According to #us #whitehouse #aide #cassidyhutchinson - during the Janurary 6th #capitol #riot , #trump tried to grab the #steeringwheel and #overpower #secretservice #agents https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bull.. Apparently an agent is even willing to #testify under #oath that this isn't true...
So the #leader of the #proudboys #enriquetarrio was #banned from the #state #capitol on January 6th, and is now #charged with the #conspiracy of #organising it? https://www.zerohedge.com/political/prou.. Smells like a #setup to me. They have it out for him for sure.
Very interesting, #us #congressman #troynehls had an #illegal #investigation of his #office and #staff by #capitol #police https://www.zerohedge.com/political/capi.. Apparently they #dressed like #construction #workers and #photographed #confidential #information - this is a very dangerous move in #politics . #politicians *require* the ability to act in good faith, to have uneasy #discussions , etc.

Hopefully they are able to continue #pressure of the #government to adopt a #uk -like #policy of zero #restrictions . Apparently #holland follows.#workingclass #heroes in #canada fight #vaccine #mandates and "storm the capitol" in #protest https://youtube.com/watch?v=AC4wXGsmN9k Good on them, if the #government have any #sense they'll #listen ...
#princeharry should be very careful about exactly how he is #received by people in the #us - they rebelled against the #royalfamily before! https://www.lotuseaters.com/prince-harry.. He is currently claiming he #warned #twitter 's #jackdorsey of the " #capitol #coup " a day before it happened... As if he is some kind of #smart guy and not just a product of an #affair ...
I'm not #suggesting #facebook did anything wrong on January 6th and the #capitol #protests - but if you're going to insist that #parler or #gab were somewhat #responsible - then let it be known that these people #organized on #facebook and #twitter ! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/..
I suspect this #documentary on the #capitol " #insurrection " in the #us on January 6th is a little #biased https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15520020/ The #cast consists of a bunch of people playing themselves, including #nickalvear an #activist #filmmaker , #igorbobic a #huffpost #reporter and a series of #leftwing #politicians ... I'm sure this will be a fair and #unbiased #review of #events that day... The #reviews are not #polarised at all! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15520020/re..
There's something to be said when the #us #capitol gets more #security than #citizens trapped in #afghanistan https://www.lotuseaters.com/us-capitol-s.. Apparently the reason for increased security is because there will be a pro- #trump #rally ... #biden could not possibly act any more #insecure ...
#jonathanpie still blaming #trump after he's been out of office for about a year now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyEtLS-9.. He appears to have a selective memory about what happened at the #capitol - no officers actually died as a result (and all deaths happened well after the event), the one death was the police shooting a #rioter , a small number of #protestors that day broke in despite warnings from #protestors - a normally #public building. Trump even actively told people *not* to do this.
That's quite a move by the #us 's #biden #harris #administration https://www.lotuseaters.com/us-capitol-p.. Apparently #capitol #police have been told to #arrest those who choose not to wear a #mask due to #covid - quite an #authoritarian move.
Whilst I understand the plight of the guy, this does feel like media spin: https://youtube.com/watch?v=5a5kdeK-af0 20 years is too much for simply walking around the #capitol - people do a lot worse and get less time! I think the fact that the guy has a family does also play into this, given putting him away for 20 years would rob his son of a proper upbringing. They should all just get light suspended sentences.
You do have to ask why the #nationalguard in the #us had to 'defend' the #capitol for four months after the election process: https://www.lotuseaters.com/national-gua.. Seems over the top and a position of weakness for #biden to take.
