I already proved you wrong, Pelosi is not in charge of C*****l p****e or security of capitol buildings. Lots of people ran for their lives, including VP Pence. There is hours and hours of video that shows it if you ever get enough courage to watch.

Mitch McConnell has as much authority over capitol security as Pelosi does.

At least make an attempt to educate yourself!

I'm a retired federal employee, worked 30+ years for old Uncle Sam, spent a good bit of that in DC and I guarantee I know a lot more about the workings of our government and the District of Columbia than you or the majority of the uneducated right here on OPP do

You are being ridiculous. We have acquired significant and specific knowledge of the events of J****** 6 and that knowledge is available to anyone that wants to take the time to learn. It is to the point now that anyone trying to say Pelosi is responsible for what happened at the Capitol is simply an i***t.

Trump, Meadows, Giuliani, Eastman, now those guys were all directly involved along with a number of republican congressmen, the Oathkeepers and P***d B**s, and a whole bunch of simply stupid Trump wackos who believed his big lie and thought they were following him to the capitol. Trump wanted to join them in breaking into the capitol, but his secret service detail refused to take him, instead bringing him back to the West Wing.

There is little doubt at this point what happened, the picture becomes clearer by the day, and there will be many people in the Trump world that will be going down with Donny boy for a long time. Anyone that is associated with Trump will likely be negatively impacted to some degree. It is going to get really ugly for people like you who refuse to see the t***h. Trump is the biggest t*****r this country has ever had. Benedict Arnold and Richard Nixon were boy scouts in comparison.

It is really way past time for you to stop being the turtle, get your head out of your shell and take a good honest look around.

One DMF who h**es Trump with a passion is gonna lecture us on Capitol security for the J*** 6 e******n certification.
Taking his cues from CNN, no doubt.

25,000 Trump supporters attended that event, less than 1100 actually assaulted the Capitol building.
And, the assault began BEFORE president Trump had finished his speech 10 blocks away.

FYI: Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 15, US Constitution:
The Congress shall have power . . . . To provide for calling forth the M*****a to execute the Laws of the Union,
suppress i**********ns, and repel invasions.

Trump Pentagon first offered National Guard to Capitol four days before J*** 6, 2021

Official C*****l P****e timeline validates Trump administration's account, shows Democrats' fateful rejections of offers. "Seems absolutely illogical," one official wrote about security posture hours before r**t began.

The Pentagon first raised the possibility of sending National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol four days before the J*** 6 r**ts, setting in motion a series of rejections by C*****l P****e and Democrats that left Congress vulnerable as threats of violence were rising, according to government memos that validate Trump administration officials' long-held claims.

An official timeline of the J*** 6 tragedy assembled by C*****l P****e shows that a Defense Department official reached out to a C*****l P****e deputy chief, Sean Gallagher, on Jan. 2, 2021 to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a consultation with then-Chief Steve Sund.

"Carol Corbin (DOD) texts USCP Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher, Protective Service Bureau, to determine whether USCP is considering a request for National Guard soldiers for J****** 6, 2021 event," the timeline reads in the lone entry listed for Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021.

The following morning, the timeline states, "Gallagher replies to DOD via text that a request for National Guard support not forthcoming at this time after consultation with COP Sund."

You can read the full police timeline here:

The rejection came as the C*****l P****e department was beginning to change its assessment, recognizing that the massive Trump rally to protest the November 2020 e******n results planned for J*** 6, 2021 had the potential for violence.

Earlier analyses suggested such violence was unlikely and the J*** 6 event was likely to be “similar to the previous Million MAGA March rallies in November and December,” police records show

For instance, C*****l P****e had determined that as of Dec. 16, 2020 there was "no information regarding specific disruptions or acts of civil disobedience targeting this function."
File
december 16 intel report.pdf

But by late December, C*****l P****e internal emails and documents show, information began flowing in that some groups expected to attend were talking on social media or fringe websites about tactics like blocking tunnels leading to the Capitol.

On Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, just hours after Gallagher rejected the Pentagon's initial offer, the C*****l P****e issued a new and darker security assessment to its commanders and executives and to the two political appointees in Congress responsible for security, the House and Senate sergeants at arms, the timeline shows.

"Due to the tense political environment following the 2020 e******n, the threat of disruptive actions or violence cannot be ruled out," the new assessment declared. "Supporters of the current president see J****** 6, 2021 as the last opportunity to overturn the results of the p**********l e******n. This sense of desperation and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent."

Within 24 hours, Sund had changed his mind and began seeking permission from the political powers surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to deploy the National Guard as a preventive measure on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.

The C*****l P****e official timeline provides the most succinct summary of a series of events around Sund's request, some of which have been disputed and at times misreported in the news media.

"COP Sund asks Senate Sergeant at Arms (SSAA) Michael Stenger and House Sergeant at Arms (HSAA) Paul Irving for authority to have National Guard to assist with security for the J****** 6, 2021 event based on briefing with law enforcement partner and revised intelligence Assessment," the timeline recorded. "COP Sund's request is denied. SSAA and HSAA tell COP Sund to contact General Walker at DC National Guard to discuss the guard's ability to support a request if needed."

Walker, according to the police timeline, told Sund that if the chief could change minds and eventually get the approval from Capitol officials his team could deploy 125 troops quickly.

While Sund's requests were being delayed and denied, the Pentagon was forging ahead on Jan. 4, 2021 to get Trump to formally sign authorizations to deploy in advance of J*** 6, 2021 as many as 20,000 National Guard troops if Congress asked[/b], according to interviews Just the News has done with then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and his chief of staff Kash Patel.

"We went to the C*****l P****e and the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies and Mayor Bowser days before J****** 6, and asked them, 'Do you want thousands of National Guardsmen and women for J****** 6?'" Patel said in a detailed interview earlier this year." They all said no. Why did we do that? The law requires them to request it before we can deploy them. And the DOD IG found we did not delay, we actually prepared in a preemptive fashion, which is what we do at DOD."

Patel told Just the News on Wednesday night that the police timeline validated the account he has given to Congress.

"The C*****l P****e timeline shows what we have been saying for the last year — that DOD support via the National Guard was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms, who report to the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader," Patel said. "Now we have it in their own writing, days before J*** 6. And despite the FBI warning of potential for serious disturbance, no perimeter was established, no agents put on the street, and no fence put up."

As word circulated around the nation's capital that Sund wanted National Guardsmen deployed, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser wrote a preemptive letter to Miller and other Pentagon and Justice Department officials asking that troops not be deployed unless the Metropolitan Police Department approved, citing an incident in summer 2020, when troops were deployed at Lafayette Park near the White House during civil disobedience,

BowserDODLetterJan52021.pdf

Bowser wrote in her Jan. 5, 2021 letter that the earlier episode "caused confusion" and could have become "a national security threat with no way for MPD and federal law enforcement to decipher armed groups."

"To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to and consultation with MPD, if such plans are underway," Bowser wrote, adding she believed her police department was "well trained and prepared to lead the way" to ensure J*** 6 unfolded safely.

In the end, that did not happen. Capitol and D.C. police were overrun by r****rs, and the Guard wasn't deployed until after violence spiraled out of control, causing a mad scramble to send troops that had been offered and rejected days earlier, the records show.

The evening before J*** 6, the FBI's Norfolk, Va., office sent an explicit warning to some high-ranking officials in the C*****l P****e that there was new intelligence that some planned attendees were thinking of storming the Capitol and targeting lawmakers for violence.

Remarkably, the C*****l P****e's own after-action report concluded, that FBI intelligence warning was not shared with Sund or incorporated into the operational plan sent to police commanders and officers preparing to man the frontlines.

USCP-J**6AfterActionReportandRecommendations6-4-21.pdf

But with the J*** 6 event mere hours away, C*****l P****e — aware they had no National Guard backup — asked the C*****l P****e Architect to make some last-minute changes and eliminate a bike rack that initially was going to be used as a perimeter barrier. The Architect obliged but viewed the police request as ill-advised, internal emails show.

