Signs Of Military Training Among Rioting Trump Mob Raise Concerns About Capability | Rachel Maddow
A few months ago, Trumpsters chanted “4 more years!”
Now….The world is chanting “4 MORE DAYS!!!!”
@Truth Seeker the irony of your name vs your comment is quite humorous.
If you Actually believe it,,
It’s very sad.
I hope truth finds you though
Already? That pretty much snuck up on us…
@Truth Seeker is drowning in lies🥴
@Truth Seeker 🥴 you call yourself truth seeker🤣😂 I think you should see this sheep https://youtu.be/NsQ2hX_noNw
@Truth Seeker Keep seeking moron🥴
They might have muscle, they might have guns, and they might have numbers,
but they lack the most important thing necessary in order to overthrow a government….
Brains.
@Eva Stapaard technically, you do it with your non dominant hand whatever that may be.
@ozzyphil74 thats right but you cant tell me they were all lefthanded…
@Eva Stapaard Oh no, that was not what I was trying to assert at all. These folk seem to be playing at operators which appears to be a real thing in that community. Even basic service should have taught them that so it appears they didn’t even serve. So, I wasn’t defending their attempts just clarifying the information you provided.
Just stop. They dont have numbers. There are over 250 million voting age Americans. 74 voted for trump. Even on right wing media the highest estimate if those is 77% who beleive trumps steal BS. That brings the highest estimate to 57 million. Which is still only 20%. Get it right. It’s still too many morons: but we’re a country who disdains intelligence.
@ozzyphil74 oh dont worry, I already thought so…. 😀
These soldiers must be arrested as soon as possible.
@Kyle Rogers try reading ffs
@Yeshua Zef haha
@David Aspinall their right hand was wrapped around their 🍄
Hey Wu Jiang…this is not china lol
@Brian L You re right 😂🤣😄😊😉
I hope the Trumpsters know taking on the US military ain’t like shooting a deer
@A Rivera exactly. There will be individual members of the army who side with trump but they will be weeded out or afraid to admit their allegiance
For real. These are wannabes play-acting. They are all using their right hands. Unless they’re ALL left handed, these are MAGAts cosplaying as soldiers.
LOL! america’s military is one of the worst trained in the world. The only reason they don’t die straight away is cause america can afford fancy gadgets for them. They win because of technology, not because of their pathetic training
@Janet Crawford then what about the rest of the worlds military lol.
Depends on the ROE.
Predictably the man parading around with the confederate flag surrendered
@kmlckd the idiots that say that are INSURRECTIONIST trying to take the government over by denying states rights.
It was an inside job you can see it a mile away that everything was planned .
@Sereana Duwai they’ll have video of the traitors showing them INSURRECTIONISTS around the Capitol on the 5th . I’ll bet there’s a dozen from Congress and over 3000 arrests. . Someone tore out emergency buttons.
20 years to the death sentence.
Spineless Racist is what he is!
@grantm : That confederate flag Nancy was just putting himself forward for Trump’s upcoming medal lolly scramble and pardon spree.
Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
@imacmill It reiterates that Trump lies incessantly. Kind of like, hey there is a rattle snake there, watch out.
@Frank Franks “How many people died of the flu last year?” well, did we close down an entire nation to stop that flu from spreading? Nope. Seems your comparison needs some logic.
Daily reminder Trump works for Putin.
@Major Major Again, the whole world knows this already, so what’s the pojnt of useless, non-statements line this? And they’re always upvoted into the hundreds. I say it’s Russian troll crap to increase anger.
That is fake news. Reported.
Show us the faces of the ranger style “Traitor team six” . Half of America will gladly help you ID them.
We already did it was blm
@Eh-lien 1000+ cameras in and around the Capitol.
Give it a minute. Trump will give them a medal or a pardon and then we’ll know.
@Shelley Ross Trump doesn’t pardon losers. Low energy suckers
@David Gutting Like Michael Flynn, Roger Stone and the 3 Blackwater war criminals? Losers all. The only sucker here is you, David.
