today is the 5th anniversary of me being "outed" as the QAnon Shaman. by far the most hilarious thing that's happened to me in 20 years of Far Right watching.

Proud Boys’ Enrique Tarrio joins Jan 6 supporters in DC. One says they were “chosen by God” on J6 to lead a “war against evil.”
As they march to the Capitol, a woman stands nearby shouting: “Traitors! Terrorists!”
Bystanders also chant of “Nazis” and “Obama!” J6 supporters chant back “USA!”

An interesting thing I've noticed in Oregon GOP politics is that there's been a real reluctance to publicly embrace Trump's aggressive revisionism around J6. It's not like OR GOPers will condemn the events of that day, they just generally don't want to talk about it publicly.

Umm, the 200 National Guard troops were never actually activated in Portland, thanks to a judge's ruling. Crime here was never what they said it was, and it was unaffected by this idiotic show of force. Just as it was before, Portland remains a great place to live. So fuck you, 'Mr. President'.
Q: You pulled the National Guard out of Portland--
TRUMP: We did. And do you know that Portland, we got it down to almost no crime? We're allowed to go back in, but we'll go back in when the crime starts. We may use the Insurrection Act

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.
