One committed suicide today.  Too early to know the details, but it makes you wonder...

These are some of the patriots, as Ivanka Trump called them, who attempted the coup/insurrection:

The Three Percenters (also known as III%ers, 3%ers or Threepers) are part of the militia movement in the United States and are anti-government extremists, according to the ADL.



4 Chan extremists who take inspiration of their flag from Nazis.



this one doesn’t need any description.

Plus, a bunch of anti-Semitic shirts, slogans and hoodies.

These are the patriots.

Shady’s heroes.

Sad.
It's an occupational hazard for police. Spending your working life dealing with the worst of society takes its toll.

That could be the case....  or he felt bad about not doing what he should have done?  Did he let the insurrectionists into the building?  Or maybe he actively aided them and didn’t want to do the perp-walk as a traitor...

No info about it yet...

There's nothing racist about the Gadsden flag.  It's unfortunately been used a lot lately by some d-bag far-right "freedom lovers".  It was created during the American Revolution.  The snake represents the 13 colonies joined in union together that will strike if stepped on (like a rattlesnake), that comes from the "Join or Die" cartoon attributed to Ben Franklin in 1754 where each part of the cut up snake represents one of the 13 colonies:

It has been co-opted by racist a-holes.  Like many historic flags.

Parler, the pro-Trump 'alternative' social media site (since 2018) - regularly touted by advocates for its "free expression"... absence of censorship! Apparently, with recent days activities, consequences to its conservative and extremist devotees:

=> Google suspended the Parler app from the Google Play Store
=> Apple suspended the Parler app from the App Store
=> Amazon notified Parler that its AWS cloud hosting service would be terminated tomorrow (Sunday)

Parler CEO John Matze: Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”

Quote
They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet. They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.

They’re trying to falsely claim that we’re somehow responsible for the events that occurred on the 6th.

It would put anybody out of business. This thing could destroy anybody.

We’re going to try our best to get back online as quickly as possible. But we’re having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work with us. Because if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t.

What it does mean, though, is that AWS has monopolistic power.

I like that Shopify and CC transaction companies have also bailed on Trump. That means he can't even fundraise properly. He'll have to take cash collections at rallies or something.

I like that he can't make a playlist on Spotify.

That might be a good thing to see

Records show fervent Trump fans fuelled US Capitol takeover

Real bunch of winners here.

Wild how there are so many serving or former LEOs and military in there, I wonder if that says something about those particular institutions...

Even better...

Supposedly before it was kicked off Amazon's web services, hackers managed to get in and download all sorts of records (even material that was supposedly 'deleted').

From: https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgqbex/parler-is-gone-but-hackers-say-they-downloaded-everything-first
Right-wing social network Parler was taken offline in the early hours of Monday morning, but not before hackers found a way to download all data posted by users — including messages, images, videos, and users’ location data — shared during last week’s attack on the Capitol....Trump supporters are already voicing their concerns about what the data dump could expose about them and their activity in Washington, D.C. last week.
