It goes against the first amendment that gets conveniently forgotten when talking about media outlets that dare to question the dear leader or sporting figures wishing to express themselves

Baked Alaska, the QAnon Shaman … who led the storming of the Capitol?
Collection of far-right activists and groups came to Washington DC to enact a familiar playbook:A neo-Nazi conspiracist called Baked Alaska. A rightwing troll formerly known as Ali Akbar. A part-time actor with a horned furry hat who goes by the name QAnon Shaman.
These are some of the Donald Trump supporters who incited and led the storming of the US Capitol on Wednesday.
Their pseudonyms and eclectic backgrounds and the chaotic scenes suggested a disorganised rabble but this was an insurrection foretold.
The same far-right activists and groups that have spent the past four years marching, protesting and trolling on behalf of the president came to Washington DC to enact a familiar playbook – except this time on the biggest stage of all.
The flags and insignias advertised who they were: the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, QAnon, once shadowy groups that now rallied in broad daylight, their assault on democracy performed as public spectacle for a world that watched in horror.
Others brandished banners with more recent monikers, such as Stop the Steal, an umbrella term for those who believe Trump won the election and that Joe Biden is a usurper.
“Make America great again,” declared one flag. “Liberty or death: don’t tread on me,” said another, brandished alongside the confederate symbol. “Trump 2020: **** your feelings,” said the fastest-selling T-shirt. Some messages were pithier: “**** Biden.”
The gathering of extremists in the cradle of American democracy was hardly clandestine. Trump, after all, summoned them. “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” he tweeted on 19 December. “Be there, will be wild!”
On 1 January he tweeted: “The BIG Protest Rally in Washington, D.C. will take place at 11:00 A.M. on January 6th. Locational details to follow. StopTheSteal!”
Thousands responded, young and old, travelling from across the US to form a river of people in downtown Washington. Many were ordinary people who believe baseless claims about electoral fraud. Others were rightwing social media celebrities and members of quasi-militia groups.
Between 2,000 and 2,500 were members of the Proud Boys, according to Enrique Tarrio, a leader of the violent group that has repeatedly clashed with leftwing activists. Tarrio was arrested on Monday, two days before the riot, for the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner during a pro-Trump rally in Washington last month.
While Congress prepared to declare Biden the winner on Wednesday, Trump urged his agitated supporters to march from the White House along the national mall to the Capitol to “save our democracy”.
Go “peacefully and patriotically”, he told the crowd. And then mayhem erupted.
A minority of the crowd, perhaps several hundred, brushed past a meagre police presence and stormed into the marbled halls of Congress. Senators and staffers fled while the invaders roamed and ransacked the republic’s inner sanctum.
Why security was so feeble and unprepared is unclear – an extraordinary lapse – but there is little mystery about Trump’s raiders. Since his election in 2016, white supremacists and other militants have staged protests-cum-riots, notably in Michigan, and advertised their activities on social media.
Since Trump’s defeat in last November’s election the protests have multiplied and intensified in places such as Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Washington state.
Some groups planned the Washington DC rally on Facebook. Others used more freewheeling social media platforms such as Parler and Gab popular with the right. A repurposed quote from the thinker Thomas Sowell foreshadowed what was to come: “If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilisation, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” Others on the platforms vowed to occupy the Capitol and posted pictures of guns they planned to bring.
Before and during the mayhem Gab and Parler were reportedly used to share tips on routes to avoid police, and the best tools to pry open doors.
Some users posted pictures of guns carried into the Capitol. A mob chased a lone black police officer up the stairs. Others seemed content to take selfies as they roamed the corridors and offices.
Anthime “Tim” Gionet, a libertarian-turned neo-Nazi conspiracist better known as Baked Alaska, livestreamed the tumult and occupied the office of the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
Jake Angeli, an actor and voiceover artist from Arizona who goes by the name QAnon Shaman, cut a surreal sight with a horned hat, a painted face and a bare, tattooed chest.
A regular sight at protests, he takes his adopted name from QAnon, a baseless internet conspiracy theory that has festered on the far-right fringe for years and mushroomed during the coronavirus pandemic and Trump’s efforts to overturn the election.
A woman shot and killed by police during the storming of the Capitol was named as Ashli Babbitt, 35, a Trump-supporting air force veteran who had travelled from San Diego. Three other people died from “medical emergencies” during the siege.
Inciting the crowd outside was Ali Alexander, a rightwing troll formerly known as Ali Akbar who is a prominent voice in the Stop the Steal movement. He led chants of “victory or death”.
The US was astonished last May when armed anti-lockdown protesters tried to enter the legislative chamber of Michigan’s state capitol. “These are very good people,” Trump said.
Storming a chamber of democracy seemed a shocking breach of political norms, a freak one-off. But it was just a warm-up.
That will fall on deaf ears.
You're talking to people who thought Collin Kapernick should be thrown out of the country because he *gasp* knelt during the National Anthem. But refer to domestic terrorist who stormed the capital and tried to overturn a lawful election because they didn't like the results as "patriots".

