2017 booking photo of Brent Holdridge [Photo from the Humboldt County Jail]
According to the geolocation data/map, it appeared the cellular device assigned number was detected in multiple areas of the U.S. Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021,
including a location commonly known as the Lower West Terrace. The device also was detected in an area consistent with the north staircase on the west side of the building, as well as the area known as the Upper West Terrace. From there, the timed geolocation data was consistent with the device moving inside the U.S. Capitol through the Upper West Terrace area into the northwest portion of the Capitol building.
Brent Holdridge, February 2021 booking photo by the Humboldt County Jail.
Using a Humboldt County Jail booking photograph of HOLDRIDGE, FBI investigators searched for images of him in video footage collected as part of the January 6, 2021 investigation. Results from that search included an image of a person, inside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, with a physical appearance consistent with that of HOLDRIDGE. The search results included the corresponding U.S. Capitol surveillance video location where this person was recorded. I was then able to access the database where these videos could be viewed, and located the specific video file where the potential match was found. The video was collected from the
U.S. Capitol surveillance system location “West Stairs,” from camera #0122 USCS. Using additional reference maps of the Capitol, I identified this location as the first floor of the U.S. Capitol, in the northwest area of the building.
In viewing this video file, I observed the person whose appearance was consistent with that of HOLDRIDGE walking inside the Capitol among numerous other people.
The FBI identified this man holding a cell phone and a rolled up flag as Brent Holdridge. [Photo from the Case Summary against Holdridge]
The person had what appeared to be a rolled-up flag in one hand and in the other hand a cellular device, which appeared to be activated based on its illuminated viewing screen. This specific first-floor area in the northwest portion of the U.S. Capitol was consistent with previously obtained geolocation data obtained for the cell phone number that was subscribed to HOLDRIDGE. Below are two still photographs of the person taken from the “West Stairs” area surveillance camera (#0122 USCS). This area of the U.S. Capitol was restricted and was closed to the public on January 6, 2021.

Red ovals encircle the person the FBI identified as Brent Holdridge at the Capitol riot. [Photo part of the case summary]
Person identified by the FBI as Brent Holdridge shown carrying a flag at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
According to Watts, “I showed him an image, taken from U.S. Capitol surveillance video on January 6, 2021, of a man standing on the railing of the staircase to the Upper West Terrace of the Capitol with a flag in his hand. HOLDRIDGE refused to identify anyone in the photo, but stated that he purchased the flag shown in the photo from a vender who was at the “Stop the Steal” rally.”
Holdridge joins over 700 people arrested so far for their role in the Capitol Riot on January 6. As of November 23, a little over 120 people have been convicted.

Congress apparently finds that parading around a building that Congress uses is more of a grave offense than burning down a building that Congress doesn’t particularly care about. Yup, it’s a slippery slope, all that misplaced parading.
“Trump 2020” my a–. Only a [edit] would make such a statement, downplaying the pro-gun, anti-abortion (unless you’re wealthy) populist’s “It’s going to be wild” January 6th purposeful incitement. As bad and downright stupid as the various city center uprisings were, their intent was not insurrection, as in “Kill Mike Pence” and “Hang Nancy Pelosi.” All these coup-de-Trump fascists should do hard time. The nation’s capitol building is not downtown Portland, not even in “God’s Country” Humboldt.
Wow. 283 passionate comments and going strong.
MEANWHILE
while all of you are arguing about your pet puppets’ fine qualities, both parties of the government and the Federal Reserve that serves TPTB are sucking up and spitting out the values of your wages and life’s savings.
It’s like a bloody distracted soap opera in here.
Thanks for the reminder.
But, it was doing laundry and dishes for an hour that took my mind off the live BTC price.
I came back here to see if I needed to talk any more shit an hour later, and suddenly we’re up 4%.
Yep, burn loot murder can get away with riots, vandalism, looting, burning diwn federal buildings and not be considered a threat but people breaking into the capital building is apparently an insurrection. These people were stupid for illegally entering the capital building but by no means was this an insurrection and so many of these people are basically being held as political prisoners. Search up how many are being held without bond, being held in places like Rikers Island, haven’t had a court hearing yet, etc. but are considered more of a threat than the guy who rated 6/6 for risk and was released and ran over people at a parade. Political witch-hunt is all this is.
Property damage means more to you than potential loss of democracy at the hands of an angry mob led by loser of election.
That wasnt going to happen via that small group. And their actions were a protest about a loss of democracy.
Sack of traitors.
The Man Without a Country is the story of American Army lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a trial for treason and is consequently sentenced to spend the rest of his days at sea without so much as a word of news about the United States
Ever had people with guns running towards you? Their protests were because they are too stupid to think and were being jerked around by a criminal.
Are you talking about the white 11-count child sex offender who just got out of a suicidal psych lockdown that day, rushing a minor in Kenosha while repeatedly yelling, “shoot me, nigga! Shoot me!”
?
Hey, man, was just a small group of peaceful protesters. ?
Can only imagine what a phantom split finger fastball would do to a helmet from inches away.
But, you got mad forensics.
You fail to realize that this man was peacefully protesting FOR DEMOCRACY, for you, and for me. He was carrying a FLAG and a CELLPHONE! Not a gun or a weapon!! For gods sake, woke up and smell the coffee!!
This guy was a criminal before Jan 6, and during Jan 6.
Only a MAQA criminal would think interrupting the transition of power at the Capitol of the US is “protesting for democracy”.
She is defending a meth dealer. That’s sad
Meth and opiates were popular among the Nazis too.
??Ask the people that died how peaceful it was. ?♂️?♂️
Travis Scott did much worse, he actually did what they are pretending trump did.
Travis Scott performed at a concert, at a venue used for concerts. Are you saying he designed, and micro managed the set up at the venue to get his fans injured, and thus justify refunding everyone’s money? Are “they” pretending DJ had a hit,band could sell out a stadium?
Dead men tell no tales ?
Only one died from other than natural causes was Ashli. Heart attacks usually a matter of long term lifestyle
I spent four years as United States Army paratrooper Served honorably in the 82nd Airborne Division. I really resent the implication that this punk-assed loser miscreant is some kind of Freedom Fighter who is really standing up for America
Strac Trooper
When you figure out what cannon fodder really means, you’ll know what Henry Kissinger and all the other elite think of “grunts who serve”.
Yeah I already know too much about these fuckers who make a big show about ” SUPPORT THE TROOPS!” Only when it’s convenient for them.
Henry Kissinger? You mean the guy who Christmas Day bombing of Cambodia? Who`da thought that guy would make utterly callous statements.?
War is murder. Elections are rigged. Laws we have no say in making are killing us. Predators run the country. What’s your solution?
Elections are rigged. Too funny. All you reTrumplicans just can’t come to grips that he LOST. What a bunch of whining babies.
Left leaning press and tech put a heavy hand on the election scale
I agree with Trump…
” Anybody that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive election fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election is either very stupid or very corrupt.”
Maybe Trump lost because he was completely inept at running the country, his ideas sucked plus was wildly corrupt and unpopular . Did you ever consider that instead of some wild assed conspiracy theory ???
Seems the Liberals do not want the public to hear the case, trying to stop the defense from Discovery. Why would that be?

DEFENDANT’S SUR-REPLY TO GOVERNMENT’S REPLY TO
THE DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNMENT MOTION FOR

Defendant Stephen K. Bannon, by and through his undersigned counsel, respectfully
submits this sur-reply to the Government’s Reply to the Defendant’s Opposition to the
Government Motion For Protective Order And To Disclose Grand Jury Testimony (Doc. 12). In
support of this sur-reply, we state as follows:
Bannon’s lawyers said the government’s argument was “festooned with hyperbole… perhaps designed to score points with the media.” That same day, a “press coalition” of 15 news organizations—including Buzzfeed, CNN, and The Washington Post—sided with Bannon and asked the judge overseeing the case to make documents available and reject what it called “this broad gag order.”

