Here's another video of cops letting people in. https://twitter.com/christina_bobb/status/134759627858319769...
Not sure what happened, I hope we find out, but this video is especially damning.

#163Storming? Let’s not get ahead ourselves here. The capitol police literally opened the door and let them inside: https://twitter.com/gatewaypundit/status/1347615270504955904... Which explains this hilarious picture of a 70-year old grandma “coup plotter” posing with coffee mug. https://twitter.com/TheRealEWILLZ/status/1346999976899932161...

Have a shit battery + full disk encryption + linux with broken hibernate support :D
Did Linux ever fix the hibernate stuff? I remember 5 years ago, it was a MUST to disable it, because the system would go to hibernate and never wake up again without a hard restart.

#166Beyond the information security risk around the loss of this specific device, what really worries me is the physical security implications here. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but it seems to me like, in a building like the US Capitol, it should not be anywhere near this easy for unauthorized people to waltz into an office or conference room in the first place. Let alone walk away with items from within that…
The US Embassy in Amsterdam is better protected than the Capitol.
I'm assuming a similar security plan is in place in e.g. European countries' parliaments; extracting the high value targets is P1. The building is just a building; if it's damaged it can be repaired. And killing a bunch of people defending a building is a political no-go.
None of this applies to an embassy.

I've traveled to countries before whose offices of government are behind very large fences, protected by unfriendly looking men standing behind heavy machine guns in armored vehicles – and the guide books are very clear that you are not to take photos of them. I much prefer the approach taken in the USA, where our offices of government are accessible to the people that the government serves. It's very good that I can…
Most days that’s fair. This week however, they should’ve had the unfriendly man with the M2. This was a predictable problem to literally everyone but the people in charge of protecting the capital.

This can be correct, but so can GPs point: two possible findings are that the capitol police were deliberately left understaffed because * higher level leadership judged the threat of the protestors to be insignificant (incompetence) * higher level leadership wanted the potential for a mob to enter the building (complicity) However they found themselves in the position, they did, and once there I think they had an un…
Except for that part where they murdered an unarmed Air Force veteran.

I bet it won't be, cause it's congress. I'm no small stater, but we need to find a way to put the interesting stuff back in democratic control...like a parliamentary system that recognizes executive vs legislative division is a bad idea.
Mitch McConnell’s documents would be similarly interesting.
I’d love to see how these two speak to their donors and each other vs how they speak to the public, for example.
