“Hey, are those Japanese planes?”

“Hmmmm… maybe.”

“I think they’re going to bomb us!”

“Are you sure?”

“Why else would they be flying here in such numbers? And look under the wings!”

“Maybe they’re lost?”

“Dude, we’re being attacked!”

“Get out of here. We should ask them.”

“Hold on, what about all the other (relatively) innocuous uses of those bombs? Let’s not rush to judgement.”

Just in case anyone doesn’t know, since we all keep calling them “zip ties” and there’s been talk that maybe they wanted them for “innocuous” reasons…

Zip tie, NOT the thing the dude was actually carrying:

Flex cuff, the thing that the dude was actually carrying, which has a million riotous household uses:

Yeah. One report that hasn’t been vetted is that they were mixed to be like napalm. All you have to do is add soap shavings.

3403

Aw, hell, in Tennessee we called that addin’ more flavor.

Haha, Twitter immediately deleted Trump’s new messages on the POTUS account.

Focusing on what really matters, I see. Away with you!

If it isn’t, I’ll never believe Hollywood ever again! Seriously, I doubt any dangerous person can’t be quickly traced and monitored through social networks.

MAGA world is in full meltdown mode. They can’t figure out how to live in a world where Donald Trump doesn’t tweet.

The guy could walk out into the rotunda and talk to the press any time he wants. He could call a press conference. He could write a memo. He could submit an op ed to the Washington Post, which would certainly carry it.

The world existed before Twitter, but these idiots have no idea how it worked.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy against hate and violence of any kind on the platform, or the use of Discord to support or organize around violent extremism,” Discord said in a statement shared with The Verge . “While there is no evidence of a server called The Donald being used to organize the Jan 6 riots, Discord decided to ban the entire server today due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence, plan an armed insurrection in the United States, and spread harmful misinformation related to 2020 U.S. election fraud.”

Reddit banned pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald in June following an expansion of its policies to ban hate speech more explicitly. The Donald’s Discord server was one of the places former r/The_Donald members congregated following the ban, as detailed in this Mother Jones article from October.

Reddit also banned unofficial pro-Trump subreddit r/donaldtrump on Friday “given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the US Capitol.”

Let the flood gates continue to open, I say.

3411

Sad.

It’s a good thing Nancy talked to SecDef, because you know he’s going to try and nuke California now.

3413

But how would we even know it happened if he can’t tweet about it?!?!

3414

I happen to know from all the TV I watch that if you bring both arms down with a quick sharp movement, you can snap loose from those.

In the 1980s, we would call this a Dominique Wilkins double tomahawk dunk.

The lectern looting dude has been identified. I didn’t see it mentioned earlier, so:

My favorite detail: “Their home in the Harrison Ranch community in Parrish was quiet on Thursday morning, and the street numbers had been removed from the residence.”

That will surely keep the FBI at bay!

Anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s knows two things about cops:

  1. If your house doesn’t have a number on it, they can’t arrest you
  2. If you ask them if they’re cops, they have to say yes or it’s entrapment
