He’s an idiot for having guns in his car, but that sounds like he was sent out to test effectiveness of the fake credentials.

Seems like it was a unauthorized credential, not fake..


I hope the SS, police, and those Searching and scanning are on their game this week.. I really hope they move this to an unannounced area and have a few people there.

Or not have an inauguration. I know it sucks but at these times the President could be sworn in anywhere.

Some Trump fans think Pelosi was arrested and their is a double of her that is a agent going to arrest Biden at the inauguration.



And some think Trump and Biden will have operation and change faces and Trump will stay in Power but with Biden’s appearance.

Fucking wut.

Dude, I have no idea.

I can't even fathom that right now.

EDIT

Unless this is typical taken-to-the-extreme paranoia that the military does on a day-to-day basis.

Example: when I got to NM it was several months before my security clearance was set to need review. I logged into do all of my questioning and there was a question regarding whether or not I had received disciplinary paperwork at a prior base. I was honest and said yes. I completed the questions and thought nothing else of it.

A couple months later I was called by the investigator and told I needed to be interviewed to make sure that I didn't harbor any feelings from the people I received paperwork from. My interview was one-on-one with this investigator. I had to detail my interactions, my feelings, the context, everything. Eventually it was written up as routine and I was cleared to maintain my clearance.

That being said, I wonder what kind of intel would have to exist to mandate 25,000 people be vetted 48 hours before the inauguration. Could be as simple as "Wow, we just took more people than we have deployed to the middle east, put them in DC, gave them weapons, and told them to show force before during a presidential inauguration....ummm, maybe we should check them?" If it's anything more concerning, then I'm stumped.

I mean, they’re already (continually) scanning the social profiles of people who have security clearances, right? And to do that, they’re using software to flag profiles for further review. 25,000 wouldn’t take long.

Having said that, it would make sense to arrest/detain people for spreading misinformation from now until after the inauguration.

Nope it is going to be people who had people paid for access.
business insider wrote:While the identities of the 100 are not known, some of the president's allies are said to believe that many of the pardons or commutations will go to people Trump expects to benefit from in the future.

"Everything is a transaction," a source told CNN. "He likes pardons because it is unilateral. And he likes doing favors for people he thinks will owe him."
Though the identities of the 100 people are still unknown, CNN reported that Dr. Salomon Melgen, an eye doctor from Florida who is in prison after being found guilty of healthcare fraud, was expected to be one of those granted clemency.

Bloomberg reported last week that the rappers Lil Wayne — who faces prison time — and Kodak Black — who is in prison — were also being considered for pardons.

And exactly what happens to the military bases in those states?

All those states have bases with nukes and fighters. Texas alone has 6 active duty bases, to include the "Gateway to the Air Force" base in Lackland where basic training is conducted.

This sounds like idiot fan fiction.

Brian, Wyoming is one of the richest states in the union. Individual income tax doesn’t put much in because of low population, but mining industry in WY is huge and much more than offsets.

Wyoming is an exception to the rule that red states are generally "takers", not "makers".

That said, they still might find it a lot tougher sledding in a "country" of 750,000-ish people without federal management of a state that is mostly BLM land, etc., etc.
