This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind.

Not sure how much of a difference it makes at this point, but one “anti-fascist” leftist* has been confirmed to have entered the Capitol building during the riot. He says he wanted to document the moment, but looks like he was deliberately fanning the flames while doing so.

*(though he says he’s not Antifa, this description is clearly correct)

Speaking of reestablishing norms, in response to the mostly peaceful but terrifying events that led lawmakers to courageously cower in their chambers or bravely flee, metal detectors have suddenly appeared at the entrances to the House floor.

https://nypost.com/2021/01/13/rep-boebert-clashes-with-capitol-police-over-metal-detector/

This wouldn't have affected the protesters in the slightest, so it must be a response to the danger presented by members of Congress. They're telling us we clearly can't trust them.

Members of Congress are explicitly telling us other members of Congress are not trustworthy. Some may have given inside information, either in advance reconnaissance or sharing information during the insurrection, or incited the insurrectionists whether strongly or lightly. I'm looking forward to hearing the results of the investigations.

I'm glad they went after Trump. Eventually, the Democrates are going to lose, and whoever is in power at the time should prosecute people like Maxine Waters for doing what Trump did. No should be above the law.

Maxine Waters extorted the President of Ukraine and incited an insurrection that killed people? Is this a Q conspiracy theory thing? I did find this, but it doesn't say what the citizen's arrest would have been for:

Here's something interesting:
Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control.
from: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/13/politics/capitol-riot-investigation/index.html
Also: https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1349536597004460033

Tuesday, January 19: Transmittal of Article of Impeachment to the Senate:
It’s up to Nancy Pelosi to decide when to march the managers over to the Senate to “exhibit” the article and trigger a trial under the procedures set up in the upper chamber’s standing rules governing impeachment. 
  If the House managers show up the minute the Senate goes back into session, then an impeachment trial would begin at 1 p.m. the following day — which happens to be Inauguration Day. 
from: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/timeline-trump-second-impeachment.html

Federal procurement docs that show the Secret Service has hired a company called Showcall Security Services to help out with the inauguration in January. The company scored a $7.5 million contract for the job … and it sounds like they’ll be worth every dime of taxpayer money. Turns out, a division of Showcall, named Checkmate, is what’ll be deployed here — and a glance at their specialties shows why they cost a pretty penny. Checkmate boasts “temporary deployable security assets” that create “hardened perimeters,” which can stop vehicle-borne threats and attempted weapons hand-offs of people who get past checkpoints.

Point:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/caught-video-antifa-protester-john-sullivan-brags-posing-trump-supporter-breaking-window-us-capitol-building-riots/
The militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s discord shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan.6 as he damaged federal property. Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington. Yet, in footage streamed to followers on his discord server, Sullivan, who uses the Discord name “Jayden X”, can be heard inciting violence from inside the U.S. Capitol and boasting about breaking a window. “If we don’t get in, we’re going to burn this shit down,” he gloats. “Let’s go! This shit’s ours. Fuck yeah. I can’t believe this is reality. We accomplished this shit. We did this shit together.” “I didn’t know I hit it [the window] that hard. No one got that on camera,” he continues. “Fuck the blue! Fuck the blue!” “It’s all fake,” he explains. “I learned that shit already – I am going to wear a Trump hat. I am going to wear a Trump hat. I bought one today,” he says. “I was wearing a Trump hat at the last Trump rally, at that Trump rally during the daytime because I was like, ‘nah, that shit ain’t happening, bro.

“Threats to our Elections and Other Critical Infrastructure Beijing intensified its influence efforts ahead of the 2020 U.S. elections to shape the U.S. policy environment, sway political figures it viewed as antithetical to its interests, and deflect and counter PRC-related criticisms. These pernicious efforts have the potential to deny Americans the fundamental right to make electoral decisions free from nefarious influence.”

As a side note, also this:

So something that applies only to the actual Rules of the House of Representatives, and not to speeches, bills or other House business, is ... not being applied to speeches, bills or other House business? Wow, the absolutely shocking ... consistency, I guess?

And yet ... reports that insurrectionists found unlabelled offices. And reports of suspicious tours the day before, after months in a pandemic. Better to wait and see what the investigations show.

So a few (D) lawmakers found the tours 'suspicious' after the fact, but not really enough to give a warning...or were those the 'warnings' that the FBI, Chuck, and Nancy ignored when they refused the capitol police requests for extra support...

...and really, an article that starts off that badly researched (Well, the second sentence at any rate)

from the article

Quote
One week after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol, there are still more questions than answers on whether any lawmakers or police assisted the pro-Trump rioters.
The idea of an insurrection is unheard of in modern US history, and the possibility that lawmakers or allies inside the Capitol were helping only contributes to the uncertainty and worry about the event and what's to come.


from Miriam Webster

insurrection noun

Ya too strong.  They didn’t fire any weapons as far as I know. Mob of imbeciles now facing federal charges is more like it.  The only thing I’m wondering is if Trump will pardon any of them or leave them under the bus.

Or it could just be political theater stirring up drama to advance their political agendas.

YOU WANT CONSPIRACIES FAGGOTS? HERE'S ONE
After last week’s deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, members of Congress are expressing something once unthinkable: that some of their own colleagues may be endangering their lives. Not in a rhetorical sense, but in a direct and immediate way.
“It’s the most poisonous I’ve ever seen,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview. “There’s the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?”