Fake News Site in Feud with Capitol Rioter
Originally posted by Adam_PoE
Popular far-right website The Gateway Pundit, which played a key role in pushing January 6 "false flag" conspiracy theories, has found an unlikely new enemy in Capitol rioter Tim "Baked Alaska" Gionet. The intra-right-wing drama hit its ugly lows with Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft accusing Gionet of being a "fed," and the far-right streamer's allies calling Hoft a pedophile.
And the feud recently reached a climax when a lawyer representing The Gateway Pundit allegedly sent an email threatening a lawsuit against a far-right podcaster who welcomed Gionet onto his show to respond to allegations that he is a federal agent.
In December 2021, Hoft, who has been repeatedly dubbed "the dumbest man on the Internet," published an article claiming Gionet, an ally of white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes and his "groyper army," is an undercover federal agent who deliberately sought to incite violence at the Capitol to frame then-President Donald Trump and his allies.
Rioter Killed Someone While Drunk Driving
The Missouri woman accused in a fatal drunk driving crash has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for entering the Capitol building on January 6. Emily Hernandez, 22, was seen in pictures and on video grinning widely while holding a fragment of a sign appearing to identify the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on January 6. Hernandez faces a maximum one year in prison and $100,000 fine for her guilty plea in her January 6 case.
According to Missouri Highway Patrol, Hernandez was driving west in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 44 just after 7:00 p.m. when she crashed into a car heading east. Victoria Wilson, 32, was a passenger in the car; her husband, Ryan Wilson, 36, was driving. Victoria was killed; Ryan was seriously injured and taken to a hospital. Hernandez was also seriously injured and taken to a hospital, the report says.
Here's a picture of the domestic terrorist smiling with her trophy on Jan 6th: https://www.kansascity.com/latest-news/nhw0t0/picture248548915/alternates/LANDSCAPE_1140/Hernandez.jpg
Her drunk driving vehicular homicide can net her up to 15years in MO. She'll face other charges for the grievous injury to her victim that survived.
Riot Suspect Jailed After DUI Arrest, Found with AR-15
A federal judge has ordered a North Carolina man charged with being among the first to assault police at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 back to jail after he was found allegedly driving while intoxicated with a cache of ammunition and an AR-15 in his car.
James Tate Grant, 29, was arrested in October and charged with storming the Capitol as hundreds of Donald Trump supporters overran police and breached the building in an effort to stop the certification of Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election.
According to the conditions of his pretrial release, Grant was not allowed to violate any state or federal laws. He also could not possess a firearm and had to submit to regular drug testing. In addition to the DWI charge, Grant tested positive for amphetamines in October and November, according to the pretrial violation report.

Utah Officer of the Year Guilty in Capitol Riot
A Utah cop who was once named Salt Lake City's "Officer of the Year" has pleaded guilty to storming the Capitol on January 6.
Michael Lee Hardin joined the hundreds of Donald Trump supporters who overran police and breached the Capitol building in an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election.
Like so many other January 6 defendants, Hardin appears to have been done in by multiple anonymous FBI informants who knew him personally.
"We stormed the Capitol, I am in here now!" he texted. "I know you don't like Trump, but He is the rightful President!" he added.
Video Surfaces of Cop Arrested in Capitol Riot Beating Black Man
Videos of Apopka police officers pulling a black man from his car before hitting and stunning him in his driveway in November 2019 resurfaced on social media this week, soon after the man filed a lawsuit against the city.
The officer who used a taser on the man and wrote his arrest report, Nathaniel Tuck, resigned from the agency last year after he was arrested on charges that he participated in the U.S. Capitol riot.
Several cellphone videos showing the November 28, 2019 arrest of Jason Friend were posted to TikTok in the last week, showing several officers surrounding Friend's vehicle before dragging him out and punching him repeatedly in the head before using a taser on him.
Tuck's father, also a now-former Florida cop, was also charged in the Capitol riot.
