The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode XIV: T-minus 97 Hours

The shooting occurred at the entrance to the “Speaker’s Lobby” and that door faces a hallway.

The second picture is a different confrontation at the doors of the House chamber. Iirc there was a video with Rep. Jayapal in the balcony area while this happened below.

Cops with guns are on the left side from the rioters viewpoint in the top picture, but would be on the right in the bottom.

If they did this two years ago Trump would spend every waking moment trying to destroy their company.

I don’t think it is.

I think top picture is from this room because it is from above (the woman was not shot where that picture was taken). It looks like the same barricade as in the top picture

The glass windows in both pictures are different and I think the top one matches the ones in the video

Edit: theduker was correct in the summary a couple of posts up

I remember a month ago when I cut our server resources in half because the election traffic spike was over.

no one actually thinks tech companies give a fuck about anything other than money. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be enjoying it when their interests and ours align.

Ron Paul has a massive mail distribution network. Trump can write the article that comes third every pamphlet, after the Buy Gold and Vince Foster articles.

Turns out when you threaten to destroy tech companies they get a little defensive about it.

I think so. They said they were able to clear the area and get them out of there after that. Makes sense that the backup would come from a secure area.

I was worried about this, anything needing to be done?

Dunno, guess we’ll have to wait and see how the next few days go. We’ve actually been holding up remarkably well, all things considered.
