Pro-Trump Mob Erected A Literal Gallows Before Chanting 'Hang Mike Pence' In Alarming Video

In the wake of last week's siege of the Capitol building by Trump supporting insurrectionists, more and more disturbing clips and videos have emerged.

One viral video on Twitter showed just how close the entire incident was to becoming a true horror.


In the film, the rioters tried to push their way into the Capitol building while angrily chanting "Hang Mike Pence."

Although some might be tempted to dismiss the chant as "joking," it was harder to deny the rioters' sincerity when pictures emerged of a gallows erected outside the capitol.


Those images, coupled with pictures of rioters inside the Capitol building with zip ties and weapons, made it clear there were members of the crowd with very dark intentions.



President Trump and his administration actively inspired this violence.


Seeing gallows erected outside the U.S. Capitol certainly demonstrates how fragile democracy can be if it isn't accorded the proper respect from both sides of the political aisle.



Twitter was shocked and enraged at the violent intentions of the insurrectionists.


Last Wednesday's display was unprecedented in American history.


Americans must be careful to remember the incitement that lead to this dangerous chapter for our country and avoid it in the future at all costs.

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
