Hi guys.
Checking in on everyone. Pentagon has approved 15K national guard troops for inauguration. Also ABC news is reporting armed protests will be popping up Jan 17-20 in all US capitals under the guise of a 2Nd amendment march.
Not excited to go to work next week.

A couple of years ago some report came out that NM was the only state that didn't have any "hate groups."
I stared in white supremacy.

Ok, I wasn't actually suggesting there were no racists in New England - my own school committee has had two live verbal attacks on our members of color in the last month; It was more surprise that people rented buses to ride there. Enough people to fill those buses. It just still surprises me. To be clear -- I didn't think you were surprised that there are racists in NE. I was just amplifying.

Aren't they the folks that wanted to have a "straight pride" parade?

Well Belichick declines the medal. Didn’t expect it.

Well Belichick declines the medal. Didn’t expect it. I had a strong suspicion he would. He’s never been open about being a Trump supporter. Trump “outed” him in 2016 by releasing a private note Belichek had sent him. Belichek was reportedly pissed because he had media and players coming at him about it. And he is not a guy who likes being the center of media attention outside of winning (and even then). Trump just tried to use him again and I’m not shocked he wasn’t having it. Not a Belichek fan and not defending him or suggesting he has changed his politics when he has emphatically refused to talk about it, but accepting the medal in these circumstances wouldn’t be like him.

And this sounds scary but at 75 years old, this is likely the best move for her. Holding her in my thoughts.

If anyone is still on FB here's a good post that's not debatable. (Although I saw someone debate it)
I have found that in times of political confusion, particularly when emotions are running high and creating tunnel vision, the presence of Nazis can be an extremely helpful indicator. If I am attending a local demonstration or event and I see Nazis…neo-Nazis, casual Nazis, master race Nazis, or the latest-whatever-uber-mythology-Nazis, I figure out which side they are on. And if they are on my side of the demonstration? I am on the wrong side. It is tough to argue moral equivalence when I am standing next to a Nazi. Look to my right. Is there a guy wearing a 6MWE (6 million wasn’t enough) t-shirt? I am on the wrong side. Look to my left. If that guy is wearing a Camp Auschwitz t-shirt? Wrong side. Are Speakers being applauded for referring to things that Hitler got right? Wrong side. Team-spirit face paint and hat with animal horns? This is actually an unclear indicator that could mean anything, but safest to keep my distance from that guy anyway, even at a football game. However, I can always, always, always rely on the presence of Nazis as a guiding light through a fog of disinformation.

Apparently, a small business owner in my little suburb wore his business coat to the riots...I wonder if anyone's reported him.

0% surprised if Bob Kroll was there. He went to the Trump rally in Minneapolis and got up on stage.

Because MH knows everything about everyone he told me that old dude lives right around the corner from us. I might have to drive around the next few days to see if the FBI arrests anyone...

This guy on TikTok has been posting a lot of videos from interviews. This particular one made me laugh. He covered up his face to be undetected but then gave his name. vm.tiktok.com/ZMJc8wecr/

I keep seeing a lot of people who were Air Force at the riots. I’m really curious if there is any difference in the number of hardcore supporters across branches of the military.
I feel like it could also very well be that I noticed one and then other AF people stood out more.

I feel like it could also very well be that I noticed one and then other AF people stood out more. The woman who was shot was former AF. I think a lot about how I'm kind of glad my mom's parents are no longer living because my Grandpa was into conspiracy talk radio and my grandma thought Pope JPII was too liberal before she got dementia, and I would not have been surprised if they fell down the Trump cult rabbit hole (they both passed before Trump rose to power). Grandpa was a retired Air Force card carrying NRA member and grandma used to bring a purseful of rosaries to hand out at the Commissary on base whenever they went shopping. Glad I never had to see them get involved with any of this.

But he’s been planning retirement for a while. Was planned for a couple months from now, but needed to be moved up to this month to get the bonus. And I think it needed to be filed by this week. So I don’t think the 2 are related. It’s a sizable incentive.

I will be happy to see investigations, especially to find out how something like panic buttons could be removed.

Not quite sure where to put this but I saw this campaign on IG to write letters to the staff that cleaned the capital building after the insurrection. Details on where to send included. http://instagram.com/p/CKAV-TgDgfm