"This seems absolutely illogical," CPB Architect Brett Blanton wrote a colleague just 15 hours before the violence began. "It removes a zone of defense. If you find out a logical impetus for the change, let me know ASAP. I'll make calls to the board if necessary."

There is no question you would know a lot more about the workings of a corrupt, dysfunctional, incompetent and decidedly unAmerican government than "the majority of uneducated right here on OPP".

I mean, we're just a bunch of dumb knuckle d**gging Neanderthals who don't know s**t from shinola.
Those Certificates of Accomplishment, awards, diplomas and university degrees h*****g on our walls
don't mean a damned thing.

If Nobel had a prize for Condescending Hypocracy, you'd be a prime candidate.

Don’t you get a sore neck parroting Democrat lines. If you spent 30 years there then you are part of the problem. Means your still taking my money. Like you the Democrats are afraid of President Trump just wonder what will happen when he becomes President again? I’m afraid of the Democrats like Biden that has no idea what he’s doing or Pelosi that’s drunk more often than not. How about Garland won’t prosecute Protesters that broke federal law. There are many people being held and not being afforded there rights under the law. This whole thing is being blown out of proportion.
You claiming any of the people could have called the National Guard if they could have why didn’t Schumer call them in? Why did the C*****l P****e request permission from Pelosi? Why is it the House Sargent at Arms ask Pelosi if she wanted to call the Guard. There are too many disconnects. The whole T***h is not being told. Only the Democrat want to be t***h is being told.
One other thing is I would bet that another medical emergency will happen in Oct so that the b****t stuffing happens again.

Wildlandfirefighter

Nothing you have h*****g on your walls means sh!t to me t*****r. I'm sure it's just more lies that you use to support that fantasy land that you exist within. Go ahead and report me again coward.

You continue to attempt to defend the indefensible. Anyone that is still believing in the Big Lie, and still fighting so hard to push lies in the face of the insurmountable evidence to the contrary is a fool.

The lies you continue to try to push make you a fool and a t*****r. You don't have a patriotic atom in your body.

You are d********g. Hillary was right about you and those in your tribe that are still at this insane late date believing what the conman Trump tells you. Yes, although I did not believe her at the time, the word deplorable does fit you and your type quite well today!

Wildlandfirefighter

I said I spent over 30 years working for the Feds, none of that was directly in DC but the last 10 years I was back there a week or two a month. The places I worked were national parks, wildlife refuges and forests in AK, CO, MN, MI, SD, ND, MT, FL, GA, SC and at the National Interagency Fire Center here in Idaho.

So your theory here is that Pelosi knew that Trump was going to rile up the crowd and send them to the capitol to do something that has never been done in our history well before anyone else knew. And that she purposefully tried to minimize security around the capitol so the mob would be able to break in, k**l a few people, wreck sh!t, and try to find her and Pence to possibly murder them, just to bring down Trump, who had already lost an e******n? And there were all these members of the house and senate on the GOP side that were directly involved and could have requested additional security and had a lot better idea of what was planned on J****** 6 than Pelosi, but they did nothing. And the entire GOP leadership who were mostly supporting Trump's Big Lie chose to do nothing and could have (McConnell was still in charge of the Senate at the time and he had the same authority with the Senate Sargent at Arms as Pelosi had in the House, or did you forget?).

But yeah, this is all Pelosi's fault because she is one of the members of the Capital Security Council, like McConnell. Why didn't Kevin McCarthy do something, he was scared as hell on J****** 6th too.

Sorry but it's just too stupid to give even an iota of credibility and we have so much information on how the r**t was planned, organized and incited at this point in time that to spend any time going down this rabbit hole is simply ignorant. It's time for you to move on. Trump, Guiliani, Meadows, Eastman and a few others are the real criminals in what happened on J6 and there is overwhelming evidence of such.