Well, at least I did something besides dithering…
Right on. These fucking idiots are just bored losers with too much time and money on their hands and too little brain power to understand life and politics. If you can be jerked around by a psychotic grifter with the IQ of an idiot, you are in trouble. What are you poor fucks going to do when gas is $10 or $15 a gallon and you can’t afford to drive your truck, or ride your bike to South Dakota or run your boat at the lake or drive your 4 wheelers. I see a lot of fat, dumb and angry white guys dying pretty soon.
Hey man, thanks for your service then, and thanks for your comments now.
??
Here here!!
How was he protesting FOR DEMOCRACY when they were literally trying to overthrow a valid election just because they didn’t like the outcome? The cognitive dissonance required to even make that statement is breathtaking.
Ask the FBI handlers why they were kicking back watching and texting their informants as they “stormed.”?
Ask the Capitol Police if they thought maybe there shouldn’t have been a refusal of National Guard personnel, after all.
Ask why Officer Sicknick (who died of natural causes the next day), was displayed in the fucking lobby like a mascot, marinating in formaldehyde while Democrats pretended he was killed by a maga fire extinguisher.
Sick, nasty fucks.
If they didn’t steal an election, they sure did a shitty job of acting like they didn’t…
Brain dead and stupid.
No he wasn’t. They were all protesting against the results of democratic processes.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Funny how your not incensed by a summer of destruction by the Democrat Brownshirts in the Northwest.
What got destroyed by Democrats during the summer of destruction? Still think Antifa burnt Medford!? Space lazer much?
In the two hundred twenty three years of this Republic this was the first time there was not a peaceful transition of power.. The insurrectionist were bamboozled and led by Trump and his corrupt, traitorous minions. As there leaders claim executive privileged it’s a good reminder that guys like this are just pawns in their came to overthrow our democracy. The leaders violation of the oath they took the protect and defend the constitution of the United States is the vile stain that can never be removed.
It was actually pretty mellow, bro.
?
And the traitors that remain in Congress need to be arrested, convicted of treason and shot, Republicans one and all.
“As there leaders claim executive privileged”
Or… They want to be charged. Then they can force the Government to turn over the evidence to the defense, since the government won’t tell the truth otherwise.
Spot on. The looting, rioting, murders, rapes, $$$ Billions in property damage, destroyed businesses, loss of jobs across the nation caused during the insurrection of 2020 was ignored and or condoned by the left…The DC issue was obviously contrived by the democrats or else it was the worst possible attempt at an insurrection in history. Capitol Police removed barriers and actually directed people into the Capitol. An unarmed woman was murdered and mostly ignored by the media. The historic St. John’s Church in DC was burned by rioters a few months earlier but that was considered to be an acceptable protest.
Conducting a demonstration in front of or in a federal building is a far cry from attempting to overthrow a valid national election, killing people and hurting them. What would an insurrection look like? Try January 6th. Also there were millions of dollars of damage to our government buildings. Anyone with eyes and ears could see what was going on. You haven’t seen the political witch hunt yet. Wait until the FBI begins monitoring the RedHeaded Blackbelt site for domestic terrorists. Were you around in the 70’s to see what they did to demonstrators then? Have you read history? [edit]
You haven’t already called the feds?
What if it was a lame ineffective insurection?
political witch hunt is right. get all the witches with over throw the govt” political aspirations and put them under watch/ no fly/ no gun rights watch. I for one feel like we need to begin preserving our rights and freedoms and our democracy. Trump didnt even show up to the capt. He went back and ordered lunch and watched on TV. Feerless.
Yep, stupid people everywhere. But don’t deflect, don’t lose perspective: some of these “stupid” people were game to assault the highest office holders in the nation.
Highest office holders= the biggest most currupt criminals in the nation
Buildings the Dem Congress leadership doesn’t care about, like police stations and court houses?
Buildings mean nothing compared to the ideas they represent. 1-6-21 was treason.
10% for the big guy is treason
Eric stallwell who’s on the intelligence committee sleeping with fang fang Chinese spy is treason real treason
Who was President when all this crap happened, Donald J. Trump. Why didn’t he do anything about it? The Republicans controlled the country, the Presidency and the Congress. They are the ones who let the riots continue for chrissakes because they were legal and 95% of the crap you are talking about did not happen.
There is a kind of mythmaking going on with the “BLM rioters”, that they haven’t been charged or convicted. This is not true.
This article is from August, but gives you an idea.
https://apnews.com/article/records-rebut-claims-jan-6-rioters-55adf4d46aff57b91af2fdd3345dace8
More than 70 defendants who’ve been sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more.
As for the police station in Minnesota. There were convictions and prison sentences. Funny thing, they wereone was a “Boogaloo Boi”, as was the guy that murdered the LEO down in the Bay Area.
https://www.police1.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/man-sentenced-to-4-years-for-minneapolis-police-station-fire-nKd5RboPPFKRy53f/
70 out of 40,000? Doesn’t sound like a comparable effort to identify and prosecute?
40,000? That’s a specific number. I’d love to see the citation. Also, get back to me when a Capitol rioter (who were trying to stop a legal electoral process because they didn’t like the outcome…the saddest pictures are those carrying Thin Blue Line flags (is that not desecration?) beating the crap out of…you know…the Thin Blue Line. Where was I? Oh yeah, get back to me when a Capitol rioter gets years in prison.
I see you are ignoring the Boogaloo Bois.
Of course, being in Oregon I get a kind of perverse kick out of people who think Portland is a smoking crater. “BURNED TO THE GROUND!!!!”
What’s a Boogaloo boy?
You obviously never went to downtown Portland in the last couple years.
PS: It’s still tore up.
Oh the horror!! What a joke
Yeah, sure
I’ve had to delete a number of recent comments. You’re skating on thin ice.
K
You are the slippery slope.
Calling an attempted coup a parade because 2/3 of participants were clowns is despicable.
Trump, Rudy, Stone, Jones, militias and clowns and more arrive to the Capital on the day the Electoral votes are to be certified against all wishes of BIG FUCKING LOSER TRUMP.
They stormed the Capital trying to stop the process.
Only because our Capital police do you have a functioning democracy today.
Only because of Capital police is Ashli dead, not Mike Pence or Pelosi.
[edit]
You’re right, the only one killed was Ashli shot by a leftist trigger happy Capitol policeman. What mortal threat did she present?
He was doing his job. As the pro gun lobby would say “standing his ground” Sorry she got killed but she made the choice to be there and climb in thru a rioter broken window. She was duped by Trump and Q lets put the blame where it really belongs
She was refusing lawful orders to stop threatening a transitional democratic process that for 230 years prior was quite smooth and operated without insurrectionists threatening violence.
Can you be so sure she didn’t want to “Hang Mike Pence”?
His life was in danger, in the least.
How was his life threatened by an unarmed woman? There’s plenty of video with Capitol police opening lines and waving protesters forward. Is that entrapment?
I call them oath breakers
She was shot due to the threat she represented and her part in an illegal insurrection against a duly elected government.
She was shot by the same consummate professional who left his loaded weapon in a men’s room. Someone else found it, or else we’d never had heard about it.
A 17yo civilian can manage to keep hold of a weapon, but not this guy.
She didn’t have a reservation.
The mob itself certainly posed a mortal threat, the officer acted heroically in fulfilling his duty.
Your citation for calling him a “leftist” ?
Sorry Kym. This gets my blood boiling.
Awww. Fever? Better test yourself for the ‘vid. One of Fauci’s Moronic variants might have infiltrated your altered gene therapy… err! Vaccine.
Don’t recall reading any comments by you when the Democrat Brownshirts we’re destroying government buildings and private businesses.
Besides, your plantation isn’t in Washington DC… is it?
When you say stupid things like that you make it clear that you don’t understand vaccinations or gene therapy.
He doesn’t
Here we go with the Brown Shirts bullshit again and the idiots who know nothing about genetics and science and like to bitch about vaccines. Show me the government building destroyed by these Brown Shirts. The only government building I have seen destroyed was in Oklahoma City and that was done by a redneck Right-winger and his buddies. I can show you that building.
I wouldn’t call what we have today as a “functioning democracy” lol it’s more like a “shitshow”. Plus I’m pretty sure that the capital police, most of them, were on the side of trump. After all the democrats were trying to defund them , it’s only logical, right ? There is video of the capital police opening barricades and helping the protesters
Those officers have been dealt with. Dereliction of duty and failure to abide by their sworn duty to uphold the law and our Constitution. In some countries they would be hung as traitors.
