The Insurrection Thread

Serious question:
Will all these people be stripped of the ability to vote? I don't know which states take the right away for doing crime, but it would seem fitting in this instance.

Didn't mean to bottom page this.

MTG on the stand now testifying in the hearing about whether or not she can run for reelection based on her alleged involvement in the January 6 activities.

[Simple Torture]

Today we found out that my brother-in-law tried to drive down to DC on 1/6, but his car broke down after 90 minutes of driving.

Yesterdsy, he called his ex-wife and--after threatening to kill her if she puts their daughter on ADHD medication--said he "got a good gig" where he's going to "reprogram people," so he's going to disappear off the grid for a few days. He's also started to refer to himself as a "patriot protector."

Update.

Today my mother-in-law went to get a COVID test after weeks of feeling ill with various respiratory ailments. My wife was begging her to go. To be honest, there is probably a better chance that this is lung cancer than COVID, but my wife will probably bring her to doctor's appointments, so she asked her to get a COVID test first so that it can be taken off the list of potential causes and so my wife won't have to quarantine if she comes in contact with her.

Anyway. She finally got the test today--keep in mind, just the nasal swab test, not the vaccine--and my brother-in-law is now raging that she has been microchipped. I didn't realize there was a conspiracy theory around just the test being a tracking device, but here we are.

Also, turns out that reprogramming camp he went to was in Rhode Island, but he didn't even stop by to say hi. Damn shame.

Arraigned today on four felonies, including battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and intimidating a witness. It'd be an incredible shock if he actually faced consequences for this.

My wife saw a video of the aftermath of the incident that led to these charges, and in it my BIL is using the n-word quite liberally (all of the parties are white). Someone calls him on it, and he proceeds to explain how the word only recently gained a racist meaning and is more often just used to refer to a "stupid person."

Double update: my wife's ex-sister-in-law is working on getting a restraining order on my brother-in-law, mostly due to threats he's been sending her via text. He's referenced "new friends he's made" that can "make her life a living hell."

Also: he has a court date on Monday for the above-mentioned assault charges, and both he and the victim have asked my mother-in-law for a ride to the courthouse. Never a dull moment.

So my BIL has always been OT III with Q-Anon stuff, but he's been pretty docile lately by all reports. However, he's recently felt emboldened due to the "Let's go Brandon" stuff--his name is Brandon, so he feels pride that it's what people have started to use to be subversive and pass along secret messages. Possibly related, he broke his restraining order this week by texting his ex-wife and telling her he was going to cut her throat. Arrested and released the same day. I don't even think he's getting a court date for this one.

Pretty fucked up considering the failed murder-suicide in Salem this week.

It seems the arrest/violation of restraining order triggered weekly drug/alcohol screenings, but nothing more.

It’s been a while! On the day the Elon Musk purchase of Twitter was announced, my BIL registered a Twitter account. His bio says “Child sex trafficking is the world’s real pandemic. Abortion is murder. Anti-groomer. FIX 2020. John 3:16.”

165 tweets in his first day.

Tried that, no luck. Been to rehab three times--the first two times, he was caught stealing from his employer, and they paid for him to fly out to California to rehab there. He was kicked out both times for fighting on the day before completing his program. The final time--which was the last time my wife saw him--he was involuntarily committed, and convinced them to let him go. John 3:16!

This guy just got convicted for participation in 1/6. His defense was he didn’t know Congress met there

I get why they're stringing this out.
I get why they're clear that they're not done with the investigation.
I don't get why nothing will happen from all of this.

Why is it on primetime though?

Bc it's a big deal, verb.
