This is something I've been wondering about, too.

Alexi McCammond is a reporter for Axios...she tweeted out the following.

Quote:
Rep. Tim Ryan tells me he implored the interim U.S. Capitol Police chief this AM to speak directly with/update the press to help "rebuild trust" with their unit, "because of what happened so many members of Congress" & others "feel very betrayed and let down by what happened."

Ryan tells reporters @ virtual briefing that a Capitol Police officer has been arrested since the Jan 6 attack. Said he told interim chief: "You need to make sure the press understands what’s going on here because it's important the American people know you’re cleaning house.”

Worth noting Rep. Ryan is one of few ppl actually providing semi-regular updates on this situation to reporters.

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf is resigning.

(Meant to be a reaction to wormius above.) My initial reaction was similar to yours. I was expecting a room number or something. However, on reflection, it may be a crime to post 'anything' related to her position. If nothing else, incredibly poor form. I agree about the minimal benefit of the doubt for this situation here. Charge her and let her fight it out in court.

Cause they have been told for over a year now that the election was going to be rigged and it was the only way he could lose. They bought the BS.

We are dealing with a brainwashing of people akin to a cult. Just on a massive scale that didn't seem possible. It's astonishing.

When this all gets broken down and studied and analyzed in the next few years, its going to be a fascinating read.

Seriously, and they are heavily outweighing real images and videos in terms of being shared.

Biden's gonna need a full suit of beskar armour for Inauguration Day.

But I trust the feds to diffuse most of the potential threats. These people are not bright and will blab about their plans somewhere because they never took Crime 101 class, nor will learn from the morons at the Capitol.

He'd better get used to a regular diet of deep fried spam, wonder bread, WW2 era canned vegitables and for desert a twinkie made in 1972 (those damn things never go bad)


I also expect that this will be a historic inauguration due to the amount of gun play.

Cyanide is organic, ethically sourced might be a bit of an issue though.
