CLAIR, JEFFREY ST.
- Abstract
+ Nancy Pelosi just said she wants every day to be a "national security event" at the Capitol, meaning, I suspect, that she will soon be encircling Capitol Hill behind the same kind of concertina wire barrier Trump erected around the White House + One thing about yesterday's ruckus I'm still not clear on: did Mitch pause to salute the Confederate battleflag as he was fleeing the well of the Senate for the comforts of his "secure location"? Those don't seem to be (and shouldn't) the rules of engagement today + Police didn't attempt to protect the Capitol building because it was public not private property + Trump seems to think this was the Alamo + Are the insurrectionists supposed to pick up their pardons before or after the sacking of the Capitol? + Probably peeved that Trump didn't hire her brother to help the MAGAminions hold the Capitol building, Education Secretary Cruella DeVos announced her resignation on Thursday night + Apparently, DeVos was more horrified by how the images coming out of the Capitol might affect children than the mercenaries working for her brother who were rewarded with a pardon from Trump after having been convicted of slaughtering civilian men, women and children in Iraq. JANUARY 8, 2021 + Mark my words, the legislative response to the sacking of the nation's capitol will be a bipartisanship push for more money for police and more restrictions on civil liberties, to be imposed most devastatingly on BLM and anti-war protesters, tribal activists and environmentalists.
