In a rare moment of bipartisanship, the House and Senate have passed by unanimous consent a bill that would give the chief of the US Capitol Police unilateral control to ask for support from the National Guard or federal law enforcement in the event of an emergency.

 

Quote

"January 6th showed us that every minute counts during an emergency," said Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota in a statement after the legislation cleared the Senate. "This legislation will help ensure the Capitol Police Chief has the authority needed to call for reinforcements at the Capitol swiftly during emergencies."

Sen. Roy Blunt similarly touted the legislation as way to address "unnecessary delays" when "swift, decisive action" is needed. "This bipartisan bill addresses a major security challenge that was evident on January 6th, and is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen Capitol security moving forward," the Missouri Republican said in a statement.

The District of Columbia is seeking damages from the two far-right groups for allegedly conspiring to terrorize the city with the violent attack on Jan. 6.

 

Quote

The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers already are facing civil lawsuits stemming from the events of Jan. 6 — one filed by members of Congress, another by police officers. Like in those cases, the groups are accused in the district's civil suit of violating the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, a law that was passed after the Civil War to try to protect Black citizens from violence and intimidation.

 

Quote

"Our intent, as we indicated, is to hold these violent mobsters and these violent hate groups accountable, and to get every penny of damage that we can," Racine said. "If it so happens that we bankrupt them, then that's a good day. When hate is dispatched and eliminated, that's a good day."

The idea that the US is near the verge of collapse (in some form or another) is getting more coverage internationally, and people are starting to talk about how countries should prepare.

It makes sense - the US, by and large, still more or less dictates the world economy. We go in the shitter, so does everyone else to varying degrees.

As a planning the uncertainty is annoying. I hate not knowing where I stand.

 

Also my eyes rolled on the author's hard on for the "center". Like "third way" policies aren't in large part what got us to this place.

Former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro discusses his involvement in the plan to get Mike Pence to block the 2020 election certification.

 

My takeaways from this were: 1). Peter Navarro's brain is fucking fried. He's insane; 2). Trump had no idea what the fuck was going on behind the scenes; 3). I kind of believe Navarro when he says that if the Capitol riot never happened that the Green Bay Sweep that they had outlined may have worked and they will arguably be more emboldened and more capable of pulling something similar off in 2024.

This bill does nothing, put the DC Guard under US Northern Command, not the Army Secretary.

Ironically it is largely the economic model and incentive structure of big social media platforms like Twitter that has helped augment, propagate and popularize paranoid conspiracy theories (and an environment in which they thrive and multiply) that are hyper-targeted to people’s political preferences.  Big Tech has largely created this situation—possibly not intentionally so, but at this point intentions don’t count for much.

 

And until this economic model and its incentives are changed, I don’t see an infrastructure for remedying the situation developing.  Not in the West, at least.  China’s managed to avoid it so far through mass censorship and by leveraging the advantages of their model of government. (don’t know how sustainable that is)

Why would they do that says man mostly responsible for empowering those who would do that

 

McConnell out here thinking that smooth brains like MTG, Hawthorn, Madison, Beobert (I cannot be assed to learn how to spell her name) and the dunces that show up for Turning Point USA super spreader events are in on the joke like Limbaugh. Gonna be a rude awakening for him when they start chanting for him to be hung.
