ewerk 6,499 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I don't understand why there's only been 52 arrests? Unless the plan is to let them go and identify them later from camera footage. Link to post Share on other sites

And there's footage of protestors posing for selfies with coppers inside of the building. I think there's some element of an inside job here, it just looked like a sightseeing visit on some of the video you watched 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 5,903 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 It’s getting like that with the military over here. I’m not sure why you deserve instant respect just for having served in the armed forces. There’s a lad I went to school with who was a squaddie for a short time in the 90s. Incidentally he was both thick as fuck and (oddly) soft as shite. He started referring to himself as a ‘veteran’ on social media. I think the closest he got to any action was getting filled in by some locals in Germany 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Gemmill 2,825 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I've never understood the whole notion of blanket respect for the troops. I was at a wedding a couple of years ago, the groom was in the Navy, as were all his mates. All in uniform and, to a man, a giant set of noisy cunts. Fuck respect, I spent all day lamenting the fact that their boat hadn't sunk. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Monkeys Fist 7,397 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 There’s discussion that Pence and the Cabinet have already invoked the 25th but not announced it yet until the mouth breathers have dispersed from Washington DC. It turns out that Pence gave the order to deploy the National Guard, which only the President has the power to do. However, if that is the case, then technically he cannot oversee the ratification of the Electoral College votes, as that’s the job of the VP. I won’t be at all surprised if Trump is officially sacked off within the next day or so. https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/2464427/statement-by-acting-secretary-miller-on-full-activation-of-dc-national-guard/ ( note that Trump, the Commander-in-Chief and only person authorised to do so, is explicitly not mentioned in the statement above about activating the National Guard).

I thought the Secretary of Defense could do it in DC? You’re correct there, since DC has special status as it isn’t technically a state. But, it’s being reported that Pence gave the order. Also worth noting that there has been a flurry of resignations at the WH since the attack on the Capitol. The rats are abandoning ship. Link to post Share on other sites

Gemmill 2,825 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Be interesting to see what happens over the coming days. I suspect he'll see out his remaining time if he keeps his head down. If there's a repeat of this behaviour and a repeat of these scenes, they might do something. Link to post Share on other sites
