Jake Lang, a pardoned January 6 rioter, posted a video of himself kicking down the sculpture at Minnesota’s capitol
The far-right influencer and US Senate candidate Jake Lang has been arrested after recording himself damaging an anti-ICE sculpture at Minnesota’s capitol amid the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s crackdown there.
On 5 February, Lang, who received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump over his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol, posted a video on X of himself kicking down the sculpture, which was made from ice – as in, frozen water. His efforts changed it from reading “Prosecute ICE” to “Pro ICE”, referring to the federal agency.
Local authorities arrested Lang that same day and jailed the Florida resident on suspicion of criminal damage to property, which is classified as a felony.

You'll note the violence is 1) coming from out of state. and 2) coming from GOP fuck faces who can't string together 3 syllables in a coherent manner.
Wish he'd go back to his swamp, but I get why the other trolls kicked him out.

Almost like they’re paid agitators, right? Sounds familiar, right?!
Every accusation is a confession.

Well they are told they will get paid.

Always get paid up front. In cash. Specifically a hard currency like Canadians dollars (because you probably can’t offload that before they tank the economy for spite.)

This advice is not needed when you are working for your cult leader, a man you trust with your life.

Well, I feel like it is. But maybe we should start with “you’re in a cult and they will fuck you and take the shirt off your back”
But details.

Ah yes the Shrek adaptation where it's an allegory for meth abuse. Seriously everything in this is uncanny as fuck.

A photograph of said coward when the citizenry caught up with him.

That infidel patch is so funny while he is out there crying and pissing himself.

Did you see the video interview with the trans-woman who saved him?

The video itself is fairly hilarious considering he posted it himself. I honestly thought it was an ai video made to make him look bad/troll him at first. From him stumbling over the blocks, to the babg like squeaks and grunts he makes while doing it, he comes off as soft as a wet dog turd.

These are not…competent people. In fact, until we get our collective shit together and start pushing back as a nation, our only hope is that they are ultimately too fucking stupid to fascism.
While they are spectacularly moronic, and predictably childish and incompetent, we need a better strategy than hoping they will defeat themselves.
But boy are they fucking dumb. It would be hilarious if actual civilization weren’t at stake.

You're right, it would be alit funnier if it weren't so depressing. I'm so tired of having our society run by the dumbest and most hateful people.😒
