Apparently the people of the UK love those politicians who talk, talk, talk, and don't accomplish a damn thing.

and you love the politicians who lie lie lie and accomplish nothing but destroying the country.

The profile of the graphic protagonists of the attack: The supporter of the QAnon theory, the brazen old man and a robber with a degree in ... psychology!


 "Remember this day forever," Donald Trump wrote on Twitter yesterday in a message to his supporters who violently invaded the Capitol, adding a black page to the history of the American Republic.  Trump's urging in his tweet (which the platform later deleted) can be read in a number of ways ... However, the fact that the American president spoke in the same post about "great patriots" from whom a "sacred election" was "stolen"  "victory" leaves no doubt that he was trying to abdicate his responsibilities for the shocking chain of events that stuck the planet yesterday and caused the death of four people.

 What is certain, however, is that Trump's urging was completely unnecessary: No one in America, not even in the rest of the world, will soon forget the unthinkable scenes that unfolded yesterday in the Capitol halls and offices, inside a "symbol" building he had to accept.  "Invasion" from the Anglo-American War of 1812!  Videos and photos with the bizarre protagonists of this sad episode made (and are) making the rounds of the internet through social media and local media, causing many to ask the reasonable question: Who are these graphic people who were at the center of developments in  Washington.

 Despite the fact that there were thousands of Trump supporters who stormed the building, three are the figures who "stood out" either because of their special appearance or for their controversial (at least) actions.  Today the names of all three are known.

 The horned supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory

 The top role in yesterday's attack on the Capitol was played by a topless man with a tattoo, a face painted in the colors of the American flag and a fur hat with horns on his head.  According to the Daily Mail, this is the 32-year-old Jake Angeli, also known by the nickname "Shaman QAnon", who is almost always present at the gatherings and marches of the American Right, wearing his characteristic attire.

 See Angeli in an earlier interview:

 
 The eccentric "shaman" lives in Arizona, previously posing as a singer and actor and is said to be a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory.  According to the BBC, QAnon is a completely unfounded and unproven theory with many ramifications and variations, which essentially claims that Trump is waging a secret war against Satanist pedophiles who belong to the US elite, hold high positions in government, business and  the media and keep their unholy acts secret through a network of cover-ups.  Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.

 The brazen intruder of Pelozi's office with the ... "itch"

 Another figure who was very relevant yesterday was a 60-year-old man from Arkansas, who was photographed with his feet on the desk of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.  Richard "Bigo" Barnett describes himself as a "white nationalist" online and has expressed a desire to run for governor in 2022. The elderly man who rushed to be photographed "at home" in Pelosi's office when the invasion ended and left the  building boasted to his "comrades" that "he wrote an aggressive note to Pelosi, put his feet on her desk and scratched his numbers."


 The 60-year-old proudly displayed a file he received from the office of Pelosi, one of Trump's harshest critics during his four-year presidency.  The brazen man even insisted that ... he did not steal it, after leaving a coin on the desk.  With his shirt torn and his chest exposed to the cold, "Bigo" stayed for an hour after the invasion outside the Capitol, boasting about his achievement.


 However, when asked about the intrusion, the old man insisted that he was "just knocking on the door" when the mob behind him "pushed him inside the building".  It was a story he knew would not convince anyone ... "I'll probably keep saying that this is how things went until prison," he told the New York Times.

 It is worth noting that a note was found in Pelosi's office that read "We are not giving up", but it is not clear if this is the same thing that Barnett said he left.


 The thief of the ... analogy

 The file that "Bigo" took from Pelosi's office was just one of the "souvenirs" that the invaders took with them.  Another appeared to be holding a piece of wooden sign that was once on the door of the Democratic politician's office, which is a red cloth for Trump fans.

 Although there were many reports of looting and vandalism, the image that best captures the audacity of the looters at the Capitol was that of a man walking away smiling broadly and holding a large wooden lectern in his hands.  It is a piece of furniture that serves as a support for a document to read.


 According to the Daily Mail, the "gentleman" in question is Adam Johnson from Florida, who holds a degree in Psychology, who ... God knows what he was thinking when he made this carefree move.

