"On Thursday, Washington Police Chief Robert Contee said at a news conference that there was "no intelligence that suggested there would be a breach of the U.S. Capitol." Users on extremist sites have continued to urge armed insurrection even after Wednesday’s siege.Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman from Virginia who has been warning for months about potential violence from QAnon supporters, said he is particularly worried about extremist groups in the 12 days remaining in President Donald Trump’s presidency. “I think we better be ready for Jan. 20, and I mean at every state Capitol that was contested, also,” Riggleman said. “We need a coordinated effort to detect groups planning now for Inauguration Day — a whole-of-government approach with public trust, data companies and research universities.” Reports from numerous news organizations warned that online forums were being flooded with calls for mayhem." www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/extremists-made-little-secret-ambitions-occupy-capital-weeks-attack-n1253499------ You know when scammers get your credit card and they put through a bogus $1 charge to see if the card is valid? Then they will run it up into the thousands when they find out it is? The "test transaction" was Jan 6th.SHUT THE CARD DOWN (IE - Arrest and HOLD these seditionists and IMPEACH or 25 TRUMP). OR EXPECT MORE SERIOUS TRANSACTIONS. Impeach Trump NOW. Then start the process of trying him for his crimes. 12 days is a LONG time for someone as destructive and desperate as he is - surrounded by his enablers and with tens of thousands still fantasizing "REVOLUTION!"

I saw the Parlar posts. It's ridiculous that that platform is still up and running. I read that there is an increased call to get the Apple App Store and Google Store to remove the app.

I hope Biden puts in place a team of people that will monitor all social media, both mainstream and otherwise. Obviously the Trump administration didn't have that; otherwise, they would have known that 1,000,000 people didn't really want to attend his OK rally.

It has existed for a very long time. Post 911. The Trump administration chooses to ignore intelligence reports and stuff like that since he ‘knows better’ with out being told. Biden just has to listen and or read or delegate a responsible person to do so. The info is there. There was NO excuse to be unprepared the other day. Posters on 2peas knew shit was going to hit the fan on Jan 6th. The info was out there, publicly available. They had to have known, the only way to not have known was by choosing not to know. The powers that be chose to ignore it.

I believe it. They need huge police and military presence. And this time, no kid gloves. These people are insane and dangerous.

I hear the inauguration will be a lot like the Democratic convention with people from all over the country contributing, and lots of musical performances. I doubt there will be any kind of parade or even the balls at night. However, we can all feel like we're a part of the celebration sitting in our pj’s watching in the comfort of our home.
After Wednesday, I bet they're rethinking even the swearing-in being done in a private setting.
I feel bad for Biden, he deserves a huge inaugural with all the pomp and circumstance, however, I'm looking forward to seeing all the happy faces of Americans across the country celebrating this day without worrying these thugs trying to destroy it.

I'll find the links (from Twitter), but it sounds like Parler, etc., are all calling for more "wild times" beginning on the 16th. This time they're requesting that people bring their weapons and it sounds much more serious.

Guess Blue Lives Matter is out the door. The number of LEO and retired military in the coup participants confirms my belief regarding who employs racists

Maybe not to you personally but there are fanatics and ideologist in most religions, including Christianity. Unfortunately we ( general we) turn a blind eye to Christian indoctrination yet we see it loud and clear in Islam for example. Fanatics in both these religions have the goal of attaining religious authority over everyone not just the " normal" ( for want of a better word), believers. I bet you that a number of those people marching are " upstanding" members of society in their communities, who attend church every Sunday clutching their bibles and interpret that holy book far different to someone like you or me and are probably the biggest hypocrites that ever wore a pair of shoes. That isn't an attack on all Christians but it's a reality of how influential an ideological belief can be and become, a danger to society.

Ideological UNPROVABLE beliefs lead to wars. "You're Satan" "No you're Satan" How do we prove who is Satan? We can't. Get the guns!

I have spent a long time studying internet group behavior in general since something happened in my life (nothing to do with me personally) as a result of an online "mob." I have talked about this phenomenon many times on the old 2Peas and part of my studying was done there as well. It was very interesting to watch, and even be affected myself by, the group mob mentality. There is definitely a sort of "spell" that overtakes people who ordinarily would never behave like this. I call it "The Machine" and see it as a giant sphere that moves on its own momentum, independent of the laws of physics, crushing reason and logic as it goes where it will, until it exhausts its energy and stops. It happened on 2Peas on a tiny scale rather often. It's clear that for a lot of these people, the spell has been broken. Getting hunted down by internet detectives and being arrested by the FBI probably was not the thrill they thought it would be when it was all theoretical and they were all ensconced in their strange fever bubble..
There are clearly still enough for whom the spell lives on. Hopefully the government now takes it seriously and has made plans accordingly to protect the new administration, though the man in charge of the government is clearly not up to the task. Obviously the inauguration was going to be a small affair anyway because of COVID; now there is another reason to restrict people from gathering. I have been at an inauguration and stood for hours where those insurrectionists massed on the lawn. There's no reason to let people that close to our incoming president at this time, even if they held tickets (you must have a ticket to make it that far during a normal inauguration). Having walked the streets around the Capitol on the day of an inauguration, the security is quite good, much better than what we saw this past Wednesday. They have the capacity to make it even better. I hope that's the plan.

Yep, this isn't over by a long shot. And it's absolutely terrifying. Trump and his cronies should be locked up for inciting this.

I worry about a Biden assassination on inauguration day. The Trumpers probably think killing him (and Harris) would keep Trump in office.

This time they're requesting that people bring their weapons and it sounds much more serious. There is no open carry whatsoever in DC. You also have to have a specific permit from DC to concealed carry and may only do that with the permit for limited lawful purposes. Storming the Capitol or trying to kill the President/President-Elect and other Democratic lawmakers aren’t on that small list of approved purposes. The police present need to quickly arrest ANYONE who has a firearm and doesn’t have DC permit to concealed carry. That will help thin out the crowd.

Don’t take this the wrong way but your country would be so much better if everyone just left their god out of it. I see your point. I am far, very far, from a religious zealot. Given the climate here, I am concerned for Biden, well - for all of us. In the moment, I put in words here, how I was feeling. Not so much in a religious way and more so in a humanitarian way. It was just a quick, short means to convey how I truly felt. And hope. I totally agree with your thoughts on this too.
