Zip-tie guy's mom is arrested:

[demmiblue]

JUST IN: Remember zip-tie guy in the Senate, Eric Munchel? The FBI just arrested his mom, Lisa Eisenhart, who accompanied him.

According to the statement of the facts, EISENHART also had flex cuffs and was part of a mob that chased police officers inside the Capitol.

SIGNIFICANT: Munchel and Eisenhart aren't just being charged for their actions on Jan. 6. They're being charged with *conspiracy* with "persons known and unknown" to authorities >>>

2. Was she too just tidying up, and found them on the floor, and worried about people tripping?

That's what the AF Lt. Col. said.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. What, really? Omg, I missed that one.

Flex cuffs guy actually said that?

[genxlib]

79. Different guy

There were two guys with flex cuffs. The other one said that

[BlancheSplanchnik]

117. Thanks! Still, who makes excuses like that??

How lame can you get?

122. Who Brings His Mommy To The Revolution?

Jesus F. Christ, this guy is a loser.

Now go to your room while I clean up this mess!!!

3. The family that betrays together, pays together...

...or something like that, so I've heard.

[MLAA]

42. And then stays together in prison!

[halfulglas]

59. You mean he gets to have Mommy WITH him?

Isn't that sweet. To again tidy up after him I suppose.

Like I am EVER going to forget that fucker.

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. Good point.

6. As a mom of 3 adult sons

I just can’t imagine .... what kind of sickos do this?

[Evolve Dammit]

56. seriously boggles the mind. Sick Mo-fos. Would like to know how they got so twisted though.... n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

7. And . . . . . Is she a "Mom" or a "No Mom"?

?resize=1024%2C622&ssl=1

[SMC22307]

8. Yesssssssssssssss! I've been wondering about her.

Thank you to the Twitter sleuths who captured images of the two of them walking up the Capitol stairs and then in the hotel lobby together. And whatever else helped nail these two losers...

[Xipe Totec]

9. And it's up against the wall, you redneck's mother. nt

15. Looks like Kathy Bates in Misery. n/t

[twodogsbarking]

118. Kathy Bates is a favorite of mine

Dolores Claiborne is as good as anything she has done.

[Nevilledog]

20. But he's such a good boy. He helped his mother down the steps.....

[PNW-Dem]

73. What's that strapped to the good boy's hip?

Looks like a handgun. Aren't they illegal with in the district? Perhaps another charge to add to the counts?

[flibbitygiblets]

75. How ironic that these gun nuts won't be allowed to have them for years

and they did it to themselves. (Not that they won't blame the "radical left". Self-reflection is clearly not a 2021 New Year's resolution for this crowd.)

[drray23]

104. Probably a tazer gun.

There were reports that some police officers were tazed by the rioters.

[irisblue]

21. He could have taken her to dinner in DC, but noooooo

[BComplex]

38. Ha ha ha!!

[HUAJIAO]

54. LOLOLOL

[lunatica]

74. Ha!

She was there for emotional support. And just in case someone picked on him.

[Botany]

22. Well, she looks like a nice person

do I need this?

[sarge43]

41. Yes. Because there's the follow up. Bless her heart.

More

[Botany]

115. Just as sweet as apple pie. Bless her heart.

Who says listening to hate talk radio for 30 years makes you mean?

[SunSeeker]

31. Trump complained his supporters looked "low class" that day. He was right about that! nt

[3catwoman3]

46. Actually, he was wrong. They don't just...

...look, low class, they ARE low class. Or even NO class.

[wnylib]

86. In other words, just like Trump,

minus the (claimed) wealth.

And he said they were "special" and that he loved them. We all heard it. How could he turn on his beloved special people, so much like himself?

[Larissa]

114. Who would believe . . .

. . . that the libraries are still free.

[lunatica]

76. I wish the media and social media would repeat that a lot.

It would piss off some of his followers. No one strives to be low class.

[UpInArms]

91. Would another word for that be

Deplorable?

[Maraya1969]

92. Any non-military person dressed up in military type clothes

looks low class. All those Proud Boys and Oath Keepers look like friggin idiots to me.

(Unless it is for Halloween or something like that)

[secondwind]

52. They sure don't look like Antifa.......

[soldierant]

61. Well, she seems nice.

Do I need to add the /s?

[IsItJustMe]

84. Sometimes the picture of the person actually matches the crime. She even looks bitter and honery.

Thanks for posting the picture. I know it's sort of a pain in the butt. But it really adds to the story.

[iluvtennis]

97. Thanks for the pic of them - fkn lunatics. nt

[Baked Potato]

11. Good news!

[Hortensis]

12. Amazing how the paramilitary types, not just the QAnon crazies,

believed they were going to take over and didn't worry about consequences pf losing. Maybe I should say scary, but the only thing they came close to was murdering a bunch of people in congress, maybe the VP, but that's far, far from taking control of government. Maybe some expected to die in a standoff?

