This is a longer video of them in the Capitol. They are stealing documents and taking pictures/videos while the cops are just watching or escorting them around. At one point in the video, cop comes into the Senate chamber and basically asks them to "hurry up" like they are viewing a closed exhibit in a museum. :smh: :smh: :smh:

Pentagon Won’t Throw Traditional Farewell Ceremony for Trump
It’s a shame, and a missed opportunity — not despite recent events but because of them.


The Pentagon, in a break with recent tradition, will not host an Armed Forces Farewell tribute to President Donald Trump.
It’s a shame, but not a surprise. Trump will leave office in disgrace, one week after the House voted a second time for his impeachment, two weeks after his supporters staged a deadly siege in the Capitol Building, six months after he dragged his Joint Chiefs chairman into a political firestorm, and after four years of nonstop assaults on truth. One of those disgraces is how he is ghosting the U.S. troops that he commanded.
On Wednesday, the White House announced that this weekend Vice President Mike Pence “will deliver remarks to sailors on the Trump Administration’s historic foreign policy achievements at Naval Air Station Lemoore,” and then to the 10th Mountain Division, in Fort Drum, New York. Two senior defense officials confirmed to Defense One on Thursday that no military farewell is being planned for the commander in chief.
Perhaps it’s for the best. Trump has used the military as a political prop since his first days in office, from signing MAGA hats for troops to giving partisan-fueled speeches in the heart of the Pentagon. American’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have been made to stand at attention for Trump’s rants long enough. Besides, presidential visits are an honor and a headache for any military base that hosts them. The last time Trump appeared before troops was the Dec. 12 Army-Navy game at West Point. Before that, there was a brief Oct. 29 private visit with Army special operators at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as he passed through on the presidential campaign trail.

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation...is-arrested-remains-focus-of-political-storm/

Man who shot video of fatal Capitol shooting is arrested, remains focus of political storm.

WASHINGTON — He’s a speed skater. He organizes protests, alienating activists on both ends of the political spectrum. He drove an Uber. And his 40-minute video following rioters through the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, capturing the fatal shooting of a Trump supporter, has placed John Earle Sullivan — “Activist John” — at the center of a conservative campaign to blame liberal groups for the Capitol siege.

The video also landed him in jail. Federal authorities tracking down Capitol trespassers watched Sullivan’s video, interviewed him and then obtained warrants Thursday charging him with causing a civil disorder, trespassing and disorderly conduct. Sullivan repeatedly exhorted rioters to enter the building and overwhelm police, and seemed to convince Capitol Police officers to walk away from the glass door entry to the House Speaker’s Lobby, his video shows. Moments later, with Sullivan screaming warnings about a gun, rioter Ashli Babbitt is shot and killed on the video by a Capitol Police officer.

Sullivan later claimed he was there to document — not participate — in the event.

His video attracted the attention of right wing leaders, including President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who said it showed that antifa was the true organizer of the attack; and Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala), who called Sullivan a “BLM & fascist #ANTIFA supporter arrested for role in Capitol assaults.”

But Sullivan is hardly the darling of the left. He began organizing protests in Utah last year, and at one of the first, one of the protesters shot a motorist, said Lex Scott, a racial justice organizer who founded Black Lives Matter Utah more than seven years ago.

“He came in to chase clout and get those media headlines,” Scott said of Sullivan. “Now, it’s not my place to ever tell anyone how to be an activist or what their goals should be … but the fact is that Black Lives Matter Utah has never had one arrest in seven years. We’ve never caused any violence, any destruction of property and this man comes in here and taints our reputation in a day.”
That face makes me believe he's going to introduced to this guy:

How do you travel to another state/area (especially a place with strict firearm laws) for work and forget you have your firearm and ammo in your vehicle? I don't believe his story.
That's because you are Black.
So naturally, you are ALWAYS aware of the gun laws in your immediate surroundings.

But when you are white... you don't pay as close attention to gun laws if you don't think they apply to you.
Yeah, if you are white & you have alot of guns... you might leave one in the car every now & then.

Naw bruh...that excuse aint working. People know certain states/areas (NY, NJ, CT, Cali, IL, etc.... aka to right wingers as the Communists States of America) where you best check those laws. I don't know the firearm laws in DC but I know they're strict there. You think a guy who lives in Virginia doesn't know DC has strict firearm laws? Naw...he was trying to be slick and got caught.

Ok, if he was trying to be slick & got caught... then why did they RELEASE HIM so quickly? :rolleyes:
Dude wasn't even locked up for 24 hours. He got caught, arrested & released within less than 6 hours. :rolleyes:

He knows that DC has strict gun laws... but you seem to forget that the reporters say he was CARRYING firearms for a contract job that he was working (legally). This dude was literally ALLOWED to legally carry firearms just a few blocks away from where he was stopped. And he said he stopped to "ask for directions" when he got arrested. :rolleyes:

If he was such a "big threat" that you seem to think he is... THEN WHY DID THEY RELEASE HIM SO QUICKLY just days after right-wingers tried to hold a Coup & overthrow the government???? :hmm: That makes no sense whatsoever.

