1. Makes my day!

[SergeStorms]

67. Did he lose....

his lifetime pasta pass too?

[Bradshaw3]

71. Ha!

I caught that from Olive Garden too. Funny in an otherwise dark story.

[SergeStorms]

95. A little humor....

keeps me from bursting into tears lately. That's been my way of dealing with the Trump administration for the past four years.

[Wednesdays]

2. Let's hope this is the first of many, many more. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

115. Almost exactly what I was about to post!

[PJMcK]

3. What's he charged with

Sorry, I don't know who he is.

[irisblue]

7. One of the fools who recorded themselves breaking into the Capitol

I don't know the charges yet.

He was elected to the WVa Assembly in November.

[PJMcK]

12. Thanks!

Sorry to be so lazy! I looked him up after I posted.

Douche should be in jail. He's a treasonous seditionist.

[JohnnyRingo]

81. The OP could have posted that link.

People assume everyone is caught up on what they're talking about.

Thanx for the link!

[irisblue]

92. You're welcome

[Karadeniz]

29. Think I read they're starting with unlawful entry.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

34. He's one of the goons who broke into Pelosi's office.

He's now trying to say that he was only "documenting it", but his own video shows him leading the charge to "move" in.

[PJMcK]

52. Thanks!

Throw the book at him.

These idiots need to be in jail.

[ananda]

4. Sweet!

!!!

[MerryBlooms]

5. R&K

[irisblue]

6. His Grandmother says " He's a Good Man"

Link to tweet

I, personally disagree with his granny.

[MagickMuffin]

16. She also praised trump for inviting the riots at the Capitol

I can see where he got his family education.

[Turin_C3PO]

18. It kinda sounded like

the grandmother was being sarcastic.

[Lucinda]

98. +1

yep

[underpants]

19. My West Virginia is usually pretty good but I lost her there

My family are all from there. I just didn’t make out what she said.

[Saboburns]

50. This is about 15 minutes from

She said she understands news media had to do it's job, but her grandkids were inside. Implying she was shielding them from fright.

Said she was his grandmother.

And finally, rather sarcastically, thanks POTUS Trump for inviting him to the brouhaha.

I think she was great!

[enough]

22. I think she was being sarcastic. NT

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

28. 100% sarcasm. She recognised the officers & journalists were doing their

jobs and knew who the real villain was.

[NYC Liberal]

36. I agree. She also said "he's a fine man"...but, who knows,

maybe he used to be. Normal people do get brainwashed and radicalized, especially with cesspools like Facebook and Fox and hate radio that are full of propaganda and lies. Obviously that doesn’t make any difference in what he did in the end though.

[Yeehah]

48. Yeah, Grannie was being sarcastic

thanking Trump for putting her grandson in jail.

[catbyte]

35. I took it that she was none too pleased with "Mr. Trump" for inviting her little darling to a riot.

Cult members almost always call Dear Leader "President T----."

[NHvet]

37. I took it

that Meemaw was pissed at The Menace. When you come from somewhere that education isn't important, anything is possible. #44 in the nation says a lot.

[StarfishSaver]

45. I don't think she was praising Trump

It sounds like she's pissed with him for getting her grandson thrown in jail.

[Captain Zero]

38. Well at least he doesn't live in his mom's basement...

See this is a problem with the Republican Party. Nominating guys who live with granny?
Cause their voters will elect them?

[vishnura]

84. There are two types of good....

Good to keep and good to throw out!

[EarthFirst]

8. Delicious!

Just in time for the evening news cycle!

[Vivienne235729]

9. YES!!! JUSTICE sweet justice. I hope this is the first of many more.

[Kid Berwyn]

10. Traitor.

Fascist.

Two-fer dumbfuck.

[MagickMuffin]

11. REBELS

how fitting.

[underpants]

17. I'm a loner Dottie. I'm a rebel.

[MagickMuffin]

20. Deleting since some may get the wrong impression

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

104. Ha!

[MineralMan]

13. And they made him wear a mask!

For an anti-masker, that is true defeat.

[Elwood P Dowd]

33. Too bad they didn't make him wear a Biden-Harris 2020 mask. (nt)

[calimary]

76. Ironically if more of these goons were wearing masks

they might be more difficult to identify in photographs. The chances of evading arrest might be easier unless somebody with a conscience turns them in.

[TeamPooka]

83. Their Dear Leader's Luddite-ism caused them to be easily identified.

[calimary]

93. All to the good.

Hey! Nogoodniks! See what can happen when you refuse to wear a mask?

[MineralMan]

96. True.

[MustLoveBeagles]

100. I said something similar to hubby

They aren't very smart.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. YES! Let's see what kind of rebel his is in PRISON.

For a LONG, LONG time.

[roamer65]

15. Looks like a by-election is coming to WVa

[UpInArms]

21. Wonder how he likes his zip ties

Hope they throw away the key.

[GoneOffShore]

23. This makes me happy!

[Delmette2.0]

24. Oh Derrick, hold your head up. Aren't you one of the Proud Boys?

[LuckyLib]

49. Love the hoodie. You look so badass, Derrick.

[wnylib]

79. I think he looks pregnant.

BTW if you look at general tweets at that link (not the responses) there is a tweet farther down from George Conway that says he thinks they have the 67 votes to convict.

