DEA agent charged with carrying badge and gun at Capitol riot. “An off-duty special agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency carried his government-issued firearm while attending the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents unsealed Tuesday. Prosecutors say he posed for pictures while flashing his DEA badge and climbed onto the Peace Monument to film himself as he delivered a ‘monologue.’”
People took selfies and posed for pictures because they thought they weren’t doing anything wrong. They figured as Americans they had a right to protest, and they knew their behavior was much milder than what had been praised all summer. They just didn’t realize that the rules for them were different, because they thought they still lived in America.

Probably not much except cavort with his ‘little fishies’ (h/t Tiberius) in the White House hot tub. God knows what the various factions running the machine are really after but I expect I can guess what the aggregate feature set will be.
With the ancien regime back in the driver’s seat (were they ever really out?) you can expect lots of pieces being moved on the board. Consistently rolling 6’s seems to be built into the calculations but it all makes for good TV. Keeping the ‘Black Tulip’ filled up is just the cost of doing business.

It’s nice to see a long-form article. Worth a read if you care about such matters.
Yer tax dollars at work:
“The prosecution has already emerged as a critical test for how the Biden administration approaches the growing threat of homegrown anti-government groups. More than that, though, the case epitomizes the ideological divisions that have riven the country over the past several years. To some, the FBI’s infiltration of the innermost circle of armed anti-government groups is a model for how to successfully forestall dangerous acts of domestic terrorism. But for others, it’s an example of precisely the kind of outrageous government overreach that radicalizes people in the first place, and, increasingly, a flashpoint for deep state conspiracy theories.”

Of course, I have a problem with anyone being injured. Although I am talking to a wall with a closed-mind, I will try one final time to engage you in a conversation as opposed to answering the stupid, rhetorical, generalized, and loaded questions you keep asking. If we cannot find some agreement here, I will no longer have any use for you as far as politics goes.
My point as been and will continue to be as follows:
Folks who break the law should be punished. If you were walking around the Capitol building on January 6, and you did not hurt anyone and were not being violent and were unarmed, there should be no reason to prosecute beyond a misdemeanor and a fine. Simple as this is free speech. If you engaged in violence or were armed or had intent to do something bad (ie, the guys with the zip tie handcuffs should be in jail), you are an idiot and deserve what is coming to you. Your whole schtick about the gallows is a joke. It was a prop, and it is free speech. Kathy Griffin with Trump’s severed head is disgusting but also free speech. We have the right to petition the government. We have the right to make them feel uncomfortable. That is the way the system works. Prosecute the people who actually did bad things, but not the folks who did nothing violent.
Now and on the other hand and concerning the 2020 riots, those thugs that looted stores and burned building (FEDERAL BUILDINGS PAUL, WE ARE COMPARING APPLES AND APPLES) and assaulted police and killed police should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Those individuals who non-violently protested should be allowed to do that. Again, free speech.
Now the prosecutions in the 2020 riots are not really happening and there is my issue. We live in a society designed in part under the premise that we have equal protection under the law and laws will be applied consistently. That is not happening. If you are conservative or Republican there is one set of rules and if you are an activist (even a violent activist) or a progressive who supports Marxist ideas, you get a pass. If this dichotomy continues, you will see more January 6ths. Folks aren’t going to lay down and allow there civil rights to be trampled when they feel that they are being singled out. Blacks did this in the 1960s and they were 100% correct.
If you cannot see what is going on, you are blind. Useful fool.

Today, those believing the Capitol police is another sure-fire litmus test for identifying a progressive.

A person swept up into that meat grinder is subject to the politics of the hour, ambitious prosecutors, a gigantic system that needs feeding. A life can be destroyed at zero cost to the apparatchiks involved and there appears to be little rhyme or reason to the punishment meted out for a given crime.

As Breitbart News reported Tuesday, Elder’s campaign sued the Secretary of State after she excluded him from the list of 41 candidates to replace Newsom, if a majority of voters choose to recall him. The reason given was that Elder allegedly failed to file complete tax returns. Elder’s campaign denied that accusation, noting that he had turned in five years of tax returns on time, and also arguing that the law requiring candidates to submit tax returns did not apply to recalls anyway.”
