I have been listening carefully to the seditionists

[malaise]

It seems to me that they are woefully ignorant on the seriousness of their crimes and appear to value likes over their own lives. Some of them just wanted to be on TV. I saw one woman literally reeling off the names of channels where she saw herself.
And don't forget ''I got maced'' Elizabeth who clearly lives in her own universe.

1. And they have an entitlement attitude.

They think the cops should have just laid down for them. And some of them actually did.

[malaise]

3. So true

They have no idea what is unlawful or illegal and apparently the same is true for some of the cops and even lawyers who showed up. Sometimes I wonder if they think this is a real life video game for some of these idiots.

7. I'm wondering whether they were promised immunity?

I also believe, given the plans for more insurrection so near Joe & Kamala's inauguration, they should never have been released.

I did not see even a hint of even home confinement!

Why would judges believe that a sternly worded court order to stay out of DC prevent further terrorist acts?

[malaise]

12. You know he told us he was immune from responsibility

Remember he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a supporter.

If they keep this up, they will be shot dead - take that to the bank.
Some of the insurrectionists are business owners - can you imagine them allowing people to come in and sack their business?

[SheltieLover]

23. Makes me nuts!

Now these violent people are being released by judges, with stern warnings. As if such people would be likely to respect any law or condition set by a judge?

Not even a hint of a mention of home monitoring!

No, of course those trying to overthrow our govt would not allow someone to ransack their businesses.

And, perhaps you are correct about consequences if they keep this up.

2. If you worship at the feet of a failed reality TV star,

I guess it's easy to believe you've achieved the pinnacle of life by getting your filthy face on TV.

Eh, malaise?

[malaise]

4. Beautifully stated

The stupid burns!

[Mme. Defarge]

11. Even if he thinks you're too

low brow?

[SheltieLover]

5. Incredible, isn't it?

Just like dump, stone, etc!

Were ghey promised pardons up-front? Maybe in that repuke AG letter encouraging insurrection?

I hope their actions serve to land them in prison for decades!

6. This is a really good observation. They wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

They'll enjoy it until the FBI comes knocking at their door or they lose their jobs.

8. It's all so odd. People committing serious federal crimes and they act like it was game,

a lark.

Even with some of the seditionists knowing better, the ones who are LEO, US military officers and elected officials.

I imagine the FBI and attorneys are having interesting interviews with these people.
I would think at some point they come out of their reverie and face reality.

What kind of brainwashing program have these people been subjected to?
And what kind of personalities would fall for it?

[malaise]

16. You nailed it

They all want to be seen in the Trump Fascist shitshow which turns out to be an attempted coup

[Irish_Dem]

18. You have given the best concise summary so far explaining the phenomenon.

They got so wrapped up and seduced with the crazy train they forgot everything else.

[malaise]

19. I love my parents, grand parents and aunts

The two most post important things they instilled in all of us were the value of education and the importance of understanding that we must never make a decision without thinking about the consequences in advance.

I think I got one part of it right but we must remember that interspersed among the idiots were well trained operatives who went into that building to steal confidential stuff and slaughter people.

We don't yet know what they got yet and we don't know if Russian operatives were there. The good news is that failed to overthrow the government and Biden was certified.
Trump and his family must pay for this big time.

[Irish_Dem]

21. The LEO and Military were well trained to think of consequences and have situational

awareness. That is why it is so odd.

I agree, it is quite possible there were embedded subgroups using the clownish crowds as cover.
With sinister motives.

It is a miracle that there were not kidnappings or more deaths.

[malaise]

22. Yep - while there may have been some criminal cops who were accomplices

those cops knew the layout and secured staff and elected officials - they were efficient on steroids. They were outnumbered big time but still saved hundreds of lives and the members of the legislative branch government and their staff.
It appears that dumkfucks were the vast majority of the terrorists.

[dawg day]

9. It's cosplaying

They think it's literally a game, and they are baffled when people really die and they really get arrested. That CEO from Chicago.. . You can see him waking up. "Wait. I'm going to be fired? But this was just one of those role-playing games!"

[malaise]

17. You can see him waking up. "Wait. I'm going to be fired?

[Vinca]

10. It's very handy the way they identify themselves and talk about their crimes. They should

be encouraged to give the address where the FBI can pick them up, too.

[malaise]

15. That's how stupid they are

They so want to be seen that they incriminate themselves

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. Welcome to the world of reality outside your right-wing fascist bubble, MAGAts.

We welcome you into our world of science and facts and to our courts, unemployment offices, jails and prisons....


Have a great weekend, Malaise!.........

[malaise]

14. You too

[hatrack]

20. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life."

However, apparently it works for some people . . .

[JDC]

24. You are so right.

It was bizarre to see the majority of those "storming" the building all have their phones held high to live stream the events, and then post-summarizing their actions to the web. Talking into the camera like a weird take on The Office.

It's all in the name of self-serving internet "fame," such as it is. They think it is just a big tv show.

Next reality-type show experience for them is gonna be their take on Scared Straight. For real.

[malaise]

25. I hope they can take their phones to record their prison life

Criminal assholes
