They just dragged a guy out of the Capitol screaming Treason

He was throwing Russian flags onto the floor and screaming that Trump was involved in treason with Russia. Hecas just outside Senate chamber doors. MAJOR security breach!

I paused it, and another video, and I can not confirm with any certainty.

I'm thinking we need to take up a collection to get that hero a t-shirt cannon



On edit: The jury DID come back, and his name was on it, but it was printed on one side so half the flags didn't show it.

Although I approve of your choice. Did you know Frank Zappa sported a soul patch as a hat tip to the late great Renaissance man, Johnny Otis?



Oh, my edit was made during the grace period so that red edit banner didn't show.

"mediocre execution..."

Unless his motive was to get people discussing it. If so, rather effective.

Nothing I heard him say could I disagree with.

The man did it for all of us even knowing he'll be in deep shit. Can't wait to contribute to his defense fund.

and put into the mental ward of a prison for life. The guy with the flags today should have a statue erected in his honor (maybe in place of a confederate statue). If any single person is somehow able to stop the fucking moron that person would have a major holiday named after him/her and there will be parades and dancing in the streets and songs will be written about it. Is there anybody out there who has the courage and honor to save our country?

pay his bail bill and all his legal fees plus give him a little more for his efforts. This effort should be rewarded and encouraged!