I was told this was a Republic not a Democracy. Guess it depends on the situation
“Those officers have been dealt with…”
And all we got was this bullshit “insurrection” fantasy.
You can always look and see how many more billions of dollars Democrats gave the Capitol Police after the great mope riot.
You’re really going to flip your lid when you hear of their secrecy protections (why you didn’t know who the [oppressed black] fuckup who left his duty gun on the toilet is the same dipshit who shot the [privileged] white lady, without repercussion) and the nation-wide expansion of the US Capitol Police…
Oh, this must be more of the right-wing horseshit distributed by Faux news and Internet idiots.
Yeah, sure
It’s actually well-known, officially published information.
[edit]
Here we go, making shit up again!
Ya he’s making shit up and everything you parrot from the MSM the undeniable truth because they have never been caught lying. Lol
Wow. It was a coup attempt on the federal government with the goal of overturning election results.
You forgot cuz Putin.
Yeah it wasn’t like he was accused of something serious like attempting to pass a fake $20 bill. He doesn’t deserve to get publicly throttled..
…and he was never heard from again
Well, we don’t go to rallies or protests, for the above consequences. We also don’t think he looks like the guys in those pictures. If you do something like this, use a throw away phone, and keep your mask on.
We have found though, that teaching children in our freedom schools, is far more productive than going to a rally and accomplishing nothing but trouble for yourself. We have been teaching the students how treacherous the govt. is, how dishonest, how evil they are. They have learned, by watching the coverage of the Jan. 6th gathering, that the media is complicit with the fed govt. in treason filled lies. The gatherers are heroes, and have wrongfully been arrested, much like in communist countries. The students have noted with glee how the polliticos, repubs and demos both, cowered from the actions of the gatherers, a good thing indeed. We teach them it is our responsibility to keep those who think they are in charge of us, to be afraid of us, the people, who are the govt. To be honest, we really don’t need politicos anyway, do we?
Astounding amount of evidence compiled from electronic devices!
The long arm of the law has a keyboard and a data base and knows how to use it.
Over 700 people, mostly men, arrested so far!
Sadly, the orange sh*t gibbon who instigated the attempted coup will likely be dead before he wears an orange jumpsuit. Then he’ll be a martyr to morons like Brent.
Prediction: Brent will get a year, suspended sentence, and be picked up in Eureka again in 6 months on meth possession charges if his past behavior continues…
They held a “coup” but brought no guns? Seems a stretch of imagination and credibility
??Not really a man named Charlie did something similar in the 60s with murder. Didn’t lift a finger in the crime itself but was accused of orchestrating it.☃️☃️
I supervised old Charlie for several years…
They did have guns.
In the form of the outgoing President of the United States, elected Representatives, a former General, far-right media personalities and more.
If you don’t think that having those is heavy artillery then…..
(And your ideas of how coups can happen in functional democracies is also very limited.)
Yes, evidence Hillary’s Russian Collusion coup attempt. Will she and her conspirators ever face justice?
Oh boy, looks like you have a case of HCDS.
You’re one that bought the whole Russian Collusion gambit for years so aren’t you upset Hillary sold you a pack of lies? Did you believe the golden showers too?
The golden showers were a coverup.
P comes before Q.
He tried to steal an election.
Here comes another problem for the criminals…..
Blagojevich
“….Why did he do it? ” he continued, before foreshadowing his willingness to expose the underbelly of his former party:
I truly believe its because J.B. Pritzker, Governor Pritzker and some of the Democratic political establishment is very fearful. They’re very fearful of what I know, and what I can say, and what I’m likely to say, and what I will say soon. That’s why I think that he did that.
Blagojevich likely knows where the corruption rests in the Democrat Party.
Hopefully he waits til after Ghislaine gets suicided, because he’s been touting his case for like 20 years.
Failing to see what the problem is with anyone having a gun.
That 2nd Amendment, dontchaknow?
…the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.
Congress can’t keep people from carrying arms into their own House, no matter how scared they are.
The Capitol (with an ‘o,’ bro) Police had the guns, chum.
They could’ve accepted previously requested National Guard personnel.
But, would’ve been “bad optics.”
That’s to say, not the look they wanted.
So they had metaphorical guns?
He means, there were some guns somewhere else—someplace—in the United States of America, where gun ownership is very much legal.
And, that’s why all those bumblers should be tortured in solitary confinement for at least a year for the serious crime of trespassing on public property.
You know, I could give you 19 names who didn’t have a gun on 9/11.
Nixon did not use guns for Watergate.
Guns are not used in a number of events that change the world for the worse.
I’m sure you also could come up with some events also.
Why is it, guns are only good in a 2ndA discussion, but here, people would only be considered bad if they did have guns?
Are guns suddenly a sign of extremists?
Or can you have extremists without guns?
Do you guys ever think about juxtaposing your own positions before typing?
Dick Cheney
George W. Bush
Ok, we give up. Were you just going to list all the PNAC wraiths?
An attempted coup with no weapons is the stupidest thing that’s being said about Jan 6. Ever see the videos of people being let in to the capital building? Probably not.
The Justice Department has released videos showing the Jan. 6 assault on Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and others.
Link?
Please….You have not seen the videos? Then you are the only person in the world that hasn’t…There was a lot of violence against the police on that day.
A DC Metropolitan Police officer dragged into the crowd by the pro-Trump mob during the insurrection on the US Capitol was beaten by rioters who threatened to shoot him with his own weapon.
The mob wasnt all pro trump. Most of them were just big government haters.The person in this article has probably never voted. He just sucks off the leftwing system that he manipulates by lying. Hes a sociopath druggie.
I hope you don’t really believe that. Of course they were trump supporters.
Throw him in the Prison System then.
The whole three hour riot was milder than a summer night in Portland.
You’re out of the loop.
So mild. What a joke the “law and order “ party supports.
C’mon, man! This treasonous insurrectionist is clearly outside the velvet ropes.
Look how mindless they are.
No wonder they were duped by such a charlatan.
They’re trespassing and breaking into the Capitol, and so clueless about it they’re staying in those ropes.
(And livestreaming)
Of course, there was the militia crazies with zip ties and other loonies doing whatever they wanted.
But man, thanks for the trumpzombies pic.
”Ziptie guy” found the zip ties there, if that’s what you’re thinking of.
That false claim about him bringing them in was debunked a long time ago.
Like the pee tape hoax.
Oh really, were you there??? Did you see that trump loving woman shot and killed breaking into our Capitol, did you see all that happened? or do you think that was a celebration for ???WTF? All those POS, shiting and pisses,
stealing, taking whatever they wanted. Yet we are still waiting to find the GUILTIEST POS that refused to call that RIOT OFF, NOPE!! Now we are still divided, and NOW it is PERSONAL. VOTE, VOTE THEM ALL OUT, and let us put BETTER PEOPLE IN THEIR SEATS!!! Lots of wasted money being spent on back and forth B.S. going on in our congress, it is DOG EAT DOG…..NOW. It is time to put TERM LIMITS, on those OLD, OVERPAID REPUBLICIANS< and Senators, AS SOON AS WE CAN. SMH LIES!!!
I’d tell you why it’s so difficult to debate your position, but then it would probably result in my comment not being published.
They’ve said Sicknik died of natural causes, keep up
Well getting beaten and threatened to be shot sure didn’t help did it? Or did you skip over that part? Are you excusing the people that did that? Tell me that there wasn’t violence against capital police officers,
At least 56 D.C. police officers were injured in the chaos on Jan. 6, D.C.’s acting police chief said. One officer had a Taser used on him.
Gray Fox , you can not talk sense to these people about trump They are no longer Americans.
Your right, like swatting flies, swat one 2 more land
Remember the leftist say you don’t have a right to self defense, curl up in a fetal position and get ABORTED
That’s is not in any way a position of the left.
Not following the courtroom dramas very closely, eh?
Sicknick was alive later that night. Texted his family.
You’re tripping.
