Literal terrorism and nothing is being done about it.
Retards go on a tour of the capitol and they are stripped of their rights and jailed.
Something seems wrong about this dynamic but I cannot put my finger on it...

Socialism, communism and post-modernism infested academic institutions decades ago in the United States and wasn't properly addressed. As a result destructive ideas have spread from the top down like an invasive vine seeking to take all the light from what once was a healthy and ever growing tree.
For example the "prejudice plus power equals racism" stance quite a few so called progressives have originates from a book that was made in 1970. That was a wild view then and still is now. The absurdity has only increased in the decades since.

The sentiment expressed is relevant to the trials of other members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, as it underscores the coordinated nature of the insurrection and the shared ideology that fueled their actions. The events of January 6, 2021, were not merely spontaneous acts of individual protest but part of a broader conspiracy to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
In the case of the Oath Keepers, their leader, Stewart Rhodes, was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, among other charges. This conviction highlights the organized and premeditated nature of their involvement in the insurrection. Rhodes and his followers conspired to oppose the lawful transfer of power, training and planning for their assault on the Capitol.

Never been to college have you? Or interacted with frats have you?
In college, you pretty much have to interact with fraternity men on a daily basis. Sometimes even professors and administration who are fraternity alumni and who are still, in one way or another, involved with the fraternity. You have a couple of options: ignore them and go about your daily business while taking your pillow and holding it down on your anger and rage's face until it stops kicking whenever you hear them talk about a raging kegger they threw that you weren't invited to or when they do an invite-only event or when something happens on campus where the frat did something bad but they get off with a slap on the wrist. Join them and hope to become one of the group. Or go out of your way to be nice to them (which oftentimes is easy, as a lot of frat guys can and are normal likeable types and not the Satanic figures the lunatic left loves to portray them as) and maybe, just maybe, they'll invite you to an invite only party or event.
The cocktail party circuit is like a fraternity and most politicians cuck themselves so they can get invited to their parties. Not just because DC Cocktail circuit is a great place to network and get cushy consulting gigs for after you leave office or for your kid or mistress, etc. But also because they tend to be the nicest parties being thrown, the kind that get fawned over in the local and national newspapers and who anyone who's anyone gets invited to. Yes, Madison Cawthorn can throw a raging kegger with pizza and ice cream and UFC on the big screen for his besties. But most politicians would rather go to a fancy formal party where a lot of famous people will be in attendance and where they can gloat afterwards about who they saw and what was being talked about "off the record", and crow about how Madison's pizza party to watch UFC 275 was infantile and low class. Not all parties are created equal and in Washington, the cocktail circuit is the equivalent of the fraternity's private parties that only the elite few can get into. Which means "being nice", fate of the country be damned.

This may have to do with the news that Trump is going to have an interview with Logan Paul on his podcast.

The one GOP no vote was Daver Joyce from Ohio. His wikipedia shows he's from a 60/40 red district, and is usually a decent vote, but did vote against the 2017 repeal of Obummer Care, and was one of the fag GOP votes to codify same sex marriage in '22.

My favorite thing about the discussions was Raskin saying it was not right to hold Garland in contempt because muh Trump. The DNC opened the door to this kind of attack and the GOP is not afraid to use it.

That, and the potency of heroin in a given area is a moving target. Addicts are aware of the potency so they shoot what they know it to currently be. These aren't chemists packaging and cutting this shit.
When they come back from a break they're running on guess work on top of a decreased tolerance. It's a great way to end up with me bagging you and pushing Narcan.

The report details how the agencies failed to recognize and warn of the potential for violence as some of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters openly planned the siege in messages and forums online.
Among the multitude of intelligence that was overlooked was a December 2020 tip to the FBI that members of the far-right extremist group Proud Boys planned to be in Washington, D.C., for the certification of Joe Biden’s victory and their “plan is to literally kill people,” the report said. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee said the agencies were also aware of many social media posts that foreshadowed violence, some calling on Trump’s supporters to “come armed” and storm the Capitol, kill lawmakers or “burn the place to the ground.”
Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the Democratic chairman of the Homeland panel, said the breakdown was “largely a failure of imagination to see threats that the Capitol could be breached as credible,” echoing the findings of the Sept. 11 commission about intelligence failures ahead of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The report by the panel’s majority staff says the intelligence community has not entirely recalibrated to focus on the threats of domestic, rather than international, terrorism. And government intelligence leaders failed to sound the alarm “in part because they could not conceive that the U.S. Capitol Building would be overrun by rioters.”
Still, Peters said, the reasons for dismissing what he called a “massive” amount of intelligence “defies an easy explanation.”

