~T edit: This. What did I tell you over and over again after the "[biden]" AFG debacle. We have concurrence. I know what I know, and it's just logic. And remember, Ahmed didn't like that picture taken of his house, did he?

๐ค#Hmmm @BrainStorm_Joe "In my line of work, where we handle projects in occupied buildings, security isnโt an afterthoughtโitโs at the very core of our planning. Ever since Sandy Hook, #Security has been one of the most crucial aspects of any job we take on. Iโve spent over 30 years in both the public and private sectors, and every Director of Security Iโve worked with has been a true professional: sharp, meticulous, and serious about their work.
But itโs beyond baffling to look back at the decisions made since November 2020. They knew a Trump rally would bring a million people to the Capitol, yet somehow, in all those high-level discussions, no one thought to put up a fence? Not one person raised this glaring oversight because there was a โplanโ in place, and what the public was told about January 6 barely scratches the surface. The reality of that day was something entirely different from the narrative we were fedโfiltered, repackaged, and delivered as a ready-made story.
And then, we saw it endlessly branded as an โinsurrection,โ a term that hardly fits the facts, no matter how often itโs repeated. What we saw wasnโt a failure in planning; it was a controlled event. They drip-feed us information in a way so selective and distorted that weโre either tuning it out or forgetting it altogether. This wasnโt just an oversightโit was calculated. or @MariaBartiromo it's #JustACoincidence .
