Getting information is one thing, agitating and enabling the protest, or turning it into a violent one is another. And yes, it's hardly the first time it has been done, the name for those types of operations is agent provocateur or agitprop.

Man, it's beneath you to be propagating stupid conspiracy theories.

There's only ONE reason why all those people marched to the Capitol. And you know his name.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

It was a little green men that Putin sent when they took over Crimea. Why do you accuse the FBI? How do you know Trumpist didn't organize their own Little Green men with earpiece communication devices?

You guys, not you EOB, are such idiots.

You're ignoring the fact that the insurrectionists are adults and should know the difference between right and wrong. Somebody (or some people) saying we should attack the Capitol doesn't absolve the insurrectionists from guilt.

The issue here is, who did the rioting on J6, and who did the strolling...

Plenty of precedents of feds infiltrating protest movements to paint them as violent radicals, disrupt and discredit them (see fed program Cointelpro).

I agree with you.

And for your edification, not only have their been countless Evening News pieces replaying the speech making by Trump saying how "you've got to fight, fight like hell or you won't have a country", and directing the crowd that HE assembled to march to the Capitol, but also a group of bipartisan congressmen prepared for you lengthy reviews to assist in overcoming your partisan filter.

Yet, you are unable. Unable.
Which therefore may be better described as a dis-ability. A disability of logic and judgment.
And that makes me pity you.




I liked you better when you were pleasuring yourself with barely legal, barely mature, adults.

Tom, you don't get it: the Evening News and Washington Post are not trustworthy sources anymore. If you wanna convince Cal88 of anything, you need to find some Twitter randos who are reporting the real truth.

Certainly Twitter randos should be able to see and here actual video of Trump speaking in front of a camera.
We don't need reporters other than to post trump in his own words.

I guess that's your point.
Some folks aren't interested in what actually happened, but in the rando rage.

And then they become flummoxed by simply typing TDS over and over again.
That was funny!

It's over 9 hours later, so this is more broken news than breaking news, but the National Weather Service issued the first ever tornado warning for San Francisco around 6 AM this morning. The news story I saw showed a few trees knocked down but apparently it wasn't a tornado.

Tornado Warning for San Francisco

Between this and the tsunami warning for Berkeley (because somehow a big wave is going to make it through the Golden Gate opening, travel across the bay, and still hit the eastern shore with great force?), it seems like we need a total and complete shutdown of the NWS until we can figure out what's going on.

The National Weather Service has nothing to do with issuing Tsunami Warnings. That's done by the Tsunami Warning Centers (there are at least 3 or 4 with ones in Alaska and Hawaii) and the National Weather Service just passes them along through their well established communications network. I do recall there was a small tsunami inside the bay that hit Berkeley after the 1964 Alaska earthquake (I'm relying on my memory, so I could be wrong about this) though the recent earthquake wasn't anywhere near that strong. I agree that mentioning Berkeley in the tsunami warning was overkill and could have waited 30 minutes or so until they had tsunami reports from near the epicenter.

As for the tornado warning, there were trees downed, so it was at least a severe thunderstorm. They said the storm had rotation so that would make a tornado possible. However, the radar is in the Santa Cruz mountains if I'm not mistaken (Mt. Umunhum?), so the radar beam would probably be sampling a couple thousand feet above ground at San Francisco. That makes it difficult to be certain whether there is a tornado at the surface or just a rotating mesocyclone aloft. Usually the decision is to err on the side of caution and issue the tornado warning though it's more of an art than a science. Better to issue a warning and have a false alarm than to not issue and have people get hurt or killed by an unwarned upon tornado that they weren't prepared for. West coast forecasters don't get nearly as much practice as the ones in Oklahoma and Kansas, so they tend to be less skilled at it.

You shouldn't be waiting for an intelligent response from 88. Its too much to interrupt his Girls Gone Wild viewing. I'm still waiting for him to respond in the Ukraine thread. He and Goggles. I don't even know where Goggles went after his absurd Hunter Biden posts. Just count on retweeting absurd theories on Jan 6th, America's sweetheart Tulsi or those "mysterious" drones in New Jersey.

Of course, the IG report exposing Chris Wray and the FBI comes out a month after the election.

Yes, based on precedent the reports are supposed to happen days before the election.

Wait a minute, is the election over? I thought they were still counting ballots in California.

West coast forecasters don't get nearly as much practice as the ones in Oklahoma and Kansas, so they tend to be less skilled at it.

I was of course being a bit facetious, but thanks for the explanations!
OK, that's good. I have a few friends that work for the National Weather Service and I feel compelled to speak up if I think they are being unfairly maligned. Having read Project 2025, I fear for all science related to climate and their jobs don't appear too safe right now.

It's over 9 hours later, so this is more broken news than breaking news, but the National Weather Service issued the first ever tornado warning for San Francisco around 6 AM this morning. The news story I saw showed a few trees knocked down but apparently it wasn't a tornado.

Tornado Warning for San Francisco

Between this and the tsunami warning for Berkeley (because somehow a big wave is going to make it through the Golden Gate opening, travel across the bay, and still hit the eastern shore with great force?), it seems like we need a total and complete shutdown of the NWS until we can figure out what's going on.
The National Weather Service has nothing to do with issuing Tsunami Warnings. That's done by the Tsunami Warning Centers (there are at least 3 or 4 with ones in Alaska and Hawaii) and the National Weather Service just passes them along through their well established communications network. I do recall there was a small tsunami inside the bay that hit Berkeley after the 1964 Alaska earthquake (I'm relying on my memory, so I could be wrong about this) though the recent earthquake wasn't anywhere near that strong. I agree that mentioning Berkeley in the tsunami warning was overkill and could have waited 30 minutes or so until they had tsunami reports from near the epicenter.

As for the tornado warning, there were trees downed, so it was at least a severe thunderstorm. They said the storm had rotation so that would make a tornado possible. However, the radar is in the Santa Cruz mountains if I'm not mistaken (Mt. Umunhum?), so the radar beam would probably be sampling a couple thousand feet above ground at San Francisco. That makes it difficult to be certain whether there is a tornado at the surface or just a rotating mesocyclone aloft. Usually the decision is to err on the side of caution and issue the tornado warning though it's more of an art than a science. Better to issue a warning and have a false alarm than to not issue and have people get hurt or killed by an unwarned upon tornado that they weren't prepared for. West coast forecasters don't get nearly as much practice as the ones in Oklahoma and Kansas, so they tend to be less skilled at it.

I agreed long time ago.
Just like how people became deranged by the madness of what Hitler was doing. It didn't make sense then, and it doesn't make sense now.


Yes, literally Hitler, and Mein Kampf is Project 2025 Lite.

Hitler had a time machine and learned from Project 2025. That's how he did it.

Tom, you don't get it: the Evening News and Washington Post are not trustworthy sources anymore. If you wanna convince Cal88 of anything, you need to find some Twitter randos who are reporting the real truth.

Trump Truth Social?

How can J6 protestors be held for 3-4 ,years without a trial, and with Discovery blocked?

Chris Rock on SNL:

"Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. [US Presidency] We've had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I'm just talking about Bill Clinton,' Rock said in one of his more memorable zingers."
