I guess this community doesn't like links to the likes of blogs for top-level stories, but I'll put this link here. Wonkette is actually very good at pulling together lots of relevant links and so on. I happen to loooove the snarky commentary they use as well, although I realize that's not everyone's cuppa.

Babbitt, 35, was ~~an Air Force veteran~~ a domestic terrorist who was ~~fatally shot~~ heroically stopped by Capitol police while ~~protesting~~ participating in a violent seige of the capital insighted by Donald Trump the felon, and child rapist, after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
The media needs to stop sugar coating the events of Jan. 6.
They gotta deep throat the fascist regime so that they keep getting invited to the press events and thus keep making those shiny dollars.
Yes, it is pathetic.
Fr, I’ve told people she fafo but they were like “you could see she’s unarmed” and I was like “dude, someone’s breaking through a window and climbing through and all we know what if she had weapons in her bagyou gonna take your chances”….”yes”
Istg I’m getting dumber with these people feeding on my intelligence to pull me down to their IQ levellol
Go ahead. She still died gurgling through a hole in her neck. Surrounded by a bunch of neckbeard traitors filming her for internet points.
That's all I care about.
This only shames the military, which I'm also alright with.
So, a terrorist.
After attacking the capitol, in direct violation of the oath she swore to defend the country and constitution, what she should be given is a posthumous dishonorable discharge. This is fucking disgusting.
Haven't they already buried this bitch? She's been dead for nearly half a decade.
They really going to dig her up and give her another funeral or something?
This country is chock full of performative fucking idiots.
Let them have their grotesque parade. It's all being recorded for history.
Traitor
So, what? Are they going to exhume her traitor ass and then rebury it? Or did her traitor family just keep her traitor carcass on ice for the last 4 years? Either way, fucking disgusting.
Just build a memorial outhouse over the grave.
Nothing means anything anymore
Exactly. The convicted felon in the WH pardoned all of the Jan 6 terrorists, oops, I mean, "rioters".
And now this.
Not even rioters, “protesters”
"tourists" 😔
Whoever wrote that headline probably thought they were being "fair" to call them "rioters". I mean, insurrectionist is the compromise, but terrorist is far more appropriate.
Terrorism: The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.
This is EXACTLY what these "protesters" were up to.
I think it started a few decades ago. My stepdad insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery.
He was stationed in Germany during the army and loved it. He only had good or fun stories to tell about his time in the military in the early 1960s.
He met a conservative German woman, brought her home, married her. Kinda learned to think Hitler wasn’t all bad through her and her family. He got a job because of his military service, which paid him well and gave him a pension when he retired.
He loved Trump, starting with the birther conspiracies and carrying through The Apprentice. I’ve never seen him happier than when Trump won.
He insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery because of his 4 years of international vacation fixing trucks.

Meanwhile, the previous generation of my own family lived through the Great Depression and fought in world war 2, and they’re buried with their families.
It’s a different kind of stolen valor.
It never did when people give up on the concept of truth that is independent of individual experience.
What?
What I meant to say is that fascism is fundamentally dependent on rejecting a 'global' reality we all agree to and asserting its own version of reality, which isnt subject to external validation.
Ok gotcha, thank you
Fucking dog whistle bullshit.
Dig her up in 4 years.
I know there's been a lot of talk of 'peasant mindset' lately, but can we not do a new corpse synod?
No, Chuck her into the Potomac.
I'll settle for head on a pike. So I can look up into her lifeless eyes and wave, like this:
I've been wary of posting this exact line myself about unfortunately still alive people. I guess there's less potential for trouble when it's a dead insurrectionist.
Nice B5 reference.
They should also write a heroic ballad about her to the tune of the Horst Wessel Lied and make it the official anthem of the Republican Party.
That casket is going to smell like piss.
Up is down. Down is up.
Don't look up!
Can't EO that woman back to life though.
Did she accept?
New gender neutral restroom unlocked.
This is exactly the thing that this dictatorship would do to cause as much pain and distress as possible.
Where's Fred Phelps when you really need him?
More like her need to drop dead
@CharlesDarwin #ConvictedFelonTrump is exhibiting a lot of behavior that can not be considered rational! #25thAmendment time! #Politics
