Trump supporters storm the Capitol Building

[grahamiam]

Thanks, I didn’t know what most of that stuff meant. Unsurprisingly, everything is very sinister.

Hmm, I wonder what the bible they claim to follow would say about a woman claiming to be a prophet of god and that she literally spoke for him.

I’m glad to see that this thread has slowed down a bit. It was exhausting taking a few hours to catch up on 400 posts only to come back a few hours later and find that there are 350 new posts.

Most of us were asleep. It’s warming back up.

What an odd conversation. How could using intimidation and violence for political ends, especially considering the target of the terror was actual politicians, not be terrorism? It’s the very definition. I mean there’s really no better example of terrorism.

Plus, this isn’t some one off. This was just the current culmination of a campaign of terror.

A campaign of terror that still continues:

Homemade napalm also tends to be considered terroristic by many.

and thanks to that tweet, everyone who read it now knows how to make it.

@kerzain

They identify as revolutionaries. They’re just like Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson… only a lot poopier.

Benedict arnold was a revolutionary too, wasnt he?

So is arnold considered the biggest traitor in american history? Maybe there’s an opportunity for the don to finally get some recognition here…

@jpinard

Unreal.

They are wearing orange caps to identify each other;

Damn it, my favorite hat is orange.

Also, the guy they pictured for the Oathbreaker’s symbol is none other than Jon Shaffer, from Iced Earth, a heavy metal band that I had been quite fond of for over 25 years.

The green, white and black flag was created by some members of the 4chan online community to represent a made-up joke country named for “Kek,” a fictional god they also created. It has long been present at right-wing and far-right rallies.

“The Kekistan flag is controversial because its design was partially derived from a Nazi-era flag; this was apparently done on purpose as a joke,” Pitcavage explained. “Younger right-wingers coming from the 4chan subculture (both mainstream right and extreme right) often like to display the Kekistan flag at rallies and events.”

‘kek’ was Wow’s translation where the opposing faction typed LOL at you.

Absolutely.

Comedy and Tragedy

[triggercut]

Was just coming to post: lectern happy guy has been arrested.

[Woolen_Horde]

All these asshats shaved like that was going to fool anyone. “It’s not me! Look, that guy has a beard!”

[vinraith]

Oh no, they got Via Getty!

[Mark_Crump]

There is something about his picture with the lectern that screams “Hi Mom!”

[espressojim]

We arresting all the stock photography next?

[Thrag]

The Via Getty bit is going to crack me up for a long time to come. Truly if it weren’t for all the comedy in this tragedy I’d have just been yelling at my screen for the last few days.

Yay. I wish him the very best.

Their capitalist God was talking about false profits.

[abrandt]

I realize that his hat says TRUMP, but it’s so very appropriate that all you can really read is the RU.
