Ms. Blasius is a reporter, so, just the facts. Good for her.

But I think, if I'd written this, I would've used "mommy" and added "the detention facility are being meanies and...".

@davesaddiction That's fucking perfect. If he's being held in MCSO detention, I don't blame him for not eating. The only available food is stale bread with peanut butter packets and crackers. The meth heads in detention have discovered that the peanut butter packets can double as jailhouse girlfriends. It's hard to eat something that you've watched someone pleasure themself with.

I know these morons were filmed galavanting around Congress, but it'll be interesting if the nonviolent offenders can fight the trespassing charges on account of certain Capitol Police officers letting them in.

Is there video of officers opening the doors for some of them?

I've seen the video of a couple of them moving some temporary fencing, but I made the assumption that they did that because it was clear that the "wall" had been breached and that the crowd was filling into the space behind them (so that defending that fence line had become pointless).

I heard an interview with Comey where he said he wants to see everyone who entered the Capitol to be prosecuted. I hope that's what happens, and for more than just trespassing, if at all possible.

@davesaddiction I'm not a lawyer, judge or jury, so that would be for those parties to decide. I'm sure they'll throw the book at them, it'll be interesting what sticks. Take a look at the Bundy Boys for an example of the challenges faced with these sorts of cases.

And what are the odds that Trump pardons every one of them that have been charged before he goes? Ugh.

[MybirdIStheword]

@davesaddiction could it be, just spitballing here, that the people at the capital were just crazy, and this isnt some metacommentary?
Anybody concerned about food origins in a detention center deserves to go hungry.

@davesaddiction Good news: since his advisors are warning him that pardoning himself could open himself to greater civil liability, he’s apparently decided no one gets pardoned.

“I’m going to take my ball and go home.”

[DipodomysDeserti]

@davesaddiction I don't think he will. Despite what Twitter says, he did denounce their actions, and I'm sure he was a bit alarmed to see the type of people that chose to act on his urgings.

@davesaddiction
He won't eat because they won't give this moron all-organic food?
That's fine... let him starve.

On a side note: The 'organic' labelling on a lot of food is BS anyway.

All of this is just a big misunderstanding !

@dipodomysdeserti I love it. Some say the Trumpets troll the Libs, but really, Trump trolled the Trumpets. Gets them all riled up to the point where they launch a low quality insurrection, then claims he is appalled and feigns ignorance as to how it might have happened I suspect he knows just the type of people who hang off his words too - these aren't the quiet feal respectable (looking) monied types who would send others to hell to save a little on their taxes. Stand back, stand by.

[DipodomysDeserti]

@fintail They really are useful idiots, but I don’t think they’re going to end up being all that useful.

[fintail]

@dipodomysdeserti I suppose we are lucky they are relatively inept and idiotic, at least so far.

I'm also not on board that the base needs to be treated with kid gloves in order to "heal" and whatnot.

[PG]

@fintail agreed. We wouldn't be nice to Al Quaeda, wouldnt be nice to Nazi's. How are these guys any different. All brainwashed idiots

This video is pretty bad.

There are 5 officers behind that door doing nothing to stop anyone. I get that it's a mass of people, but that door is your pinch point where 5 officers could hold them at bay.

[davesaddiction]

@mastermario Yeah, that's a bad look...

But is it possible they they were told by their superiors that the outer doors were no longer worth protecting with force because so many had already breached elsewhere and were inside?

[MasterMario]

@davesaddiction Possibly, but if that were the case I would expect them to be retreating and regrouping...not just hanging out in the crowd. I'm not a tactician or expert on policing strategies, but being surrounded by hundreds of people you're supposed to be managing seems really short sighted to say the least.

[davesaddiction]

@mastermario

I'm really interested to know where all the police went when the fence line they were protecting was breached. Where did they regroup? How could that many officers not manage to fall back to the doors and successfully protect all the entrances to the building? Such a failure of training, planning, and action...
