Cheney and Kinzinger discuss this in any detail ?
Asking for a friend.



Well…WaPo investigated the intelligence and security failures in detail back in October.  Apparently Milley feared that Trump could misuse the National Guard to remain in power.  McCarthy wasn’t sure he could rule out such a scenario, especially after Trump fired Esper.  Rosen was worried he’d be replaced by a hack that would do Trump’s election bidding.  FBI officials initially downplayed the threat because it was considered a “first amendment protest” by MAGA supporters and they did not want to get into a dustup with Trump.

You should send the article on the investigation to the two Pelosi RINOS on the J6 committee.  Here’s the link:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/warnings-jan-6-insurrection/.

But as they say, hindsight is 20/20.  I hope Slow Joe has ordered DHS to run a few desktop simulations to help law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal level learn how to respond to a mass attack against the government incited by a sitting president.

I'm guessing they haven't.

Why are you guessing?

"(CNN)More than 80 officials from law enforcement and federal agencies have testified to the House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection, including members of the Secret Service, in what investigators believe will be the most extensive review yet of security failures that led to the US Capitol breach." https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/23/politics/security-failures-january-6-committee-blue-team/index.html

"Inside the Jan. 6 committee, color-coded teams are examining various elements of the attack. A green team is “following the money” and investigating the people who funded the rallies that preceded the riot, while a gold team is examining Trump’s efforts to try to overturn the election, committee aides said.

The people investigating the intelligence and security shortcomings are dubbed the blue team.

The blue team, working behind the scenes, has a different focus: to provide what may be the only detailed appraisal of why the government failed to anticipate and stop the coordinated violence that sent federal lawmakers scrambling to safety in their own building." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/january-6-committee-examines-internal-fbidhs-documents-seeking-answers-rcna11076

"We need to be the party of nationalism," the Georgia lawmaker said during the interview. "I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly—we should be Christian nationalists."

Try as I might I can't figure out what "Christian Nationalism" even means. I'm sure MTG has some sort of vision in her addled brain as to what it is, but it surely disregards that we'd probably be worse off than the Brexiteers if she got her way.

The Christian Nationalists/ Dominionists / Reconstructionists have a fair idea what they want. Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Trump stacked the Federal Courts at all levels. Overturning Roe was obviously a major  goal. They are after substantive due process in general. They want unenumerated rights returned to the states, so the People's representatives can supposedly decide.

Of course, they actually despise Democracy; which they try to undermine via voter suppression  strategies.

The Independent State Legislature doctrine is another big one. See Moore v. Harper.

When they burn down the system, and get cataracts and can't get surgery, cancer and can't get chemo, arthritis and can't get meds, etc... Then again if they burn down the system it will kill the pipeline that brings them McDonalds, and they might be able to avoid dialysis if they don't starve to death. They can always eat Jello Salad I suppose, except The Jello Corporation no longer exists nor does canned fruit. They'd can their own except their trees don't produce, no fertilizer, and they have no sugar to do the preserves anyway.

A late friend was constantly warning about the American Taliban.  He ranted about Christian Reconstructionists, Opus Dei, Dominionism ... It got very tedious. He knew more about Gary North's writings than MTG and that ilk.

 I saw them as a fringe element within the conservative wing of the Republican Party.

We can give him an HQ2 Tempo AOTC Award posthumously, if you like.

Way to go, Sleepy Joe/Brendan!

https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-713680

Al Qaeda leader Zawahiri killed in CIA drone strike
Ayman al-Zawahiri was the leader of al-Qaeda and one of the world’s most-wanted terrorists, who oversaw the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Obama/Biden - killed top 2 9/11 terrorists

GOP - not kill top 2 9/11 terrorists, but did enable storming of the Capitol by domestic terrorists.

About sums it up.

I hope it wasn’t too quick, I hope he had time to realize the United States was ending his worthless evil life.

Related…how can Biden authorize the killing of someone when we've yet to "get to the bottom of what happened" on 9/11?

Good point. Guy only had 4 years to get that done and failed.
