Tell me about the violent insurrection in DC and around the country today

I guess we should have known it was going to happen.

"This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,"

 

What does this picture have to do with white supremacy? Most disagree with rioters, but it had nothing to do with race.

 

The OP seems disappointed there was no rioting.

 

There have been multiple posts on PF from those who are disappointed. Those member are left leaning posters. This thread is not disppointed, but questioning why all the drama over nothing.

 

Avoiding the question. You would not take precautions if your house was in danger? If the possibility of a mob causing mayhem presented a possible danger to you or others.

 

Apparently you missed what occurred at the Capitol. If you can't understand why precaution was taken then there isn't much I can do for you

 

Yes, I know what happened on the 6th, however this post is about yesterday, inauguration day.

I also know what riots happened all of 2020, yet I don't fear the left when they are walking down the street.

 

You realize the newly sworn in president was at the inauguration, right? Hence why it is called inauguration day. You also realize security of US presidents and VPs is kind of a big deal, right? There's actually an entire group of people dedicated to the security of presidents and VPs. Well, if there is anything else I can get you up to speed on please let me know.

 

Not sure how your response is relevant. There was no violence at all on inauguration day. Nothing at the event and nothing across the country. The left seems so disappointed.

 

Not one single fire! All those Marshmallows and Hotdogs and no way to roast them.. Clearly the right doesn't know how to party like the leftist crew

 

Who specifically is disappointed?

 

I'm not, but I'm pretty ashamed of the way the DNC allowed the left, BLM and Antifa goons to burn, loot and destroy public and private property most of all last year.

 

Sadly, the inauguration of Biden was more like an installation of a dictator in Venezuela than a president- razor wire, soldiers and all. While the media slobbered all over themselves like this was the second coming, there were none of the riots and violence that were predicted as an excuse for this. If their had been it would have been a bonanza for the left- I suspect they are disappointed.

If you listened to media, the rhetoric was much like what is used when the Dear Leader Kim Jong-un is re-elected- for example the laborious, glorious adulation of the story-book love between Joe and Jill, one reporter brushing the tears from his eyes at the beauty of it. Then, the statement that the lights running the length of the reflective pool seemed like Joe's arms reaching out to embrace and protect us all..... Glorious stuff. If you don't feel the wind up your skirt yet, this is just the beginning of it. This isn't Joe's doing of course, he's just being further promoted by the people who are really calling the shots. He's the salesman there to get your confidence, not the CEO of the operation.

Biden made some very good statements regarding the division and the need for unity. If you failed to look at what is going on behind that call to work together- you find a different agenda.
The Biden administration is gearing up to do what Trump would never do- mobilize federal services to demonize, silence and suppress his political opponents and critics.
If you are a white person who opposes the new reality, you are a white supremacist and must be brought to justice. Ugly and unconstitutional is on the way already, wrapped in the robes of righteousness.

A while back I had mentioned that when you turn loose mercenaries and violent people to help cause unrest and divide, you will play hell getting them back in the box when you don't need them anymore, and they will turn on you when your enemies are defeated.
This morning, news reports democratic headquarters in Portland being destroyed, and riots are protesting against Biden as well as the police in Seattle. Seems the thugs didn't really have any issue with Trump- anybody will do as an excuse for violent riots and anarchy. Now if the democratic management of such cities have any integrity, they will hold back the police as they did before, call the thugs peaceful protestors and let them continue their work unobstructed, and if they do have to arrest anyone, call on the new vice-president to raise bail money for them, like she did before.

This is just my observation of events, and my opinion of what those events indicate is coming next. Biden has got the chance to be a president; the question can he, and then- will he.
It won't take long to see the answer.

 

And a hundred tons of prevention is worth millions in wasted government dollars.

 

@spiritgide from our private conversations you know that I condemn riots, looting, and arson, just as much as I condemn the Capitol violence. But see, this part of what you said...

"A while back I had mentioned that when you turn loose mercenaries and violent people to help cause unrest and divide, you will play hell getting them back in the box when you don't need them anymore, and they will turn on you when your enemies are defeated."

...applies perfectly well to what Trump did, too. And it's already happening, with QAnon getting disappointed, and white supremacists feeling abandoned by his two videos condemning them and the absence of any pardon for their folks who got arrested and charged with federal offenses.

As for the rest, you also know that I am a lot less sure of this narrative that Biden is just a puppet, and much more hopeful that he will do a decent job. We shall see. Rest assured that if he doesn't, I'll hold him accountable the same way I held Trump accountable. As of now, he is our president and we owe him a chance.

