    The woman, referred to as “Witness 1” in an FBI affidavit, previously recalled how a bit of “comically minimal ego-stroking” on her part led to Taake and other Jan. 6 participants giving up information about their activities during that attack.

    “I felt a bit of ‘civic duty,’ I guess, but truthfully, I was mostly just mad and thinking, ‘F— these guys,’” the woman, who spoke anonymously for fear of online reprisal, said. The men wanted to “regurgitate” the lies they heard from prominent Republicans about the 2020 presidential election, she said.

    That woman is an American hero.

    Any dipshits involved in Jan 6 should be treated as 9/11 criminals. As they are.

            Uh… none of that was “pretentious” nor “verbose” but okay. Humor and quip sails above your level of intelligence, I see. How dare I answer your question for clarification, I guess. Pardon me.

            Ah well, that’s why this button exists :)

              Oh, apologies for not ascending to the lofty heights of your humor. We mere mortals sometimes need a moment to appreciate such esoteric wit.

    So. I’m going to assume she (or at least her avatar,) wasn’t as ugly as I am.

    Either way. I applaud her efforts, and hope she stays safe.
