This isn't news...they have been saying that stuff since the Inauguration. i am glad Congress seems to know about it but pretty much everyone with internet access has known about this for weeks. Hell Trump's hotel in DC raised prices for that period of time.

NEW: The Justice Dept. charged 6 more suspected Oath Keepers with conspiracy in the Capitol attack. The indictment offers the most sweeping evidence yet that members of the far-right militia allegedly spent months planning to block Biden's certification."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Obvious.
people who espouse extremist attitudes tend to perform poorly on complex mental tasks.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge sought to evaluate whether cognitive disposition – differences in how information is perceived and processed – sculpt ideological world-views such as political, nationalistic and dogmatic beliefs, beyond the impact of traditional demographic factors like age, race and gender.
...
The tasks were engineered to be neutral, not emotional or political – they involved, for instance, memorising visual shapes. The researchers then used computational modelling to extract information from that data about the participant’s perception and learning, and their ability to engage in complex and strategic mental processing.
Overall, the researchers found that ideological attitudes mirrored cognitive decision-making, according to the study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
A key finding was that people with extremist attitudes tended to think about the world in black and white terms, and struggled with complex tasks that required intricate mental steps, said lead author Dr Leor Zmigrod at Cambridge’s department of psychology.
“Individuals or brains that struggle to process and plan complex action sequences may be more drawn to extreme ideologies, or authoritarian ideologies that simplify the world,” she said.
She said another feature of people with tendencies towards extremism appeared to be that they were not good at regulating their emotions, meaning they were impulsive and tended to seek out emotionally evocative experiences. “And so that kind of helps us understand what kind of individual might be willing to go in and commit violence against innocent others.”
Participants who are prone to dogmatism – stuck in their ways and relatively resistant to credible evidence – actually have a problem with processing evidence even at a perceptual level, the authors found.
“For example, when they’re asked to determine whether dots [as part of a neuropsychological task] are moving to the left or to the right, they just took longer to process that information and come to a decision,” Zmigrod said.Last edited by Kepler; 02-22-2021, 06:32 AM.Cornell University

Today is the 28th anniversary of the World Trade Center bombing by Ramzi Ahmed Yousef. Six people were killed, and more than 1,000 people were injured.

This is in connection to have the NG at the Capitol. Funny how the story with Flynn's brother keeps changing...Gen. Walker just testified that Gen. Charles Flynn and Gen. Piatt were the ones worried about "optics."
Funny how the optics of the military in DC over the summer didn't bug anyone. (even having helicopters fly low to terrorize citizens) do the optics of the Capitol being overrun look better?"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Donnie wanted the Guard and the police to march with the protestors from the ellipse to the Capitol to keep crowds on counter protestors away.
