It means the Government of Putin does not support law enforcement, but the only police officers that understand this are with the Capitol Police. This part of the GOP build up for the mid-terms and 2028. Hitler, Stalin and Mao did the same thing for their violent thugs, made them heroes.

The J6ers should have been machine gunned on the Capitol steps. The Capitol Police won't make that mistake again.
I hate maga & this take is insane. State violence even against fascists is just state violence, that would have just given more power to idiots claiming the government was compromised. It’s not like J6 actually prevented Biden from becoming president.
It was an INSURRECTION! They literally tried to overthrow the government and install a Dictator-For-Life. If they had succeeded, a lot of legislators would have been murdered, as well as the VP. Those people were no longer American citizens, they were TRAITORS, trying to overthrow the government. Death is exactly what they deserve, either in the commission of their treason, or after. None of them should have been pardoned, because they all should have been executed.
Actually, the fascist government blindly killing civilians, contrary to your belief, is not a good thing. You want it to be legal for the US government to open fire on crowds of civilians? There were journalists in that crowd, and I’m sure there were kids. Yeah that’s the insurrectionists fault but that doesn’t mean you can just open fire on them and their wives and kids, a crowd full of newscasters and fucking journalists wtf is wrong with you? That’s psychopathic bloodthirst.
With this logic, you must support China’s actions in the Tiananmen Square protests? I’d be very happy if you read that story and told me your insights!!!
Edit: oooo! What do you think of HAMAS? that’s a good one
Who said anything about firing on crowds of civilians? That would be an atrocity.
These were seditious, treasonous Insurrectionists, attempting do LITERALLY DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY! Defending against that sort of domestic terrorism is the very least that I expect the Capitol Police to do.
The entire reason they felt comfortable actually assaulting the Capitol is because they were counting on COWARDLY people like you putting POLITENESS ahead of our Democracy. You would have let them destroy our democracy before fighting back, because it would be unseemly.
Your cowardice, and the cowardice of the Democratic Party is why so many people still support MAGA - because they know if America is truly threatened, Democrats aren't courageous enough to fight back, and they proved it over and over during the Biden administration. If Dems won't protect the nation, they won't protect their people.
Smug, polite liberals like you are the reason MAGA is in control.
Your comment made it seem like they should have opened fire on everyone at J6 which is insane because you’re just cheering for the neoliberal state to kill civilians. They were civilians. If you said military members I would have said hell yeah, but you said J6ers. I should know better to engage with this kinda cringy fedposting, but just so u know it’s not real praxis.
Do you understand what an Insurrection is?
The moment they decided to join an Insurrection, and overthrow their nation, they surrender their protection as citizens. At that point they are enemy combatants, attacking the seat of our government. They erected a gallows, and imtended to kill many elected politicians, including the VP. If you don't defend the very seat of your Democracy, with all the major players present and under fire, when do you defend it?
It’s very funny to me now that you called me a lib cuz this is very lib coded fedposting to me
He needs them fully operational for 2028.
MAGA spent four years screaming that J6 was all Antifa
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in word. --Jean-Paul Sartre
Hang em all
Lincoln's refusal to execute the principal Confederate traitors publicly and exile the rest was a mistake that has cost the world dearly.
I say this as an admirer of Abraham Lincoln.
Wasn't that more on Johnson?
The South never lost the civil war, they just kept waging it by other means.
The North won the war but lost the peace.
Tough call on the exile part, they would have likely fled west and created more of "the south" is in California
Unlikely. California was admitted as a free state in 1850, and San Francisco is actually considered to be a part of the Underground Railroad by some.
You need to take the whole course of antibiotics, otherwise you'll just get sick again.
After they won the civil they stopped taking the antibiotics.
J6ers got reparations before black people and Native Americans. What a time to be alive. So much winning everywhere!
That’s likely his point.
His point is to embolden them to support him and stand by while he illegally occupys the Whitehouse after he is removed from office.
laying the ground to show his supporters they can do it again in case their undermining of the next elections wont be enough
It's about funding death squads loyal to PEDOnald.
ICE is version 1.0
Well, they were stupid enough to actually fight for him. Imagine what those idiots would do now when Trump gets threatened by the harsh reality of the law?
He's consolidating more power, gutting the people who aren't the utmost loyal to him, and gathering more people he knows will commit violence on his behalf. The ballroom is turning out to be more of a doomsday bunker than just a ballroom. He's getting cornered as dissent begins to grow from within and from the public as his approval rating continues to tank. They're moving faster and faster on goals they intend to accomplish, and are now beginning to talk about Cuba the way they were beginning to talk about Venezuela before the capture of Maduro; this suggests another invasion is coming. There are warehouses getting bought intended for immigrants and probably "domestic terrorists" by the standards of NSPM-7, intended to occupy up to 100,000 people in each one. The Republican party has decided the future of the party is more vital than the future of this country, and they and Trump are willing to cheat in the upcoming elections to maintain power and control, while the opposition is currently failing to maintain the aggressive poise they need fight against this and counter gerrymander. Mass economic hardship projected because of the Strait of Hormuz, with the possibility of famine ranging throughout the entire globe, and is most definitely a matter of time before it hits home.
People are sleepwalking into this and need to wake the fuck up; be ready and give it everything you got. Tell your friends and family. Your participation is fucking vital.
Other than voting wtf are we supposed to do?
Take a look at what black America had to do to win the right to vote.
Other than that, protesting has done nothing for the last 30 years I've attended so many protests in my life and we are still in the same fucking situation
Protesting? I am talking mutual aide and survival programs that simultaneously agitated the status quo.
Show me where that has made a difference though? That's my point we are pretty much powerless in today's society to do much of anything that will cause change
Aside from winning the right to vote? We owe to the black panthers the free school breakfast program. But they too recognized how the system makes us powerless, which is why they sought a dual power structure
What was that 50-60 plus years ago? Since then nothing has worked to make things better for the common person. If anything they are worse now. Since at least LBJ the conservatives have been trying to set up the system as it is today. They have been playing the long long long game and it's worked. Americans today are far too dumb and lazy to ever go on a months long boycott of anything. Nobody wants to be inconvenience. I'm too old and tired to be fighting for our rights like I used to. Young people will have to do it, but they are not
Seems you're not too tired to lecture others though
I see the point went right over your head
Nah, I am just tired of hearing people say they aren't going to do shit but tell others how they need to act. You think we aren't just as tired if not more? Plenty of people did more than either of us with less resources but you're here to "be right" instead of "doing good". Like you're still on the liberal myth that all we need to do is change enough minds and that will fix the problem. It is time to learn some new points.
I've "been doing" for the last 30 years. How many protests have you gone to, I've gone to so many I can't even count them, how many sit ins have you done? How many abortion clinics have to stood outside to protect those who need the services? I've stood outside of countless clinics. I've done the footwork, nothing has changed, as a matter of fact it's gotten even worse. I'm fucking sick of fighting for rights when ¾ of this fucking country can't even bother to vote
I remember an old friend visiting before Trump's first win. He protested the wars and was part of occupy Wallstreet. He too was disillusioned by the apathy of his fellow Americans. He learned a different lesson and was cheering on Clinton's loss. What we all have in common is a deep cynicism towards the majority and while it might be "right", it is not a helpful framework for getting out of our current predicament.
Like I said in another thread, do the guards who protected our democratic institutions also get a payout or how does that work?
I honestly wonder if this is not being done to distract from his megaheist that might make him the richest person in the world (STABLE-GENIUS):
