January 6, 2021: The Insurrection

They'll sit on it until after 1/20 and then it won't be an issue.

 

why do you think Canada frequently elects Liberal governments.

 

No. You're talking about a group of people that work together for long hours and in very close quarters. I can assure you that the officers and NCOs know who in their units are trustworthy and which aren't...

 

if you really think that's the basis on which troops will be selected for a critical assignment, all I can say is God help your military.

 

Social media posts might show extreme views.

 

I don't really understand. Which "troops" would be deployed at a presidential inauguration?

 

Anyone who had a Parler account is not allowed to work the inauguration?

 

LOL. No. That isn't how the units being selected will be chosen, but that's largely going to be how the 'review' will go. There isn't going to be enough time to do an independent review of each soldier assigned to DC.

 

Or let them party like 1789.

 

not sure what distinction you're making. what "review"?

 

There's a difference between units and individual soldiers within the unit.. I'd imagine the units being selected for Inauguration Day are, as a whole, going to be pretty high performing for the role they will be assigned to. But the DoD said they'll be screening the soldiers within those units to make sure they don't have any sympathies for the groups they are most likely going to come up against and whether that will interfere with their ability to perform their duties.

 

This is very worrying. I mean, they're basically saying that they aren't putting past Trumpers the idea of committing an actual coup through the help of some traitorous military?

 

Yes, the likes of Sonny C. Cernutter, I guess.

 

That is so f'd up and not an angle I seriously considered

I said that local mayors should do the same with their police

 

They've closed the Washington Monument due to threats from right-wing American extremists.

Not al-Qaeda. Not the Taliban. Not ISIS.

American right-wing extremists. https://t.co/uowZ3oL5y0

well done GOP. you created this

 

AOC.

 

Actually, it is pretty easy. One way is through social medias, most of these guys are on social media and one will find easily. Each of the corps have their own intelligence and I am sure they have monitored troops.

 

100%. Now that the FBI has all the accounts with driver license, it is pretty easy.

 

It ain't that hard. I only had 15 people under me and I knew which two I wouldn't trust for a mission like this (though for one of the guys, it was because he was just so goddamned sucky at his job) and I know which 6 I would trust with my life. I would imagine any lieutenant could do the same for his troops and only assign members from the latter group.

 

My rep may have gotten COVID from the Trump Death Cult

Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test.

I have tested positive.https://t.co/wivlbwrmV0
