Happy Treason Weasel Day!!

Illinois Representative shocked to find that quoting Hitler to a crowd of insurrectionists is poorly received by her constituents:

You don’t just praise Hitler by accident. Good Lord.

If I get thrown off my social platforms I’ll let you know my thoughts and where I end up.

Eta: it's a shopping site to buy Trump jr's books and t shirts! That's it! Omg.

Agreed. My argument is that for the extremely small chance that he might decide to do that, I feel he's the type of personality who would want to take others with him when he did it.

Yeah, I could see him smothering his adult children and nudging the car into the lake before taking a shotgun to his head and missing.

They do have an online store but it's not for books or t shirts. It was for things like, I dunno, wine or whatever. Maybe this is the same thing? I seem to recall pics of Tiffany on the one that I saw.

Hey CAM. I was just thinking. When all of that went down, don't you think military bases were put on alert? Perhaps worldwide?

Let's think about this. What are the options before him?

Ok, I'll play.

1) The military plane to Scotland, already set for the 19th, a place that seems to have limited extradition, and a golf course he owns.

Scotland has said that he is not welcome, and that golfing is not essential business. He may hitch a ride on an Air Force Transport, but he's just a private citizen after the inauguration. Now if he comes BEFORE the inauguration, he is coming as the head of a foriegn nation. All of that has to be arranged between the State Department, Scotland and Great Britain.

Now that I think about it, 2 great Western Democratic experiments with ultra-nationalism just got their final exams. Brexit comes to its agonizing conclusion, and the Trump Presidency ends in a failed coup.

Each installation has its own internal policies regarding threat levels, so I really wouldn’t know. However, I’m sure installations around the DC metroplex were probably at a heightened posture, whatever that means for them. But all that really means is maybe a curfew for service members, a few more personnel at the gates, perhaps MPs/SPs were assisting with gate guard duties, passes and leave restricted. It’s generally pretty low key.

Huh. I missed that Twatter banned Flynn, the Kraken, and Qanon accounts:

Scotland nixed that by saying the trip was non-essential, Lem. They're only allowing essential travel.

Yes, I didn't hear anything local about it. Just wondering.
