CBS reports alleged plan to attack the Capitol tomorrow (edited title)

I can’t imagine that any government would be willing to do this. The risk-versus-reward is just way too high. I think it’s mostly likely to be some terrorist splinter group.

Clancy had a plotline where introduction of a contagious disease by a hostile foreign power was a central part, too. I forget which novel, it’s been a while since my Clancy stage.

@Red_Wiggler: See this from 6 posts above yours. :wink:

I didn’t know the MAGAts cared about Soleimani. Who knew?

MAGAts probably wonder why an Italian was working for Iran.

Trumplicans

Yep, it’s Trump Qaeda.

Looks like RNC Headquarters have been evacuated. Yes, that is not a typo - RNC.

That’s going on right now. Protestors have broken through police lines and they’re on the Capitol steps(not the comedy group). Senate has been evacuated.

Appears that Senators are being evacuated from the Capitol Building, because Trumplican Terrorists have invaded the building.

I wish for 20 years in prison for each and every one of these terrorists, starting with their Dear Leader who encouraged them to do this, and then ran away like a coward.

They’ve evacuated Pence from the Senate floor into the underground tunnels.

Fuck that. They should leave him up there so the leopards can eat his face.

Thanks, missed that. News and these threads are moving fast today.

That will absolutely have to happen.

When Biden takes over, he will have to put QAnon, Proud Boys, and other affiliated right wing groups on a list of domestic terrorists. Any - I mean any - threats from these jokers, and that’s it: Secret Service, DHS, FBI kicks down the door and puts 'em in cuffs.

I’ve about had enough of these mother fuckers.

How about the asshole in chief who encouraged the mob to storm the building, and then ran away like a coward to go hide?

As the leader of this terrorist mob, he should be the first one to head to prison.

Two more weeks, and he can be charged for crimes he committed while President.

While he can’t pardon himself for state-level crimes, I wonder though if DC’s special status means he can pardon himself for inciting this riot.

I have been undecided about whether it seems best to prosecute or otherwise pursue judicial justice against Trump and the rest of his swamp. My opinion has been made. Fomenting and supporting a literal forced occupation of the capitol? Prison for the lot of them, for the sake of the nation.

I don’t think they’ll actually attack the US, but making up a fake threat and attributing it to Iran can still serve some purpose.

I’m listening right now to the tweeted audio message of calming and reassurance by CFSG. It struck the exactly right tone.

/s

CBS was right. There was an attack on the Capitol today.

I’m sorry. What the hell is CFSG? From context here it appears to be Trump, but what the letters stand for stumps me.