 Photos on his social media, which, however, were deleted in the last few hours, show him posing next to a sign that reads "closed for all tours" inside the Capitol building.

Chaos in the USA with the invasion of the Capitol: The 4 hours that shook the world

 Trump invasion of the Capitol "hurts" US prestige more than anything else -  The "American Republic under siege": What the international press writes


 January 6, 2021 marks the last act of the drama or the tragic end of a four-year term, which divided America and damaged its reputation.  The whole planet watched in amazement the unprecedented images that unfolded in Washington and the Capitol, which resembled a coup scene.  For the first time in the country's history, supporters clashed with police, stormed a plenary session and adjourned a meeting to validate Joe Biden's election victory.

 In addition to dozens of injured, four people lost their lives.  Members of the Senate and Parliament, as well as the country's vice president himself, fled to avoid the worst.  Weapons and an explosive device were found in the Capitol.

 After the Capitol was "cleared", the Senate meeting, which is expected to ratify Biden's victory, resumed.

 The unprecedented incident lasted for about four hours, while important questions are now being raised about the lack of policing.  It took so many hours for the National Guard and the secret services to be activated.

Tear gas and crackers were used to evacuate the area.  Washington is now under draconian police measures, while the mayor announced a curfew.  The events forced the majority of the Republican Party itself to turn its arrows at Donald Trump, who provoked these strong reactions by his attitude of not recognizing the election result and talking about "fraud" in the angry crowd that  had been gathered since yesterday morning.

The Trump statement
 President Donald Trump: 'I know how you feel, but go home'

Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have split.  Despite Trump's public appeals, Mike Pence refused to acknowledge Biden's victory, while expressing his anger over the episodes and Trump's alleged victory.  "You did not win," he said.  Pompeo also spoke out against Donald Trump, condemning the invasion of the US Capitol by protesters, stressing that America is better than what we see today.  Democrats are calling for Trump to be fired immediately, with the activation of the 25th amendment to the Constitution.  The District Attorney of Columbia asked the Vice President to convene the cabinet, dismissing Trump, a few days before the formal end of his term.

 

 One by one, close associates of both Trump and his wife are resigning.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a member of the Democratic Party whose office was vandalized by the angry mob, announced that the ratification of the victory of the Democrat Joe Biden in the November 3 presidential elections will take place.  Indeed, the process is ongoing.  The Senate by 93 votes to 6 rejected the request of the Republican senators not to ratify the voters in Arizona in favor of Joe Biden.  After all, the climate changed rapidly after the episodes and in the conservative party circles.

 It was the president-elect of the United States who also addressed the sermon.  Among other things, he stated that "the scenes we see do not reflect the values and basic principles of American democracy."  Trump, however, limited himself to some lukewarm posts, urging protesters to "respect the police."  Ivank's daughter's tweet, in which the protesters were described as "patriots", also made an impression.  Finally, the social media "stopped" his account.  Former US presidents Obama and Clinton also expressed their disgust.

 European leaders have also been quick to condemn what happened on the other side of the Atlantic, calling it an "unprecedented attack on democracy".  Among other things, the French president claimed that some anarchists had entered the Capitol, trying to challenge the world's oldest democracy, stressing that "this was done with the consent of Donald Trump."  British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for an end to the "shameful images" in Washington, where protesters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to reverse Donald Trump's election defeat.

When seeing the news, I first thought they come from an African country where riots connected to elections are typical. But no, yesterday´s riot news came from Washington D.C., the heart of American democracy (very close now to "late democracy").

Those Trump´s ridgerunners that attacked the Congress made history, though the kind of history they did not expect - they do not have enough brains for thinking so clearly. They ruined the Republican party, which cannot survive such development. The party will split into two if not more parties: The Moderate Republicans and The Ridgerunners´National League. And the Democrats will run the country for many many years to come.

I hope all those ridgerunners that were caught in the attack will be condemned to many years in jail, accompanied by Donald Trump, the driving force and dear leader of them.
