Yeah, who's gonna take on all those National Guardsmen anyway.
They canceled the Amtrak thing but only moved the rehearsal of inauguration out a day to Monday. Hell maybe just to give everyone a chance to think again how they want to do the inauguration. Biden's nominee to head up DHS just dropped her getting-ready-for-confirmation prep to join the security honchos from FBI and Secret Service who are charged with ensuring security for the event.
I think there are still concerns about allegiances and potential idiocies at the planned inauguration. Question is not being seen as backing down to domestic terrorists worth the risk to the safety of the principals and invited guests at public ceremonies. Everyone from congress gets to bring one guest and they had been told by Pelosi to RSVP by tonight, so maybe they need time to vet them all for this particular inauguration, "all things considered".

I read an article yesterday saying the leaders of these "patriot" groups are telling their members to sit this one out. Leader of the Proud Boys actually said "Time to chill."

Jesus fuck. My roommate, a man my senior and fellow left leaner like me who I respect on multiple levels, believes the 9/11 conspiracy was completely pulled off by the US government. He's also mostly removed from politics beyond occasional MSNBC and CNN exposure, but he'll completely deep dive on nutritional facts on vegetarianism (oddly not vegan) vs. meat consumption. He also highly enjoys keeping up with local politics, including just for fun watching current local government zoom meetings. When I point out the evils of the Democrat party he seems shocked to offended.
It completely grates on my nerves that he is incapable of taking the actions of the Trump administration for the last 4 years and specifically the last few months at face value. He thinks it's all an elaborate orchestrated scheme, the left version of the deep state. Fuck!

I believe it is "KKKaren".
I would be more comfortable with it if his employer had denounced his actions and committed to keeping him away from their Boeing 737 until the inauguration.

Surely there are exceptions though. A common sense one would seem to be an arrest related to breach of the Capitol in aid of disrupting the business of a sitting government and being in possession of zip ties on that occasion (as opposed to a Starbucks coffee cup or 20oz of bottled water).
I suppose Mr. ShowedUpWithZipTies is under surveillance though? Some poor sod in the FBI who had messed up and was recently assigned to look out for Yeti in the northern reaches of Minnesota has probably been pulled off that duty and is now parked in a car outside wherever Mr, Zip lives.

Justice would be to require him to carry his zip ties behind his back, cinched snugly around his wrists. I would be happy to release him on those terms.

He has to wear an ankle monitor and his internet access is restricted. Sounds like his ex-wife called the FBI and he also turned himself in. The prosecution really didn’t want him released, so those indicating racial bias from the Texas judge are probably correct.

Well well well, look at another decision made by this judge:

If you‘re a white supremacist terrorist, THIS is the judge you want handling your case!
WTF?!?!?!
Man Gets Light Sentence For Hate Crime After Threatening Black Neighbors With Noose
A judgment has come down.

I know it's a thing that doesn't exist for some people ( obviously those the judge keeps giving lighter sentences to ), but clearly it's something in the system.Well well well, look at another decision made by this judge:

A guy who was stopped at a DC checkpoint yesterday was apparently overoptimistic about his chances of attending the inauguration.

What's weird about the piece is that only the headline refers to the detainee holding inauthentic credentials...
A man with a gun arrested by Capitol Police at a security checkpoint calls it an ‘honest mistake.’ (Published 2021)
The man was arrested on Friday with more than 500 rounds of ammunition in his truck, the police said. He told a reporter he was heading to a security job in Washington and got lost.

Wonderful piece in today's (Jan 16) Guardian about how some of the US Capitol rioters (or insurrectionists) claim that they were "listening to the President", but, now that they have been arrested, seem stunned that they "are facing a prison sentence" and are pleading with the President to pardon them (before his inglorious term of office comes to an end next week).
Does Mr Trump pardon "losers"? Or, even allies?
Or, is he more likely - with his characteristic lack of gratitude - to throw these "useful idiots" (Lenin's term) under the proverbial bus, by turning a deaf ear to their pleas, as he sets about busying himself with the details of packing prior to his departure from the White House?

I posted this elsewhere, commenting on her two-words-gap-three-words-gap manner of speaking and was informed that she is just verbally racking the slide over and over again, spilling shells all over the floor.