That’s the type of stupid shit libs say after watching Rachael Maddow.
Bye bye Cuomo; at least there’s one less liberal idiot spreading propaganda.
Bye bye to both Cuomo’s, and when are Seltzer, Lemon, and Tobin perverts leaving?
Avannatti’s gone…
Kathy Griffith
They sure love their lying, perverts.
And then there’s the list of racists.
I’m just gonna leave this here: https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/capitol-protesters-were-armed-with-variety-of-weapons/
Wait.
You seem to be indicating that there was a very real possibility that maybe there was either zero guns—or, only one (1) pistol brought there by Americans who are not law enforcement.
That’s a TRB-level bombshell revelation.
The entire event was a giant Honey Pot and any of you who participated are stupid.
Why not release all the video so activities of undercover officers in the Capitol can be reviewed? Why was the extremely vocal agitator from New Mexico never charged?
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ?
Yep ,I can’t even imagine how many militia type organizations the feds were able to compromise when their members walked right into the fucking capitol building with their personal phones.
Just Trump doing his job, compromising the naively hopeful antigovernment types and successfully demonizing populist and nationalist positions that actually would benefit the majority of americans
yep,as much a honeypot as the guest bedrooms on Brian Epstein’s Lolita Island
Poor Hillary…she thought she could just wait it out…
Gives new meaning to the label, Bag Lady!
Following a guy who lied over 20,000 times and then says all politicians lie. Well, so do you!!
I’m waiting for Biden to tell the truth about anything, just once would be an accomplishment!
Parading, trespassing, and disorderly? Give him the same sentence BLM rioters received.
No, BurnLootMurder are completely peaceful protestors whose outbursts are only reconciliation for past grievances against people they don’t know or because a statue looked at them menacingly.
Just for the Portland protests or riots: https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/74-people-facing-federal-charges-crimes-committed-during-portland-demonstrations
That’s a good pull, but also problematic in that the residency of those charged is inconsistently disclosed, and there is no sort feature for allegations pertaining to Federal buildings (the Courthouse, ICE building), Federal officers and just general federal offenses.
I despise BLM and I would like to see all of the rioters charged. That being said it is entirely different than a group with states goals of violence, storming the US Capitol building an attempt to undermine democracy.
Another one of Donald Trump’s puppets..
Says he surrendered in Dublin, I assume that means CA not Ireland? He is to appear in DC, the capital city of the USA, 1/9 by Zoom, wow! Who/what supports his living expenses?
Maybe he can zoom to DC court from home
Sad that this individual disrespects the Country to the level of trying to destroy the institution’s house of jurisdiction. The Constitution says Gov’t BY the People. Not destroyed BY the people. He took part in an insurrection which borders on treason. He will most likely get a slap on the wrist when he should be sentenced to a 24 week class on Democracy where all people are equal under the law regardless of race. Hopefully, he will move to a country in Africa where violence is the rule of law.
Nothing destroyed the capitol more than seeing Nancy’s stupid fence around it.
I understand it though, guilt will haunt a person and make them fearful.
Biden and Jill leaving the cops and NG to sleep on the cold, concrete, basement floor and fed foul food, while Jill photo ops a few cookies…jeez.
There were also some complimentary pizzas passed around in the garage, while the cameras were on.
Actually, I’m not sure if the f-150 load of pizzas got docked from Guardsmen pay, or if they were just donated. Maybe a tax deduction for Nancy, in any event.
The three planks of the Republican party; lies, hypocrisy and ignorance. What a cavalcade of stupidity on display here! Qanon quacks & MAGA morons on parade…
You still strong supporter of Brandon? Polls say you have little company
You are conflating 1 thing with another as a diversion from the real documented events that you can’t argue away because your stance and argument is as filled with holes as is swiss cheese.
Distract, distract. The QOP playbook.
Seems the January 6th committee is the one trying to distract – from Brandon’s utter failure in just about everyone he’s touched
The three planks of the Democratic Party;
Soros, Coup Plotters and The Bag Lady.
Flat earth q bullshit
Someone stole his cell phone and framed this patriot. Video footage is too blurry, innocent until proven guilty. The leader of antifa and blm were also caught on video at the Capitol that day. Where’s the equity?
John Earle Sullivan
Sullivan isn’t Antifa or BLM. You’ve been brainwashed by right-wing bs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/16/sullivan-video-arrested/
What, according to your scholarship, is he?
Any comment on how he keeps showing up in the darnedest places?
Look, he’s outside!
Funny that you say that.. apparently he has the best video footage of the Ashli Babbitt murder, he even sold it for 90k to news medias.
So if he was outside, then that means that Babbitt was outside as well. Also, note that Sullivan yelled “I have a knife” in the video just before the officer fired his bullet. Perhaps it was his threat that made the cop fire… ?
Being outside is different than being outside while trying to get inside.
But why is someone breaking in your home, a misdemeanor, and their home , a felony?
Wow.
You must be very familiar with his videos.
Are you ab FBI instigator too? ?
Kidding.
But really, provide a text of his words throughout his video for context to objective readers.
Lol it’s looking like the fbi and many of the left leaders have been pedophiles all along. I wonder if ghisline maxwell will “commit suicide” like Epstein did ?. She knows a lot of dirt do you think they will off her??
Here is text of his words that you requested: ?
“ At one point in the video, Sullivan — donning a ballistic vest, with a gas mask in hand — stands atop the Capitol balcony with thousands of demonstrators below. His cellphone, mounted on a gimbal, records him yelling, “Let’s go! Get up here!” as rioters begin to scale the walls. After entering the building, when police move to escort Sullivan and others toward the exterior doors, he refuses to leave. “You’re not stopping anything from happening,” he says to an officer in the recording.
As he walks through Statuary Hall, someone yells, “Please do not deface the statues.” Sullivan is heard responding, “Well, people might burn this down, I’m not gonna lie. So it might be too late for that.”
Minutes prior to Ashli Babbitt’s death, rioters crowded the hallway outside the Speaker’s Lobby, where they were met by locked doors and three officers. “Let me through, I got a knife,” Sullivan says, and makes his way to the front. Sullivan told an FBI investigator that he didn’t actually have a knife; when I pressed for clarification as to whether or not he actually had one, he wouldn’t answer.
In Sullivan’s video, protesters — including Babbitt — rush to the door to the Speaker’s Lobby, and some start smashing windows. What happens next was viewed by millions of Americans. Just feet away from Sullivan, a hand with a gun appears on the other side of the door. Babbitt, with a Trump flag draped around her back like a cape, begins to climb through a shattered window. The gun is fired once, and a bullet strikes Babbitt’s upper chest. She collapses backward.
““Shots fired!” Sullivan says.
People crowd Babbitt’s body and call for help. “She’s dead,” Sullivan, in shock, mutters to himself. “Dude, this (expletive) is gonna go viral.”

If you would link me the video I would watch it and review.
.. Holdridge was previously arrested on several drug-related crimes here in Humboldt County, and had been scheduled to be in jail at the time of the Capitol insurrection. Hope he does better in court than Jan 6 rioter Brandon Fellows who defended himself in court then preceded to admit to 2 more felonies.. Lets Go Brandon..
He’s lucky to be alive.
Ashli Babbitt should have been one of many that day.
They wanted a war, they got a jail sentence.
Jesus, Brian. We want law enforcement to exercise restraint not dole out the death penalty to people trespassing and even vandalizing things.
And of the threats to Pence?
And of the threats to the Electoral votes?
And of the threat to the transition of power?
And you remember, Trump wanted to use the Military on BLM.
This was that, plus the above.
The amount of time the process and Capitol were under threat I think shows an almost undue amount of LE restraint.
Let alone the fact some LE were sympathetic to the insurrectionists and assisted if not enjoyed it.
The threat of white supremacy and nationalism is on the rise for years, a bigger threat than ISIS.
Please, it was more than a trespass .
It’s indicative to our backsliding.
LE restraint is important, but please, more than enough was shown.
Law enforcement showed restraint. You, however, said, “Ashli Babbitt should have been one of many that day.”
You know that I agree that the mob was out of control BUT I am also glad that there wasn’t a blood bath.
