Biden, Harris accused of 'gaslighting' for suggesting Capitol Hill rioters, 'peaceful' BLM double standard
"This is complete nonsense," conservative writer A.G. Hamilton reacted to Biden's remarks. "It's gaslighting that requires ignoring what we actually witnessed on a nightly basis last summer."

These folks, like you, ignore the actions and statements of these insurrectionists.

Of course you idolize them.

You're the moron.

It makes next to no change to division. People like you don't give a fuck what people like us say, only pretending you do when it lets you make a self-serving argument.

It's like when you pretend to care about children, about minorities, about poverty, about women. It's all pretense.

And you don't give a fuck what you do or say that is "contributory."

Hogan describes delayed permission to send national guard

Quote
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Thursday he immediately mobilized state police and national guard members when asked to go to Washington to help protect the U.S. Capitol, but the state was repeatedly denied permission before finally being authorized to send help by a defense official.

The Republican governor spoke at a news conference about the state’s response, a day after supporters of President Donald Trump breached the Capitol.

“There’s been ongoing discussions with all the federal agencies and all of our state agencies for a long time about the inauguration, which we’re always involved in, but this particular mission yesterday, you know, it just seemed to be a little dysfunctional,” Hogan said.

The District of Columbia submitted a direct request for help, Hogan said, and he immediately mobilized state police and the National Guard. However, Hogan said the state was repeatedly denied approval.

On the COVID-19 front, the projections for the end of this month are "up to 435,000," according to what I read yesterday.

That's based on 365k deaths through today.

But it's also based on a model that has the number of daily deaths plummeting starting on January 12th, even without rapid rollout of the virus. We've just hit new highs for deaths the last two days. We'll not set new daily death records all of the next 4 days, but we might set new records for those days of the week - we had a new average daily death rate that is hundreds above the projections from most places.

So, ~430k for the end of this month and ~567k (up to 600k) by April 1 strikes me as hopelessly naïve unless they have a reason for expecting the death rate to plummet that doesn't show in their model. 640k by April 1 seems conservative, and closer to 690k more likely.

Scott Atlas should be sued for medical malpractice?

Thanks!

And the link is appreciated, too.

This was posted on a FBI Twitter:
"The FBI is seeking to identify individuals instigating violence in Washington, D.C. We are accepting tips and digital media depicting rioting or violence in and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6. If you have information, visit http://fbi.gov/USCapitol."

And then, this:
"Please do not send pictures of the president. That is not helpful."

Yeah, it's our language here that's divisive from those poor misunderstood gentle protesters in the Capitol Building.

But you prepare for the worst.  And should have contingency plans and force enough to handle whatever might occur.  It sure looked like having more security upfront and/or sufficient backup in riot gear would have stopped this.


Sure.

But you miss all the rest of the story

DC Police, National Guard aspects

No, Kid.

It's not that we miss that.

It's that you keep trying to deflect the conversation, to minimize what the rioters and terrorists and rebels were trying to do and were doing.

Some of them were their to KIDNAP congressmen/women.

Why can't you admit they were out for far worse than BLM?!

You are not Bo.  Sorry.

You can only admit crap to Bo?

lol!

Josh I think the aspect that you are missing is who really cares what Red or kiid think about anything.
