US Election 2020

I think a few knew what they were doing, but I still think the most likely story (from groups) is just everybody is pissed.

The government though, they let this happen without a doubt.

You mean Trump let this happen? Yep, I'd agree with that.

In a way, you are right about this being let to happen, but via whose motivation is unclear for the moment. It was clearly known that a large angry protest by potentially armed right-wing nutters would happen when the electoral college results were being read out. Little serious law enforcement protection for the Capitol building was provided.

I thought Trump was incompetent...

Yes Trump, but he isn't the only one. If you were in charge of security, would you just let it go like this?

JimC, who the hell DIDN'T know? I would dress in a nuns habit, and a Biden tshirt, and drink one in a proud boys bar. No worry (or little worry)

I wouldn't have gone anywhere near this 'event'. The fucking PLANS were for both PB and Antifa to dress as the other, in order to mayhem. That's barely scratching the surface of the dangerous.

Knowing you have been 'protest-positive' in the past, I'll go out on a limb here and bet that you didn't even go to DC for this.

It must be an Australian term. Very common here.

Yeah, I figured. --weirdos!

You're gonna love this - I never did watch the video. Just remembered he said this.

Do you know who he claims to be?

Has anyone been scolded yet for pointing out how absurd it is for Americans to have acted this way on behalf of Trump, rather than for themselves or others for countless legitimate grievances?

This sort of superficiality plays into the narrative of the immorality of the West.

I think the leftie is engaging in both-sidesing fabulism, but maybe he's got special sources. The Proud Boys claimed that they would be deploying in small groups 'incognito.' I'm unaware of any antifa who planned to pose a Proud Boys.

'Far-right group Proud Boys claim they will attend January 6 DC rally "incognito" and wear all-black to blend in with antifa protesters'

Members of the far-right group, the Proud Boys, will head to Washington, DC to rally for President Donald Trump on January 6 - the day on which Congress is scheduled to meet to finalize the 2020 presidential election results.

Leaders from the group have shared with their followers that they intend to attend the rally "incognito" and wearing "ALL black."

The Proud Boys' chairman, Enrique Tarrio, revealed on Parler that "the Proud Boys will turn out in record numbers on Jan 6th but, this time, with a twist."

The twist, Tarrio said, is that they will forgo their traditional uniform for something inconspicuous.

He wrote: "We will not be wearing our traditional Black and Yellow."

The group's standard uniform is black and yellow Fred Perry polo shirts, military armor, and MAGA hats.

Instead, the chairman explained: "We might dress in all BLACK for the occasion."

Followers of antifa, an anti-fascist movement, typically wear all-black clothing.

The Proud Boys intend to take further steps to blend in with other protesters.

Tarrio wrote: "We will be incognito and we will spread across downtown DC in smaller teams."

Joe Biggs, an organizer for the group, confirmed the alleged plans on his Parler account.

In a video, he said: "We will not be attending DC in colors. We will be blending in as one of you. You won't see us. You'll even think we are you. "

As wannabe SA, they don't seem to have distinguished themselves in the action of the day. None of the show-offs on camera in the Capitol were in all black, nor in Proud Boys colors. Seems like they hung back and skulked around outdoors.

I don't trust either the post from the PB, OR the anifa instructional images (can't find them, they said dress as maga, or even police, reverse maga hats for ID...)

Everybody knew, and Trump welcomed what was about to happen. More than that, he encouraged them.

Trump also tweeted this on Dec 19, 2020: Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" (My emphasis)

And this on Dec 31, 2020: "JANUARY SIXTH, SEE YOU IN DC!" (his allcaps)

The House of Representatives just voted down the Pennsylvania objection by voice vote after the 'debate'. It clearly lost, but of course the knave from Pennsylvania who sponsored the objection called for a head count. That's going to take the better part of an hour.

Then the senators will trudge back across the Capitol and Pence will climb back up to the chair, and the counting will resume. The next disputed state is Wisconsin, but the Trumpist stooges may have run out of their feculent wind by then--it'll be well after 3 AM in Washington.

An hour just to give each other head? Do they have to do it one by one? Can't they go daisy-chain?

[Sean Hayden]

I expected them to give up already. I wonder if they imagine they'll earn bonus points for continuing even now. If so then they really haven't been paying attention to Trump.

The show they're putting on is for the Trumpists, not Trump.