[lunatica]

78. I've become convinced that cause and effect consequences

are lacking in a large portion of people. What to some people is obvious simply plays no part in their thinking process.

[Hortensis]

80. Under the influence of groupthink? I've seen it too, just not so many

with such enormous possible consequences. Wow.

[lunatica]

83. Yes. I have the same depressing reaction

It’s not that I have to accept these kind of people. It’s that there a so many millions of them!

[Hortensis]

87. Yes. I'd once read that some from the Third Reich never changed

their thinking while the rest of the nation determinedly wiped that era out of the national consciousness. I didn't know then that radicalizing brains could be...indefinitely, perhaps permanent, though.

Those here who are too far gone to somehow once again become the people they were (better than this!) are going to have a bitter political future.

[Phoenix61]

13. Wow! They both found flexcuffs

lying on the ground? I’m just confused about why they didn’t give them to those police officers. That must have been why they were chasing them, to give them the flexcuffs.


On a more serious note, they are effing toast.

[SergeStorms]

14. Insurrection...

the traitorous game the whole family can play.

It's nice to see a young man doing activities with his mother. She must be so proud.

[keithbvadu2]

16. She could drive her underage son with his illegal rifle to Wisconsin to kill people.

She could drive her underage son with his illegal rifle to Wisconsin to kill people.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

63. I think you are confusing Tennessee zip tie guy #1 bartender with Rittenhouse in Wisconsin. nt

[keithbvadu2]

68. No. Just using them as an example of motherly love.

Dear sweet mother and her darling baby boy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

71. Yeah, Rittenhouse's mother is training him to be an alcoholic. 3 beers at age 18 in a bar

... legally, but still, why does she find that necessary, and a little guy like that would be drunk, unless his liver was well trained already.

How many beers did he have on his fateful night after to calm his nerves or maybe even before?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

70. I think he's joking.

Like she looks like the same type of mother who would've driven Rittenhouse to WI.

[Botany]

17. They're being charged with *conspiracy* with "persons known and unknown"

Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, and Stephan Miller?

[OMGWTF]

27. Donald J. Trump a/k/a "Individual One."

Tick tock mofo!

[Botany]

116. These idiots should know that if they called from inside the capitol the FBI/Capitol police ...

.... know about it and will be able to figure out who "the person" called.

Please Dear God let it be Roger Stone.

[Traildogbob]

32. Everybody is forgetting

Alex Jones. Why is he not in jail. He was the loudest voice pushing the insurrection, stating he was asked to lead the charge.

[Deuxcents]

69. I'm wondering the same thing

There’s video of him with his bullhorn at the front of the pack.

[Traildogbob]

72. And audio

From his show days leading up to the attack, cheering it on and bragging about his participation, and rallying his cult fools, Lizard people and gay frogs.

[wnylib]

90. To paraphrase a saying from

Watergate: Who knew what, when did they know it, and with whom did they share it?

[occupant]

18. Big MaMa

She looks like good prison material....tah tah

[Cousin Dupree]

19. Teach your children well. Or teach them how to riot.

23. Treason is as treason does.

[Gothmog]

24. Stupidity runs in this family

[Traildogbob]

28. Was she

Arrested with flex cuffs? Can we have a picture of that for giggles?

[Chemisse]

77. Hey, I giggled just thinking of it!

[BigmanPigman]

34. We teachers have a saying...

"The nut doesn't fall far from the tree". I wish people would stop blaming educators for the problems in the US. Teachers can only teach so much; Civics, History, etc. The parents are the main source of influence. Don't blame the teachers or education without looking at their home environment.

[MagickMuffin]

40. And our most informative years are from birth to age seven

or so I've been informed.

[csziggy]

93. "Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man."

That sentence is a famous saying and is attributed to St. Ignatius Loyola and also to Aristotle. Some say it is a 'Jesuit' saying. St. Ignatius was the founder of the Jesuit order.

[BigmanPigman]

95. That reminds me of the British documentary series "7 Up"

The filmakers followed several people from the time thwy were 7 to 42 in 7 year intervals. They looked at all the factors that make a person the way they are.

[csziggy]

100. It could be one of the reasons they made the documentary series. nt

[BigmanPigman]

102. I remember the opening of the film

quotes the same quote you posted.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

64. Teachers are constrained by set curricula and pressure to teach for the test. . . . nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. What kind of person brings his mother to an insurrection?

I know a lot of these incel losers probably live in their mothers' basements and can't function unless somebody makes their meals and does their laundry for them, but you'd think they could at least overthrow the government without Mom holding their hand.

