As long as they didn’t accompany a well-thought-out statement on the failures of capitalism with a guillotine gif, I guess it’s all okay.

Such a close call, and it still didn’t make him “Come to Jesus…”

And yet still not enough to convince Pence that Trump needs to be removed from office.
I guess he was holding out for a successful assassination before he was ready to commit.

The more is coming out about this mob (between this and the cop who begged not to be shot) the clearer it is becoming what a close shave this was.

It’s not over. Not even close.

Huh. It’s curious to me that VP Pence would be the target of pitchforks and torches. I always thought it would be the Democrats they were after.
Glad he’s okay. Stay safe everyone.

Alternate headline: Trump rioters broke in one minute late to get shot to death like the Qanon Air Force woman.

In any religious revolution, it is the apostate who are seen as the most evil and deserving of torture and death. And don’t kid yourself, this is a religious revolution, lead by those who worship Trump.

Not being on their side at the crucial moment was worse than being an enemy all along.
This is also why rioters attacked police officers who defended the Capitol. They expected the cops to join them, so not doing so was an unforgivable betrayal.

Nah, they never cared about cops, only white supremacy as enforced through the police.

As always, words mean nothing. Blue Lives only Matter if they don’t get in the way.

It was the RNC that was bombed as well. Trumpers turned on the Republican mainstream hard and fast. The Trump purity test got very extreme, and anyone who wasn’t 110% on board was sentenced to death.

Yeah, pretty much this. A LEO is dead and none of the traitors care. If you see one of those dumb-ass black-and-white-with-a-blue-stripe flags on some stupid-ass SUV, ask them if they still support #45 and listen to them try to wriggle their way out of saying no.

Add measuring and rough carpentry and to the long list of things that these nutters are shitty at.

Man, there are so many problems with that gallows.
First of all, learn how to knot a noose. Aren’t you white suprements supposed to know how to do that?
Second of all, that top pine would fall off as soon as you put some serious weight on it. Regardless of the fact that it doesn’t even span the supports. And where did you get your materials? Pressure treated cypress for the sides of the frame? Where are the L-brackets to keep the thing upright.
Oh, I guess this was a photo-op. Nevermind.

From what I have seen of videos from that shameful day if anyone had come within sight of Pence’s protective detail, they would have been dropped and those not hit would have turned tail and run just like they did when Q-queen was properly executed trying to break through the door into the Speaker’s Lobby.

Um, I think the goal here should be to thwart these nincompoops before they get any better at it. In hindsight, if thia goes down as another beer hall putsch, then we are going to regret it mightily.

You are correct. There’s going to be a lot of dead and imprisoned white supremacists in the next year. I just hope few innocent people are harmed by the nazi’s violence.
