They killed Ashli Babbit as she was climbing a broken window to leave the building. Unbelievable, olde Man.

Fred...

Last night I had a brief conversation with an "ardent" lifelong democrat that is college educated. I spoke of the death of the young lady being unarmed and shot dead by the police. Their response was, "she shouldnt have been there".

Then Fox, Carlson and Hannity, both want to play nice. Breaking into Congress is horrible, being shot and killed while unarmed is ok.

Hannity and Carlson voted their paycheck. Bastards.

The young lady is dead.Those two bastards never QUESTIONED or mentioned the shooter.

Martial law or we are finished.

The enemy is NOT at the gates, they are inside and Trump needs to act, NOW. He wont and this country is gone.

You have a left leaning friend? I call bullshit. Xom

The young lady is dead.

She's like you, an Air Force vet.

I don't cry much, but the woman's death kills me.

Stacking the traitors like cordwood would be a totally apt way to handle the scumbags.

We must remember, the Founders were all men of wealth. They all owned property. Several of the signers of the Declaration of Independence died as paupers and/or had their homes burned by the British.

I recall an old story I heard about Washington. He was riding around on a recon of an area. There were many American troops nearby. A British patrol had the chance to shoot him, but they did not. It was very lucky for us that he survived until the end.

BTW, the Constitutional Convention in 1789 was a re-organization under international bankruptcy law. The British had been counterfeiting Colonial Script which made it worthless.

The reasons for the Convention were to rewrite the Articles of Confederation. But that idea was scrapped in favor of a new Constitution of which Thomas Jefferson was the principal author.

When the documents were presented to the Delegates, several refused to sign without a Bill of Rights. This led to the first 10 Amendments known as the Bill of Rights.

These very wise men gave us a blueprint for the future which they hoped would be a living document.

It has lasted now for nearly 250 years.

Only the advent of modern technology and computerized voting machines threatens to destroy what they have given us. ;)

You have a left leaning friend? I call bullshit. Xom

In my lifetime.

Wilke was a democrat

Eisenhower was neither.

Reagan was a democrat.

Trump was a democrat. (Lots of photos of Trump and Hillary)

The enemy is NOT at the gates, they are inside and Trump needs to act, NOW. He wont and this country is gone.

I think Trump should (and may still) employ the Insurrection Act. That we can agree upon. The thing is Trump asking people to leave D.C. and go homer because it's looking a little dangerous. He should be doing the exact opposite.

He should make a passionate plea to every able bodied and like minded person willing to stand for freedom to get their ass to D.C. right now and fuck the pitch forks. Bring something that penetrates kevlar !

The time is NOW and again I agree with your analysis in that respect. The U.S. Military needs to know that we Americans will support them in every effort they make that the political class have failed to make in restoring our voting RIGHTS and legitimate elections.

The time for trying to eliminate pain and suffering that will accompany the return of liberty in America is inevitable and that's fucking life.

Military intervention at this juncture is a means of limiting the death toll, but it will not completely eliminate it because the people running the scam are serious minded enemies of our freedom and will employ every tool in the communist manual for takeovers, and we just might have to kill those mother fuckers ! Again, that's life and we should live it to the fullest until our last breath.

The evil doers know who they are and so do we. The time is right and the threshold of pain has reached the level necessary to justify an all out revolution if they do not stop the steal and allow a full scale investigation into this past election.

If Trumps team have been talking shit they hang. If Pelosi and Schumer have been up to no good they hang. Fuck the nonsense and excuses and apologies ... it should be OVER and made so very public that no one will ever even consider similar behavior. We've played nice while being played for 100 years ... retribution is required for these scoundrels shitting all over out freedom and killing our fellow citizens of every race creed and color. They don't give a fuck how many of us die and they themselves are the racists. When we go to war (which is far too often) our enemies shoot to kill every red, white and blue colored U.S. Soldier without discriminating, and personally I'm sick of the bullshit and if I choose to be discriminating that's my choice.

C'mon Trump, call us out and sanction our back up or get the fuck out of the way. We're taking America back and people are going to get hurt. If Trump would call out for a voluntary force to insure election legitimacy and a fight broke out to the detriment and death of some people and charges against others, he could pardon us that survive the initial skirmishes !!!

