Yeah no blue tick and i can't see her using "queen europe" as her twitter handle.

Plus it says it is a parody account and she would never say such a thing

The family didn't mention she was pregnant, so she likely wasn't.

Police identify woman fatally shot in U.S. Capitol as Ocean Beach resident

SAN DIEGO — The woman who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol Building during a violent pro-Trump siege Wednesday was an Ocean Beach resident. U.S. Capitol Police Chief Stev…

she had a twitter, which is still up. ghoulish to link to it, but it's all MAGA all the time. she was really stoked to go to DC.

The animal skins Qanon prophet has inspired others look. That looks like a real police shield too?
I keep wondering where all these great photos are coming from (this one was just in guardian, taken by a photojournalist i think).

Capitol Police later rediscovered their ability to arrest people - here arresting journalists from WaPo, clearly a greater threat than those attacking the Capitol:

Cops probably feel on a lot more solid ground with that. In times of stress, people fall back on what they know.

Yep, when in doubt check whether the account says 'i am a parody account' on it. this prevents legal problems so its usually there.

If it was her.

Good point!

Looking through the photos from inside the capitol building yesterday there are a pretty significant number of people who are wearing Qanon related signifiers (Q t shirts or carrying placards about save the children etc). The fact that the president's loudest supporters in recent months (Flynn Powell Wood etc) have been entirely from deep in the Q camp obviously helped motivate the more hardcore turnout.

Is there anyway to describe it than fucking nuts?

It's a lot more interesting than that, tbh. But yeah, it is also nuts.

Yeah, I may be a little more exasperated than interested, as I've had a family member fall into the conspiracy rabbit hole, using QAnon hashtags from their North London semi

... and there it is

Vermont puts Biden over 270.

 

[Roadkill]

Bloody hell.

... now they are objecting to Wisconsin's votes being counted. No Senator can be found to back them up, though.

Glad I didn't stay up. Seems the peak was before I even put the telly on.

Hard to believe all the people smashing the place up were just allowed to leave. But expected given deliberate police entryism by right wing groups over the course of several decades.

So the GOP is actually the anarchist party? Well that's a surprise.

Impressive work from this ITV crew:

Big balls on that reporter and crew.

 

[Cloo]

Looking forward to all the bad takes from people who otherwise support violent suppression of protest and people being shot by police

 

[agricola]

not sure I've ever heard a prayer call people out like that, though it was very well done

 

[bimble]

oh twitter's suspended Lin Wood, just now, he was still there when i looked earlier, posting PROOF that the people smashing stuff up were antifa with false flag hats on.

Trump has conceded, albeit in a weaselly way.

“A woman was shot dead by police and three others died of "medical emergencies"

What were/are the medical emergencies?

A bunch of purple-faced, overweight males who equate vegetables with communism bellowing themselves hoarse for hours on end...wouldn't bet against heart attacks.

So, the people who did this strolled in and then walked out again, taking souvenirs with them. There is just no possible way that the security services were totally surprised by the events of the day, not a chance, it was advertised for weeks, by the actual president 'come on down on 6th it will be wild' etc.

wondered if it was reaction to tear gassing, or choke hold type bullshit.

If I was an American I’d be less concerned about a ramshackle pitch invasion by a few dozen loons than what oppressive shit the state will enact in response. Don’t cheerlead just because this bunch aren’t on our side.
