So there is literally a violent mob storming the US Capitol building right now trying to foment a fascist coup.
Christ Fwiffo. You are almost as much of a beating as Shooey.
I think it's a lot worse because it's coming from a place of misanthropyChrist Fwiffo. You are almost as much of a beating as Shooey.
Didn't Trump attend a rally earlier today?
Yeah, the one that incited this riot.Didn't Trump attend a rally earlier today?

Indeed.I believe so.
Awful, your country is being humiliated by a bunch of clowns.
By a bullet that killed her.

Damn right, traitorous bitch.
Hardly a traitor. A traitor knows full well they are selling out.
QAnon cultists believe they’re in a battle between the light and darkness

If the storming of the Capitol was part tragedy and part farce, its enduring symbol was the bare-chested man in buffalo horns. This was an Arizonian called Jake Angeli, a voiceover artist also known as the QAnon Shaman.
QAnon is a conspiracy theory-turned-cult whose adherents believe that there is a deep state plot run by a paedophile cult whose leaders include the Clintons and the Obamas. This plot was “revealed” online a few years ago by someone calling themselves “Q”, supposedly a security establishment insider. Q has also let it be known that there is a counterplot by freedom-loving Americans and that this is led by none other than Donald Trump. Q supporters believe that the final showdown between the forces of light and darkness is now upon us. When the world is seen through such a warped lens as this, it’s little wonder that belief in democracy, in votes cast and the rule of law have been abandoned by adherents.
Last summer, researchers estimated that online Q sites were followed by about 1.4 million people, mostly in the US. But what starts online does not always stay there, and for the past couple of years Trump and Republican rallies have featured people wearing Q merchandise and waving placards with QAnon slogans on them. Marjorie Greene of Georgia, a Q supporter, was elected to the House of Representatives in November. The former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who has urged the president to declare martial law and re-run the election in some states, has embraced the conspiracy theory and has even suggested that he needs to keep on the move to avoid deep-state assassins. Donald Trump has retweeted Q supporters, as have other leading Republicans.
If you believe what Q supporters believe, then the logic leads you to justify violence. In 2016 a man showed up with an assault rifle at a pizza restaurant in Washington where online fantasists claimed that child-abuse slaves were being held captive in a (non-existent) basement. He was disarmed but there have been other incidents since then. And it appears that the pandemic has encouraged the millenarian sense of the approach of the final battle, not least among underemployed people forced to stay at home because of Covid-19. They fully believe that they are in a life-and-death struggle with evil forces — and that any act, however violent, would be justified.
Inside the Capitol on Wednesday, Angeli was not the only Q supporter. One man who chased a lone black policeman up the stairs inside the building was wearing a Q T-shirt and a woman was pictured inside the Senate chamber holding a Q placard with the legend “Justice for the Children”. It has also been reported that the woman shot dead inside the Capitol was wearing a QAnon T-shirt. Outside, protesters waved placards proclaiming that Joe Biden was a paedophile and that the Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi was Satan. This is no metaphor and this cult is no joke.
She was eliminated by the USSS. They were the last line before elected officials. They told here to not come in and she did, and ate a bullet for it. When the Secret Service says stop, you either do or they shoot you, those are the only two outcomes.
What a foul thread this has become, filled with those who get a hard on when referring to women who got shot.
Lol. If we had a nickle for every post you have made about violence against some imaginary treasonous figment of your imagination we'd all be millionaires. Yet when an actual real life seditionist attacks the People's Building of the United States of America and advances on their duly elected public servants you want to cry crocodile tears. Fuck right off clown.
I mean, he should be looking at some hard federal jail time so this is just the start of his woes ... but he wore his ID badge while attempting to overthrow the government? These Trump clowns are just hilariously inept.

The gates were opened deliberately and you can see that on line.
She was not a black man with a lengthy criminal record, or a drug habit. So that’s alright then. Don’t expect sports teams to start holding vigils for her before games.What a foul thread this has become, filled with those who get a hard on when referring to women who got shot.
Repeatedly warned actually.No warning was called.
You aren't gonna find a lot of cop lovers here. But if your dumbass decides to go drunk bama fan from the top ropes up against an area that the secret service is securing to protect the line of succession during a riot in the capitol, and you get your ass shot in the face, you fucked around and found out.
When do we get a timeout for this thread?
