The original video for those who forgot:


This delay also bought the senators a potentially life saving 60 more seconds to escape the incoming mob. He also managed to lead them to a more fortified area. What a fecking hero.

Great story. Anyway, he's lucky those Trump supporters have the IQ and attention span of enemies early Assassin's Creed games.

Between this and claiming he found the zip ties on the ground and was only holding on to them to give them to an officer. Bloke needs to work on his excuses.
To be fair, there wasn't any officers on the streets to give them to so maybe he thought he could enter the Capitol and find one.


This image of Munchel with the caption is just a beaut :lol:

" Munchel reportedly attended the riot with his mom "

Top World of Warcraft guilds will be looking to recruit him as their main tank. World class aggro management right there

I remember seeing a video, pretty sure it was on Twitter, of 10+ protesters dressed in military style gear advancing as a group. They were going through the crowd up the stairs in a line with a hand on the shoulder of the person in front of them.

Can anyone who knows what I'm talking about help me find it?

I think it was from the footage of the shooting.

It was the guy above, Munchel, and the person whose shoulder they had their hands on was their mother, believe it or not!

:lol: hahaha. It looked like he only stopped to cast Avenger's shield, which silences and interrupts for a little while.

That guy has spearheaded an effort to identify several rioters.

The current argument from the crowd upset about Parler being de-listed and Trump being banned...

“If we’re arguing that private businesses can do what they want(ban who they want). That’s fine. But every small business in America should be able to reopen immediately, if this is true.”

Brought to you by the team that created such hits as:

“Protesting getting killed by police is the same as storming the capitol”

“States rights are the most important thing, except when I dont like who they voted for”

“Blue lives matter, just not that one”

“Follow Jesus, just not any of his teachings”

And many, many more.

This officer picked up a baton or a stick and was waiving in front of the terrorists. Just like a matador in front of the bull. It was hilarious if not for such a tragic event.

Hey, they had to find a new argument after their "companies can't do that" one got worse results than a gay couple in a bigoted cake shop.

Unfortunately I thing there will significantly more casualties and fatalities when the inevitable protests begin either just before or during the inauguration
This also concerns me. If these insurrectionists think they are going to get the kid glove treatment again they are in for a rude awakening. They killed a cop, and not just killed him, but beat him to death. If they feel emboldened by their stroll through the capitol they might be surprised to see what the sequel looks like.

Personally I don’t trust the Police or the IC to stop a serious terrorist attack right now. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if a far right wing terrorist was holding a senior law enforcement position and helped plot or facilitate something really nasty.

Hell, we had a congresswoman live tweeting the movements of Pelosi, so anything is possible

Nobody from the far right is going to be happy till they hold captive a Senator, then they will believe the job is done and even then you'll get twats like my Mum believing it's a hoax/set up/Antifa/Sasquatch/Alf and it's not real.

Unfortunately I see it happening too.

They've seen that one of their own was shot dead, rightly. They've seen a load of arrests and public shamings. You won't be seeing mid-western Mommies going to this one for a day out. A pathetic gathering of gravy seals will show up and that'll be it.
Uhm, pretty sure that was woman was antifa :rolleyes:

I still think it's 50:50 as to whether or not Trump is going to try something even wilder in the next 9 days ... like persuading a rogue military unit or two to attempt a coup.

He made a big mistake by not getting the military/intelligence services onside. No coup is every going to succeed without them. Thankfully, he's too lazy/inept to organise anything properly.

I think any further attempt at insurrection is going to get shut down very quickly and with great force.

I don't think that was ever a possibility. The US military is traditionally aloof when it comes to matters of politics. Family/friends who are veterans, even the Trumpers, were adamant that the military has no place in any of this. Hopefully that is the mindset of active duty as well.

Have they captured whoever killed him?

Blow up biden... blame it on iran... nuke them and declare martial law?
I really cant see many options for him ... hes probably downloading as much classified info as he can to sell to china / russia (whichever one offers him the best deal on immunity from extradition)

wasnt it a cop who got beat and trampled by a mob - Im not sure it could be pinned on one person - meh charge them all I say
It was. So there must have been several people involved. I just wondered if they had found and charged anyone for it.

Most of them don't even understand/know what "socialism" is. They seem to think it's authoritarian dictatorship - which ironically is what most of them want from Trump.
It's a discussion from a few pages ago now, but: I think the problem might also be that they don't understand capitalism. I would guess that they think that the US has a purely capitalist economy in place, and that hence anything to limit it is socialism. Obviously, that's false; European countries and the US all have capitalist systems with government interventions to curb its worst excesses (like regarding child labour), it's just that the interventions have different extents. If they understood that every country on the world is somewhere on a scale between full capitalism and full socialism, and that even the US is nowhere the capitalist end point, they might appreciate the discussion better.

Not sure how that could be achieved though. Obviously, these people are already too invested in the narrative they now believe in, and it works better for GOP politicians to stoke that narrative.

The guy is too stupid and narcissistic to flee the US. I bet he honestly thinks he is innocent of everything and can just sue/lawyer everything away.
