Nice!

The powerful words of a federal judge today. A warning to other Capitol rioters and …. Election deniers who’d use violence

Macsen Rutledge, who was wearing a "bear-like hood" when he stormed the U.S. Capitol, was arrested in Lansing, New York, today.

Comments are fun!

DOJ Jan. 6 investigation hasn't gone into hibernation.

All this time, they had been looking for him in the woods.

I wonder if they'll let him have a litter box in prison?

He thought he outfoxed the Feds, but they hunted him down.

The bear was on the Lamb all this time?

The videotape bears witness that this dude is headed fur some legal trouble.

He's not an American, he's a furriner.

"I was there I went inside there, and, you know, I didn’t damage or break anything," an elected official in Connecticut said after online sleuths said they identified him as one of the approximately 3,000 individuals who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6.

#4258

Did some government official invite you in?

I think not.

#4259

I did do nuffin!

That’s the first time I’ve seen how many went in. Higher than I thought.

#4260

That's a corollary to "the gun just went off".

Kendra · #4261

Seem very touristy.

Dave from down under · #4262

Is there a neat list or summary of those charged of how many were:
Police - current or former
Military - same
Elected officials - same by jurisdiction
Other government officials - same by jurisdiction

#4263

This is a new one for me.

The Coast Guard.

The fucking coast guard? As troll lines go that's bloody weird.

They ought to have been on standby on the Potomac river to help Pelosi and the Democrats flee Congress

OMG. There were more insurrectionists inside the Capitol than there are active Coast Guard members stationed in and around DC. And the majority of the Coast Guard members stationed in and around DC are pencil pushers, although there is also a Ceremonial Honor Guard and a small boat station.

The Coast Guard is neither trained nor equipped for that sort of exercise, which the Commandant would have explained to Rep. Pelosi had she asked, which she in all likelihood did not.

#4268

I'm just wondering how, exactly, anyone spreading that bullshit story thinks the COAST Guard would go about securing a building? Last time I checked, the Capitol was neither boat nor floating anywhere!

Well, the Coast Guard does know how to secure a building (my husband was Chief of Security at Coast Guard Headquarters for a number of years). But it’s not trained in riot control.

Thanks for the clarification, Maybenaut!

And of course Pelosi didn't have the authority to order anything.

As a troll line, it's pathetic, but no doubt someone's picking it up and bleating it.

Nancy could have reached over to her radio, turned to CH16, and done a mayday. Coulda!

In the old days she coulda pulled out her key, fired up her mf transmitter, and sent out SOS in Morse Code on 500kHz.

Is there a Bat Signal hidden inside the rotunda?
