Speakers podium was on eBay (until it wasn't)

[luv2fly]

President Donald Trump's Justice Department revealed specifics about some of the insurrectionists that broke into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

Local Washington, D.C. NBC News reporter Scott MacFarlane cited the DOJ's information about the arrests during the siege.

The report said that there was "large amount of pilfering" at the Capitol Wednesday. The man who stole the Speaker's podium reportedly put it up for sale on eBay. It was eventually removed but not before reaching $100,000.

5. No kidding

I mean stealing the podium was dumb enough, getting your picture doing it was even dumber, but then putting it on ebay? Good grief, Idiot of the year nominee.

7. What a fucking rube

At least do it through craigslist or something. What were they *trying* to dox themselves?

6. He'd have to be really damn stupid to do that.

I rather doubt it, though I don’t doubt his stupidity in stealing it.

18. He was smiling for the camera while stealing it

Stupidity is implied for this guy.

[Yeehah]

9. Podium guy will be going up the river for awhile

Soliciting the sale of stolen goods has been added to his charge sheet.

[Rustynaerduwell]

14. He just walked out the door with it? Seriously?

Now THAT is the confidence of white privilege in action.

16. If someone dies during the commission of a crime

Doesn’t that make it exponentially worse?

17. My fantasy scenario

MAGA Terrorist - steals podium, lists it on eBay
Misc MAGAts - Bid up the price, knowing the listing will be pulled and they'll never have to pay.
eBay: double-crosses the Misc MAGAts by working with FBI to take over MAGA terrorist's account, but allowing the auction to continue until they complete the transaction and arrest the "winning" Misc MAGAt for receiving stolen property.

(probably entrapment, I know, but it's my fantasy)

22. I like how you think

Time will tell, not sure what's going to happen but I sure do like how you think.