Clearly, the deep state achieved the results they wanted since, after the violence, most of the congressmen and senators that would have objected refrained from doing so given Biden the presidency.

Mad World ... the dreams in which I die in are the best I ever had !

C'mon Trump, call us out and sanction our back up or get the fuck out of the way.

Looks like he's getting out of the way...

Deep State Forces Trump to Support Orderly Transition on January 20th

Posted on January 7, 2021 by State of the Nation

Trump falters, announces his surrender to Biden

stateofthenation.co/?p=46037

I think he's proven to be a Trojan horse.

C'mon Trump, call us out and sanction our back up or get the fuck out of the way. We're taking America back and people are going to get hurt. If Trump would call out for a voluntary force to insure election legitimacy and a fight broke out to the detriment and death of some people and charges against others, he could pardon us that survive the initial skirmishes !!!

Your last paragraph finally gets to the solution of our pain.

For days here I have stated, jail Supreme Court, House and Senate. Sort it out from there, one by one.

Also I have said repeatedly that, "Trump will not do what needs to be done".

NO...think...the key to the outcome of this was given to us when the SUPREME COURT...REFUSED TO HEAR THE TEXAS LAWSUIT.....WITHOUT DISSENT OR EVEN A COMMENT...How did that happen????Think about it, three of them Trump put on the Court...Not one dissent, not even a comment.

That day Trump was had, we were all had. It was all over that day as far as the "legal system" was concerned.

Legal scholars???? Gutless bastards, same as the House and Senate.

They killed Ashli Babbit as she was climbing a broken window to leave the building. Unbelievable, olde Man.

From the vid, it looked like she was within the large broken window frame of a door that was internal within the capital. The doors looked to me like they were barracaded with tables and such, but it certainly was not any window that lead to the outside of the building.

I do think it was antifa that lead this charade, but I don't think it's beyond reason that some honest Trump supporters were caught up in the aggressive excitement. That can happen to people who are not aware that they are being manipulated or incited by provacatuers. It's a timeless tactic and there will always be people who fall for it.

It seems to me this woman might have fallen into that trap, as climbing through a broken window as she appeared she was doing is high risk in that situation. That's not to exonerate whomever shot her, assuming it was any security guard.

the key to the outcome of this was given to us when the SUPREME COURT...REFUSED TO HEAR THE TEXAS LAWSUIT.....WITHOUT DISSENT OR EVEN A COMMENT...How did that happen????Think about it, three of them Trump put on the Court...Not one dissent, not even a comment.

To me, that's it in a nut-shell. Thank you.

Plain clothes????

Then Fox, Carlson and Hannity, both want to play nice. Breaking into Congress is horrible, being shot and killed while unarmed is ok.

I heard Carlson's take, and I didn't get that from him. I didn't hear Hannity's.

In the big scheme of things, her death is as important as the death of any other innocent person, which is to say, not much. Obviously it will be used and is factoring into the political response. Clearly to me it was Antifa leading the rioting on the capital and the goal of it was as plain as the sun at noon: Discredit Trump to the point where a 2024 run will be difficult or impossible.

And it seems this simple one-day riot, which could have been lead by as few as 2 dozen Antifa people (though hundreds is very possible as well) may have been successful given the accusations leveled against Trump of inciting it and the several resignations today from Trump's admin. Not to mention Loeffner or whatever her name is publicly backtracking on her symbolic role of objecting to the GA vote results.

This does have Antifa's fingerprints on it. Some of the video of scuffling with Capital police in the building strike me as something only those with prior experience in such things would do, and Trump supporters simply don't have that experience. Antifa does, however. And pipe bombs? Seriously? This reeks of a hit job by Antifa. And Bill Still reported the day or so prior that Antifa would be embedded in the pro-Trump organization.

He's a nameless fed or LEO right now, but not for long.

Notice there is NO identification of the shooter? Why is that?

Cop that killed black man is in prison for the rest of his life, we cannot have a double standard.

This cop is Federal and will never go to jail.

