I've only seen the one of the former and none of the latter (but was aware it happened).

It's different angles of the same two flag ripping incidents but it leaves no room for the Trumpets to defend it.

There's at least two videos where the cops drag the barriers away.

And there's about 17 videos where these "patriots" rip down the US flag and replace it with a Trump flag so I very much look forward to the FBI curb stomping those guys later.
You really believe a single one of these traitors will face prosecution? Honestly, I'm impressed at your remaining faith in the system.

I think posting yourself in Nancy Pelosi's office and stealing her stuff might get the police on you. Let's just say the police might protect the privilege but if someone more privileged then them is targetted the police will definitely be on the side of the bigger fish.

There is an out-group whom the law binds but does not protect, and an in-group whom the law protects but does not bind, and we all know which one they are.

Normally I would agree, but what you're forgetting is that members of Congress is the ultimate in-group. They were forced to flee from a mob, Congresspeople don't like fleeing from mobs. The FBI or DoJ or whoever is going to have to take some scalps just to mollify the members of Congress who pooped themselves when they had to run away. That guy who stole the podium, or the guy who took a picture of Nancy Pelosi's emails, somebody is going to do time for this. You can only piss off so many members of Congress before it becomes your problem.

Now, how widespread and serious the prosecutions are, that's going to be interesting. A state's reaction to right wing mobs is typically based on how useful the state thinks those mobs might be. I mentioned the 90s, when the FBI went hard after white supremacist militias. Right wing mobs were of no value to the state at that time. The left had been thoroughly defeated, labor had been completely captured, the biggest vaguely left wing "threats" were the so-called "eco-terrorists" taking videos of slaughterhouses, and the FBI was easily destroying them. So some losers in shacks talking about overthrowing the government were of no use. Whatever, do a Ruby Ridge, who cares.

If, as seems likely, in 2021 we see the left still aimless and unable to come up with a post-Bernie plan, labor utterly destroyed by the spread of Prop 32, and the response to BLM just being "way more cops everywhere and they all have Iron Man suits now but in blue states they have to watch a 15 minute video narrated by Lin Manuel Miranda about intersectionality", then maybe what's the point of using kid gloves on those assholes who trashed the Capitol Building? gently caress them, heads on pikes. Especially if they continue to pull poo poo like that. If they keep storming statehouses and threatening even Republican politicians, they will demonstrate that they are loyal only to Trump and therefore of no use to the rest of the ruling class.

So I think there's good reason to be optimistic about those guys getting prosecuted

Perhaps find solace in the fact that Trump's political career is dead (no way forward for a 2024 bid), that his legacy will forever be "president who fomented treason and sedition", and that threatening congress in such a brazen fashion will place a giant magnifying glass on Q nutters, militias and the Proud Boys.

They will definitely need to get the very visible idiots (especially the Q Shaman), but there is legitimate and righteous anger that Congressional Police weren't loading ATVs full of arrested domestic terrorists the minute they breached the barriers, and that they allowed the crowd to just mill about after curfew instead of doing the Full Press show of force from the summer BLM protests. As much of a systemic failure of security as it was, it's also a very tangible and visible indictment of white privilege at work in our police forces.

Trump will be rehabilitated by the media in less than a decade and all intelligence agencies will continue to focus solely on muslims and leftist groups. There is no "breaking point" for what is currently happening to America. It will not reverse course once people "wake up", it will only accelerate and worsen unless the people who are actually aware of how bad things are force massive change. Disinformation outlets are already convincing millions of Americans that this was a peaceful protest (unlike those BLM violent riots) that was infiltrated by Antifa.

So is this when we post that page of Captain America talking to people in the shattered remains of Washington DC in an America that has collapsed into sectarian violence and he's talking about how after the long decades of destruction they can rebuild starting with the US constitution and then one of them goes, "Dude, we know what the constitution is. You've only been gone five years. It's 2022."

I tried to find the page, but it's impossible to google anything on recentish comics, especially ones with movie connections.

I've tried a few and haven't found any I like. Even the ones that aren't by sucky people are just not enjoyable for me to watch. There's a lot of channels that get no attention at all, though, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's something fun out there.
