PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: Capitol Police face heat following mob breach.

The disturbing breach of security at the U.S. Capitol is raising serious questions about the safety of lawmakers and staff who work there, and drawing criticism toward the security services who are meant to keep them safe.

Images of a mob scaling walls, breaking down fences, and storming the seat of the country’s Democracy have led to criticism that the Capitol Police should have been better prepared for the possible assault.

“What the hell was law enforcement on Capitol Hill thinking by not having secured the Capitol today?” former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta asked on CNBC, calling it one of his great disappointments.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), asked Wednesday evening by MSNBC’s Joy Reid if Capitol Police made her feel safe, answered “I did until today.”

Bush tweeted in December that her goal was to “defund the police:”

As with the “Riots for thee, but not for me” leftists who cheered on the destruction in Minneapolis and Seattle until their own condos and Starbucks were trashed, Bush just got a first-hand look at the anarchy that happens when police are indeed defunded.

MAY? MAY? REALLY? YOU’RE GOING TO GO WITH MAY?  The vanishing vote problem may have struck again in Georgia.

Now tell me, why would they not do it if we let them get away with it the first time? Explain in small words, because frankly it doesn’t make any sense.

TRUMP DIDN’T FEED THE BEAST, YOU CORRUPTOCRAT. YOU WAS NO TYRANT, THOUGH IT MIGHT BE IDIOTIC TO LET LEFTY GOVERNORS DESTROY THEIR OWN STATES AND LOCK DOWN THEIR OWN PEOPLE. BUT THAT WAS THE OPPOSITE OF TYRANNICAL. YOU KNOW THAT MEME GOING AROUND? THAT THE LEFT WAS NOT AFTER TRUMP, BUT AFTER US? TRUMP WAS ONLY STANDING IN THE WAY?

I think that meme was EXACTLY backwards.  Trump was all that stood between us and these people. They’ve removed him, and they’re going to regret it.

By the way, if the protesters had got in today while these idiots didn’t run, you know what would have happened? they would have yelled at them, like the people yelling at Romney on the plane. That’s it.

After this ridiculous behavior and loud denouncing?  I doubt that’s all that will happen next time. And they’re guaranteeing a next time.  If you decide to bother call your congress critter and inform them that l’etat is not them, and that disabling the fire alarm doesn’t prevent fires.  I doubt that they’ll listen. When government is divorced from representation and knows it, it tends to ignore the people.  But you know, it’s a neighborly thing to let them know what they’ve done.

REALLY:  In DC, Oligarchy Beats Democracy Every Time.

And you know what?  When Democratic Party leaders find excuses for left-wing violent protesters and condemn right-wing protesters, one can understand their motives. They see left-wing protesters as being “on their side” and the right-wing protesters as “the enemy.”

When Republican Party leaders find excuses for left-wing violent protesters and condemn right-wing protesters, it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that they, too, see the left-wing as “on their side” and the right-wing as “the enemy.”

AND THIS AND WORSE NONSENSE (BASICALLY IN THE SERVICE OF CHINA, THE WORST POLLUTER AROUND) IS WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING AGAINST. THIS:  Are Climate Nuremberg Trials On The Way?

But no. Oh no. You know, I do wonder why the Sons of Liberty bothered to attack the British. And why the founding fathers had an army.  I mean, couldn’t they have asked the tyrant, politely, to just remove the foot from their neck and give them representation.

Oh, wait, they tried that, just like we tried the courts. Curiously, it didn’t work.

It’s almost like those in power don’t care what you say, if you can’t do anything to remove their power.

No, I don’t like where this is going. Thanks for asking.

But here’s the thing: We should have been a lot louder, a lot longer ago. We weren’t. And we tolerated the petty betrayals of our nominal side.  And that has led us here. Which I don’t like. Are we doing to continue believing the left and condemning anyone who dares fight them?  Including yes Orangemanbad — much uncouth. Very mean tweets. Wow, wow, wow — who is not even half as forceful as he should be?
How do you plan to explain to your kids and grandkids that they must eat the lion steak, because you went all the way to the zoo to break in and get a piece of zoo animal and there might be no more meat for years?

AGAIN, THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ELSE COULD AMERICANS DO? WHAT OTHER AVENUE DID THEY LEAVE US?  The crowd in the Capitol.

For years I’ve told the left that when they used fraud to win, they’d broken the feedback mechanism.  It didn’t mean their ideas were winning, that people agreed with them, or that they were safe. It was the equivalent of breaking the fire alarm and thinking they were safe from fires.
What I never expected was to hear the right condemn the people trying to break out of the burning building, because they don’t hear any fire alarms.

THIS IS THE ROOT AND CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE: One of these things is not like the other.

The same government that scrutinizes all our actions on a daily basis and presumes we’re guilty until proven innocent, when questioned by the people about the obvious flaws and issues of the elections refused any examination and told us that everything was fine, or if not, we had no standing. We should just trust their word over our lying eyes.

