"On or about January 22, 2021, Anna Morgan-Lloyd went to the Greene County Sheriff's Office ("GCSD" ) to obtain a firearms permit. While processing the application, a GCSD employee recognized Morgan-Lloyd as a person that posted on Facebook about the January 6th events at the US capitol... GCSD referred Morgan-Lloyd to the FBI"

I think this just edges out the stupidity of the multiple people who went there wearing their court-ordered ankle bracelets.

John Oliver, are you keeping track? Colbert? Jon Stewart? How 'bout Dave Chappelle? Tiffany Haddish? Even Hannah Gadsby - I bet she could rock an entire Netflix special about the Stoopid Que. Dollar to a doughnut anyone, that Monty Python is already on it?

Got fired the next day and arrested a couple days later.
So, now we're up to at least 3 of these geniuses.

(6,589 posts)So many of these idiots posted pics & video of themselves at the insurrection along with incriminating comments.
Usually stupidity has a detrimental effect on society, but this is one of the few cases where it's actually a benefit.

(569 posts)The "special kind of stupid" award definitely goes to the guy who died by tasing himself in the balls...
... seriously, I would love to have heard that eulogy, I realize his death is a loss (no, it's not) and I'm not making fun of him (yes, I am) but not one of these trump insurrectionists can hold a candle (or a taser) to the sheer stupidity of this one.
That said, I really appreciate these stories.😂😂😂😷

I haven't laughed this much in weeks.
Imagine the FBI agents writing this stuff up in their offices. How do they keep a straight face?

(1,910 posts)The utter level of stupid of Trumpers....from stories like this to the dimwits who used Parler to plan their day....not exactly a scary bunch. These are not uni-bomber level of genius madmen who would actually worry people. These are instead some of our very dumbest.
Now that we have our guard up and Trump let us see their true colors, I like our chances of defeating them going forward.

(3,728 posts)from the highly distorted view of trump, and the fact he is never held accountable for anything.
Thus they do these things thinking they are bullet proof as well.
Time will hopefully dispel those notions, as the recent ruling on trump's tax returns and subsequent investigation will hopefully take down their false prophet.
