Only took 5 daysTrump has ordered flags at half staff for the Capitol Police officer murdered on Trump's behalf.
He died Thursday night, 3 days ago.Only took 5 days
At rallies, do they normally use the bullet proof glass? Doesn't appear to be from video footage.id you know that Trump spoke behind "the very thick bullet proof" glass on the 6th, because Pence is trying to have him assassinated.
Really interesting account from what appears to be someone that frequents protests. I find the lack of restrictions on items and the fact that the Bill Nye Science gathering having a bigger show of force to be interesting. As someone mentioned above about the readiness to stab the capital police in the back, it sounds like many protesters turned on the police when the police didn't join them.

The only other federal law enforcement presence was an FBI Swat team of about eight officers who arrived to provide cover for the Capitol Fire and EMTs there to extract Ashli Babbitt, the QAnon radical who was shot inside the Capitol Building. 11/22Really interesting account from what appears to be someone that frequents protests.

Should've let the bitch bleed out and be a warning to everyone else to stay the fuck away from that door. Or if her coconspirators were that concened they could've carried her to the EMTs. That SWAT team should've been used to protect the innocent not dragging out a half cold terrorist.
Ironic really. Elections have consequences.He died Thursday night, 3 days ago.
I was watching cnn this afternon and one of pelosi's (former staffer) told an anecdotal story about Officer Sicknick.
Apparently he was a trump supporter, in context of this story.
I am guessing news of the dead officer being a trump supporter got back to the orange menace and he lowered the flags.
Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick who died after pro-Trump riot was veteran and war critic
Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, a veteran and New Jersey native, died Thursday from injuries he suffered during the attack on the Capitol.www.usatoday.com
"I collapsed into him in tears and I knew he was a Trump supporter – he was an outspoken Trump supporter – and he put that aside in that moment to comfort a friend and it was a small gesture of kindness, but one that has always stuck with me," she said."
That's the only reason for a 3 day delay.
This is the transactional president.
Nothing is given by him unless you provide fealty, loyalty or money.
He will never do the right thing on his own.
If the Capitol Police chief's recounting of events are true, he really got hung out to dry when higher ups completely dropped the ball:
Outgoing Capitol Police chief: House, Senate security officials hamstrung efforts to call in National Guard
By Carol D. Leonnig, Aaron C. Davis, Peter Hermann and Karoun Demirjian
I'm assuming the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms work for the legislative houses? Incompetence notwithstanding, why would Pelosi and McConnell jeopardize their own security?I have no reason to doubt him. That sound like a reasonable account. He was between a rock and hard place.
Those above him in the chain, that denied his request for NG support, have also resigned (been forced to) and we really need to hear their reasoning and if they were influenced further up the chain.
Correct as I also understand itI'm assuming the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms work for the legislative houses? Incompetence notwithstanding, why would Pelosi and McConnell jeopardize their own security?
While the President is commander-in-chief, that command is not direct but rather exercised through the SecDef (who was ... completely absent), with operational command authority for the DC Army NG with the Sec Army who ultimately exercised his own judgement/authority and ordered deployment after being called directly by Congress for aid (with troops finally on site several hours later)Clearly there were some political considerations before and during the insurrection. A big part of the problem is that D.C. National Guard answers to POTUS, so it's hard to get them mobilized when POTUS is attempting a self-coup. From what we've learned, POTUS never actually authorized DCNG, which appears to be a violation of chain of command?

DEMOCRACY... was fun while it lasted.
And.... if these radicals actually were successful in killing Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence and killing every single anti Trump person out there, then what? With a government by the radicals and for the radicals, a government by the hate and for the hate, how long could they possibly last before self imploding? Seriously... when you have so many different hate groups coming together for a common cause, as they did on January 6th, they eventually must separate back into their own ideological tribes...