Unless Trump wanted to take a photo op they show restraint. The plaza between St. John’s Church and Lafayette Park was full of people nonviolently protesting police brutality late Monday afternoon when U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops, with the use of tear gas, suddenly started pushing them away for no apparent reason
How bout we talk about the elephant in the room.
As images from Wednesday’s riot by pro-Trump extremists at the U.S. Capitol filled our TV screens and social media feeds, one thing was notably absent: the kind of confrontation between police and protesters that we saw during the Black Lives Matter protests last summer. Even though the Capitol mob was far more violent — and seditious — than the largely peaceful BLM demonstrators, police responded far less aggressively toward them than toward BLM protesters across the country. Researchers who track this sort of thing for a living say that fits a pattern
That perspective only works if you have no idea what you’re talking about.
There was no enforcement of shit during what you call “Black Lives Matter protests,” and barely ANY prosecutions.
It’s very much worth noting that most of the so-called BLM protests were mostly a combo of commuting suburban white vandal kids, alongside strung-out street kids.
Black civic leaders and random black community members called bullshit. Maybe our friend Angela can tell you about how in Portland, white kids breaking windows got old pretty quick. Just kidding. She won’t tell you. She only acts like she knows.
Oops, I almost forgot the “professional activists,” who carpooled primarily upon Interstate Highways (didn’t technically ride in ANTIFA BUSSES…but, rather vans and, undoubtedly, fucking subarus) who…wait for it…
“CROSSED STATE LINES” to commit various Federal Felonies, not least of which included laying in wait to commit murder.
“CROSSED STATE LINES” to commit various Federal Felonies. Sounds exactly like the Jan 6 rioters. Setting a pipe bomb, threatening to kill a capital police officer, hang Pence, threatening to stop the election process of the United States of America. Oath Keepers,and numerous other right-wing militant groups, traitors all. I didn’t see the use of tear gas, pepper balls, or getting beaten used against them.
Aug 27, 2020 — 74 People Facing Federal Charges for Crimes Committed During Portland Demonstrations · Charges include assaulting federal officers.
And Angela already posted here about BLM people being sentenced if you would scroll up.
You seem to approve of solitary confinement for nearly a year for the serious crime of parading and trespassing.
None of the 1/6 detainees have been charged with insurrection or any other hyperbolic overthrow fantasy you’ve worked yourself into believing, without benefit of discovery of evidence in trial.
Are you afraid to consider to what extent known informants and possibly active federal agents played in provocation at the Capitol?
White AnarchoCommies posing as Black Lives Matter protesters nightly initiated open guerrilla street combat with police in Portland at Union headquarters, precincts and various government buildings using lasers, pyrotechnics, frozen water bottles and other projectiles, and the ever-present dumpster fires. That eventually may draw a police response—including the crowd control methods you describe—if you refuse lawful orders to stop rioting and disperse.
You’d really benefit from a discussion about tactics, even though you might not be amenable to it.
I doubt deploying teargas (or even pepper balls) indoors would be very clever, unless all the cops already happened to have gas masks.
Anyway, looks like accepting the advance offer of National Guard troops would’ve been a good move—if there really had been any political will to actually prevent the 1/6 mope fest.
Jesus the violence mostly happened outdoors, are u another of those that refuse to acknowledge what happened outdoors? Tear gas, pepper balls, nonlethal shotgun rounds, a few batons over their heads would have sent these so called patriots running. And members of Congress had access to gas masks or did u miss that video also? So I am sure capital police had access
I’m not saying don’t ask those questions.
I’m saying, don’t prematurely claim to know the answers to those, and any other, questions.
There will be more footage available from the entirety of the Capitol than you and I are aware of.
Discovery (of evidence) in a court trial will add much to our discussion.
My claim is that there are known Federal informants involved in this event, who were in direct contemporaneous digital contact with their Federal handlers, which took place after National Guard security reinforcements were refused.
And, I’m saying that most of what people are screeching about is shoveled from the DNC into their neck.
Meanwhile, a bunch of sad sacks are rotting in solitary confinement for almost an entire year, pending charges of parading and/or trespassing. This is torture, even if you hate them. NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION.
This is inhumane, even if it’s open season on gullible rednecks. It’s also fucking weird—especially since no one in this entire country ever goes to jail for shit all, anymore.
You’re familiar with the term, “Political Prisoner,” yes?
Insurrection is a rare charge.
But people are being charged with conspiracy.
It’s a huge caseload and every conviction counts.

Black civic leaders and random black community members called bullshit. Maybe our friend Angela can tell you about how in Portland, white kids breaking windows got old pretty quick. Just kidding. She won’t tell you. She only acts like she knows.
LOL. What are you even talking about? That a bunch of white suburban kids were looting the first couple of nights in Portland? And continued the protests/riots? It’s a pretty white city. DUH. I’m not sure what you thought you “proved” here.
And that their own agenda/self indulgence took over from the BLM protests? Again Duh.
Portland is the go to spot for right wing groups who want a dust up with the “dreaded” Antifa. It’s kind of famous for that.
As for the buses, vans, and Subarus (dude, if your going to sloppily stereotype, it ain’t Antifa that drives Subarus). Again LOL. Did some come from outside Portland or the PNW? Sure. But most are local(ish). Hard to tell, so many people have moved there, the “new Oregon trail”.
On the other hand, the DC riot…how many came from the DC metro area?
Look up the “invasion” of Forks, WA or Coquille, OR. The Forks one was traumatic for the family, the Coquille one is just a hoot. Or even in Humboldt County, the Sheriff making noises about Antifa buses.
edited: I am not even that fond of Portland, I don’t live there, though family does so I have to go often. I just got tired of people who do not live anywhere near it screaming about it being burned to the ground.
Remarkably, it’s still there, annoying me with it’s traffic and artisanal unicycles.
“LOL…DUH…Duh…it ain’t antifa that drives Subarus…LOL…most are local(ish)…Hard to tell..”
Well, I should say that you are improving in your role as our absentee Portland correspondent, and not merely by additional word count.
But, checking my notes, I’m still left with the impression that you’re really not as in touch with your subject matter as you’d have us believe.
Sorry my suggestion that some “professional activists…probably” pile into Subarus (along with “vans”while long-distance carpooling upset you and contravened your data.
Please consider that there are a great many Subaru of various vintage putting around the leftie USA, and they may be generally more agreeable and commodious to affinity groups of white people with dreadlocks and/or died hair, with their bags of black clothing than, say, a Buick Le Sabre or Pontiac Grand Am.
It’s not like I said Soros, or the FBI, flew John Sullivan from SLC to PDX on a Gulfstream to fake being antifa/BLM and piss off the Local(ish) White Vegan Rebel Front for Unpretentiousness (LWVRFU) by luring them into PPB riot squad kettle traps because Activist John didn’t know the neighborhood he tried leading his protests in.
But, of course he (yes, THAT John Sullivan) got there somehow. I guess because Sullivan’s not white and maybe solicitous to the lurking dingus squads he was able to very briefly attract a little following in Portland…until everyone was like, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUY!
My brief description of Portland riot seasons and roster composition was meant to illustrate to our friend grey fox that a prolonged targeting of police and their headquarters with unprovoked, deliberately injurious attacks on a nightly basis (while, incidentally, being provided immediate and long-term cover by the DNC/Biden, local and national Lib Media, Federal law enforcement, and local prosecutors) is different (in Portland, anyway) from how gf described it—and unflattering to gf’s Capitol riot comparison. [*I acknowledge that you have linked to a list of prosecutions that may further inform the discussion. I am unprepared to be impressed, but will check it out. I doubt any of them have been tortured via solitary confinement for a year.]
Part of what makes gf’s comparison poor is that armed phalanx antifa attacks in Portland—after they are officially declared to the participants to be riots/unlawful assembly—are reasonably expected to be broken up without reservation by police, who tell attendees that they will soon commence dispersing those same recalcitrant street teams. No unarmed white ladies (or anyone else) were shot with live rounds during Portland Police riot control the last couple years or so.
In Portland, anyway, the police have become quite overly polite about clearing the poseur battlefield. But, it’s a predictable way for the student loans marxists to know when to tighten their respirator and shield straps for the championship rounds.
