Capitol Police chief to resign; arrests linked to attack still coming
This is a good overview article on the current status of issues related to the fascist riot in D.C.:
Capitol Police chief to resign; arrests linked to attack still coming WTOP TV News Rick Massimo and Will Vitka @WillVitka January 7, 2021, 7:30 PM Link: https://wtop.com/dc/2021/01/congress-confirms-biden-win-after-trump-mob-storms-capitol/ Excerpts: The head of the U.S. Capitol Police will resign, effective next week, after Wednesday’s violent riot.
+++ As the cleanup continues, D.C. police on Thursday posted the pictures of people of interest in Wednesday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, hoping the public can help identify them. The Capitol Police later called the violence “criminal riotous behavior,” and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called the events “domestic terrorism.” More than 90 people have been arrested so far, with more arrests likely. +++ Later Thursday afternoon, the head of the Capitol Police union also called on Sund to resign, saying the riot “should never have happened.” Gus Papathanasiou said in a statement that a lack of planning led to officers being exposed to violent protesters storming the Capitol and that officers lacked the backup and equipment needed to control rioters. +++ 4 dead in attack A woman identified as Ashli Babbitt, 35, of California, was killed by a Capitol Police officer in the building as people tried to force their way into the House chamber, Sund said in the statement. Three others died of medical emergencies in the chaos. The D.C. police identified them as Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia; Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama; and Benjamin Philips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania. KY.......

Some personal details on the Nashville bombing suspect....
on the Nashville Tennessean via Knox News.com:
Anthony Quinn Warner, self-employed computer guru ID'd as lone Nashville bomber, killed in blast Natalie Allison Nashville Tennessean Link: https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2020/12/27/anthony-quinn-warner-confirmed-person-interest-nashville-explosion/4052711001/ Excerpts: Who was Tony Warner?
Warner grew up in Antioch and attended Antioch High School, graduating in the mid-1970s before settling down in the same community and working various IT jobs. But in just the past month, Warner appeared to put his affairs in order. +++ Yearbooks from Antioch High School show Warner, a short teenager with glasses, played on the school’s golf team. +++ Steve Schmoldt and his wife have lived next door to Warner for 25 years. He described Warner as “low-key” and friendly, though “some people would say he’s a little odd.” “You never saw anyone come and go,” Schmoldt said of Warner’s home. “Never saw him go anywhere. As far as we knew, he was kind of a computer geek that worked at home.” +++ The neighbors never talked about politics or religion. Warner never gave any indication of any closely held ideology. “I can tell you as far as politics, he never had any yard signs or flags in his window or anything like that. If he did have any political beliefs he kept, that was something he kept to himself. The article also said Warner does not have a public presence on social media or other websites. KY.......

Politico & Mary Trump: Trump's lost before. This time's different.
Trump’s lost before. This time’s different.
Politico By MICHAEL KRUSE 12/18/2020 07:13 PM EST https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2020/12/18/trumps-lost-before-this-times-different-491199 Snips... Donald Trump has never had a week like the week he just had. On the heels of the Supreme Court’s knock-back and the Electoral College’s knockout, some of his most reliable supporters — Mitch McConnell, Vladimir Putin, Newsmax — all acknowledged and affirmed the fact of the matter. Trump is a loser. This is new territory for Trump....
“He’s never been in a situation in which he has lost in a way he can’t escape from,” Mary Trump, his niece and the author of the fiercely critical and hugely bestselling book about him and their family, told me the other day. +++ The only moment in his life that remotely compares to what’s happening right now is early 1990, when Trump was mired in a high-profile marital breakup and billions of dollars in debt. That spring, according to Vanity Fair, Trump ordered in burgers and fries and stayed up late in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sometimes, he paged through periodicals looking for his name. But even when he was all but broke, he got to keep living in the penthouse of Trump Tower, the building that had made him famous. “He was always there in his castle,” Alan Marcus, Trump’s publicist later on in the ‘90s, told me. This time, he’s getting evicted. This is the collapse of one of the world's worse psychopathic narcissists EVER, in line with those like Saddam Hussein and Napoleon. Some fear he may be on the way to a complete mental breakdown. Fingers crossed that he won't do something even more extreme and insane before inauguration day. We just want him gone for good.
