What was the terrorists' goal?

[Marthe48]

They are like dogs chasing a car. They got it, but don't know what to do with it. They want to mindlessly destroy, but have no ideas, no plans to replace what they destroy. Unless guns, rape and subservience.

I have a question. I don't play video games. My grandson plays war games. The figure he creates is endlessly trying to secure a location. Is there anything in video games that ensure players know that the figures in uniform are defending the Constitution, and it isn't mindless violence? What I saw and heard about yesterday was like a giant video game, but it doesn't look like the terrorists lost any turns.

1. I read someplace they want to take Congress people as hostages

but can't remember where I saw that

[jmowreader]

2. That's easy

They figured that if they stirred up enough shit, Congress would give Trump the second term the voters denied him.

3. Just like trump. Dogs chasing car. All id, no ego.

4. It was like Charlottesville, they were there to create their legends

Once one took the first step the others had to. Not only was it a mob mentality (fully incited by Trump) but what would they say when asked “What did YOU do?” Answer “I didn’t go inside “???? No way.

They are all over their internet today hailing their victory and spinning their yarns.

5. There were images of at least one terrorist inside the capital wearing a sidearm and zip ties on his

belt...looks like hostage taking was planned to me....hundreds of arrests need to be made, including conspiring leo and congress critters and staff...

6. I saw pictures of idiots with white zip ties

I don't think they brought them for their own arrests.

7. Their goal was to install Dear Leader as President for Life, just like Putin in Russia.

We're lucky they are all so goddamned incompetent--just like Needy Amin. I agree with former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis when he said on MSNBC this morning that the most chilling thing he saw yesterday was MAGAts tearing down the American flag and replacing it with a Trump flag.

Your analogy about them being like a dog chasing a car was spot on. I do believe that a few of them wanted to take hostages as evidenced by the terrorist who had a fistful of zip ties. I'll bet once they investigate these terrorist cells, plans will come to light. Look what they were plotting here in Michigan. They all belong in Leavenworth--or Guantanamo.

9. I'd like to see them stripped of their U.S. citizenship

America-Love it, or lose it.

8. To get to be part of Trump's reality tv show. NT