Next thing you know, they’ll tell us to eat cake.

WHICH THEY ALWAYS MEANT TO DO LIKE THIS, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OUT OF PUBLIC SCRUTINY. DON’T FOOL YOURSELVES OTHERWISE:  Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Other GOP Lawmakers Drop Plans to Object After US Capitol Protest.

That’s perfect, my pretty.  People were objecting to fraud, so we’re going to let the fraud stand. To punish them for (and yes, in this case LARGELY peacefully) protesting the fraud.

I mean who do these hobbits think they are, to question your excellencies?

And you think this will go well? What a very interesting choice.  You see I’m a writer, and I’ve read a lot of history to know what is plausible.  Let’s just say you’d need a major author intervention for this to end well.

MORE PEARL CLUTCHING. MR. PENCE, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED DENOUNCING THE FRAUD THAT CAUSED PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT NOTHING STOOD BETWEEN THEM AND ENSLAVEMENT TO THE CHINESE EMPIRE BUT WE THE PEOPLE?  Congress Reconvenes, Pence Denounces Violence.

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANTIFA IN THE CROWD. MAYBE. ALL THE CASES I’VE SEEN BROUGHT UP HAVE BEEN DISPROVED. BUT MOSTLY WHAT THERE WAS WERE RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT AMERICANS AND ONE OF THEM DIED FOR IT:  Woman Fatally Shot Inside US Capitol Identified as Air Force Veteran Ashli Babbit: Reports.

And for the record, no, I will not condemn the protesters. Should they have gone into the Capitol? I don’t know. Why shouldn’t they have? It’s not like they went and hanged the corruptocrats using their own intestines as ropes. They might — or might not. Really, do you trust the reporting? In this time, in this place? — have broken windows. And then walked, carefully between the ropes? Sure, why not. Let’s roll with that narrative.  They might have made a mess of Nancy Ice Cream Pelosi’s office. Maybe. Again…. reporting?
You know what they didn’t do? They didn’t kill anyone. That was reserved for someone who shot through a door sidelight at a protester.  You know what else they didn’t do? Use live ammo.  You know what else they didn’t do? Trample the flag, which the capitol police did, while being begged not to. You know what else they didn’t do? shine lasers in cops eyes, set fire to the building, loot it, or shoot fireworks at people.

Spare me your pearl clutching. How do you propose we get our republic back if demonstrations are “rude?” When they committed blatant fraud in two elections, right before our eyes, and thereby abolished the representative part of the republic, and with it the constitutional part, what are you going to do? Write them strongly worded letters? Or wait till they fraud 2022 just as blatantly, while you stand around being utterly stunned?

It’s time to ditch the Marquis de Queensberry rules.  It’s time to stop fighting with our feet in a bucket. Yes, what happened today was very very bad. Yes, it means that what comes next will probably come with a butcher’s bill. I have sons in military age. I’m not thrilled.

BUT the fault is not of the protesters. The fault is of the corruptocrats, yes, including the Supreme Court Justices, every one of them who found it easier to roll over for fraud and not let the ridiculous level of fraud in the elections have its day in court.

If you’re going to clutch pearls and tut tut do so at those who passed the buck, refused to do their jobs or sided with the left in the hopes of being eaten last.

The angry Americans, many of them despoiled out of their livelihoods by the elite’s Covid-19 fun and games designed to destroy the economy so they could steal the election, are the least guilty here. It’s quite likely — if G-d watches out for fools, children, and the United States of America — they’ll be held up as heroes some day.

Perspective, please.

POLITICAL VIOLENCE FLASHBACK: A Bernie Bro Shot Steve Scalise. “This is what happens when the likes of Eric Holder, Cory Booker, and Maxine Waters preach confrontation, intimidation, and getting in the faces of opponents.”

Also:

“Rodney Robinson, a social studies teacher in Richmond, Virginia, was named the 2019 National Teacher of the Year on Wednesday by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).”

Flashback: Bernie Bro James T. Hodgkinson, Attempted Assassin Of Steve Scalise, Already Being Erased From History. And additional examples of leftist violence and eliminationist rhetoric at the link.

Because the press is pretending that political violence in America started today.

As a friend on Facebook notes, people have warned for years that the open support for Antifa from much of our political establishment would lead to a reaction from the right. Right-wing protesters used to clean up after themselves.

UPDATE: From a friend:

Two groups of people (call them A and B) both see themselves as victims and have grievances they feel aren’t being heard.

Both resort to violence.

Dem reactions to group A:
“People will do what they do”
“Tell me where it says protests have to be peaceful”
“Don’t judge a whole group by the actions of a few”
“America is racist”

Dem reactions to group B:
“They are traitors”
“Violence is never acceptable”
“Arrest any people who agree with them in Congress”

This doesn’t go unnoticed.

Indeed.

OPEN THREAD: Speak your minds.
