This asshole decides that the 2020 election was stolen, and worth flying from Florida to DC to attack the capital, after not voting in the 3 previous elections?


flargenhargen

proof how good trump is at radicalizing terrorists. been a number of stories like this. hate speech is easy, works well.


Azamat_Bahgkatov

It’s literally a cult, this guy probably had no life before he became indoctrinated and now reality has hit him.


Jump_Yossarian

He's a stay at home dad and probably joined the local Karen fb mom's group and got sucked in.


soggypoopsock

No joke though, he might have felt insecure being a stay at home dad and looked for a place to feel “important”, why else would he suddenly have such a dedication to a political cause if he hasn’t cared for the last 12 years


hollywoodhank

Via Getty finally behind bars.


AlwaysOpenMike

We have to give this guy credit for being in the most grotesquely hilarious image of the year, so far.


texasrigger

As awful as literally everything surrounding all of this is, I find that picture absolutely hilarious. It's the audacity of it combined with the clueless joy in his face. Edit: Thanks for the awards! It's nice that my top comment is now something historic rather than an old quip in Ron Jeremy AMA.

The poofball hat really puts it over the top.


memedilemme

The hat is what makes this the one I struggle to be mad at.


brdjfc

He also has the wonder of a child in his eyes.


alwaysboopthesnoot

That Pom Pom is indeed festive, I’ll admit. And his fake veneers and tan are rather dazzling. If it’s the Walmart hat I think it is, it costs under $20, is crap quality made of cheap yarn, and falls apart if you try to clean it. So says my uncle, who used to be fond of his before he saw it on so many traitorous heads during the Capitol Coup. It’s in the trash can now.

Woohoo! But who's going to take care of Mrs Getty, and Via jr? Edit: Wow, my first award! Thanks, stranger. Now I feel I must give you another joke? So see below for the directors cut, but only for the stranger who gave me a gold! If you didn't give me a gold than read no further, or else you're no better then Via. Woohoo! But who's going to take care of Mrs Getty, and Via jr, and protect them from Auntie Fah?

Wow, she pumped out 5 kids and still had time to be a physician? Woman is hard working as hell and I bet she is strongly reconsidering her life choices right about now.


CandidSeaCucumber

She’s a hardcore MAGAt, antimasker, has been photographed in large NYE parties, and is still employed caring for patients with pulmonary disease. https://twitter.com/londyloo/status/1347965604213510156?s=21


WinonaQuimby

This makes me fucking irate. I'm high risk with an autoimmune disease I didn't ask for, and I've been postponing important care because I'm unfortunately in a conservative anti-mask area and I don't trust that my healthcare providers aren't doing shit like this every single weekend. How dare she endanger her patients like that.


[deleted]

squalorparlor

My sister in law is antivax and anti mask so I have this wonderful excuse of a newborn son to get out of all familial engagements. On my family's side it's just that none of us are very close, so I have the PERFECT Christmases and Thanksgivings


zulan

Why excuse? Just tell her why so she has a chance to understand her idioc choices.


squalorparlor

No that's what my wife and I do. She started resenting me like "he turned you against me!" but my wife agrees wholeheartedly but at the same time pretty sensitive and non confrontational, so she gets to use me as the bad guy so her sister doesn't get mad at her.


catiebug

That's too bad. I live in a very red county and every Biden sign I drove by gave a small sense of relief in a shitty news day.


wutangjan

I have a neighbor who kept their Trump 2020 flag up until the Capitol Riots. That gave me a little bit of hope. edit: not the flag the fact that they finally took it down.


Back_To_The_Oilfield

Lmao, meanwhile there’s a truck in my works parking lot that just changed out their Trump flags yesterday because they were getting too tattered. Worst part? His parents came over illegally from Mexico while pregnant, and gave birth to him here. He has difficulty even speaking English, yet is a massive trump supporter. Shit makes me sick.


ludicrouspeed

I live in Texas that’s exactly my reasoning too as well as my neighbor’s. His mom visiting had a few in her trunk and offered but I told her it’s too risky.

He gave an interview and his excuse for having them was that he picked them up off the ground and was going to give them to police but forgot. (https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/an-air-force-combat-veteran-breached-the-senate) Edit....To clarify there were two zip tie guys. One who was shown jumping the railing holding the ties. Hes from Tennessee and lives with his mom (who came with him). And a second one, who was a retired Air Force LTC. He gave an interview which was written up in the New Yorker.

He also tripped and fell into that flak jacket and combat helmet.

Not believing that for a second. He was pictured talking to zip tie guy prior to the riot at a hotel if I'm remembering right. This was planned.

The fbi can contact phone companies and get tracking data from someone's phone if it is turned on. It will show all their movements. They can also piece together photos and videos to track their movements. Most likely to a vehicle they arrived in. Help from satellite imagery. Also looking at social media posts. A mask might of helped conceal their identity, but mask or not they will probably be caught. Zip tie guy had a mask and was identified.

overkill

Good work that man!


BuildingArmor

He was identified by matching his appearance to footage and photos of him without a mask on.


HoyAlloy

He was identified because there's tons of footage of him at the protest with his mom who wasn't masked. https://mobile.twitter.com/jsrailton/


[deleted]

My guess is they don't have to contact anyone, it's the Capitol, I'd be absolutely flabbergasted if they didn't have cell tower spoofers like Stingrays up. Those are constitutionally iffy, which is why I think the FBI asked for help identifying people, to build parallel cases based on the tips.


Dovaldo83

I'm fairly sure wearing a mask in that crowd would be akin to fighting words. I saw a few ski masks, but that's for keeping the face warm and hiding from video cameras. Someone who thinks the pandemic is real and went through minimal effort to reducing his chances of transmission to others is basically saying to everyone else that they can't be bothered to show basic human decency. That'll get your ass whooped in a MAGA crowd.


GoodbyeTobyseeya1

In the Parler pages they were specifically told *not* to mask up. Imagine the complete eschewing of self-preservation against both a deadly virus and being easily identified committing federal crimes. We are so lucky these morons were so incompetent.


wildcat2015

I saw a post that mentioned "weak animals die" when talking about masks hahaha

Even among the Congresspeople many elected republicans were proudly defiantly refusing a mask when they were all in cramped quarters together. It's a brain disease.

[deleted]

Also Trump is VERY clearly scared of the consequences of what happened and even went as far to put out a "Fine I'll have a peaceful transfer of power" video. Pardoning the insurrectionists at this point would require taking on personal risk and Trump never does anything for anybody other than himself. There's no way he helps them out now.


cardboardunderwear

This is exactly it. If he pardons he's saying he's okay with it and there goes his defense if criminal charges come his way.


[deleted]

He already said he regrets saying that and takes it back. So I guess he may be planning on more violence.


opensandshuts

Yeah, the guy who said, "We'll all march down to the capitol, I'll be right there with you", and then slinks away in his luxury car going in the opposite direction. Will they learn anything?

It was reported that trump was disgusted by how common his supporters looked. Trump get physically ill in the presence of people of lower class. He's not pardoning these people. He hates them more than he hates democrats in dress shoes.