While several other reports have examined the intelligence failures around Jan. 6 — including a bipartisan 2021 Senate report, the House Jan. 6 committee last year and several separate internal assessments by the Capitol Police and other government agencies — the latest investigation is the first congressional report to focus solely on the actions of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
In the wake of the attack, Peters said the committee interviewed officials at both agencies and found what was “pretty constant finger pointing” at each other.
“Everybody should be accountable because everybody failed,” Peters said.
Using emails and interviews collected by the Senate committee and others, including from the House Jan. 6 panel, the report lays out in detail the intelligence the agencies received in the weeks ahead of the attack.
There was not a failure to obtain evidence, the report says, but the agencies “failed to fully and accurately assess the severity of the threat identified by that intelligence, and formally disseminate guidance to their law enforcement partners.”

As Trump, a Republican, falsely claimed he had won the 2020 election and tried to overturn his election defeat, telling his supporters to “ fight like hell ” in a speech in front of the White House that day, thousands of them marched to the Capitol. More than 2,000 rioters overran law enforcement, assaulted police officers, and caused more than $2.7 billion in damage to the Capitol, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report earlier this year.
Breaking through windows and doors, the rioters sent lawmakers running for their lives and temporarily interrupted the certification of the election victory by Biden, a Democrat.
Even as the attack was happening, the new report found, the FBI and Homeland Security downplayed the threat. As the Capitol Police struggled to clear the building, Homeland Security “was still struggling to assess the credibility of threats against the Capitol and to report out its intelligence.”
And at a 10 a.m. briefing as protesters gathered at Trump’s speech and near the Capitol were “wearing ballistic helmets, body armor, carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks,” the FBI briefed that there were “no credible threats at this time.”
The lack of sufficient warnings meant that law enforcement were not adequately prepared and there was not a hardened perimeter established around the Capitol, as there is during events like the annual State of the Union address.
The report contains dozens of tips about violence on Jan. 6 that the agencies received and dismissed either due to lack of coordination, bureaucratic delays or trepidation on the part of those who were collecting it. The FBI, for example, was unexpectedly hindered in its attempt to find social media posts planning for Jan. 6 protests when the contract for its third-party social media monitoring tool expired. At Homeland Security, analysts were hesitant to report open-source intelligence after criticism in 2020 for collecting intelligence on American citizens during racial justice demonstrations.
One tip received by the FBI ahead of the Jan. 6 attack was from a former Justice Department official who sent screenshots of online posts from members of the Oath Keepers extremist group: “There is only one way in. It is not signs. It’s not rallies. It’s f—— bullets!”

The social media company Parler, a favored platform for Trump’s supporters, directly sent the FBI several posts it found alarming, adding that there was “more where this came from” and that they were concerned about what would happen on Jan. 6.
”(T)his is not a rally and it’s no longer a protest,” read one of the Parler posts sent to the FBI, according to the report. “This is a final stand where we are drawing the red line at Capitol Hill. (…) don’t be surprised if we take the #capital (sic) building.”
But even as it received the warnings, the Senate panel found, the agency said over and over again that there were no credible threats.
“Our nation is still reckoning with the fallout from January 6th, but what is clear is the need for a reevaluation of the federal government’s domestic intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination processes,” the new report says.
In a statement, Homeland Security spokesperson Angelo Fernandez said that the department has made many of those changes two and a half years later. The department “has strengthened intelligence analysis, information sharing, and operational preparedness to help prevent acts of violence and keep our communities safe.”
The FBI said in a separate response that since the attack it has increased focus on “swift information sharing” and centralized the flow of information to ensure more timely notification to other entities. “The FBI is determined to aggressively fight the danger posed by all domestic violent extremists, regardless of their motivations,” the statement said.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has defended the FBI’s handling of intelligence in the run-up to Jan. 6, including a report from its Norfolk field office on Jan. 5 that cited online posts foreshadowing the possibility of a “war” in Washington the following day. The Senate report noted that the memo “did not note the multitude of other warnings” the agency had received.
The faultfinding with the FBI and Homeland Security Department echoes the blistering criticism directed at U.S. Capitol Police in a bipartisan report issued by the Senate Homeland and Rules committees two years ago. That report found that the police intelligence unit knew about social media posts calling for violence, as well, but did not inform top leadership what they had found.
Peters says he asked for the probe of the intelligence agencies after other reports, such as the House panel’s investigation last year, focused on other aspects of the attack. The Jan. 6 panel was more focused on Trump’s actions, and concluded in its report that the former president criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol.
“It’s important for us to realize these failures to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Peters said.

The mere fact the Ukraine has a formal assassination list that contains U.S citizens should immediately disqualify them from any military or economic aid.
They are a hostile nation plotting to extra judicially kill Americans.
