All the names of the people opposing the new Patriot Act in there. Respect to them for standing up for people's rights, but sadly it will pass. This new Patriot Act was not in response to people breaking into the capitol either. That is just the excuse they are using to get this passed. This was already written and ready to go, just like the original Patriot Act.
While I agree 100% that both parties, in their authoriatian nature, would be willing to pass a "Patriot Act 2.0," there certainly isn't one already written and ready to go. That letter by Tlaib is a cautionary measure.

Hasty cases are weak cases. Information is being collected. Try not to be so rash, okay?
Yet we have literally none of them being brought in for questioning, despite plenty of evidence building up already for that to be done. All that will happen is that a few of the foot soldiers will get slapped on the wrist and given light sentences (at best). This is an easy prediction to make because it's all that's ever done when right wing terrorists do this in your country.

We'll see how quickly the bill shows up, which will surely be hundreds of pages. The Patriot Act was introduced a week after 9/11. Hundreds of pages and Joe Biden took credit for creating it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/and...llance-joe
That's how these things often go. The government is thinking several steps ahead when it comes to taking away people's civil liberties. They do it in stages with different bills so people are more accepting of it.

Looking on Wikipedia, and in the interest of concision, here's a pretty comprehensive list of foreign leaders/groups that are actually supporting Trump in this bullshit:
So, round of applause, Trumpers, your horseshit is putting you on the exact same page as fucking ISIS. Even many of the notorious far-right parties of Europe have denounced the storming of the Capitol.

They've always been on the same page as ISIS. That, is working as intended.

I better call the FBI because I just found one person who was in on it and I better report him
I mean just imagine if someone was saying that about WTC on September 10th, 2001.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I think you'll find that the difference is that the previous republican admin burned the 9/11 ringers for witches, while the recent republican admin lauds the current white separatist ringers as prophets, patriots, and heroes.

Officials say that it may be difficult to remove him from this entrenched position. The terrain is largely inaccessible to conventional forces, the local populace, hostile to western interference in their tribal governments. FBI agents have been actively monitoring an increase in chatter by what they describe as terrorist cells and militias operating independently of direct control by the former rulers government in exile at mar a lago. His support remains undiminished after the failed putsch.
