Lauren Boebert scares the crap out of me, not only because of what she's already done and said, which is bad enough (and to be clear, I absolutely believe that at a very minimum, she wanted the insurrectionists to find and kill Nancy Pelosi), but because of what I fear she might do in the future. After all, she's the one who wants to carry a gun onto the floor of the House. Is it so far-fetched that someone might say something that ticks her off, and then out comes her gun? Boebert, Brooks, Gosar, Biggs, Hawley, Cruz and Greene all need to be arrested and charged with sedition.

The picture of Boebert outside the Capitol with a dozen or so people shows three of those people in the upper right flashing either 3%er signs or the Okay hand symbol. Even if it's not clear yet that she led them on a tour, it is clear, once again, that she is an anti-government fanatic who has nonetheless been elected to that very government, making her, if nothing else, an internal agitator. I also believe there was coordination and perhaps some secretive funding from the Trump WH for the most well-organized of the insurrectionists and there were plenty of those, people who had equipment, maps, plans to take hostages or perhaps assassinate members of Congress and perhaps VP Pence. They knew they could use as cover the thousands of Trump dupes who didn't care that breaking into the US Capitol was a federal crime and thus selfied their entrance and activities inside. (That, by the way, is unlikely to happen again, the self-owning by the insurrectionists.) The ease of entering a supposedly secure building, perhaps one of the most secure in DC, is only going to energize these folks to do it again, but more likely at state capitols. We're in for an extended period of violence and threats of violence; if it ensues as I think it will, commerce in the US will shrivel up as people will be anxious about leaving their houses and even online merchants and platforms like Amazon will have trouble convincing employees to work. JMHO, of course, but that seems a logical conclusion of anarchy.

This whole thing scares the daylights out of me. I am very concerned about our country.

I truly loathe Lauren Boebert, but that group photo is from Dec 2019 in Colorado. However, it is with several avowed III%-ers, so... *shrug* par for the course for that QAnon loon.

I have a feeling the Capitol Police has (or had, given their penchant for corruption) video imagery of which Congressional reps hosted guests on Jan 5th. Logs, custodial staff witnesses, etc.

The truth will come out.

Excellent piece. Why is it taking so long to get after those politicians involved in trumps insurrection ? Whomever is protecting them (trump probably doesn’t care to) is guilty too.

We can’t move on with our existing Congress with peace and security as long as we know the GOP intentionally planted these traitors into government positions. Now we must get them all out ASAP before they permit any more corruption at our federal level. This is freakin’ scary stuff...