As for the part about no further violence in DC on 1/20, of course! Bullies only prey on people they think are weak or unprepared. Once the National Guard showed up in force, these thugs ran away, scared, like the cockroaches that they are.

 

Well, that won't do. How can the totalitarian Left justify its crackdown on dissent when Righties refuse to cooperate?

 

Insects, eh?

Where have we heard THAT rhetoric before?

Contrary to the narrative you and others are peddling, it's obvious that the Phantom Menace never materialized because that's all it ever was - a figment of the Left's fear-mongering, but a useful fabrication that the Left has opportunistically exploited to demonize and silence its opponents.

And SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, after all that, it turns out that the only violence on Inauguration Day was committed by the "progressive" sturmabteilung in AntiFa, not the Phantom Trumpeteer Menace:

"Anti-fascist" - isn't that cute ....

 

Outstanding post, and thanks for describing the scene for those of us who had better things to do with their time than listen to Joe Biden pay lip service to unity and the LW MSM gush over its idols.

Don't know if you saw this, but it's posted at RCP today and I'll quote a little bit of it here:

 

We don't accept Biden as our president and never will. You must be day dreaming.

 

I do have a substantial respect for your views and reasons. I've agreed to give him a chance, and hope very much he will be willing and able to do the right thing. However, I'm convinced that will be impossible with the alliances he has made. You can't win the game without a team on the same page and the right page, and Biden has a lot of people who believe they own a piece of him that want to dictate radical agendas. No way he can please them all- and his history of compromise tells me he won't be able to control them.

There were around 200,000 people at the capitol demonstration that did not participate in any violence. They got no attention, no press coverage or interviews for their cause. I'd hope you don't consider them cockroaches too. I have no problem saying those responsible for violence acted like thugs and should be fully prosecuted; and Trump said that too. That would be an exception to the way the majority of the thugs that have rioted all over the country this year have been treated, wouldn't it?

I would love to be totally wrong in what I see coming. It may seem arrogant to say I've become very skilled at reading people and knowing what they will do next before they do, but it's true, and I'm rarely wrong in situations where the controlling factors are basic character elements. While I can't say exactly how someone may express a tendency, I usually know what direction it will go. Saved me a lot of misery and wasted money over the 40 years I've been using the same technique and guidelines.

As a man of medicine, you have worked hard to understand how the human machine works, and it is an incredibly complex thing- but as knowledge and experience builds, people such as yourself become pretty good at examining the evidence and knowing what to expect might happen next. While medicine is mostly a physical science, tangible and much can be determined by test and presentation, how we think is totally intangible- and that too is a complex thing, but in a different way that does not lend itself to testing easily. By that I mean that most things people believe matters are not causative, they are symptomatic presentations of an underlying condition. We tend to think if we treat the symptoms that result from how we think, we have fixed the problems. As you well know, symptoms do not cause disease; the disease is causing the symptoms. You read the nature of the disease by the symptoms presented, and they help point to cause, and that is the primary focus of treatment. How people think is sub-conscious- and controls what they can see and think (which is conscious) and that controls how they decide to act. There's a way to read the rigid programming of the "how" by reverse engineering the symptoms- and once you understand the how, you know what that person is likely to think and what they can do next- even the options they may conceive as possible choices. The how controls the logic of the conscious, and thereby any results of the logic, any choice the person may apply. Trick is that the things that make the "how" what it is are invisible and extremely hard to change- thus, when you read it correctly the probable future actions it indicates are long term rather than transient, and highly reliable. I'm not a professional psychologist- but I'm damned good at that, and many professionals have attended seminars and classes I've taught in the process I use to learn how. Let's hope that in this case- I've misread the signs. I'd put the odds on that at less than 5%.

 

I must agree with all of the above. I too am concerned about the Biden administration. I'm willing to approach it with an open mind and hope, but your worst fears may very well materialize. We the people need to stay vigilant to make sure we confront him if he derails.

And as you know, I respect and appreciate your thinking process. Carry on!

 

lolol. "Manufactured"

I did plenty of reading on Parlor, Gab, and Telegram. There were definitely plans ahead of time to disrupt the capitol violently being made all over the place out in the open. It wasn't even being hidden.

As with most things MAGA though, they couldn't actually follow through on any of their promises. Typical.

 

Did I say anything about race. No. No I didn't.
It has to do with right wing militias.

 

Yet the Phantom Trumpeteer Menace failed to materialize anywhere - not even the capitals where there weren't two divisions of infantry present.

And speaking of typical, the only violence that occurred yesterday was perpetrated by Leftists in Portland and Seattle...

 

Now that was funny
