No, she counts, but it looks like she wasn’t involved in the riot.
No it isn’t an indication of any such thing.
Over represented?
They’ll probably just check their voter registrations. That’s all it takes for the ruling party.

Over represented. What portion of the general population are veterans? What portion of Republicans are veterans? What portion of those who stormed the Capitol are veterans?

Any time two veterans are together inside a group, they are “over represented”. No need for P-anon amplification.

Getting rid of someone who was involved in the Capitol Riot (aka illegal trespass on the capitol building) seems as justified as getting rid of anyone else who was recently involved in a crime.
That doesn’t take getting rid of people who meet someones definition of extremist, that takes getting rid of people who commit criminal acts.
I don’t see that as the same issue.
What about those who peacefully protested the results of the election outside the building who had no intention of entering illegally or disturbing the peace?
That is what looks suspicious. If the statement was that NG who were involved in criminal acts would be removed, that would be different.
Gov. Abbott of Texas on vetting of NG:
“This is the most offensive thing I’ve ever heard,” Abbott, a Republican, wrote on Twitter. “No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard.”

The military having “closet” extremists or supremacists is acceptable? This isn’t thought police. It’s looking for people already established as extremists or supremacists.

What gives pause to anyone to the right of antifa is the definitions that will be used for extremists and supremacists. If the same definitions are used as we have seen from many on the left, there will be few but other leftists activists who don’t fit that definition.
If they are extremists or literal supremacists that will come out in their actions and they can be removed. If they are expressing constitutionally protected opinions and legal protests, then tough.
How about Republicans get rid of all BLM supporters as extremists, the implication being they are racially selective?
It just leave too much up to the political tendencies of the selector.
In the soviet Union it was known as a purge.

Better dust off that 3rd Amendment.

These are probably not NG Temple Guards. I’d leave anything that looks like this alone.

It’s a parking garage. Think there might be a little CO in there?

With one bathroom.
But don’t worry, you can still eat your Osso Buco outside because y’all don’t want to kill grandma.

All because Trump supporters can’t handle reality.
Tsk tsk
That doesn’t absolve the Democrats of the current situation.

Its not like they deserve some degree of respect, like the elite Congress persons they were there to protect, is it?

That justifies the new admin treating them like dog ■■■■ on their shoe? I shouldn’t be surprised, it’s not like it’s something new.