[SunSeeker]

26. His "Rebels" sweatshirt shows he is unrepentant. Throw the book at him!

[The Great Escape]

54. I don't know...

where he lives in Wayne County, WV...I assume it is a hoodie for Tolsia High School Rebels. I don't mean to defend him but the Rebels thing is probably coincidental.

[ProfessorGAC]

94. Agreed!

He was probably already wearing that when the feds showed up.
They weren't going to let him change clothes before they nabbed him.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

27. .

Mr Sad Trombone is going to have a busy month.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. Twitter reply:

90. the grandmother

[Rhiannon12866]

91. Thanks!

Good Grief! She must be so proud!

[pamela]

31. I love a good GOP perp walk

Smells like victory.

[marble falls]

32. That was well worth opening Tweet. Made my day, a hoodie with "Rebel" on it ...

As my dear friend Malaise would say -

BWAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAA!!!!

[fleur-de-lisa]

39. Damn, I wish there was video! Oh, there is!

Post #6. Awesome!!!

[ffr]

40. If I was forced to drink for every one of these prick perp walks

I'd be one happy boy!

[Nitram]

41. OK, now I'm really having fun! Pass the popcorn!

[robleb]

42. he's a fine man...

and will make a fine federal prisoner!

[StarfishSaver]

43. He doesn't look so tough and full of himself there, does he?

[irisblue]

56. Evans Fucked around and found out the Feds are not playing with an Insurrection

[DeminPennswoods]

44. Interesting he isn't walking upright and proudly

displaying his face being he was so proud of himself on Wed.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

46. Way to go dumbass!!

[Cha]

47. Aww.. Terrorist Actions are Getting

Consequences!

[scarletwoman]

51. Be still my heart!

[world wide wally]

53. He was pretty proud of himself on Wednesday

Dumbfuck

[brooklynite]

55. That's "The HONORABLE" Derrick Evans, if you please....

[FakeNoose]

57. Oh man, this just made my day!

[BHDem53]

59. Hehe

[Ligyron]

60. Just heard they arrested the guy that was sitting behind Nancy Pelosi's desk too.

All smug with his feet all up on top who also made off with some of her mail. Round 'em up!

[dhol82]

62. Excellent!

That guy really annoyed me with his smug belief of superiority.

[Ligyron]

64. Yup, Richard Barnett is his name.

He been charged with multiple crimes and faces years in prison.

[dhol82]

66. Truly good news.

[tymorial]

61. It would be funny if this whole situation wasn't so soul crushing

[flamin lib]

63. Apologies to Dylan

You used to be so amused,
at the laws you so abused.

Now ya' don't seem so proud,
now ya' don't talk so loud.

Ya happen to scrounging
for an appeal!

Aw how does it feel?

To be on your own,
No lawyer on the phone,
like a Rolling Stone.

[orangecrush]

65. Justice

[C Moon]

68. It's a shame they couldn't get a black FBI agent to do the arrest.

[cureautismnow]

69. He should be charged as an accessory to murder. n/t

[dclarston13]

70. That sweatshirt

says it all.

[kairos12]

72. Now he wears a mask.

[Ilsa]

78. It looks like a mask they put on him. nt

[Blue_playwright]

110. Yeah that looks like a government mask

My hub at the VA comes home with one daily. 🤣 They are cheap but well-made layered cotton.

I bleach the heck outta them.

But yeah, looks like the idiot didn’t even have a mask of his own.

[dclarston13]

73. He probably wont lose his seat either

He should be charged with sedition. I assume they will have several chats with him about what he knows and may even threaten with sedition, but really they should have started out stronger with more serious charges.

[Lasher]

74. His lawyer says he refuses to resign from the legislature.

Gonna add this video to my OP in the WV group.

[gibraltar72]

75. Hey gang don't spread this around. We are supposed to be binding wounds now.

[heckles65]

77. Having lived in the state I can attest...

"WV Delegate" has about the same cachet as "Barefoot Champagne."

[COL Mustard]

80. Excellent!

I'm sure his Momma is proud!

[BobTheSubgenius]

82. Nice work, Derrick!

Walk proudly, you f'ing douchenozzle.

[rustysgurl]

85. I get the feeling

Grandma had already whooped his ass inside the house before the FBI carted him away. Maybe her grandson WAS a good person before he dove headfirst into the rabbit hole. I don't know. I took her "Thank you Mr. Trump" as a sarcastic comment on her part -- blaming him for inciting the crowd.

[JohnnyRingo]

86. George Soros must have paid him to help Antifa

I can't wait until these people are all busted so we can put that conspiracy theory to bed.

If you'd posted the link to the story I would have known who this guy is without searching elsewhere.

[Ishaq]

87. mask

Now the idiot is wearing a mask. These morons for months didn't believe in masks. In this case, I'm sure the feds told this fool to put on a mask

[lpbk2713]

88. That is so good to see ...

I might even make it the wallpaper on my desktop for a while.

[Hulk]

89. Make America great again

Make America great again... round up all these Confederate assholes and put it behind bars for the next 25 years . It isn’t “the South” we have to worry about today, it is the Republicans and the right wing propagandists..

[magicarpet]

97. Vid of Derrick Evans as they jimmied the Capitol door open.

[Dawson Leery]

99. Not a mere perp. A Terrorist.

[Hassler]

101. A Trumpanzee finally figured out the benefit of wearing a mask

Too bad for the moran that he wasn't wearing it at the riot.

[LudwigPastorius]

102. ahem...
