(153,174 posts)yes, they DID......Trump because he's a raging narcissist who has never in his life been denied what he wants - and his sick supporters because they've become a CULT - it has been very sickening to watch......I am hoping some of them are waking up to reality but I will never again have to wonder how horrors like the Holocaust and Jonestown came about - I have now seen with my own eyes how easily some people can be deluded and manipulated

(5,144 posts)They did not need to 'look' for anyone. They had them right there. Yet, they did nothing but hold the freaking door for them as they left. In fact, there is footage of the police letting the protestors through the barricade and posing with some for selfies. There is no law in this country, unless you are a privileged white. Then, there is no law, but there is plenty of retaliation for those who would dare question the supposed order of things. Disgusting.

(43,249 posts)Lots of possibilities. They lacked the personnel to control and detain them all, they were told to be flexible, they have video so they know who they all are, there might be similar operatives in the states that they wanted to probe. No one had a plan of what to do about it, and Trump was fine with it.

(2,694 posts)nothing is going to happen. Investigations begin, no one can say anything about them because they are on going. Hush hush, sweet citizens, were on this, now go back to sleep while we do our jobs! (Which is, of course, to say indignant things about these barbarians and send a couple or three investigators out into the field where theyll, of course, find nothing and gradually the whole nightmarish crime will just fade out of the media because, OMG, Biden/Harris are trying to pass Green New Deal Laws! And Harris once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die, I think, didnt she? And Hunter Biden was compromised in Wuhan by an orgy with underaged prostitutes and we have a video that seems to show . . . .)
So the traitors will return home and suck beers down with their neo-nazi buddies. Hey man, your moneys no good here! Drinks on the house!
Months of investigation will pass and a few little weasels will be arrested, their pictures in the media, but a GoFundme campaign will fund their lawyers (thank you little Rickie Schroeder and friends!) and the jury will end up unable to bring in a verdict. End of story.
And then the Government and media will move on to "more important things" like infrastructure, tax law, and wheres that tape with Hunter Biden?
So the basic traitorous infrastructure will remain unharmed by the Federal, State and Local police for the simple reason all three bodies are complicit, whether actively supportive, by opening the gates for the Vandals, e.g., (as happened at the Capitol yesterday), or passively by taking selfies with them even while they destroy the building, trash documents, and, for christs sake, hunting, literally, hunting for the Vice President of the United States. (And the hunt, of course, was prompted by Trump and morphed into a call on Gab to the assholes in the building to find Pence. And the cops took selfies!)

(1,962 posts)Yep. I recognize him. Fat, ugly, stupid-looking, with orange skin, tiny hands, a stupid combover and bone spurs.
Think the FBI might act on this tip?

(14,939 posts)In the Oval Office, President Trump gestures to Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, as he speaks to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. (Alexander Shcherbak/TASS/Getty Images)
I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.
"I'm not under investigation," he added.

(7,914 posts)Where were they when the crowd went into attack mode following Trump's command to take the Congress?
My remarks are not hype. The FBI is charged with preventing things like this from happening. What instructions were they given that they were so fucking lax about this group of protesters? "Don't bruise the President's personal hit squad?"

(2,574 posts)Every one of the fascists who entered the Capitol Building are domestic terrorists that had malicious, seditious intentions, and should be charged and arrested.
It was not OK for any one of to them to storm the Capitol building. Lock. Them. Up.

(4,291 posts)A lot of the photos and video clips I've seen from the attack show Karens and their incel co-conspirators holding up cell phones to take video or still photos. If the federal government and wireless carriers can track the people who went to Miami Beach for spring break, could they not also track these terrorists?
Who needs a 5-G tracking chip in a vaccine dose, when these traitors already carry tracking devices in their pockets?

(639 posts)Find every single phone, within one mile of the US Capitol before during and after, the insurgency.
Each individual phone can be 'pinged' which will reveal;
--the phone number
--it's GPS location
--any pics, texts, etc that the phone transmitted or received
--who owns the phone
Find them, arrest the owners and charge them with every felony that can be thought up.
Seize their assets, as we do with all terrorists, and let them find out what 'due process' is all about.
They can try to get bail and defend their actions in court.
We have laws and high tech investigative methods which should be used.
the phone evidence can convict them.

(79 posts)75% of these misfits dont have jobs. They live in trailer parks or their moms basement. They go from job to job and have had a few wifes. They are what Clinton called deplorables . They are now even more motivated by what didnt happen yesterday. They were allowed to breach the capital and take selfies of their accomplishments. Believe me this has added to their stupid beliefs about the election was stolen. They are now exchanging their selfies as trophies to put on their pickup trucks back windows. Make no mistake they are motivated like never before. There needs to be arrest ASAP. Consequences for their mob behavior. Stop the talking and get them behind bars.

(79 posts)WHAT. I remember the last time the fbi investigation was conducted about a Supreme Court justice nomination. They never called any leads and didnt follow any leads. People were waiting for a call that never happened. fbi is a farce force of clowns. Ask Barney about these mob people. Now you have completed your investigation. The fbi has a real problem with people trusting or respecting them. They have lost all respect from me.( Federal bureau of Idiots ) . Dont even bring up the DOJ either.