I recall an old story I heard about Washington. He was riding around on a recon of an area. There were many American troops nearby. A British patrol had the chance to shoot him, but they did not. It was very lucky for us that he survived until the end.

The long gun arm of the day was a musket, which was in no way accurate over long distances. It's the reason why some generals simply sat on horseback behind the lines while shooting was going on, trusting fate to keep them safe. That was before the sniping was possible, for the most part. Though I read once that the rifled barrel was actually experimented with by a British office during the Rev war, but he was fortuitously wounded in a battle and his advocacy of this high tech advance over the musket was inappropriately dismissed.

When the documents were presented to the Delegates, several refused to sign without a Bill of Rights. This led to the first 10 Amendments known as the Bill of Rights.

What we call the Bill of Rights actually preexisted in similar form for, I think, a few centuries in British law. It was largely adopted and was not an original idea by the founders.

Only the advent of modern technology and computerized voting machines threatens to destroy what they have given us. ;)

My theory: The longer a government persists, the greater the abuses that creep into the establishment. In Britain, it's gone farther than it has here because the gov has existed for a longer period of time. I think that's the philosophical reasoning behind the watering of the Tree of Liberty being necessary every 20 years or so.

But does that even work? In the Rev war, it was a case of organized colonies, via the Continental Congress, throwing off a *foreign* king. The founders experienced first hand the abuses of the crown and had a motive to create a new gov that was of, by and for the people. That's all well and fine, but the problem now is the prospect of throwing off a *domestic* king. That doesn't work as well as quite often those who might lead such an effort and be successful at it are the ones who are, by default, tasked with creating the new government. And even if such a person would be virtuous and benevolent, some of those around them do thirst for power and will do their best to corruptly obtain it under such a person or remove him entirely.

The fact is that power attracts those who crave it, while the truly good people that *could* be trusted with it are indifferent and acquiesce to those who savor it. So very often these internal revolutions fail. France might be a good example. They violently through off their king in the 1789 revolution, only to see Napoleon become de facto emperor of France before the war of 1812.

So what's the best realistic outcome for the USA now that Trump is out? I don't know. I may be better off being outside the country, but China is the biggest threat now, and if the dollar crashes then the USA empire also collapses, and that could leave the communist country free to just take over much of the world, including where I am. This country made a bad deal with China years ago and we're paying for it with oil and a crappy dam they built here that could collapse. My temptation is to go back to the same state of apathy I've had for the fed gov before Trump got into office. Just care about myself and let the USA, as a whole, reap what it has sown.

I think Trump should (and may still) employ the Insurrection Act. That we can agree upon. The thing is Trump asking people to leave D.C. and go homer because it's looking a little dangerous. He should be doing the exact opposite.

For my part, I just don't see this as having any effective positive outcome. Maybe I just give up too easily or maybe I'm just too pessimistic. I would not be offended with being charged with either.

People who do not wish to see cannot be forced to see. A revolution of the scale suggested would be forcing freedom upon people who do not want it. That never works. So many people out there stupidly feel Trump's "rude" non-politician speaking habits are worse for the country than communist influence from China. Obviously.

What I see as more plausible than revolution is secession. The main strategic problem is that the USA is just too damn big! One person's voice in a country of 330 million is no voice at all. That's why China is such a lost cause with their 1.3 billion people. The majority is oppressed with even slave labor, and yet no one there can do a damn thing about it. Everyone is afraid of their respective "higher ups" whether they be the local cop, Prez Xi, or everyone in between.

So many states filed that Texas court case challenging the election results in the 4 states. I would take that as a starting point. The USA should be broken into perhaps 6 different countries. That's what I see as ideal, but even 2 would be a big improvement. Obviously such a suggestion is far fetched on its face but, well, the collapse of the US dollar may provide the catalyst for it. The economic situation would play a role as certainly no state is going to secede without being on the hook for their share of the $27 trillion debt (not counting unfunded mandates which are some 8x more). But if the dollar crashes, which now seems more likely after this stupid lockdown, then it could be more feasible.

The digital age is also serving to decentralize everything so a decentralization of the fed gov itself may not be so far out of the question. There was Brexit. How about a Texit?