Democrats Flee from Associating with Democrat Party, ‘Brand Is so Toxic’

Biden radicalism sends Democrat v**ers fleeing

It’s Not Just Hispanics Who Are Fleeing the Democrats in Droves
When will Democrats get that going ‘woke’ was e*******l suicide. For a party that p***es itself in being diverse, it’s not. It’s rapidly becoming a party of single, college-educated white female socialists. They’re ideologically insane. They’re shrill. They can’t message. They’ve alienated almost everyone. White progressives are also saddled with mountains of college debt. Why do you think it’s become a top issue for the Democratic Party? The base is dominated by a snobby, elitist, and overwhelmingly white core that is way out of step with the other blocs that comprise the liberal base. It’s become so bad that Hispanics are bolting from the party. College-educated men are fleeing to the GOP. And now, Asian-Americans are saying sayonara to the Left. It’s not because they’ve decided to become hardcore conservatives. They’re just tired of being discriminated against when it comes to their kids’ education. Yes, there is a color scale that Democrats slap on everyone, and Asians don’t quite make the cut regarding the ‘person of color’ test (via Daily Caller):

Black v**ers are fleeing Biden in droves. Here’s why
President Biden’s poll numbers have been stunningly bad lately. The most recent CNN poll has him at 58 percent disapproval, 41 percent approval. In December, Biden was at 49 percent approval in the same poll. And among those who disapprove of his performance, 56 percent say the president didn’t accomplish anything in his first year of which they approve.

To be fair, President Trump’s poll numbers were similarly dismal at this stage of his presidency. But there are two major differences:

1) Trump’s polls could be largely explained by a special counsel’s investigation into possible Russia collusion and the 2016 e******n (which ultimately led nowhere).

2) Trump’s base, those who strongly supported him, was infinitely stronger and more reliable than Biden’s current base, which at just 15 percent strongly approving ain’t much of a base at all.

Meanwhile, a majority of Democrats don’t even want Joe Biden to run again in 2024, with just 48 percent supporting the idea. This is unheard of after just one year.

Two more big numbers to consider: Less than 7-in-10 Black v**ers (69 percent) support the 46th president. This is significant, because more than 9-in-10 Black v**ers (92 percent) v**ed for him in 2020.

Democrats Are Fleeing – It’s Over
Democrats across the nation are embarrassed about the perception of the Democrat Party’s growing toxicity.

The Democrat Party, which has pushed wokism, open borders, police defunding, and c****av***s mandates is specifically struggling with rural v**ers throughout the nation. The struggles have been reported by the Associated Press and Politico in two articles over two days, alerting Democrat Party leaders of the impending doom come November’s midterm e******ns.

“The trend lines in rural America are very, very bad. … Now, the brand is so toxic that people who are Democrats, the ones left, aren’t fighting for the party,” former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp told the AP.

“We’re letting Republicans use the language of the far left to define the Democratic Party, and we can’t do that,” she said about the Republicans, who by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) internal polling, are winning the culture war.

Nevada Dems Are Fleeing Their Party For The GOP
Thousands of Nevada Democrats have left their party and re-registered as Republicans and independents, turning a blue-leaning state increasingly red, according to The Nevada Independent.

Approximately 2,300 Democrats have left the party and re-registered as Republicans, while an additional 5,000 non-partisan v**ers also joined the GOP over the last three months, The Nevada Independent reported. Since January 2022, the gap between the number of Democrats and the number of Republicans decreased by almost 15,000 registered v**ers to roughly 50,000, according to the Office of Nevada’s Secretary of State.

After Attending a Trump Rally, I Realized Democrats Are Not Ready For 2020
I’ve been a Democrat for 20 years. But this experience made me realize how out-of-touch my party is with the country at large.

I think those of us on the left need to take a long look in the mirror and have an honest conversation about what’s going on.

If you had told me three years ago that I would ever attend a Donald Trump rally, I would have laughed and assured you that was never going to happen. Heck, if you had told me I would do it three months ago, I probably would have done the same thing. So, how did I find myself among 11,000-plus Trump supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire? Believe it or not, it all started with knitting.
