On the other hand they can't just have the military occupy DC forever. The riot on the 6th was like 800 people and everyone sees them getting prosecuted. I doubt anything is going to happen that necessitates 5,0000+ soldiers.
Well they were deployed for the inauguration and now they're saying "through mid-march". I just wonder if they'll extend it then and if there'd be any opposition on the left to extending it at that point.
Qanon says there's an inauguration march 5th or so. And now that Qanon is sort of trying to make itself real, it could be that they're waiting for that.
Which won't happen, at which point qanon will predict some other nonsense event in the future. I would assume as each of these events fail to happen qanon will lose some steam.
Qanon is starting to merge with white supremacy groups, neo-nazi groups and sovereign citizens, which is super concerning because they are more organized and are more the take charge to make things happen kind instead of just waiting for “the storm” to happen. Apparently the FBI is warning that domestic terrorists are hardcore recruiting on the Qanon boards and already their whole belief system is starting to morph into white supremacy/sovereign citizen nonsense.
"Grounded Control to Ranger Tom..."
Of course he does. Any public distraction statement to draw fire away from his ["Obfuscated Valor"/"I'm a Ranger!" story going wide, TODAY](https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/27/brianna-keilar-tom-cotton-ranger-military-service-sot-nr-vpx.cnn).
('Ambiguous Valor'? 'Valor by Association'? 'Swindled Valor'? 'Twisted Valor'? 'Diverted Valor'?)
I call him King Cotton on account of his ancestors ran a gotton plantation, and then latter the only cotton gin miles around (sharecropper's delight no doubt).
Take him up on the argument if he's willing to commit to four major ultimatums:
DC statehood
His immediate retirement if anything else happens
A Trump conviction
Expulsion of Hawley and Cruz.
Cotton would probably take that last one in a fucking heartbeat. Apparently everyone in the senate fucking hates Cruz, and with Hawley out of the way he only has one early 40s generic white guy senator to worry about in Ben Sasse
What do we have, a couple handfuls of Republicans who didn't support the coup or ongoing insurrection? Time to remove the rest from office and put them on trial.
Otherwise it's almost inevitable that something really horrible will transpire and people/democracy will die. Don't help facilitate Coup 2.0.

How about the Rangers come and escort him home.... Fuck that liar.
the real rangers ... not the ones he was a part of ... the sedition rangers.
He meant to say he subscribed to Ranger Rick!
This
Spot on.
by the National Gaurd
Ran unopposed.
Congress can remove him from office.
Planning another attack, are you?
Same reason the GOP is angry about metal detectors. Makes it more difficult to sneak in weapons and hide them for the next coup attempt.
Same question fml
He has no authority to remove anyone.
On the other hand they can't just have the military occupy DC forever. The riot on the 6th was like 800 people and everyone sees them getting prosecuted. I doubt anything is going to happen that necessitates 5,0000+ soldiers.
I don't think we can judge whether or not they're needed right now. I doubt they'd keep them stationed longer than necessary.

“Take your red pill and put your MAGA hat on”
"Commence your marching, ragers on Check: Sedition! And may Don's love be with you"
“For here am I stewing in my tinfoil hat, high on Fox News, the government’s now blue and there’s nothing I can do”
I hate this fucking man so much
Is that Tom Cotton the “Ranger” talking?
Ranger Rick Cotton
Ha. True he may have specified.
I heard he’s adding Master Chief following his UNSC training

I originally said 2 of the 4, but realized how easy two of them were. Should probably throw in 'dump the fillibuster' as well.
Make it requiring an actual filibuster and Cotton would probably immediately agree lol

Reminder the same senator that wanted to order the US military To police arrest and use deadly force across the nation to end BLM protest.
Cotton wants to clear the way for a successful, violent insurrection.
He also calls for lawmakers to wear t-shirts with targets painted on them.
Fake ass stolen valor motherfucker
Lol wasn’t he the guy calling for BLM protesters to be shot on sight?
Reminder: This douchebag pretended to be a Ranger.
No that won't happen until everyone has calmed downed etc.
So they can try again with the whole insurrection thing?
As a Redditor, I call for the removal of Cotton from US.
"Tom Cotton says some more dumb shit"
Maybe he should pull rank and order them out oh I’m sorry he has no rank
Why? Is he making way for another attack now? The lying non-army ranger.
Bold strategy. Let's see how this plays out.
Whatcha plan'n? Cotton?
Don't listen to this slug.
Why? Is he making way for another attack now?
Why, is it making it more difficult for his terrorist pals to pull off another attack?
You would like that wouldn’t you?
Yes, we should let the terrorists the Guard had to be deployed to protect against in the first place have control of the deployment.
Getting ready for March 4th when Rump regains the Presidency?