NO law in this country allows law enforcement to take a life that poses no immediate threat to themselves or others.

Agreed. She didn't qualify.

Notice there is NO identification of the shooter? Why is that?

I've yet to see even any questions on Fox about the identity of the shooter or questions about the justification of it.

Cop that killed black man is in prison for the rest of his life, we cannot have a double standard.

Oh, but we do. As some say, if the left didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.

This cop is Federal and will never go to jail.

We shall see if he's ever even identified. Or if he was even a cop at all. When I first heard of the shooting, I wondered if it was an Antifa job. looks like the guy's face is completely covered, strangely enough.

The long gun arm of the day was a musket, which was in no way accurate over long distances.

Washington was safer than his British counterpart. Brits had muskets but the Americans had the Kentucky long rifle which was much more accurate over long distances.

nationalinterest.org/blog...in-its-independence-33311

the Bill of Rights actually preexisted in similar form for, I think, a few centuries in British law.

That was the Magna Carta which was first written in 1215.

King John was forced to sign under threat of Civil War. ;)

the Kentucky long rifle

And that was the game changer for the Colonials.

Plus arms were being smuggled in by the French who were able to get past the British Naval blockade. ;)

King John was forced to sign under threat of Civil War. ;)

I recall reading he likened the document to an enslavement of the crown.

In the wind...Trump may go peacefully and 'IMMEDIATELY FORM A THIRD PARTY OF REMAINS OF TRUE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS THAT CARE TO JOIN..

Trump has the money and he has a true following of people that democrats and republicans do not have.

We shall see if he's ever even identified.

It's not headlines anywhere that's for sure. The U.S. Sun (American version of the Brit paper) give us this today but not much more.

"Police say Babbitt was shot by a plain-clothed officer on January 6 as she and other protesters stormed the Capitol building."

"The Capitol Police confirmed that one of their officers shot Babbitt and that they are on administrative leave."

he likened the document to an enslavement of the crown.

The Magna Carta gave people more rights than they had as mere subjects of the Crown. That is what irked the Royals so profoundly. ;)

that democrats and republicans do not have.

There is a part of the Democrat party that has a more conservative strain.

But then there are the RINOs and they are the snakes in the grass.

I saw a snake skin on the ground today when I was walking around. ;)

they are on administrative leave

That means they are flying a desk and still getting full pay.

The Police powers are fairly broad. If it is deemed that the officer has exceeded his authority then there is usually a police board that can review the matter and recommend any disciplinary measures. ;)

I think he's proven to be a Trojan horse.

aaaaand, i'd love to be so wrong! i guess we'll see. just ran across some interesting things.

Re Ashli Babbit: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

"...Her Twitter page contained references to QAnon, which is a fringe extremist right wing conspiracy theory movement that believes pedophiles are embedded in high-ranking governmental positions. “Nothing will stop us….they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light!” she wrote. She had retweeted QAnon accounts and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn..."

"...1. Ashli Babbitt, Who Was Shot in the Chest, Was a ‘High Level Security Official’ When She Served in the U.S. Air Force.

According to KUSI, Babbitt was “a 14-year veteran, who served four tours with the US Air Force, and was a high level security official throughout her time in service.”.."

"...Babbitt filled her social media with references to Trump and QAnon.

“I will be in DC on the 6th! God bless America and WWG1WGA,” she wrote on Twitter, making a QAnon reference. She wrote that the California governor had instituted “commie rule.” She responded to a tweet criticizing Nancy Pelosi’s $600 stimulus check support, writing, “It is a smack to the gut for everyone of us…you think ppl are waking up yet?… THEY DONT GIVE A F*** ABOUT US…all they want is power and money …. we must unite!”

She retweeted Georgia lawyer Lin Wood. In December, she wrote, “COVID IS A F****** JOKE!” In September, she wrote, “Trump 2020 landslide! Let freedom ring!”

Another woman wrote on Twitter, “Serious question: Has the government started a war against it’s own people?” Babbitt responded on December 20, “We are not their ppl… they are owned-bought, paid for, enslaved… you can’t sell your soul to devil without a price. They chose, so have we. Dark to light! Let freedom ring and god bless America! God knows, god sees and he is incoming! Nothing can stop what is happening.”..."

I keep hearing Q is a psy-op and maybe he/she/it is. I tend to think so, but what if??? Could Ashli have been on a mission for Trump?

Then there's Hal Turner, who it was revealed, was a government agent. The thing I remember most about him was that they threw him in prison after he made the mistake of revealing that Congress gave money to Israel, and Israel gave some back as campaign donations.

Did Team Trump stage the storming of The Capitol Building to retrieve evidence of congressional criminality form Pelosi’s and other offices?! Posted on January 7, 2021 by State of the Nation

HARD DISKS IN NANCY PELOSI’S OFFICES DOWNLOADED and STOLEN DURING CAPITOL MAYHEM

Hal Turner Radio Show

ALL THE DATA ON SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI’S OFFICE COMPUTERS WAS DOWNLOADED AND TAKEN OUT OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING TODAY BY SOME OF THE FOLKS WHO GOT IN DURING THE PROTESTS! Nancy’s secrets are . . . no more!

Among the people entering the US Capitol today were folks who made certain they had computer drives with them, to TAKE data off congressional computers and expose it to the public. Some of them are now reporting: Mission accomplished!

The Hal Turner Radio Show can now positively confirm that data from several computers inside Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s offices was among the data taken today!

Members of Congress, being the yellow-bellied cowards they are, fled for their lives when faced with invading Americans. They didn’t even logoff their computers!

Congressional staff, who are mostly barely socially functional geeks and nerds, ran away so fast, some of them left skid marks (as it dripped out of their underwear!)

Like their Congressional bosses, the staffers did not log off or shut down their computers as they ran like hell to get out.

Emails, data files, private congressional chat logs, and more, were grabbed from NUMEROUS congressional and Senatorial offices.

The secrets of those members of Congress are now, allegedly, secret no more.

And then there is Jewish-born, but now Christian, Steven Ben-Nun, not a Trump fan, has a Christian source inside the Pentagon, says Trump is one of "them", but in this video says to watch out for next week...says stuff might be revealed.

"Where the Nation is Headed"

The three-minute video, "US Capital under seige" is worth watching too, IMO. But, as I said, be forewarned, Steven thinks Trump is part of the swamp.

I'm not holding my breath for any of this, but it would be nice.

Update. I started on this this morning and got side-tracked. Just checked if there was any more news before posting and saw this:

Oh my goodness...

*** "Trump did NOT concede ***

Posted on January 7, 2021 by State of the Nation

Trump did NOT concede… Lin Wood explains “many traitors” to be arrested shortly… final list of confirmed traitors acquired last night during congressional vote...

"...“Many traitors will be arrested & jailed over the next several days,” wrote attorney Lin Wood in a Parler tweet he issued during the early morning hours, after Congress completed its final act of betrayal of America.

He also retweeted another statement from Parler user @StormIsUponUs who explained, “Sleep well tonight patriots. The constitutional process played out till the end, and Trump didn’t interfere once. You are going to love how this movie ends.”

Trump’s proclamation to disperse is a necessary legal step before invoking the Insurrection Act Yesterday Trump released a video that contained a “proclamation to disperse.” This was the video in which he told everybody to “go home in peace.”

This statement, it turns out, is a necessary step to invoke the militia or US armed forces to defend the republic.

10 USC Section 254 is called “Proclamation to disperse” and it explains:

Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.

That is exactly what Trump did yesterday. He then boarded Air Force One and flew to a military base in Texas, where he could be safe from any kinetic coup attempt in the swamp of Washington D.C. This was tweeted out by CodeMonkeyZ, citing MonkeyWerx:

Now, Trump is likely preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act or some other form of military authority to conduct mass arrests of the traitors who have betrayed this nation (which now includes VP Mike Pence, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell and many others). Understand that Trump didn’t know for sure who the traitors were until about 3 a.m. this morning, because that’s when the final votes came down in Congress, affirming the complete list of US Senators and House members who are complicit in the criminal coup against the United States of America.

