      Except . . . they didn’t “take” jack shit, except one that did on the marble floors of one hallway. They assaulted some officers, came in, rooted around, posed on some desks, took some inconsequential stuff, smeared shit on the walls, and were forced to leave again before getting to even the first lawmaker or Electoral College vote box.

      It was like someone let monkeys out of cages: only a few hours before they were collected and the site made secure. I’ve seen high schoolers breaking into school with more aptitude and discipline than these fools.

      “Take the Capitol,” lol, no. They had seven objectives and didn’t achieve a single one. Five people died for losers who couldn’t even complete so much as the first objective of their plan.

        I’ve seen high schoolers breaking into school with more aptitude and discipline than these fools.

        Me and two of my classmates did this. Not a story I get to tell very often in any sorta context. We found the janitor’s porn magazine stash and replaced the on hold music CD with a Black Sabbath one. Besides for that we didn’t do anything.

        Got to admit the women’s staff bathroom was disappointing. I don’t know what 15 year old me was expecting to see but it wasn’t just a slightly cleaner bathroom.

      that took the capitol after Trump disarmed the security, refused the reinforcement of both capitol police and denied deployment of the national guard.

      stop acting like they stormed the pentagon under fire.