[ClusterFreak]

30. Ya, you'd think!!

Good one!

[colorado_ufo]

37. Mother's Day came very early this year!

[panader0]

'Bungalow Bill' by the Beatles.

[ChazInAz]

89. "Our Bill, he looked so fierce..."

"His Mummy batted him..."

[sweetloukillbot]

81. You're assuming she didn't want to be there

Don't excuse her actions by saying her son just brought her along.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

82. I was making a joke. Obviously she wanted to be there.

[Leghorn21]

26. COOL

very very COOL

BYE FUCKERS

[ClusterFreak]

29. Was it "Take Your Mom To The Insurrection Day" last week?

Awww.... and I missed it???

[NBachers]

33. And the Hits . . . just keep on comin'!

[llmart]

101. LOL

That brought back memories of my youth!

[NBachers]

106. It really sounds best out of a car radio, or a mono AM radio speaker.

[llmart]

110. Ha!

Remember when we thought FM was the cat's meow when it came out???

Yes, I had a used VW Beetle with that tinny sounding radio and probably all of three stations that came in.

[Jetheels]

35. Zip-tie guy's mom. I think I have Bingo!

[FakeNoose]

57. No way! No f-ing way

[OhioTim]

36. Just Hope Trump Doesn't Pardon

all of them.

[Dem2theMax]

39. The family that traitors together.

[George II]

43. Why is it that all these rough, tough MAGA "men" have to rely on assistance from their mamas?

At least two of the guys arrested were helped by their mothers, then there's Boebert who got her mother to help direct the insurrectionists and last, and most certainly the least, that Kyle asshole (don't even want to type his last name) who had his mother drive him to his murder spree in Kenosha.

[paleotn]

44. 2 to 1 Eric ratted out his mom.

Who wants to take that action?

[BlueWavePsych]

45. GITMO!

He did say that didn't he? I could have sworn... well, it would be the only "nobody knows more" I would believe.

48. It's a Family Affair

[ornotna]

49. I guess getting a pedicure together just wasn't exciting enough

https://dailymom.com/nurture/10-activities-grow-mother-son-relationship/

It is important for men to take care of their feet too, so what better way to grow your mother-son relationship than with a pedicure? Spend an hour getting foot rubs and relaxing in massage chairs. He may enjoy picking out a neon orange or funky blue nail polish, or will at least enjoy the massage, from the millions of options they have at the nail salon, and you will have a great opportunity to relax while you sit and chat together.

[Hekate]

51. I wonder if in her fantasies she is a "Spartan mother" raising her son to be a warrior?

Bleah.

[marble falls]

53. Herly Merly. I guess one drove whilst the other slept allerway from Tennessee.

[Jon King]

60. Conspiracy charges are a big deal...

Once Garland takes over DOJ, hope there are lots of conspiracy cases built. Once they start seeing 10-15-20 year sentences, most of these crack pots will be slapped awake.

[marie999]

103. If 2 people went in the same car, wouldn't that be a conspiracy?

[yellowcanine]

62. A little mother - son bonding time? Some moms take their son to a ball game. But nooooo.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

65. Can they bunk together?

Eric can take the lower bunk, sort of like living in the basement.

[SheltieLover]

[UpInArms]

98. From your link

"Same as our forefathers, who established this country in 1776. It was a kind of flexing of muscles."


Additionally, Eisenhart, who is a nurse at a hospital, claimed to have driven her and her son from Tennessee to Washington DC in an effort to protest the “stealing of votes” by the Democrats.

She slammed Democrats for having "everything – the media, organizations, the government."

"We have to organize if we’re going to fight back and be heard," she said.

"This country was founded on revolution. If they’re going to take every legitimate means from us, and we can’t even express ourselves on the internet, we won’t even be able to speak freely, what is America for?

"I'd rather die as a 57-year-old woman than live under oppression. I’d rather die and would rather fight," she added.

[tavernier]

Don’t forget your flex cuffs in case you want to hang somebody! And then we’ll have hot chocolate with little marshmallows when you get home.

It's happened far too many times with absolutely no pushback from our side.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

105. The company that makes Tiki Torches just wrote a sympathy letter to the Zip-Tie company.

Nothing like having your company's product name associated with a right-wing Nazi protest to drive sales down.

[Larissa]

109. The Tiki-Torchers

Not the sharpest knives in the drawer. The Tiki flames made it easier to I.D. them. The similar situation with the Capitol rioters. Too big and bad to wear Covid masks made the I.D. of their mugs easier. There's a reason why bank robbers wear masks. And the pièce de résistance was the Capitol rioter who wore his job I.D. in plain view on his chest. Breathtaking.

[calimary]

108. When they took him into custody, I hope they zip-tied him.

Terrorist bastard!
