There's going to be so much shit coming out, like SO much - hell offhand I remember that the white house archive team has spent their entire time taping documents he tears up after reading - you know they've archived plenty of shady memos and docs as well. Even if it results in little action the parade of shame will follow him from now on and he can't deflect like he could as POTUS. His presidential library will be split between a gift shop in Mar-a-Lago and various judicial archive basements around the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Yeah, in all honestly, it fits perfectly. As much as we point to the unmasked flag waving MAGA dipshits the truly far-right people never flat-out espouse clear fascist beliefs. They never will. They specifically don't. They purposely tout contradictory and inconsistent views in public. They perpetually claim they are being edgy or ironic or clever or some other shit. Everything is with a wink or a nod. When they seem sincere they aren't coherent but rather deluded AF. Like both of those quotes point to hypotheticals that are easy answers even for someone who is quite conservative or right-wing. The second literally doesn't denounce alt-right racism or neo-nazi but rather the idea of it being in the form of pagan esoteric bullshit. That's it. If anything one could argue he's endorsing far right-wing ideology in new forms which is essentially the core ethos of alt right and MAGA supporters 2 minutes ago, Rubin Farr said: That's the one thing I trusted the Pentagon to pre-emptively prepare for the moment he was nominated. I never expected to them to intervene or help at all in a hypothetical civil war. Their priority has always been the most basic stability and protected nukes and essential military and infrastructure sites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 on the issue of intelligence i think it's clear that it was a botched job by relevant parties. the capitol police gave assurance ahead of time that they were prepared and cooperating with metro police and had the situation under control, they declined assistance from the fbi and the national guard days in advance and while shit was taking place, but in the end there were like capitol 5 cops there lol. their budget is over $500million. in 2017 at the inauguration protests the police arrested 217 people and held them outside the capitol for 16 hours or something. among the charges was a 70 year sentence for smashing windows (dropped thankfully). i condemn this but it demonstrates that when they want to, the security forces that are regularly in place can be efficiently organized to respond (even to an excessive degree) to protests at the capitol. the authorities had ample warning, there were numerous elected officials including the president inciting their followers with incendiary language, and there was a considerable degree of public organizing. blah blah blah. imo there's no denying the soft response was a failure to conduct business as usual, the question remains as to why. to my knowledge there has not even been a briefing from the capitol police to anyone about what took place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambermonk Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 At this point my main concern is the possible intentional lack of security come inauguration day. If the DC KKKops and National Guard have explicit orders to allow these mobs to do as they please, then we're basically at the mercy of their own stupidity. We can only hope more of these clowns taze themselves in the balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayor has extended the emergency declaration until a day after inauguration, but it seems to mostly relate to business and reimbursements, not security. I imagine it will be tightened up even more than usual. That city has become something of a fortified area since 9/11, so a police presence is usually felt on the streets. Some firings are definitely coming to the police force, and I believe both Sergeant at Arms for the Congress have resigned. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/533060-dc-mayor-extends-emergency-declaration-until-day-after-bidens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example - noted accelerationist Nick Land has been credited for inspiring marxist leaning figures like the late Mark Fisher (who I recommend heavily) as well as various alt-right pundits. That accelerationist stuff lends to a lot of shitty big brain ideology that seems very much suited to Ariel Pink and Jon Maus both. Unfortunately talented musicians with substantive catalogs, especially those who stray in experimental, avant-garde, outsider and "art school grad" territory can indeed be quite daft. Grimes is another example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Quote This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike. The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy. nancy pelosi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
