Please, the whole thing is a publicity stunt. The Capitol Police specifically tweeted that they had arrested 17 members of Congress? They were asked/told to do so.
By whom?
If this is a publicity stunt, then we're deeper down in the rabbit hole than I for one realized. These women may be -- okay, are -- idiots, but they're members of Congress. Why on earth would the Capitol police go along with such an outrageous stunt? Who specifically has the clout to order them to do such a thing?
Not saying your version is wrong. But it feels like too bizarre a stretch. And just because you're not seeing the due process doesn't mean it isn't happening. Or -- and this is probably more likely -- there is no due process and they're being held to keep their stupid yaps off the cameras and making everything worse.
Thinking about this some more, I wonder if this is in fact more serious than we realize. I don't know enough about Constitutional implications of separation of powers to know if they're threatened somehow. It doesn't seem like it, but if there is some threat there, it's going to be a pretty big deal.
I kind of doubt it, though.
You do realize that The Capitol Police is not DC Police? They work directly for The Capitol and report directly to the Speaker of the House. And it’s not exactly a big deal to get them to send out a tweet emphasizing the “arrested”.

Yes, LuFin, I do realize that. I fucking lived there for 13 years.
Although we are subjected to comic book news, we do not live in a comic book world. (You do realize that, don't you?) It may be as simple as Pelosi calling the Capitol Chief and ordering him to do something and bing-bang, it's done, but there's probably a lot more to it, because Washington.
I also can't see the Speaker making that overt a move. But I don't know. Like practically everything that goes on in Washington, we out here don't usually get the whole story.
It may have happened as you say. It may have happened a dozen other ways.

SCOTUS said abortion should be decided by legislatures. I want to help her out. Does anyone know someone in Congress that AOC can contact to push for legislation?

Btw AOC should send her “how to not resist arrest” tips to the 100% of police fatal shootings that are caused by resisting arrest.

At 2:30AM, there is a news embargo at Google on the arrests. Everything is old news. I'm thinking the PTB are using the time to huddle and decide what to do next.
It could be that there is no news because there is nothing to report. But that wouldn't stop the many opinion pieces and various huing and crying and expert prognostications that you'd expect normally.

Yes, we are this far down the rabbit hole. And have been for three or four years, maybe longer.
Ain't no way to run a railroad.

I appreciate the photo George posted showing AOL's wrists. Now we know who's lying.
How many other times has she lied?

She invented a colorful rationalization about how it’s best practice to put your hands behind your back like that, to make sure the cop does not do violence to you.

I don't understand anything.
Members of the US Congress are arrested and there's no reaction from the Congressional leadership? I was willing to wait awhile, give them time to develop a response, but it's been three days, and nothing. And we don't know where the arrestees are, even. Are they in custody? Are they in their home districts? On the House floor conducting business as usual? What's their status going through criminal processing wise?
Is this not a big deal to the PTB?
I understand, even agree, that it's not a big deal given the idiots involved; but shouldn't there be protocol for this?

Their crime was presumably trespassing, so they had to be physically removed from the location. That means attest. If a cop needs to physically move you and you do not move, then they have to arrest you. I mean in theory. I am sure they apply force on occasion without arrest, but if they ask someone to move and the person refuses, then arrest is the only option. But if the person really only wanted to be arrested, and the cop isn’t feeling like taking them in, and the crime can be ticketed for on the spot, the cop can choose to write a ticket and let you go. That’s what happened here. AOC and the others, when they went, did not go back to trespassing. Because their goal had already been fulfilled. I don’t think there is any real lying going on. But it was entirely performative. But then 99% of protestors getting arrested is performative

Ah, that's the part I didn't know about. That answers my questions.
Thanks, Horace.

It is striking how utterly soulless you have to be, to participate in these rituals of performance meant to propagate narratives to the masses, and in support of one's own social status. Never are we closer to our ape ancestors than when we dance these sorts of dances.
