    This made me literally laugh out loud. This is the most entitled group of "revolutionaries" ever. I'm supposed to feel sorry for him because he can't get an organic menu in jail? If the bologna in the sandwiches they serve you hasn't turned green yet, you're way ahead of the curve.

    The guy with the zip ties also went there with his mom. I detect a pattern.

    Many of these people weren't hiding their identity and even gave their names to the press and on social media. I don't think many of them think consequences through that well. I think there will be things happening on the 20th and after the 20th.

    I don't know if this was posted already but a very sad aftermath..

    A Capitol Police Officer On Duty During The Coup Attempt Has Died By Suicide
    Officer Howard Liebengood was 51 years old.

    A US Capitol Police officer on duty during Wednesday's coup attempt by Trump supporters died by suicide on Saturday, his family has announced.

    Officer Howard Liebengood, 51, had been assigned to the Senate Division and joined the department in 2005.

    Barry Pollack, a lawyer for Liebengood's family, told BuzzFeed News the officer had been at the Capitol during the insurrection.

    "His death is a tragedy that has deprived all of us a dedicated public servant," Pollack said. "His family has suffered a devastating loss and asks that they be given space to grieve in private."

    His death came days after an attempted coup by violent Trump supporters left a fellow Capitol Police officer dead. Officer Brian Sicknick was injured while "physically engaging" with rioters and later died at a hospital.

    According to CBS News, several Capitol Police officers have threatened self-harm in the days following the riot.

    The union representing the Capitol Police said the dead officers' service will not be forgotten.

    "We are reeling from the death of Officer Liebengood," Gus Papathanasiou, chair of the Capitol Police Labor Committee, said in a statement. "Every Capitol Police Officer puts the security of others before their own safety and Officer Liebengood was an example of the selfless service that is the hallmark of USCP."

    Members of Congress also remembered Liebengood.

    "He was friendly, professional, and dedicated to the job," Sen. Roy Blunt said in a statement Sunday. "I appreciate everything he did to keep us safe."

    Rep. Dean Phillips said he mourned Liebengood, but he also called for accountability for the failures in Wednesday's response.

    "Our officers need more than gratitude," he said in a tweet. "They need authentic, capable leadership and meaningful support, and I call on my colleagues to join me demanding it immediately."

    Others also remembered Liebengood as a friendly face within the Capitol building.

    Agree and that's one way to get term limits since these perpetual teet suckers will never implement them.

    One good thing that may come out of all this is the precedent that is being set that if you deny the truth (voting against certifying the results) then companies will stop wanting to do business with you. Hopefully it continues as the party of science deniers and liars should lose more and more money.

    In a capitalistic society where money is the bottom line, the best lesson for these people is to have their wallet taken away. If we can't have morality at least we can have accountability via lost business.

    I can't help but wonder if it was guilt or stress from what happened that led to this.
