What the fuck is going on with the secret service. It’s the most scandal ridden agency in the federal government.
I had a secret service officer point his gun at me once. I blew through a poorly marked secured area on my bike and suddenly I hear “stop or we’ll shoot you.” Then I hear them laughing. I made it through the entire secured area at that point but they made me get off my bike and walk it back the way I came in. Just to be dicks.

Meh, secret service is, I imagine, made up of true killers that are too dumb to actually become senior officers. So, just boot things mixed in with some privilege.

Hopefully they figure out the Secret Service deletions. There are very few people tech savvy enough to delete something that can't be retrieved.
I'm also hoping for a probe into the two high ranking guys who got on the wrong side of Trump, and then got intensive IRS audits.
It all comes down to who is willing to testify. So far we only got a 26 year old who is now under protection from death threats. It would be great to see the flood gates open, because Trump went farther than anyone in American history.
But are political system might be too far gone. Some people say it's Trump. Other people say he's just a symptom of what was going to happen anyway. I can envision a future of nonstop investigations and impeachments.
In the Watergate hearings the country united. Everyone watched the hearings which were presided over by Democrat Sam Ervin and Republican Howard Baker, who put partisan interests aside for the sake of the country. I'm a lifelong Democrat and I remember admiring Baker as much as Ervin. New President Gerald Ford threw his political future away pardoning Nixon, for the sake of the country.
I think there is almost no chance of anything like that happening now.

More and more I think the post-WWII period was a time of unnatural unity and liberty, and now we're back to reality. Not that today is a period of unnatural division.
Definitely get a bit of a 1920s vibe.
Hopefully we get the labor movement and dodge the fascist movement, but, I fear that we're going to be the bad guys this time around and China/EU are gonna be beneficiaries of a labor movement.

You may not have noticed, but Russia and China are busy with creating a brand new multipolar rules-based world order while the US/EU, reacting with horror, try to drag the world into an unwinnable war with Russia. At this point we are like bullies kicking and screaming at the realization that we are losing our ability to simply bully the entire world into submission like the good ol' days.

I like the sudden pro-China turn, too.
Like, China just stopped being a threat and became the future global leader. Immediate 180 as soon as it was convenient.

Thats a very real "maybe" true, because its difficult to know if the U.S is working in lockstep with China or not.
Seems clear that US-Nato is trying to collapse Russia and force them into this global government, but it could also be true that the west is working towards implementing its own forced hive mentality tyrannical system of government in order to compete against China.
LoL, at the other comments.

Omg they just played outtakes from Trumps video he made after the riots. It’s fucking hilarious.
“I don’t want to say the election is over” 😭
“Yesterday is a hard word for me” 😂
Video is up

I was listening to the testimony earlier apparently some of the guys that were guarding Pence called their families to say goodbye because they thought they were going to have fight to the death with the people who were looking for him . It's amazing to me only one person got shot .

Yeah you didn't want to be the SS agents who were guarding Pence. In this situation that was much more dangerous than guarding the President.
We don't know which ones deleted their texts, but guessing it was Trump's detail. I'm a cyber dummy, but assuming an expert can retrieve them. Then it's a debate about what does protecting the President actually mean. But protecting him from political damage isn't there job.
I doubt Trump actually gets penalized but the accumulation of damaging evidence is good. His fund raising is way down and he's lost significant support from old people since the hearings began.

SS had a device update on Jan 27th, so it is entirely possible those texts are not recoverable. Part of the investigation is that they were told to maintain records on...what was it, the 9th and the 16th? Twice before the device update. And they did not.
I guess if they were dumb enough to just throw out their old phones, those could still be found and data recovered, but anybody with half a brain would, I assume, take a drill and put a hole in the hard drive/memory circuits. You can't really recover data from a physical destruction. At least without significant difficulty. Maybe flash memory you could still pull data from around the hole, and same with a hard drive, but I wouldn't count on it.
One of the bigger mass shooters took a drill to his hard drive and they couldn't pull anything off of that.
I actually have a little packet of thermite sitting in the top slot of my hard drive bay in my desktop at home. I set it up in a fit of paranoia and just left it. I think I've disarmed the triggering mechanism since then.
---
As far as Trump, I think he's pretty well isolated himself from the old school establishment. His PAC has more money than the GOP and DNC combined, and he's been putting together lists of people to replace even mid-level bureaucrats as part of his "Schedule F" plan. It seems that he's insulating himself from any possibility of checks and balances, and planning on just replacing the entire government with loyalists.

Trump will not go away....seeing if the GOP will put forward someone else is gonna be pay per view material. Dems better be prepared, its not a sure bet either way.
You have a thermite rig? You need a magniusm ribbon as well. Make sure to have the appropriate fire extinguisher, or you will burn down your home/bunker, that shit doesn't go out with water.

Electric igniter.
And I do have the right extinguisher. Of course, the situation that it would be triggered in would probably be a situation where I no longer get to make decisions, and I really doubt that the average SWAT team knows the difference between a class A, B, K, C, or D fire. They'd probably hurt themselves in confusion.

Folks the walls are closing in!
The Justice Department has been asking witnesses at the Jan 6 hearings about the possibility that Trump did something wrong.
