Storming of the Capitol Was Pretty Cool

[PNW-Dem]

About time something interesting happened. It made the MAGAs look like a bunch of dumbass fools. It was really smart of them to film their antics on Instagram. Some have already been fired from their jobs. Many will face future repercussions. I wonder if they are tired of winning yet. Is this how they plan to conduct their "civil war"? If so, that should also be fun to watch.

1. Civil War: but how will we identify them

THE RED CAPS ARE COMING, THE RED CAPS ARE COMING.


LOSERS!

[lpbk2713]

28. By their green teeth.

[marybourg]

2. Kind'a looks like a famous bar scene.

[TygrBright]

3. Truly a Coup d'Twat... n/t

[BamaRefugee]

4. Never getting laid does something to a guy.

Started to say "to a man" but, nah.

[CottonBear]

5. They've reached peak Idiocracy.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Steal His Look

[PNW-Dem]

10. That is awesome

October 31st here I come...

[LeftInTX]

23. I highly doubt his $10 clown make up is Urban Decay powder shadow!

[ffr]

39. .

[Tanuki]

47. Lol! Good one!

[AmyStrange]

7. How come nobody's got any guns?

-

You'd think that would be one of the first things they teach you in INSURRECTION 101:

BRING GUNS!

And what's with the guys in masks?

I'll bet you they got lots of shit from the other macho assholes there.
===========

[PNW-Dem]

12. What a bunch of posers

You are either a true believer or your not. Ditch the mask and give your body to the game...

[AmyStrange]

15. "Posers"

-

perfect word choice.
=======

[lagomorph777]

20. They had guns; at least one arrest was because of a gun.

[AmyStrange]

24. Just one guy took that INSURRECTION 101 class?

-

I wonder how they do insurrections in other countries?

None of this makes any sense.
=========

[lagomorph777]

29. I just happened to read one cop's report of arresting a dude who was armed.

Likely there were many more.

And I'd say there was a fair amount of planning in the whole thing, just not very smart planning.

For example, coordinating with all the local enforcement jurisdictions (capitol police, National Guard, etc) to be unprepared, even though everybody knew this was coming (their online planning was very visible and widely reported).

[AmyStrange]

35. No doubt...

-

it was a very, very, very, VERY badly planned insurrection.

Or, it was something else all together, and they didn't realize they were going to be considered insurrectionist.
============

[lagomorph777]

36. What else would you call it?

[AmyStrange]

37. A Comic Con get together.

-

If you didn't know that was taken in the Capitol, what would you call it?
=============

[lagomorph777]

38. A violent assault by a mob of insane people.

Not in any way amusing.

[AmyStrange]

43. I don't see any violence in THAT picture, but...

-

I do agree that they're BAT-SHIT CRAZY people, although, NOT because of that picture.
=============

[BComplex]

32. about 90% of them had back-packs.

That was what our whole family was looking at as this was happening.

[AmyStrange]

33. You think their guns were in the backpacks?

-

Ok, I can buy that as a possible.
==============

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. If that's what their sending for a civil war, I'm eager...

... to participate as their opposition.

Not that it will ever happen, but just look at those vacant-eyed wimps!

[monmouth4]

19. I'm 80 years old, but I am originally from Jersey. I could take these jerks, lemme at 'em. LOL n/t

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. Go get 'em!

[PNW-Dem]

48. Amen brother

Sign me up. Wolverines!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

51. Lol, I hated that movie back in the 80's.

Red Dawn. Our government somehow folded to a bunch of Yahoos from Cuba who conquered this country, but those independent-minded country boys fought to save us all!

I was just a dumb and naive kid when I first saw it, but I wasn't as dumb as the country bumpkin "adults" who loved that idiotic movie. Some of them are probably in the Trump cult now.

Other than that...

[Silent3]

9. In their deluded minds, they were going to be heros.

Trump would be President and they'd be getting medals, they'd be rendered as heroic statues in parks and plazas across a grateful nation.

Instead they'll lose their jobs and get arrested.

Funny how that works out.

[PNW-Dem]

14. and I'd be sitting here laughing my ass off at them

oh wait, that's reality!

[lagomorph777]

17. I think we should bronze them.

Put them up as statues in the dog park. Buried up to their necks.

[BruceWane]

11. Reality Check

"We're gonna be HEROES!!!"

No, but you will be very "popular" in your cell block.

[BlueIdaho]

13. A generation of violent gaming has brought us to this.

A dungeons and dragons army.

[Turin_C3PO]

21. Plenty of liberals play violent games too.

My brother and his friends are one example. It’s not due to violent video games, violent music, or violent movies. It’s because of dangerous propaganda emanating from social media, hate radio, and networks like Fox News and OAN.

[BlueIdaho]

25. It's all of the above.

And there are stats to prove it.

[lagomorph777]

16. The two on the right have been ID'd for sure; the one far right has been fired already.

Maybe because you can see his work badge.

[David__77]

42. More identification information.

According to some, the bearded man is Jason Tankersley, a Maryland neo-Nazi. The one taking the photo is, according to some, well-known (among anti-fascist activists) Nazi Matthew Heimbach.

[musette_sf]

18. As I read somewhere else this week,

looks like a convention for domestic abuse convictions and unpaid child support

[AmyStrange]

31. They just got lost on their way to Comic Con, but...

-

I like your imagery better.


Also, I apologize to ALL Comic Con participants for the insult.
========

[yaesu]

26. Basically America right now

By the way, this was sent to be by my Scottish friend, we are truly the laughingstock country

[Midnight Writer]

27. The guy on the right side of the picture (with employee ID badge) was fired from his job.

Dumbass.

[sanatanadharma]

30. The tribe poses for the white-mans' cameras

Looks like a 19th century photograph of the 'natives'.
Actually it is documentation of 21st century posers.
Could make a nice poster meme.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

34. "Storming of the Capitol Was Pretty Cool"? Uh...No.

[David__77]

40. About two of those people to the left who were called "antifa."

Link to tweet

[AmyStrange]

44. Why is his hair parted differently?

-

How sure is this guy?
=======

[David__77]

45. I don't think that that is known with certainty.

What is clear is that the person that was cited as being "antifa" was in fact someone featured on an anti-fascist site as being a fascist. So, if the right-wingers were correct that the photos show the same person, then that person is in fact a fascist and not an anti-fascist.

[AmyStrange]

46. Thank you

[PNW-Dem]

49. These idiots are toast

Ever heard of Clearview AI? If law enforcement wants to get them, they will. Question is how motivated they will be.

[Dem2]

41. I hate to admit this

But once I knew the lawmakers were safe, I found it rather amusing that these fools were sacrificing so much for so little. Utter buffoons. Or as P.T. Barnum once said "there's a sucker born every minute". It was more of a circus than anything.

[PNW-Dem]

50. Word

We should all be this dismissive of these morons, or as the MAGAs say, "get a brain moran"
