ACting AG Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the prep steps to deploy DOJ and so-called "national" forces. There was no formal request from the CP, the Secret Service, or the Metro Police in fact, no external request
from any agency. The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special ops forces lurking behind the scenes.
On the morning of J6 most of these forces staged closer to downtown DC particularly after intel
was received indic a possible threat to FBI hq building or the FBIs Washington FO
The presence of these forces under the control of the AG and mostly op under plans that Congress and the Capitol Police were not privy to
A. Thanks for getting your booster Greg!
B. Yes I stayed in
C. I watched @dontlookupfilm and fucking loved it! For those of us who have been paying attention for at least the last 5 years, this is a must see! The undoubtable snark and asides, 1/
the attitude of Jason, the Djr character (Jason? Oh shit!) Streep was a perfect blend of Trump and Sarah Palin, and that blonde wig, which was her idea, was perfection!

E. Agree. I did not see this as a movie about climate change. I saw it as a movie about what could happen if we get another admin like the last one. Like, don't fuck around people, they can't handle nuclear war, or anything else that would destroy us. Look what they did in Syria!
In Nov 2008 PA Trooper Jay Splain was honored at a county LE banquet as a hero, the officer of the year. The reason: He had shot and killed a suicidal man who allegedly pointed an Uzi submachine gun at him

The 484-room facility with waterfront views is the target of a legal battle that pits the hotel owners against lenders over control of one of the last vestiges of the Ukraine power broker’s U.S. real estate empire.

Navarro says he and Steve Bannon were actually behind the last-ditch coordinated effort by rogue Republicans in Congress to halt certification of the 2020 election results and keep President Donald Trump in power earlier this year, in a plan dubbed the “Green Bay Sweep.”
At 1 p.m., @RepGosar and @tedcruz did exactly what was expected of them. It was a perfect plan. We didn’t even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it.”
This last-min maneuvering never had a chance of decertifying the election results on its own, a point that he quickly acknowledges. But their hope was to run the clock as long as possible to increase public pressure on Pence to send the electoral votes back to 6 contested states
PA Legislative Reapportionment Commission convened to approve Preliminary House and Senate Maps for Pennsylvania’s 203 House districts and 50 Senate districts. The Commission voted 3-2 in favor of the House map and 5-0 in favor of the Senate map. #PAHOUSE: davesredistricting.org/maps?utm_sourc…
