Yep, still here
Pelosi adjourned the House until the inauguration. Real profile in courage, there.
It is absolutely not the case these people are all unemployed losers. On the school centric forums I post on all of the posters lamented the fact that there was a "God, Country, Notre Dame" flag seen in photos of the insurrection. MAGAts are not some monolithic paint-by-numbers redneck.
What we need to see, and what we will not see, is an overwhelming criminal justice response to this attempt to overthrow the government. If we don't draw the line right here and right now, then the next time the insurgents will go further. Recall how up in arms we were when some congressman couldn't hold his tongue and blurted out "you lie" when Obama told the truth about something in a State Of The Union speech? How many hundreds of miles further down the road are we now?
Since the early 90s (or maybe the late 80s and the beginning of the growing popularity of nation-wide, right wing nut-job talk-radio) we have been moving in precisely this direction. With every passing year, with every subsequent administration, it has gotten worse. We've seen quite a few steps to the bad in just the last year, with actual credible plots to kidnap a governor. And now the violent storming of the Capitol to thwart the functions of our government.
The police yesterday needed to use whatever force was necessary to clear the Capitol and stop the rioting. There should have been mass arrests of insurgents. And if it meant using overwhelming lethal force, sadly, that would have been entirely justifiable. It appeared that, at least after the rioting started, very little deadly force was necessary. And who knows, perhaps the one rioter who was shot and killed served as a cautionary tale for the some of the rest. Remember, these people WANTED the violence and the war. I shed zero tears for anyone hurt or killed.
We have a choice as a country. We can demand that the laws are followed. All the time, and by everybody. Or we can let this all get worse. What if the Capitol Police and other law enforcement weren't complicit and instead they were just incompetent? The next time their complicity will mean members of congress don't just get scared and scrambled. The next time Speaker Pelosi or maybe some RINO like Mitt Romney gets killed. We're heading down that road. Unless things change and that line is drawn it will happen.

Not wrong in theory...
But I don't see a solution that doesn't devolve into a legit Civil War.
How do you punish those here?
- Doing so fuels the fire that the D's are actually the ones that are "Authoritarian". The images of the pitiful white protesters become propaganda that is fed into the echo chamber. This then riles up the Dumpies for their revolution, and then the cycle repeats.
- They also own the cops and military. They will always have a insider to unlock the front gate for them.
This is a deep rooted problem that there is NOT an easy fix for and we very much could be looking at several years of violent conflict ahead.
Hopefully, but I think there will be people
all to happy to give them another job.
I saw something pretty disturbing yesterday on Twitter yesterday, a girl said she knew one of the guys and it was someone who went to good schools and had a good job. I think most of us assume these are all unemployed losers but unfortunately I’m not sure that is the case.

If this tactic is carried out and thorough it could have an actual impact.

Rep Jake LaTurner from KS, who voted in favor of insurrection and refused to wear a mask, has tested positive for COVID. He spent all day on the floor.
Well now I know what the phrase “6MWE” means

If you let them go, it will be worse next time. The FBI and Biden's DoJ knows that, and hopefully they will prosecute any and all lawbreakers from yesterday's events accordingly and to the fullest extent possible.

Crossing Twitter is like crossing the Mob. They kill you. They kill your spouse. They kill your family. They kill your dog. They kill anyone who pretty much ever had any contact with you.
I have no problem with Twitter outing these clowns, and if as a result, they lose their jobs, any standing they had in the community, end up divorced, or whatever. They made the bad decision.
I fear the backlash to the extent it spreads to others, like family members who weren't there.
