At this point I'd start requiring there be a disclaimer on every show. I know you can't take them off the air because "censorship" but you can require they past big letters at the top of "not factual information" and at this point I think it's pretty necessary. The Fox News rhetoric is literally ruining people's lives at this point if they're part of whatever group they've decided to stamp out on their hate bingo card
“According to testimony received by the Select Committee, the only advisor present who supported President Trump’s inclination to declare victory was Rudolph Giuliani, who appeared to be inebriated.”
Lmao what a shit show >

Rudi always appears to be inebriated. >

I don’t care that his psycho followers will call it all lies. I just want there to be consequences for his actions, and for his cronies as well >

Arrest and charge. Deal with any and all consequences (complaints and riots) as part of the process. >

We need to stop treating their threats of violence as reasons not to push harder.
They have already been violent for years. They will be violent whether Trump gets arrested or not.
Punish Trump, all of his cronies, and all of his violent proto-fascist supporters. Appeasement and complacency never should have been an option. >

This is actually a riveting read. Holy crap, page 20 ... they have an actual photo of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference ... hahhahhaa >

Still cant believe that actually happened, feels like something out of a dream. Though to be fair all four years of his presidency felt like a nightmare. >

That whole election felt like a series finale. >

Because the fucking cowards waited YEARS to get rid of it.
Spez needed all the “valuable discussion” he could get while he stocked his doomsday bunker. >

Spez? You mean Steve 'I would own slaves' Hoffmann? >

The most unintentionally funny thing I've ever read is spez saying in a post apocalyptic world he thinks he would be a leader and being serious.
Spez is like the nerdiest guy I have ever seen, the only thing he is going to be in a post apocalyptic world is an appetizer. >

He's an amuse-bouche if I've ever seen one. >

Big fan of this recommendation:

5. National Special Security Event. 
Until January 6th, 2021, the joint session of Congress for counting electoral votes was not understood to pose the same types of security risks as other major events on Capitol Hill. Both the inaugural and the State of theUnion have long been designated as National Special Security Events, requiring specific security measures and significant advance planning andpreparation. Given what occurred in 2021, Congress and the Executive Branch should work together to designate the joint session of Congress occurring on January 6th as a National Special Security Event.

I feel like this alone would raise the bar quite a bit and should be uncontroversial. >

Any joint session should have an extra level of security. We just had two morons rush the metal detectors while Zelenkskyy and the entire Congress (including VP) were in the room. How the fuck was that considered acceptable on a National Security level? >

Seeing how those morons are part of congress I souks feel better if they were banned from the building for putting coworkers at risk. >

I'd accept them meeting the same fate as any OTHER idiot who forces their way past an ARMED security checkpoint.  If we're not going to kick the insurrectionists out, and we're not going to have consequences when they break the rules, what good is the security detail?  There isn't a version of the January 6th narrative that doesn't mention a LOT of names still in the house, still proudly strutting past guards, knowing they're untouchable, because treating them like criminals would be too p0liTiCaL. >

I'd like to see the bonking stick used on them. I don't know if Congress has one or if only one house has one, but it's normal for a legislative body to have a ceremonial bonking stick for keeping order. usually, they're never used. but I feel like this merits a good bonking. 
unfortunately, it's not possible to arrest a sitting Congress member while Congress is in session. it's quite illegal. but I bet there's someone in at least one of the houses with a bonking stick and the authority to remove people. so that should've happened.
edit: the bonking stick is real. it's only for the house, but it's been used 6 times. the bonking stick is presented to indicate a call to order, and ignoring the bonking stick is cause for arrest per House rules. however, the bonking stick has never been used to hit anyone. this, in my opinion, is a tragedy. >

Good news!  The House has an actual weapon, which you have seen an image of, Nancy Pelosi has a broach she wears on special occasions made in its image.  The Senate's isn't really a weapon, but it could be used that way I suppose.
The fun one is officially in the possession of the House Sergeant at Arms, its called the Mace of the Republic.
The Senate's Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the United States Senate also keeps the Senate Gavel(s), while not as fun as the mace, the current gavel is a solid piece of marble in the shape of an hourglass.  The retired ones... well, the first was cracked by then Vice President Nixon while in a "heated" session, despite the silver end caps put on it to prevent further damage.  The second was quietly retired sometime in the late twenty teens when they realized ivory (gifted by the Republic of India) was probably a bit of a PR hit waiting to happen. >


Recommendation 4:  Congressional committees should continue to evaluate policies of media companies that have had the effect of radicalizing their consumers, including by provoking people to attack their own country.

Golly gee, I wonder which one. >

Guarantee you Republicans are currently working to flip this ‘provoking people to attack their own country’ bit in order to point the finger at Antifa and just about any media outlet they feel like.
There’s no such thing as ‘objectively bad behavior’ with them. Everything is subjective.
