lol there's footage of a protester taking a selfie with a cop

glennmagusharvey · 2021-01-06 20:56:43

apparently possible explosive devices were found at the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee, and the latter has already been detonated safely

glennmagusharvey · 2021-01-06 20:57:50

kinda symbolic that there's a protester taking down the American flag and replacing it with a Trump flag

glennmagusharvey · 2021-01-06 21:05:31

someone pointed out that these people are actually armed

like, with guns

they may count as terrorists

https://politicalwire.com/2021/01/06/ivanka-trump-calls-mob-american-patriots/

Ivanka Trump took to Twitter to urge “American patriots” to halt the violence in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday as pro-Trump protesters stormed the capitol in protest of a vote to certify his defeat in the 2020 election, The Hill reports.

She then deleted the tweet.

I would post my meme involving a captioned picture of Fate Testarossa, but she doesn't deserve to be soiled by being associated with Ivanka Trump.

It's entirely appropriate that what I'm munching on right now is beef jerky.

There are a bunch of people now calling for impeachment, removal via the 25th amendment, or otherwise strongly flaming the stuff that's been happening.

Most of them are Democrats, though there are some Republicans, including this guy:

Also Gov. Phil Scott (R-VT).