"Yeah, we just increased all the Security... and brought in THOUSANDS of armed National Guardsmen... and we caught this suspicious fella with Glock & 500 rounds... soooooooooo... this seems like the very best time to let him go on his way, with the entire nation watching how we handle this situation."

:hmm:

Or maybe they checked him out & checked out his story & they realized he's not as big a threat as you seem to think he is.

Twitter temporarily suspends GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
Allan Smith 1 hr ago


Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for 12 hours on Sunday, saying that she has repeatedly run afoul of the company's misinformation policy.
"The account referenced has been temporarily locked out for multiple violations of our civic integrity policy," a Twitter spokesperson said.
Greene's most recent posts included one in which she made false claims about widespread voter fraud in Georgia in both the November election and in the Jan. 5 Senate runoffs and another series of tweets in which she repeated more debunked claims and called Georgia's elections officials "morons."
Twitter restricted those posts from further promotion and slapped them with warning labels.

An associate of Rudy Giuliani told a former CIA officer that a Trump pardon would 'cost $2 million': report

  • An associate of Rudy Giuliani's told a former CIA operative seeking a pardon that it would cost $2 million, The New York Times reported.
  • Giuliani disputed the ex-CIA officer's account, telling the Times he doesn't remember the meeting and that helping someone obtain a pardon would be a conflict of interest.
  • The Times reported that several people with connections to Trump have accepted large sums of money from people seeking pardons.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
An aide to Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, told an ex-CIA officer seeking a presidential pardon that it would "cost $2 million," The New York Times reported Sunday.

The revelation came as part of a wide-ranging Times report that describes how several people close to the president have collected large sums in exchange for helping people seek pardons.
John Kiriakou, the former CIA operative, was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2012 for disclosing the identity of a fellow officer involved in waterboarding. Kiriakou told the Times he had sought a pardon through other people with connections to the president - in order to carry a handgun and access his pension - but the topic came up during an unrelated boozy meeting with Giuliani and his associates at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC.
When Giuliani went to the restroom during the meeting, one of his associates said Giuliani could help, but "it's going to cost $2 million - he's going to want two million bucks," Kiriakou told the Times.
Kiriakou did not take them up on the offer, according to the Times.
"I laughed. Two million bucks - are you out of your mind?" Kiriakou told the outlet. "Even if I had two million bucks, I wouldn't spend it to recover a $700,000 pension."

Got...damn you fighting hard for the cac. Wrote a whole damn thesis
Is he a friend, cousin, brother, etc...of yours or something?

Dude a lot of people are let out during this covid period. You're acting as if he was let go and doesn't have to show up for court. He can't even come back in DC, except to see his lawyer, or for court.

Dude it's 2021 and he didn't have gps on his phone?

If he wa authorized to carry the firearm a few block away. Then why would he forget to leave his firearms at home if he can carry them a few blocks a way.
Btw I never said he was a big threat. That's a narrative you made up.

Like I said he was trying to be slick but got caught.




"Authorities didn't detail what Beeler provided, but when the credential didn’t match up with a list of people authorized to enter the perimeter, police investigated.


They said the truck Beeler was driving was decorated with firearm decals, including ones that said "Assault Life" and "If they come for your guns, give 'em your bullets first."

“I forgot that I had my weapon in my vehicle. You know, I'm a Virginia resident who has licensing and training in the state of Virginia for this firearm," Beeler said."

You are 100% correct. Front royal is like 45 minutes from DC and definitely knows the laws here. Not sure what his intent was but he knew.

What is so bad about universal healthcare in the U.S.? Why are Republicans so against it?

For forty years, the central platform of the GOP has been that government is the problem. Their entire anti-tax agenda has been based on the idea that money spent on social programs is wasteful and inefficient, and that government can’t do anything right.

This has become a self-fulfilling prophecy echoed by austerity movements around the world: you argue that government programs are ineffective, you use those arguments to cut the funding to those programs, less funding makes them less effective, and then you can point to the failure of those programs as evidence that you need to give them less money, to the cheers of the people whose taxes you’re cutting.

The problem is that you reach an end state which is pretty much where the US is right now, where you can no longer effectively cheer up people who have been driven into poverty by a failing society by cutting their taxes further.

Today’s Republicans know that if the US makes a turn towards social democracy they’re finished. That’s how they’ve gotten backed into having a racist populist demagogue as their party figurehead: they literally had nothing left to offer the American people.

A public healthcare system that’s better than the awful, expensive, chaotic, inhumane, monstrous one we have now will put the lie to 40 years of Republican ideology. The GOP already barely holds onto power as it is. If the country turns, they’re done.

I think this is the point we've reached. 40 years of Reaganomics has left so many in such bad shape. I think we may be on the tipping point of social democracy or anarchy.