You have been intentionally disinformed leading you to become a tool for the predators
?
I’m likely the only commentor here who was born under a fascist dictatorship; Pinochet.
I grew up with certain biases, and those biases have matured.

I’m not sure a bloodbath will ever be good, but delaying them may make them worse.
Ok,
Part of me agrees with you Kym……
Sometimes I just play hardball as a front here, because there is so much the regular person is up against.
What we are discussing is incredibly complex.
I have many friends and or family who have supported Trump.
Do I want them persecuted for that?
No.
But what happened on 1/6 brings a level of discomforting discussion to reality.
Extreme comments may occur.
Jesus, Kym. Perspective, please. This was a concerted effort inspired by a President and his political sycophants (gathered at and conducting at the Willard Hotel). Lesson learned that day is We The People don’t benefit from Capitol Building law-enforcement exercising restraint; we don’t benefit when a whack-job mob violently rushes the doors with clear intent to physically confront members of the United States Congress. The mob of people, should have been met with overwhelming force, to both protect the Congress-men and -women of the country and send a very clear message to the country and the White House Mob (Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Meadows, etc, etc). Trump and sycophants orchestrated the Stop The Steal campaign which directly inspired mob mentality at the Capitol Building. In other words, they built the bomb, they lit the fuse, and they’re duped little pawns are lucky a lot more of them didn’t get hurt or die.
You think that the country would be better off if there was a bloodbath of rioters and dozens of “martyrs” instead of just Babbit? I don’t.
Speaking to your first sentence. Perspective is nuanced—not black and white.
I watched the riot in horror. I felt for the officers. And when Babbit was killed, I felt grief for her and her family and for the officer that shot her.
Many of the rioters deserve to face sentences. Others probation and fines. I believe that if some of the rioters had reached the targets of their wrath Pelosi, Pence, and others, there would have been a bloodbath with different victims. But, I never want to live in a country where officers kill people too easily or quickly.
I don’t feel sympathy for Ashli.
Exactly the lack of sympathy I feel for Nawaf al Hazmi, and 18 other hijackers.
Shit. Maybe I’m a patriot.
But really, how much crime and or violence will be attributed to 1/6ers over the next decade may be……lots.
We can decide the moral philosophy later.
Though about it more.
Examples should have been set.
Don’t fuck with American elections.
Trump should have a ticket to Guantanamo.
So why weren’t they beaten, tear gassed, hit with pepper balls, or pepper sprayed as a lot of peaceful protesters have had done to them?
“But, I never want to live in a country where officers kill people too easily or quickly.” You already do.
Right.
“You think that the country would be better off if there was a bloodbath of rioters and dozens of “martyrs” instead of just Babbit?”
Tricky wording and presentation there, ha. Context please. If violent rioters rush the Nations lawmakers, and the 2nd (and 3rd, etc!) in line to the President, shoot them. Period. Why do you think so many of them have Secret Service protection when out and about? If a violent person rushed Trump, take them down. If a violent person rushed Biden, take them down. Same with a violent person rushing lawmakers. Yeah, Jan 6 could quickly and easily been really (really) bad for the country. It’s pretty clear enough of the rioters wanted such, and quickly and easily as they could get it. If a next time, take them down. The country is too important not to.
You’d think they’d have brought guns if they intended all you say
?
Nah. All that’s required is enough folk, to overwhelm at the doors and windows. If any rioter had pulled a gun the majority witnessing nearby would have begun to scatter in fear, including when cops pull own guns in return. Also, brandishing a gun on Fed property like the Capitol can mean instant serious jail time.
Folks at the top and mid levels, they thought this scheme through. But once in play the riot-psychology of a mob can take on a life all its own. The videos, they don’t lie.
The violent that day are very lucky they didn’t fuck up worse than they did. You know, assault a member of Congress. And/or the Vice President.
So far, five have been given firearm charges. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases?combine=Firearm
Just think of how you would talk to your 14 week fetus, in your liberal belly. “Another one bites the dust”
You, my friend, believe in post birth abortions.
It’s pretty indicative that the feds were operating a Stingray device at the time and were more interested in data collection than security.
If you don’t know what Stingray is, look it up. There’s a pretty interesting history between law enforcement and the use of this cell tower spoofer.
Could be standard at Capital building, Pentagon and White House.
Anyone who thinks they are walking around in DC, let alone th le capitol itself, without the entirety of their digital devices being thoroughly compromised is hopelessly naive or painfully uninformed.
Also, let’s not forget that DC was designed and built as THE premiere Masonic chessboard. One of the largest ritual altars operating on the planet today.
That’s why FBI stands for Federal Bureau of investigation Not arrest. They just accumulate evidence
Yeah, ok. Chances are they’re probably mostly a bunch of pencil-pusher ghouls, wearing white socks, trying to bum cigarettes at bars and develop contacts in the underworld. Or, some shit.
BUT, more importantly:
The FBI has historically been occupied with infiltration and sabotage, including concocting plots to frame up sluggard dinguses, so the agency can gin up political points and further push their crackdown on the terrorism du jour narrative (black, native, environmental, animal rights, white supremacist..)
WHO BOMBED YOU KNOW WHO?
Oops, I forgot to include how heavy the FBI was into trying to get deadbeat doofus nominallly Muslim kids into playing like they were Terrorists twenty years ago.
“Hey guy, don’t you really wanna blow up a courthouse with a van full of dummy explosives? We’ll totally hook you up!”
”Uh, no…not really…”
Fast Forward to the plot on Gretchen Whitmer.
Yawn.
Anyways, I guess since Biden wrote the legislation that became the first Patriot Act, we can pretend that the next patriot act to be unleashed upon us (not you Brian) will be for freedom and be even more duck-steppier in the right direction.
Goose.
Thanks, missed the edit cutoff!
The patriot act was written by neocons several years before 911
That was the common assumption for about twenty years.
Some people may have been led to believe John Woo cranked it out in between semesters at Berkeley.
That’s basically what I heard after watching WTC 7 fall, some time after Lara Logan claimed to be standing live before it, saying it had already come down.
But, Joe previously wrote the language that was foisted upon us. I say, “us,” liberally (in the classic sense.) I’m not an Iraqi, Afghani, or any kind of Muslim. But the massive, unreadable-by-any-single-person-in-under-a-year Patriot Act that was instantly approved by Congress was necessarily a preordered agenda.
You’re not too far off the right PNAC track, though.
Yup. Officially, it took one month to legislate into creation the largest bureacracy in human history.
PNAC had this plotted out well in advance.
WTC7 was one of three steel framed high rises to ever fall (that weren’t intentionally demolished)… and those three all fell on the same day.
Every frame of video surveillance from that day should be released for public scrutiny. All who broke the law should be punished according to the law.
Yeah and all the undercover officers identified and any active roles revealed. Wouldn’t surprise me if undercovers were 10% of the crowd in the Capitol. Who lead the charge?
Breheny is the 14th alleged Oath Keeper to be charged in the Capitol riot. A group of 12 other Oath Keepers have been charged together in a criminal conspiracy case, and another agreed to cooperate with prosecutors after he entered a guilty plea last month. A fuller picture has emerged about the rioters, with researchers identifying members of more than a dozen extremist groups that took part in the riots.
Speculation is not evidence
Tell that to MSM who prosecuted kyle, and so many others based on speculation. If a war is what you want, a war is what we shall have. Full of people who use the powers of state to further remove the people from control.
That’s why squirrel is asking the identities be released.
Did you not listen to the speeches leading up to the coup attempt? Did you not hear the words of Trump?
Traitors, all…
You mean “peacefully protest”?
I watched Trump’s speech live. Pretty mellow. NBD.
You must know who the goons setting up shop before the speech was over are.
This fall, when President Trump refused to accept the results of the election, it raisedconcerns about whether he was attempting to stage a coup to remain in power. After several weeks of delay, the transition to a new administration is now underway. But the incident raises the question: to what extent do democracies need to worry about coup attempts?
…..
