6. Oh my god..

I don't know what to say...I don't know whether to laugh hysterically or throw something. How can people take them seriously?

Thank you all for educating me!

7. And BTW, the guy that was under that tarp is now strogly rumored to be dead after...

...the FBI began rounding these guys up after sunset tonight.

Roundups are still ongoing, with Ritzheimer reporting on his FB page that he has been arrested.

10. Michele Fiore has identified the body as Finicum's

11. And if SHE'S on your side

Then you know for a fact that you're on the wrong team. Even the rest of the Nevada Republicans want to minimize her presence as much as possible.

12. She's there at the standoff?

Or in Burns?

DoJ ought o have a look into her background.

16. Several non-Oregon western teabagger legislators have been there

The infamous Matt Shea (TP-Spokane Valley, WA) has been there several times. There's another TP legislator from western Washington that goes down there too.

Bonner County, Idaho's equally-crazy but not-equally-well-known Heather Scott has also visited the standoff.

Fiore's been. IIRC Raul Labrador (the TP US Representative from northern Idaho) has been at least once.

17. There's been quite the parade

I hadn't heard about her and I guess I was surprised, for no reason, that she was there when this went down.

20. He seems like one to turn state's evidence.

He was moping on twitter about his wife and kids and needing a lawyer before he even turned himself in. He'll sell all his buddies out to shorten his stay in club fed, just watch.

14. I'm oddly sad. I watched that whole thing go down and it was so strange.

You couldn't get better performance art. For the moment I'll set judgment aside and say "Tarp Man, we hardly knew ye."

15. Wasn't he the one who fucked up the Cubs chance of winning a World Series a few years ago?
