to be fair, Tibs is half a day ahead and the results are already known by the time we get the information.

Alas, the conspiracy theory. Everything is a conspiracy theory. Here’s a new cliche to describe this place “It ISN’T what it is.” You just questioned the need for troops as if nothing happened. JFC!
BTW, who is “they”? And are you going on record as being anti-democracy? Sure sounds like you are.

BAKER was threatening the use of violence in the United States and was using social media to recruit and
train like-minded individuals in furtherance of his Anti-Government or Anti Authority Violent Extremism Ideology
BAKER has promoted the killing of United States military officers
As of recent, BAKER's social media posts have escalated, indicating a
potential for immediate threat during upcoming protests in Tallahassee, Florida.
probability exists that BAKER may attempt to violently disrupt protests.
Recently, however, BAKER has been posting messages and
multimedia to his Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts that have been
increasingly ripe with extremist rhetoric.
BAKER has traveled across the United States to participate in protests
that have resulted in violence to include joining the CHOP/CIIAZ movement in
Seattle, Washington during the summer of 2020. CHAZ refers to the "Capitol Hill
Autonomous Zone" and CHOP refers to the "Capitol Hill Organized Protest," which
was a protest and self-declared autonomous zone in the Capitol Hill neighborhood
of Seattle, Washington.
BAKER has used social media as a way to promote, circulate, encourage and educate
officers while at a protest. For instance, BAKER has posted and informed his
followers on how to debilitate law enforcement officers by filling up balloons with
paint and to throw them at law enforcement.
BAKER identifies himself as a "hardcore leftist." BAKER stated he had traveled
to Seattle to participate in the "Revolution
the media which you fawn over who has elevated themselves to being the morally elite.
That is not what he wrote Foggy.The media had a hand in deploying troops to the Capitol? I’d say that you’ve gotta be ******* kidding, but that might not be the most preposterous conspiracy theory that’s been promoted here.

Set up plant. Nice try. I'm actually laughing. That whole **** show inauguration setting has illegitimate stamped on it.
And the MAGA base serves up real-time testimonials of their lunacy, over and over again, thread after thread, page after page.
In the wake of the deadly January 6 riot at the US Capitol that President Donald Trump heavily promoted on social media, platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and others finally moved to ban the president.
The result? A sudden drop in the online spread of election misinformation.
According to research by Zignal Labs, which the Washington Post reported on Saturday, online misinformation about election fraud plunged 73 percent in the weeklong period following Twitter’s decision to ban Trump on January 8.
Which means that, to the extent that the move and the related scrubbing of right-wing conspiracy accounts were aimed at curbing disinformation, the ban appears to be working. Not only has the spread of misinformation slowed, the research indicates online discussion around the topics that motivated the Capitol riot has also diminished.
“Zignal found that the use of hashtags affiliated with the Capitol riot also dipped considerably,” writes the Post, summarizing Zignal’s research. “Mentions of the hashtag #FightforTrump, which was widely deployed across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media services in the week before the rally, dropped 95 percent. #HoldTheLine and the term ‘March for Trump’ also fell more than 95 percent.”
The leading argument against banning Trump was that despite the conspiracy theories, smears, and misinformation he spent years spreading on Twitter and other platforms, as president of the United States, it was important for social media companies to allow him to freely communicate with the public.
But that line of thinking became more tenuous in the weeks following Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden, as the president’s posts increasingly fixated on spreading lies about the election being stolen from him and on fomenting unrest, including promoting the January 6 “Stop the Steal” protest that preceded the violent takeover of the Capitol.
The breaking point finally came in the days following the violence. Instead of unequivocally denouncing the rioters, Trump defended them, writing in a tweet he posted as law enforcement was still trying to clear the Capitol on January 6 that “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away.”
(Hours earlier, Trump had posted a tweet attacking Vice President Mike Pence even as rioters, some of them chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” came perilously close to encountering the vice president while he was being hastily evacuated from the Senate chamber.)
I'm trying to stay out of the back and forth but, do you see anything wrong with your "Know Your Shooter" guide?
*Hint: One of the entries has an inordinate adjective laden description.
File this under the least surprising thing ever.
Trump’s Twitter and Facebook ban is working. One stat shows it.

Just had a thought...he is as harmless as my golden retriever, too. He is in Hungary, right? He can't vote here, why worry over the blathering of a nincompoop? We need to worry more about the idiots that voted for Biden, real and made up.
