As the good poster Rambunctious stated--
So, in my opinion, if it was not incompetence and uncaring for government employees.......then it had to be mendacity.
- the staff was still wrestling with the impacts of Covid (it was, after all, 2020, early 2021. Covid was still a thing. Trust me.)
- And the Ellipse was two miles away.
- And without the required ....indeed, intentionally forbidden to even be requested..... permit to march, why would the Capitol legislators, their leadership, their staffs, and the police, well why would they think sh*t was gonna happen? It was merely a speech by the lame-duck defeated President? And it was two miles away.
- And why would that lame-duck, knowing he was going to aim an agitated mob at that Capitol, well, why didn't he have one of his minions give the Capitol leadership, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell and the Sergeants at Arms.....why didn't he give them a heads up he was ordering up a march on them?
I hope I was clear on that.

OK, amigo, you allege it.
You prove it.
It is the responsible adult thing to do.
I am mildly confident you understand the duties embedded in adult discourse.
Show your proof.
Or go.
No they weren't, Pelosi was responsible, she was in charge of security and she was warned. Prove otherwisethe staff was still wrestling with the impacts of Covid (it was, after all, 2020, early 2021. Covid was still a thing. Trust me.)
