Eventually you just know that they are going to arrest someone and to get out of they are going to claim they really are a Left/Antifa/BLM/Deep State sleeper agent.

Found a link for Here's What It Was Like to Be a Marine Turned Journalist Capturing the US Capitol Assault
The ex-Marine, Chris Jones:courtesy-Chris-Jones-1800.jpg The black guy who donned MAGA hat was apparently a Capitol Police officer. courtesy-Capitol-police-MAGA-hat-1200.jpgI don't know where he got the megaphone. He may have just taken the hat off someone's head. |

I love when the gutless pissants get arrested and immediately show that they have no courage or convictions.
Someone who truly believes a revolution is coming wouldn't worry about going to a prison from which they'd certainly be released and hailed as a hero once the revolution was complete. Someone with conviction would be proud of their actions in the face of any potential punishment. If one can't adhere to one's principles when times are hard, they're not really principles. |

Just asking a question here, you understand. I'm sure the Capitol has 24-hour surveillance cameras. Did they catch the person or persons who apparently ripped out the panic buttons that could have been used by the trapped representatives and staffers to call for help?

CNN just showed, in a story about the heavy military presence in the Captiol, a group of Guardsmen being tiven the stardard guided tour by one of the capitol tour guides.
As an ex grunt I wonder about things about how the soliers are being fed, etc. I suspect almost all of the GUardsmen will have taken the damn tour in their down time.before this is over. |

The QAnon shaman guy (Jake Angeli) just had two additional charges added to the four he was already facing. A grand jury indictment was unsealed - turns out, if there is someone in the building entitled to Secret Service protection, there are additional charges for being in a "restricted" building, not just a federal building.

*Shrugs* If he was a Muslim terrorist the Left would be creaming themselves with rage if he wasn't given a halal diet. I fail to see the difference.
You're a terrorist eat your goddamn prison hotdog. Don't like that, eat the bun. Don't like that don't anything you won't be missed. |

The horned headgear is it seems Lakota Sioux and has significant spiritual and cultural significance. It that I think cultural appropriation should be added to the charges but it does add to the list of reasons he’s a twat.

Part of Amazon’s filing against the Parler lawsuit. It’s not often I’m appalled.

John Harwood on Twitter: from my colleague@kaitlancollins: "John Eastman, the conservative attorney who falsely told Trump that Pence could block certification of Biden's win, is out at Chapman University where he worked, the school announced. He will retire from Chapman, effective immediately"
I don't really know who these people are, but yay for them. I'm happy to see people held accountable for peddling false, dangerous "information." I had gotten used to that NOT happening, though. |

Well, Shaman's defense is basically, "I walked through an open door." I don't know if it can even be established that the "revolutionaries" received a warning to disperse. Obviously this guy, and that Elizabeth chick, knew they were storming Congress but seem unable to grasp that it was a poor choice. And Shaman was carrying a ******* spear.
The zip-tie retired AF Lt. Col. claims he found the zip-ties on the floor. Right. Kudos to Trump for normalizing "lying your ass off 24/7 and getting away with it." You know their defense is going to be, "I was too stupid to know better." I'm dismayed at how entitled these idiots are. |

How many of the people arrested have been confirmed as Antifa? Surely Matt Gaetz and others were not BSing when they said the unrest was caused by left-wing agitators.

You gotta love a lot of the excuses. Florida firefighter Andrew Williams was arrested after a photo surfaced of him wearing a Trump 2020 hat and pointing at a placard for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi inside the US Capitol. His lawyer blamed it on Trump and the Capitol police.