Here, the bigger risk to democracy is the more gradual imposition of restrictions of political participation or chipping away at norms of accountability for political leaders—steps scholars refer to as “democratic backsliding,” rather than coups.
https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/democracies-worry-about-coups/
Of course, we have now backslided;
Signals of regression in the U.S. began in 2016, and is part of a global retreat in the health of democracies…
…..
Defined as democratic nations experiencing “gradual but significant weakening of checks on government and civil liberties,” backsliding democracies now make up over 30% of the world’s population. According to its annual report, the International IDEA has found that the U.S. faces particular challenges in the realms of effective legislative bodies and declines in the freedoms of expression and assembly.
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2021-11-24/study-classifies-u-s-democracy-as-backsliding-for-the-first-time
Jeffrey Clark, an assistant attorney general in the Justice Department under Donald Trump, played a key role in Trump’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. And new evidence obtained by the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection suggests he was working more closely with the White House than was previously known
Team Cockroach, for the Hoax!
Yeah, crazy how this authoritarianism has risen under Brandon
Well now, wasn’t it Joe Kennedy that bought the election for JFK?
Didn’t Joe work with the Mafia and Germany?
The JFK assignation and hidden evidence, lost or hidden for over 50 years.
Didn’t Hoover try to get MLK to commit suicide?
Wasn’t the death of RFK a bit suspicious?
Remember Nixon?
What really happened with Judi Barri?
The fbi is still in the Hoover Building… remember Hoover and his tactics?
History didn’t start when TRB landed in the USA.
But suddenly when we get to Trump, there’s never been a coup attempt?
I’ll wait until the Government is forced to release all the video from 1/6.
And the Durham report is done.
You don’t move goalposts, you simply run to a different field.
And another.
And another.
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/10/details-of-the-money-behind-jan-6-protests-continue-to-emerge/
Keep dancing.
Then, follow the money. At this stage the Jan 6 commission has WAY more video than any Joe can access. Stupid Trump political hacks. Stupid violent protestors. Both employing tech to hang themselves with.
The Q is strong in this thread…
Flat earthers everyone of them
Another drug addled domestic terrorist. Treason, punishable by death or not less than 5 years in prison and $10,000 fine. Punks.
“ Another drug addled domestic terrorist. Treason, punishable by death or not less than 5 years in prison and $10,000 fine. Punks.”.
That is such a perfect description of the Biden family, and what should be done to them. Spot on ??
They should be charged with treason and sentenced appropriately.
So should the current president
Keep trying.
I hate the current president, pretty much hate the whole administration. I think that the DNC is a criminal organization and that their betrayal of their constituents is what led to Trump’s election.
That being said Biden has done nothing remotely bordering on treason.
If the FDA / CDC can change the definition of vaccine, I think it is time to redefine treason.
I agree.
Your comments should fit the new definition!
Taking bribe money from China and Russia and the Ukraine, and many more countries to subvert the constitution, and possibly start ww3 is treason to me.
Confirmed by his own son, the big guy gets 10%
He bragged about Ukraine on TV for the world to hear.
Don’t forget all those CNN lies are broadcast internationally.
Fox is not.
Based on what?
looks pretty peaceful in those photos. also looks like the cop isn’t too worried about the peaceful demonstrators walking through the door. fascist prosecutors disenfranchising political protest.
This is a pretty fascinating site that collated the videos from the Jan 6 event. https://projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol-videos/
Plenty of videos of folks just standing around. And…plenty that show a lot more than that.
Yes after far-right militants paved the way by beating and pepper spraying police, storming barricades oh yea quite peaceful.
When you get done pretending a three hour riot was an insurrection, see if you can pick out the FBI informants.
Extra points if you can capture them texting their handlers while walking through open doors.
What? The Capitol Police won’t release the footage?
Now, that’s funny…
Considering we the people are footing the bill, the joke is on us
Totally annonymous commentors demanding transparency!!
Nothing more funny.
Great argument for maintaining the practice of deploying covert operative provocateurs to advance a political agenda.
You mean like here in the comment section?
I agree.
One anti gov anti vax all conspiracy commentor keeps getting banned but breaks back in every day.
Who knows maybe you’re……nah, nevermind.
Beating police with flagpoles (w US flags on them), bear spraying, beating, etc is peaceful?
You undermine your own statements and parroting of misinformation.
Very sad
Reservations required if one wants to visit the People’s House.
Has there ever been a president that has sent more followers/ suppoters/employees to prison because they drank his kool-aid?
Just wondering…
I feel safe in saying that soldiers in the Clinton Crime Syndicate may have seen jail time, but they were all murdered before they could be tried.
And reinstated to government positions by Biden inc.
DC judge to federal prosecutor:
“Mr. Holdridge had a phone and a flag in the US Capitol?”
Yes, your honor. You know the Democrats in Congress are triggered by the US Flag. They look on it as a hate symbol.
“Don’t all of Congress take their cell phones to work and have flags in their offices?”
Yes, your honor. The Democrats need to stay in constant contact with Communist China so they can receive their marching orders. As far as us flags, I’m not sure. Most of them have red flags, a few have rainbow flags, others have whirled peas flags…
“Okay, I’ve heard enough. Mr. Holdridge your free to go after you lay your penis on this table right here.”
Mr Holdridge says, “WHAT?”
“Bailiff, whack his pee pee!”
“Now get these Congress people in here so I can convict them for dereliction of duty, consorting with the enemy, treason, and all-around dirtbaggedness!”
Next case!
Good send him back here so he can do the jail time he was supposed to be doing for drug offenses . I can’t believe your defending this loser meth dealer
I’m not defending him, fox. That’s satire. I don’t care who you are, that’s funny, right there! Took me 10 minutes to type it, I was laughing so hard!
Better keep trying.
Here is a link to satire. Learn from them.

Just when I was ready to make popcorn and sit back and watch the mud ball fight, I ran out of comments!
It was an intelligence operation.!
Too many incidents of collusion from the establishment.
Jan 6 was a protest.
Nov 3 was the insurrection.
The fbi have been busy little beavers.
Against the American people
Absolute bullshit
Guess who is on the federal watch list the rest of his life?
You should text that to all your contacts on Xmas eve.
Follow the Money.
For example, a Trump campaign fundraiser, Caroline Wren, helped oversee logistics, budgeting, funding and messaging for the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol building.
This is just a little piece, of what was a large overall effort to steal the election from Biden. An ultimately violent effort, doesn’t matter some were just standing around, directed at members of Congress and Pence (Trumps own guy … who knew early on Trump was a Nutjob).
The top players behind Wren? A whole cast of Nutjob Jrs (including Bannon, Flynn, Meadows). We all know what they launched was an assault on America. They thought they were smart, slick, Americans first. What turncoats they are, what treasonous dopes.
So, as to Holdridge. In this case, he looks like the victim of a crime. A crime on Americans inflicted by people (formally) at the very top. Teachable moment? Yep. Dont follow online marching orders issued, ultimately, by RWNJ’s.
Keep smoking that Nancy shit.
Poor Nancy, she relied on an astrologer to help the Ronnie.
?
Pretty sure it was puppy-uppers for Mrs. Ronbo, but do let us know when you figure out how Gavin’s auntie stayed up all night to stand before cameras on 1/7 yapping about, “Putin’s puppet…Putin’s poodle…phone records!”
If you and the mayor could all get that Government grade shit, there’d be a lot less looking for trouble around here.
“Follow the Money.
For example, a Trump campaign fundraiser, Caroline Wren, helped oversee logistics, budgeting, funding and messaging for the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol building.”
Now if we could only track down the origins of the virus, and who funded it…..who oversaw logistics, budgeting
, funding, and messaging ..
There’s much more death and Injury from this man made virus than from 1/6.
Do you understand the importance of asymmetrical warfare? Too many people clutching their family jewels about 1/6, and a handful of deaths.
When faceless people die, and are threatened with permanent damage and the narrative gets stuck on 1/6 instead of Wuhan, Fauci, Gates, Das hack
You may begin to see a pattern.
It’s why nothing ever changes.
You’ll lose your mind if Trump gets elected in 2024. He’d easily beat Brandon, Kammie, or Pete so Dems better come up with someone new
Do you think anyone would be considered clever if they started calling “Donald” “Ronald”?
