Ramifications of the 1/6 Storming of the Capitol Building.

[JLW]

The purpose of this thread is to analyze both the long and short-term ramifications of the 1/6 siege of the Capitol Building.

Most of the ramifications are not good.

1. Less public access to the Capitol Building. There has been some talk about shutting it down to the public. They have already put up additional barriers around the Capitol Building.

2. Diminishment of presidential power and prestige. Expect Congress to limit more presidential power. Trump has already diminished presidential power as he has become a PINO, a President in Name Only. Trump has weakened Presidential authority. I would doubt that military commanders would even follow his orders at this time. Additionally, he has so weakened the presidency that he can’t even command the respect of his own VP or social media companies. This diminishment of prestige and power may not recover even after Trump leaves.

3. A crackdown on domestic terrorists and private militias. Will we see the enactment of a new Patriot ACT aimed at these domestic terrorists? These militias are getting more bold in their threats to the public and the government. Expect more arrests. These militias will find that few will support them in their attempts at violent overthrow of the government.

4. Crackdown by social media companies of incendiary posters and conspiracy theorists.

5. Less Freedom overall. This is the irony of Trumpist who say they are fighting for freedom but the result is less for all of us.

6. Loss of prestige, respect and influence internationally of the American Republic.

7. The eruption of an internecine power struggle within the Republican Party.

These are just some of the ramifications of the 1/6 attack.

There are undoubtedly others.

A further erosion of of respect for the federal government by the citizens, hopefully leading to the states taking back responsibilities that have been ceded to the fed-gov over decades of encroachments upon the 10th amendment. This is a good thing, imho.

One day January 6 will be declared a national holiday, like the Fourth of July or Christmas.

What's wrong with eliminating public access to the US Capitol building?

That's a workplace. You just can't stroll into a steel mill or a coal mine unless you have specific scheduled business. Why not for the capitol?

Although, IMHO, most Congressional sessions should be done "virtually" with the members in their districts.

 

[Agit8r]

Anyone with a brain has seen the obvious need for limiting presidential power this whole century.

More than just statutory limitations, the Executive branch needs to be split into two or more elective units

This would largely staunch the fear on the reactionary right brought on whenever some milqutoast centrist gets elected.

What Trump tried to do was called mob justice and no amount of laws will stop that from happening.

One potentially good thing that has resulted is that a great number have shown themselves and their malevolent intentions toward the country. They must be noted and consequences applied. That means maximum penalties for those convicted in the actual invasion and social censure at least for the likes of those who support and encourage the traitors.

I hope law enforcement agencies start taking the threat of right wing domestic terrorism seriously. The right wing in this country has been its single greatest threat to rise since the Civil War.
Short term, certainly pressure put on social media companies to tamp down on the hate speech. Long term, hard to say. Hopefully, we remember what went on here on Wednesday and
never forget bringing to justice those that carried it out and never forgetting those politicians and right wing media personnel who stoked this insurrection.

How come there was no ramifications when the filthy Lesbos Feminazis stormed the Capitol building during the Kavanaugh hearings?

Or when the Commie assholes stormed the Wisconsin Capitol building?

A physical attack upon the Legislative Branch by the Executive branch is certainly treason, by any reasonable definition. It is nothing less than an act of war against the whole american people.

And while laws alone are likely insufficient, dividing the executive reduces the danger of the the next would-be dictator trying to overthrow our government like trump did.

Oh they will

the new stolen fascist presidency will see to it

Because they didn't try to overthrow the governemnt. Anyone who is for coups and dictatorship has no loyalty to their country and deserves the maximum punishment for treason

Where are all of the names of those that have been arrested. I want names.

Except nothing was stolen. Why don't we just drop that conspiracy theory. He lost. Because he was a lousy President.

Says the thieves who did the stealing

you should become better informed

3 and 4 are good things.

Some can argue 2 is a good thing too, as it's long been said that the Office of the President has too many powers, due to Congress abdicating their responsibility.