I don’t understand why they keep using the wrong term for those who attached the congress. They are not rioters. They are terrorists.
@Michael Shigetani someday, Democrats will figure out ‘go high’ doesn’t mean soft language and allowing lies.
Media is having a hard time trying to give everything a name.
Republicans, Democrats and Independents are divided against the Trumpublican Terrorists that attacked our way of life. The problem is …we created them. We have to take care of our ex-military and our working class instead of using them and throwing them away.
Because they have the complexion for the protection against such a term. White privilege
Completely agree. These are your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. And ALL Americans are complicit since they waged their brutal and never-ending war of aggression against the non-Western world over 50 years ago.
Treasonists
They’re a bunch of LARPers. Unless they’re all left handed those are not professionals.
You keep your firing hand free.
@Alix Marx could the picture be mirrored?
@Aaron Donnelly It’s not. Take a look at the beginning of the video in this article. It has a “Blacks for Trump” sign towards the bottom of the crowd. The letters aren’t mirrored and you can see that the guys are almost all using their right hands to hold onto the guy in from of them:

@Alix Marx ah you’re right kk
What if the picture was mirrored?
@Unmasking Evil Then instead of 9 left handed people in one place you have a thousand……
They are all either left handed or have their trigger fingers in the wrong place lmao
noticed that too…even if they were not carrying a weapon I would think just muscle memory would take over.
This was cosplay.
Need to be careful not to promote some kind of legitimacy to this riot or planned actions….will others join if they see on news that supposed trained former military vets operating as a unit are on their side? Beu of the 5th column discusses this in his podcast. Biden and all of us have alot of work to do. It all starts in our local community!
.
@Matt Fairchild I came here to say the exact same thing. I also watch Beau of the fifth column.
Besides, elementary school children know this technique.
They’re holding each other by the right hand. You stack up with your off hand. There’s no way they’re all magically left handed. They’re hicks playing soldier. They aren’t soldiers.
They can’t even support democracy in the USA. Just image what they did in Iraq?
These are wannabes play-acting. They are all using their right hands. Unless they’re ALL left handed, these are MAGAts cosplaying as soldiers.
@BSinNYC yup bang on. Bunch of grown men playing like kids.
Hope Mike Pence is not too dumb to realise he’s lucky to be alive.
@Dench2020 + That fly was a bad sign !!!
(Hummm) pow…
@Roman Ward Give it up moron 🥴
@Roman Ward Hundred to one odds that none of you Trump people would even know what you were looking at even if a Dominion machine were disassembled right in front of you. Don’t feel bad. Most people myself included wouldn’t know either. People shouldn’t be so quick to act on such flimsy evidence from people like Melissa Carone ect. They might be setting themselves up for a lifetime of regret.
@Roman Ward You can parrot delusions over and over if you want, but they’ll still be delusions.
They’re using the wrong hand for a stack
Yes but thats not important to report on it. LOL
They were lucky to get that far because of the amount of people and how few police was there.
If you think that’s military training – they have all failed their test.
Shhh.. the general public doesn’t know that.
They are all left handed 🤣
@Karin Reck maybe they got the same that trained the girls I bring it on. Maybe they learnt jazz hands to
Unless those guys are all left handed, their training was deficient.
Yep, at least in that picture they’re imitating a movie they’ve seen and don’t understand why they’re doing what they’re doing…
Everyone was warned that he was building an army. Trump was inciting an insurrection for months.
Lies
Dressing-up like an Army man doth not a soldier make.
@john hopkins many of them were soldiers.
@Manuel “were”… Daesh fanatics of Sharia Law, in the United States, also refer to themselves as “soldiers”
That is a really, really special “ranger file formation” – they’re all left handed! Either that or they aren’t really that well trained. I wonder which is more likely.
Trump only made things worse. Just like he turned his dads $500,000,000 loan into 1.4Bn debt. 😔
“Highly trained” my freshman ROTC class looks more professional.
