Boston Globe... you decide. They don't lie about reports from members of Congress and their staff, ya think?
No, indeed. It's just that when I read stuff like this I have to take pause to make sure I am not going down some conspiratorial rabbit hole. This sort of stuff takes a while to process the implications

Look on page 4 in the Amazon response to Parler lawsuit. Very first quoted threat that Amazon cited as examples of threats Parler did not promptly respond to reports by Amazon as being in violation of terms of contract for the hosting service was this one
“Fry’em up. The whole fkn crew. #pelosi #aoc #thesquad #soros #gates #chuckschumer #hrc #obama #adamschiff #blm #antifa we are coming for you and you will know it."
I read through that earlier and I have thought about it in the context of allegations that they had maps and some were allegedly given tours the day before. This, in conjunction with how quickly they found Pelosi's office, which I understand is not the easiest thing to find, and the panic buttons shows far more premeditation and planning than I had imagined, or feel comfortable with.Look on page 4 in the Amazon response to Parler lawsuit.

Yeah and by some members of Congress, as alleged by a witnessing member of Congress. She has not publicly identified them yet, which is understandable but presumably the Dem leadership at least has been notified so they can take it up with whomever they trust at DoJ.
I find that just... chilling.

This does not happen, though. When Spiro Agnew resigned in '74, Tip O'Neill did not become VP: Nixon appointed Leslie Lynch King Jr., the Senate approved the nomination, and he became the first President to never win in a national election.

Wouldn't he be the 2nd president to never win an election, after John Quincy Adams?

I thought that Richard Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as his VP after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, making Ford the first president not to have been elected as either the VP or President.

Yeah that is Jerry Ford, Yousef is just making life complicated...
Agnew resigned in '73 but not over Watergate related matters, rather a tax scandal of his own making. So the situation at the time of Ford's accession to the Vice Presidency was not quite the same as when a President is having to step down or face impeachment and may then do so and the VP would step up and if unable to serve then #3 in succession, Speaker of the House becomes the President.

From what I could see, John Quincey Adams had earlier served as a Senator, a position to which I assume he had been elected, albeit under the exceedingly limited franchise of the time.

Very slight difference: JQA was elevated to the office of President in the Constitutionally prescribed manner, by a vote of the states in the House of Representatives (each state having one vote) as opposed to the VP vacancy filled by appointment by the President and confirmation by the Senate. At least Adams had run in a national presidential election prior to the vote (which, curiously, wikipedia shows having a 26.9% voter turnout).
Shall we discuss what’s going on here?
is that an external drive?
who is the megaphone lady? She seems to know quite a bit
why was this recorded using a potato in 2021?

Uh, okay... pretty much like the raw footage that a foreign terrorist takes to edit later and use as internal critiques, recruitment and training videos.
Meanwhile if someone is thinking to double down on the "drill" that was 1/6, I would suggest they have a look at how things have changed in the meantime .. and that's just if they ever managed to get past perimeter defenses which are definitely different this week compared to last. Anyway inside the Capitol now there are a whole of National Guardsmen and their water, food and other supplies.

I'm amazed at the contradictions in play here. They're at once at least smart enough to plan out a conspiracy to steal government data from an elected official on the fly, yet stupid enough to think recording themselves while in the process of committing a crime was a great idea.

Exactly. This isn't about them suddenly finding morality. Before Trump was a problem but still President and all the power and influence that has. Now he's just extremely bad for business.
Hate to say it, but the 1/6 insurrection has a lot of silver linings for a lot of people. Without it his insanity would just continue and continue to have influence.
Imagine if they were actually competent at this whole coup thing
