One of the interesting things about J6 is how much it freaked out the Members of Congress, over what was a very minor demonstration, nowhere near as threatening as the Kavanaugh hearing riot, for example.

The decision by the Security Forces to evacuate the Members certainly escalated their reactions to the incident - but I think the main driver was their guilty consciences over what they were there to do. The attack on the Kavanaugh hearings was much more dangerous, but Members stood their ground in that case because they felt they were doing the right thing.

The wicked flee where no man pursueth.

Will it have prison cells on the top floor?

I would agree, if they aren’t already corrupt, perverted and compromised when they get there, they damn sure are after a couple of years.

$300 won’t even buy one percent of the coffee mugs they will need.

“$300?”

I assume they meant $300 million. I didn’t write the headline haha

 

You must have written the headline (and the article) as you gave no attribution to anyone else. 

So this is your original material. Or you stole it.

Yup—this is like Jews voting to fund a new HQ for the Nanzi Brownshirts.

Exactly!

Greenbelt.

I thought the Biden junta was against suburban sprawl.

If the FBI needs a new headquarters, put it in Anacostia. Maybe there’s enough room next to DHS on the old St. Elizabeth’s Hospital campus. Or nearby if that site is filling up.

Greenbelt is enough a dump for their new headquarters. I find it odd that Congress will vote hundreds of millions for this nonsense when the GAO found last week that most federal agencies are showing 10 percent occupancy for their office buildings. Just where is the need??

Yep…and they must double down every time someone questions the apparent trap and subsequent draconian response or “the Jig is Up!”

Not really correct. They are not Jews, they are pretending to be Jews.

Who do you believe the Jews are?

This is absolutely disgusting. The FBI doesn’t need a new building, they need new leadership. This is why our country is going down the sewer. The R’s are supposed to offer effective opposition to the utterly insane libtard policies pouring from the dimmocraps. Instead, they join right in with them. Our country cannot survive this. Our conservative voices are lost in the wind. We need Trump back.

No, they will be in the basement, I imagine, with a floor drain.

Edgar never quite came up to Feliks, but whoever is running the show now has shown a lot of potential.

That’s about right for deep stater Republicans - reward one of the most corrupt organizations in out government with a new building. Instead, they should be taking money away from Wray’s mafia.

Numerous corporations have blown huge amounts of money on giant corporate headquarters, even to the extent that such expenditures damaged the company. Why do organizations blow such damaging sums on something they generally don’t need, and which are often counterproductive? It’s about ego. It’s about showing the other companies how successful they are. Something similar happens among heads of government agencies. “Mine is bigger than yours.” The original need for corporate and governmental headquarters is that it made communications easy. But there is literally no need today to bring everyone together in one spot for the sake of communications and coordination. Doing so is actually a danger. An entire organization can be wiped out by a single incident, be it a natural disaster or a manmade disaster. Why does government still operate like it’s 1940? ‘Cause mine is bigger than yours?

This is primarily a local jobs program for Greenbelt.
Moving it there solves nothing. Consolidate it at Quantico if they have tom keep it in NoVA. I say move it to flyover country after they separate the CI responsibility from FBI. Take CI and set up something like an MI5. MI5 has no arrest ability it can only investigate. To make an arrest it has to go through royal prosecution authority & the UK police perform the actual arrest. This new federal CI agency should have to go through federal district attorneys and use the USMS & if needed local police for arrests.
