I do think Twitter f***ed up here. They wouldn't be creating this optic if they had properly monitored these accounts before instead of doing a huge flood of bans all at the same time.

 

 

Or if they would apply the same standards to everyone.

17 Capitol police officers are under investigation for their behavior in and possible roles in the insurrection. If this isn’t a call for police reform I don’t know what is.

These people are indeed insurrectionists and need to be dealt with as just that.  American grown terrorism, infected with a trump virus that as dangerous, if not more so than covid.  Turning minds into deplorable, mush -  truly Trump liked the uneducated and the easily persuaded as they have now become his army to defend his weak ego and overturn the election.   If they in their arrogance and stupidity think what they are doing is going to turn this country into 'trump land' they are deluded and any force must be met with greater force.   We cannot have another situation like we did last week.

 

 I never would have thought 25 years ago that I would be seeing this and writing about it.  I believe FoxNews started in 1995 and I think that is the spring board to what we have today.

Capitol Police briefed Democrats on Monday night about three more potentially gruesome demonstrations planned in the coming days, with one plot to encircle the U.S. Capitol and assassinate Democrats and some Republicans.

On a private call Monday night, new leaders of the Capitol Police told House Democrats they were closely monitoring three separate plans that could pose serious threats to members of Congress as Washington prepares for Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20. 

The first is a demonstration billed as the “largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.” 

 

Another is a protest in honor of Ashli Babbitt, the woman killed while trying to climb into the Speaker’s Lobby during Wednesday’s pro-Trump siege of the Capitol. 

And another demonstration, which three members said was by far the most concerning plot, would involve insurrectionists forming a perimeter around the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court, and then blocking Democrats from entering the Capitol ― perhaps even killing them ― so that Republicans could take control of the government.

The members of Congress whom HuffPost spoke to Monday night were extremely concerned by the call. 

 

“It was pretty overwhelming,” one member said.

Officials on the call warned lawmakers about sharing too much information with the media, saying that divulging specific dates, times and countermeasures could aid the organizers of the plots. HuffPost is not disclosing certain information, such as who appears to be organizing these plots and when they are to take place.

One member was explicit that these groups were trying to get journalists to report on their demonstrations.

“Some of their main communications to organize these have been cut off, so they’re purposely trying to get the media to report on this as a way to further disseminate information and to attract additional support for their attacks,” this member said.

Democrats were told that the Capitol Police and the National Guard were preparing for potentially tens of thousands of armed protesters coming to Washington and were establishing rules of engagement for warfare. In general, the military and police don’t plan to shoot anyone until one of the rioters fires, but there could be exceptions.

Lawmakers were told that the plot to encircle the Capitol also included plans to surround the White House ― so that no one could harm Trump ― and the Supreme Court, simply to shut down the courts. The plan to surround the Capitol includes assassinating Democrats as well as Republicans who didn’t support Trump’s effort to overturn the election ― and allowing other Republicans to enter the building and control government.

All of these plots may never materialize. The Capitol Police have established a new perimeter with fencing and razor wire, and the National Guard has already been called in to help protect the Capitol and lawmakers.

But while Capitol Police assured members they were prepared for these terrorist plots, there was obvious concern from a number of lawmakers.

This insurrection would be a lot more frightening if the perpetrators weren't absolute morons:
