CNN Says 'White Men' are the Biggest Terror Threat in US

[Farfromgeneva]

Where are the helicopters, tear gas, rubber bullets and unmarked police state troopers?

Oh, I forgot. these are white people storming the US Capitol, not minorities peacefully protesting in the streets.

I suspect that they will get patches at their next militia jamboree...

The DC NG helo crew was disciplined & 2 senior officers blamed each other for the miscommunication in the order to the helo crew.

Who is responsible for security of the Capitol building.? The picture you've been seeing of the NG on steps were at the Lincoln Mem.

I’ve had about enough of your foolish chain-of-command “I served holier than thou” schtick.

Judging by your posts here you are at best a collaborator if not a downright seditionist. Face the demographic reality: the age of white male dominance is done.

I called him out a few years ago. His mask slipped. He is just fighting to regain 1950’s USA.
Give youself a merit badge, Dudley Doright.

We should also never forget old salt’s “money changer” slur against a forum member of Jewish heritage. Just terrible.

Was his religion established ? ...not that it mattered, since there's nothing anti-semetic about "money changer" except in your fevered imagination. obtw -- Jesus was a Jew.

So the money changers were actually a legitimate service of the Temple, helping people fulfill their religious duties — not whatever debased slur has entered into popular, ignorant misunderstanding.” Sounds plausible, and if so, my apologies to the Association of Temple Money Changers.

Yeah....that's not how I read the quip from Old Salt. He was giving the poster a bit of grief for being a finance guy. And the other poster is, indeed, a finance guy.

There was a turd at attorneys too. He thinks he’s jesus instead of a scumbag hiding behind some past that’s already been paid for by society.

Just a past his prime, anachronistic, dense person who has one foot in the ground. Angry the world passed him by and has sold his past experience for more than its worth and has nothing left in life to cash in anymore.

Money changer is a anti Semitic usage in this case even if I wasn’t. Let’s not let someone off the hook for using specific loaded terms when there’s a billion other ways to do the same thing that could’ve avoided that.

It’s the Trump administration that controls deployment of the DC National Guard. Even after his thugs invaded the Capitol, Trump refused to deploy the DC National Guard.

Defense and administration officials said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, who approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard. It was unclear why the president, who incited his supporters to storm the Capitol and who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order. President Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the events. It required intervention from the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, among other officials, the person familiar with the events said.

How many here suspect that Trump wanted the mob to continue occupying the Capitol past January 20?

DocBarrister

That's another BS NYT fabrication. The DC NG would not deploy without the President's approval, which Trump has delegated to Sec Def Miller.
VP Pence, along with Congressional leaders, participated in the request.

https://www.khq.com/elections/acting-se ... 092f6.html

The Sec of the Army appeared with the DC Mayor at her 5pm press conf & debunked that NYT story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... story.html

The decision to deploy the D.C. Guard was up to Miller. Though he discussed the situation with Vice President Pence, it was Miller who ultimately authorized the full deployment, according to a senior U.S. official, who noted that the vice president doesn’t have the power to make that decision because he isn’t in the chain of command.

Because D.C. is not a state, the D.C. Guard answers to the president, but he has delegated authority to command the capital’s guardsmen to Miller and Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy — two of the top officials at the Pentagon.

Not delegated abrogated responsibility. Very different thing. “But but I wasn’t my words”. Whaaaa

[Farfromgeneva]

Zero tolerance for lousy behavior. Get what you give.

For my part, I think these folks had every right to peaceably protest in the public streets and parks, but when they forcibly and illegally breached the federal property to shut down a Constitutional process, those protestors deserved a swift and if necessary harsh response to prevent such insurrection from succeeding, and now they deserve to be tracked down and arrested and pay a severe price under the law.

It's not about how stupid the protest was in the first place, they had every right to vent...but those who crossed the line to sedition and insurrection need to be held fully accountable...and there's a lot of video evidence.

I took the same position with regard to the criminal behavior in any other riot.

#1 spot on MD. These people today became an exact carbon copy of the people on the other side they have been so critical of. Truly disgusting behavior.

Evidently “carbon copy” means something different in your world.

Not really crusty. It means they employed the same tactics the Antifa folks used when all of their "peaceful" marches turned into slug fests. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This group would have fit in nicely with their fellow anarchists in Seattle and Portland. The rednecks did up the ante a bit. They raided the capital, the antifa folks only took over a police station and laid claim to several blocks of Portland as their own personal little nation. It was bound to happen. The rednecks tore a page out of the ANTIFA playbook and injected it with steroids. There is one advantage with the rednecks. In a day or 2 they have to go back to work so they can pay for their pick up trucks.

Crusty?

Every pizza has a crust. I think you can figure it out from there.

What about cheese stuffed crust (which I’ve never had seems gross)?

[Typical Lax Dad]

You use “money changer” or know people that do? I don’t.

Admittedly, no. I'm just telling you how I read the comment made to a finance guy. I wouldn't put up with anti semitism.

Sorry, this is an extremely well-known anti-semitic slur, not used about 'finance' guys but rather Jewish bankers, merchants, whoever Jewish.

Knowing this, Salty's doubling down with the 'Jesus was a Jew', though the trope is based on the story of Jesus over turning the tables in the temple.

Old Schmidlap routinely quotes bible passages.

Exactly. He purposely chose “money changer” and it has nothing to do with Jesus.... rather, it has everything to do with the “money changers” that run wall street and have ruined the country.... that has been his position. I believe he brought up Wall Street selling out the country within the past two weeks. Where is George Soros?

And at least one reader of TalkingPointsMemo this morning has made that exact point: this was a White mob agitating for a White cause, and they got treated with kid gloves instead of all getting shot.

On Riots And Race

Yielding the floor to TPM Reader BK:

I am a longtime reader and Prime Member and I consider your work to be invaluable. To put it in fast food industry terms I am a heavy user, checking your site literally dozens of times a day and night.

Like many Americans, I watched the events in Washington DC unfolding just a couple of miles from my home where we were under curfew.

However, unlike the breathless TV pundits, my reaction wasn’t one of “shock,” or “disbelief.” No, my reaction: I was enraged at what I watched. But none of this was shocking or unreal: it was entirely and utterly predictable.

I’ll write more on that at another time, but this morning I want to address one particular aspect of this story that very few want to talk about: race and white privilege.

And frankly, as much as I adore TPM, in my opinion, this is one area where you have a blind spot, or a lack on interest. I am not sure why, but it is one area where TPM is just like every other new organization/talking head on TV. There is simply no way to cover Trump, his mob, and what happened yesterday without talking about the racism flowing through our society and the racism that has been mainstreamed into our media.

If I see one more story asking “how could the capital police have failed so badly” I will scream. The answer is simple, indisputable, and disgusting. The Capitol was breached because these where white people with a WHITE CAUSE. Period. Can anyone who is not a complete denier/loaded with some other agenda assert that any large crowd of people of color, or BLM, or “AntiFa” would have made it within 100 yards of THE FIRST barricade??

We know they wouldn’t, because we saw the police presence this summer for the social justice protests. We have seen the State’s response to the BLM protests for the past 5+ years: rubber bullets, gas, batons. An overly militarized response. I mean, in the past 3 weeks police in Ohio have killed two people of color for minding their own business because the police feel they defied orders or posed some minimalist pretextual threat: a cell phone and a sandwich. But this mob of white people can storm the Capital with what appears to be only a single shot fired in defense of the building? Police fire more rounds than that at motorists of color for no apparent reason. Just ask the family of Bijan Ghaisar.

In the same way that a white man can load an RV full of explosives and detonate it in the heart of the tourist/commercial center of the 24th largest city in the country and yet not be referred to as terrorist, or the event a suspected terrorist attack, the answer is race. And until that is tackled head on, there will be no “unifying” the country, and yesterday, I am afraid, is just the start of what these domestic terrorists with their Trump flag will do. Because they know the consequences are simply not that severe. Because they know they carry a privilege that reinforces to them this is their land, and so the slight of not having their chosen leader must be acted upon.

[MDlaxfan76]

Rough, but that's my read as well on what went down.

I think there was also complicity at the top in the slow response from the Federal folks.
