inflict harm on our legislators and on Vice President Mike Pence.

We may have D.C.’s gun laws to thank for averting such disaster.