I would think they were a fucking moron.
But hey…..y’all keep doing your thing. Cause there ain’t much else ya got for a debate anyway.
Giant Squirrel 2024!
Distracted by the lights, the NOISE, the machine forces you to defend your position every day, and all the real problems in our minds, our house, our neighborhoods, become an extension of a war that we cannot Win, against well funded, well trained professionals in the art of DECEPTION.
WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, this machine is out to destroy the economic strength of every working family on the planet.
It’s time to reflect on what is your 3 most important issues.
PS. If have a penis, you don’t have a say in the abortion debate. Just don’t have unprotected sex around the Overton window
Heh, I simply McLove that you really said “well trained professionals in the art of DECEPTION”
It’s big business creating the American people as the new terrorists.
Break your conditioning, and recognize that warfare and spending of human capital over the past 100 years has been a psyop to Invest your blood sweat and tears into their narrative.
Change the narrative, defund the state department, the pentagon, and a bunch of 3 letter agencies.
Let them raise money with bake sales and car washes.
They have turned the power of the public and private sector against the people.
It’s a war against our renaissance.
What brought you to RHBB?
I know a few who have been banned recently, and you’re a new name throwing up some serious red flags.
Would you like to tell us about medical tyranny?
A bake sale is one thing, but, why did you have to put the image in my head of a bunch of politicians giving a car wash. I’d rather pay the homeless guy on the corner to wash my car. Not any better of an image, but, he’d probably do a better job.
Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued.
Dem damn liars every one
And what lib can object to a law that allows abortions in the first 15 weeks, before the baby can feel the pain of the infanticide procedure?
So after 15 weeks, a fetus is a fully functioning human in your opinion?
Only six other countries in the world allow late term abortions like the US, including North Korea and China. When will US abortion law conform to civilized world norms?
way to be representing the good ole emerald triangle.
“Anybody that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election is either very stupid, or very corrupt!”
– Donald Trump
Looks like he forgot to say that some are likely both.
He fucked up in his messaging.
Apparently you didn’t catch it.
And it proves his point, quite perfectly.
Infact, I knew it would.
Unless, of course, you didn’t notice that the joke was on you…
1st) What did Trump say?
2nd) What are you saying?
I would’ve been disappointed if you hadn’t asked…
I’m going to let you go ahead and think about it for a while.
Also, it might be more convenient and sporting if we continue in a fresher thread.
Don’t worry, I won’t forget…
‘Looks like he forgot to say that some are likely both’:
A person “that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election (and, therefore) is very stupid, or very corrupt!”
AND
A person “that does think there was massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election (and, therefore) is very stupid, or very corrupt!”
Brandon allows completion of Nordstrom 2 pipeline to Europe and in exchange he forfeits Ukraine to Russia. Would Trump have made that deal? What does Putin have on Hunter and the Biden crime family?
Biden couldn’t stop Nordstrom 2.
See that’s the thing with Sovereign countries, they make decisions for themselves and don’t always do what they’re friends and allies want them to do.
I guess our sanctions have no muscle then and Brandon’s threats won’t discourage Putin from annexing Ukraine
When has Putin or Russia give a single fuck about US or European sanctions against them?
Never
No surprise there
The best thing about Nordstrom was how their salespeople would remember you, your size, and which garments you last shopped for…for years!
Thanks for the comical correction, it’s Nord Stream 2 not Nordstrom
?
Kym, While Jan. 6,2021 may have been almost a year ago, it occurred this year, not last year, as the title states.
Fixed
From Cheney (R), at a House Rules Committee hearing last Thursday:
“We anticipate next year, we will be conducting multiple weeks of public hearings, setting out for the American people in vivid color exactly what happened, every minute of the day on January 6th, here at the Capitol and at the White House, and what led to that violent attack.”
Weeks of public hearings. In vivid color. Niiiice. Nowhere to run, y’all RW emerald triangle online spin doctors (er, interns). The truth is coming out in all its glory, with supporting documentation (testimony, emails, texts, phone calls, money-trail).
If you were in support of the Jan 6 attack, before or after, then you get to re-live what actually really happened that day, and what led to it. The who, the how, and the why. Yep, all the Presidents men (and women), from the top on down to the duped likes of the bellowing little horned guy.
You can talk the usual shit back, all you want, but you can’t hide.
They tried that already. It didn’t stick, due to there being no fucking evidence to support the bullshit charges.
But, do send her a telegram asking what her daddy was up to on 9/11. He’s a hero, now—yeah?
It’s 2021, same year as Jan6 riot, not 2001. But, hey, go try and talk to Liz as to Daddy. Rush the door even.
Maybe you can broker a WMD deal between one of Rumsfeld’s offspring and Holdridge, then Liz can invade Eureka.
Maybe you can broker a deal with Hurwitz , to put the trees back. I’d like to see that.
Yeah, that’d be neat.
When you’re done building your invisible hay loft, we should talk about our favorite Daryl songs.
Try two: yy

Why wasn’t anyone charged with “insurrection” of that’s what it was?
Insurrection is a rare charge.
https://www.foleygriffin.com/blog/2021/january/is-insurrection-a-crime-/
Insurrection refers specifically to acts of violence, but it is far from the only charge that could apply to those who stormed the Capitol in 2021. Seditious conspiracy, for instance, is an effort to overthrow the U.S. government, and the punishment includes up to 20 years in prison. Individuals can be charged with sedition and conspiracy even if they never carry out the violence they planned.
No one has been charged with insurrection (or seditious conspiracy) 11 months later, because the evidence to support such an extraordinary (“rare”) charge in Federal court either does not exist, or has not been publicly revealed.
Fantasizing intent doesn’t cut it.
There’s just so many other juicy charges to pick from, a veritable box of chocolates.
Yeah. I don’t see why they’re so hung up on parading and trespassing charges, when they could easily nail a few of them for unsanctioned lounging. Probably farting on government property, too. Maybe those guys just didn’t have their phones on.

Meth head, serial criminal, head full of right wing madness….. yep, that’s a typical Trump supporter.
Excerpts from an AP story, today:
““We are not the fringe. We are the base of the party,” (Marjory Taylor) Greene.”
Yep. She’s the current Queen of the GOP base. See what y’all base have done?
“(Greene ) has previously endorsed calls to assassinate prominent Democrats …”
Yep. Major Jan6 supporter.
“(Greene) a former adherent of the QAnon conspiracy theories, she once mused that a wealthy Jewish family may have used space lasers to spark California wildfires.”
Nutjob.
As to Greene, Nancy Grace (R) representing South Carolina says:
“If you say something bats____ crazy, if you say something extreme, you are going to raise money.”
Yep, and the ex-President is king of it, sucking in suckers since 2016.
Enjoy your new GOPers, Amerika. And you, on the hill and in the woods, watch out for those lasers.
Just to cut through much of the BS, no one has been charged with insurrection or even seditious conspiracy (and you know they would if they could) so all this January 6th committee stuff is mostly about nothing more than parading, trespassing, and disorderly conduct. Admittedly there are a small number charged with assault. USA Today published the full list of 672 charged in an article today so read it yourself. So let’s limit the discussion to what the event truly was not some hyped up media sensationalism.
“Just to cut through much of the BS…”

Straight from cops there that day, noted in July testimony at the Capitol:
Metrology Police Officer Daniel Hodges detailed the weapons used against officers that day including police shields, batons, hammers, a sledgehammer, flag poles, tasers, pepper spray, bear and wasp spray, copper pipes, rocks, table legs broken down, guardrails, cones and “any items they can get their hands on.””
One rioter who tried to take his baton and another shouted at him, “‘You will die on your knees.'”
Another Officer, Harry Dunn, noted a
a torrent of racial epithets. One woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled “You hear that guys, this n***** voted for Joe Biden.”
But do keep it up, Mir, keep digging that hole.
Testimony? More like a lineup of leftist Trump haters putting on an act, like the lineup at the Ukraine phonecard impeachment. Where’s the opportunity for Republican leadership to present witnesses?
Um, you mean assaulted by Trumps haters.
Keeeeep … dancing. ?
Just got here. I miss anything important?
