Well, guess that could’ve saved me about 11 hours of neurotic doom scrolling yesterday.

Interesting that the mob is all white.

Predominantly. I think there were a few token exceptions in the video.

Yes, it’s Nick Cage.
I suppose this picture is funny only if you’ve seen National Treasure, where he steals an important document as part of the plot. (But if you have seen the movie, it’s hilarious!)

So he’s not really a white supremacist, but just using them as cover for his heist. Veeery clever.

Excellent 7 min video because facial recognition will help arrest people?

Buffalo man?
Where have I seen that guy before?
Seriously, if they cannot find and identify this guy I’m gonna need their badge and their gun.
Wow - that was fast! Jake Angeli, the QAnon Shaman. Can’t he be charged with criminal trespass just from the photos alone?
I think I figured out why he wears such distracting headcoverings:

Pandemic PTSD: It freaked me out to see the reporter standing there without a mask as all of those anti-mask terrorists swarmed around him. With all of that yelling and chanting, there must have been a veritable fog of coronavirus in the air.

So this is how the great American experiment comes to an end; with a violent take-over by the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes…

Yes. Brave guy; he & the crew risked their lives. Good journalism. I got the feeling that the mob tolerated & even enjoyed the attention. A couple of the traitors also had fun trying to scare the reporter & camera crew. I didn’t see a flinch. Still, the overall effect of the story was terrifying, for me.

Interesting? Try unsurprising. White supremacist president recruits white supremacist followers.

Apparently his name is Jake Angeli and he lives in Arizona…
The “Loyal order of water buffalo” is loyal. The bull sheister over there is not.
I’m genuinely worried that yesterday’s events will finally give enough Republicans cover to distance themselves from Trump that the party will survive.
The Republican party deserves Trump as an anchor around their neck and we cannot allow them to slip the chain at this point.