Naturally every single Democrat in Congress was confirmed as a traitor. But most members of the GOP also joined the “traitor” list. The Gateway Pundit published the full list of treasonous GOP members this morning, all of whom voted against the objections to the Biden slate of electors:..."

There has always been hope for the future, but not now, not this time.

This country has fallen from within.

Thank goodness nothing serious happened while I was gone.

Don't think it can be fixed this time, from what I've seen so far.

Don't think it can be fixed this time, from what I've seen so far.

I'm hoping that it will be fixed. Either Trump structured a variety of Executive Orders and National Security Memorandums in advance of this moment in time for the purpose of exposing and trapping certain traitors and at the same time fired and replaced certain individuals to enforce those orders for a desired result or we have been lied to, manipulated and are being taxed without any representation. If Trump doesn't hand these criminals their asses then the American people have every right to do so.

My name is Doug Scheidt and I approved this message !

The text you're referring to is what a decent editor marks up as pronoun reference. What you read there is what some shitheel graduates of journalism schools cobble together. That's the crap you get along with other nonsense like unnecessary (and defensive) passive camouflage.

I work in the effects business. Here’s the difference between real police and fake police.

When a cop shoots someone, they cuff the suspect immediately after they are shot. They are also to render aid. These cops did nothing but stand around.

Two.

When cops have a trained medic in a crowd, rather than wait for the other paramedics, they will almost always allow a medic to help save the life of the person they shot for legal and liability reasons.

There is only one reason why you do not allow a medic through to treat someone. Because a medic would have said “WTF? SHE IS NOT SHOT.”

Three. There was a clear exit out down a flight of stairs. A CLEAR LINE OUT THE DOOR, and instead they carted her out past a whole bunch of people. This was for show. She had the flag around her neck. What colors were prominent? RED. Was the most prominent and would have looked like blood to a panicked observer.

I do not believe anyone was shot. Here’s yet another reason. There was not a drop of blood sprayed on the windows on the other side she crawled through. Ever see someone get shot? It sprays blood literally everywhere. If you don’t believe me, go to the gun range with a target that contains a big bag of red liquid. And wrap it in a set of pork ribs. That will give you an approximation of a human body. You will see meat and blood spray everywhere with a 9mm bullet which is what they all carry.

You can believe what you choose. I have watched the last 4 years go by with fraud after fraud. The fact that police stood down, and never shot anyone except in a controlled environment where the angle of the camera WAS ON THE PURPORTED VICTIM THE ENTIRE TIME.

I am telling you that if anyone believes that event was organic and just happened, and was caught on video by some astute and lucky observer, you would be sadly mistaken. I do not fucking believe anything I do not witness first hand especially if the media and my government are involved and nobody should either.

Standard English requires that a singular noun be used with a singular pronoun and a singular verb. Anybody who can't get that should just keep his mouth shut and stay away from a keyboard.

Furthermore, in standard usage a person (especially an adult) of unknown sex is assumed to be male: e.g. "The driver of the other car couldn't see because the sun was in his eyes."

Finally, singular pronouns applied to a mixed-sex group get a male pronoun: e.g. a teacher might say to his class, "Everybody should have his coat on already."

Feminists and their fans absolutely detest the last two norms above, and are working overtime to overthrow them. About 50 years ago I had two teachers -- both ardent feminists, in two different schools -- lament to us students how terrible was the English language's suppression of women.

including German, French

That will be a tough nut for feminists to crack, especially within languages that have deeply embedded noun genders - like German and French.

german.stackexchange.com/...ensive-as-opposed-to-frau

Why is Fraulein offensive?

It is offensive and outdated today because: It is a diminutive that does not exist in a male form at all and indicates that an unmarried woman is not a full adult while a married woman and an unmarried man are regardless of age and accomplishments. Jun 4, 2011

A major effort from feminist linguistics is achieving equality of men and women in spoken or written language. All terms that discriminate men and women should be avoided.

Fräulein (the diminutive of Frau) was especially criticized as it did not only discriminate in sex but also has a strong sexist association by the meaning of Fräulein being an unmarried woman. The use of Junggeselle for an unmarried man is used in a very different context and was never used when addressing someone. Therefore the use of Fräulein is strongly discouraged.
