WASHINGTON — The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Brian Cole Jr., 30, is cooperating with the FBI, NBC News has reported, citing a separate person familiar with the matter. Cole is expected to make his first court appearance on Friday. He was charged Thursday with leaving pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee in the hours before Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

    Yeah. He figured out, even before pb, that the 020 election absolutely was rigged. They are no longer "conspiracy theories." In fact, to deny is now what's wacko.

    Sure - it has to be real because some nutjob who likes to make bombs says so.

    And people wonder why MAGAts are considered insane by most people.

    Neighbors and family members described Brian Cole Jr, 30, as "naive" and a "quiet guy" who often walked a chihuahua in their Washington DC suburb. He also told investigators he thought the 2020 election was "rigged", US media reports say.

    HtS is Brian Cole without the DYI skills.

    pb suspected the truth in the numbers but he became convinced when the huuuuuuge turnout for Cackles became became a mirage.

    Brian Cole is a typical example of the Trump-supporting "Manosphere": a 30 year old who lives with his mother.

    First, Biden granted pardons and commutations to more than 8,000 individuals, which is more than any other modern president. Thousands of Biden's clemency grants were to serious criminals, including murderers, child killers, child abusers, and the biggest municipal embezzler in history, Rita Crundwell. Several of the grants benefitted well-connected Democrats. In both 2022 and 2024, Biden abused his pardon power to achieve mass sentencing reductions that Congress refused to pass by law. President Obama did the same thing when he issued mass commutations of drug sentences.

    President Biden needs to pardon his family, officials, and allies only because he fears the very lawfare that he invented. Biden's DOJ broke more than two centuries of history to prosecute a former president and the candidate of the major opposition political party.

    Because of his stated fear of retaliation, Biden pardoned his family and associates before prosecutors ever launched investigations. These pardons were to Biden's own benefit, as their reciipients are much less likely to disclose any information that directly implicate President Biden to the family's alleged "pay to play, 10 percent for the Big Guy" schemes.

    I call it like it is. Other than your age, how are you not typical of Manosphere? They hate what you hate.

    Members of the manosphere spread myths, pseudoscience and lies based on gender.

    Manosphere subsets:
    Involuntary celibates (incels): believe that men are entitled to sex, and women purposefully deprive them of it. Extremist incel culture promotes rape and assault and brings together other ideologies, including racism and homophobia. Incels have been linked to acts of mass violence.

    Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs): often take an academic tone to claim that feminism and women’s rights – to vote, to education, to leadership positions – have disadvantaged men. MRA preachers suggest society is gynocentric, that is, dominated by feminine interests.

    Red pill ideology, or to be redpilled: means to wake up to a reality that the world favors women over men. In reference to the movie The Matrix, it suggests that people who disagree have taken the blue pill.

    I find it funny you can't find one citation for that bullshit. The other thing is I am the one continually calling you out for your support of rape and human trafficking, which you've never disavowed. If you had ANY sense that rape was even "almost" wrong, you would have said it by now. Lakin Riley? You supported the asshole that raped and murdered her. Her murder was inhumane. He beat her until they had to have DNA to figure out who the fuck she was. You're the fucking asshole here. You're like the rest of the libtards that support illegal entry into the US regardless of the cost to society.

    I'm sure your "wife" is just a replacement for your mommy. Do you let the illegals from Haiti come to your house to treat your wife to a "real man?" Because no reasonable woman would EVER pick such a vile human being to actually have her children🤔...

    HtS, OD,
    Do you both identify with the Manosphere? Or perhaps merely admirers or supporters of the Manosphere?

  11. by Indy! on December 5, 2025 1:26 pm

    That's 2 Kamala mentions today by Brown "I miss her so much" Shorts. Probably more though - I'm not checking every thread.

  12. by HatetheSwamp on December 5, 2025 1:31 pm

    I've said numerous times that imo to call these people the Manosphere is the equivalent of calling African Americans n!gg€rs.

    But, no. I'm not an admire nor a supporter of the Red Pill movement. It's ant-Christian, as I understand it.

    On t'other hand, I hate the way you woke brainlessly demean them.

  13. by Donna on December 5, 2025 1:45 pm

    Chris Hedges, book author and former award-winning war reporter fkr the NYTimes, calls the manosphere you guys are discussing "hypermasculinity". I've read five of his books. Got the following from AI:

    Chris Hedges frequently writes and speaks about hypermasculinity, identifying it as a destructive cultural force intrinsically linked to militarism, Christian fundamentalism, fascism, and sadism within American society.

    Key aspects of his views on hypermasculinity include:

    War Culture and Sadism: Hedges argues that war celebrates hypermasculinity, which elevates the "callous, the numb, the hard, and the strong" and banishes compassion. This mindset, defined by sadism and the dehumanization of others, runs through American culture, from reality television and pornography to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lack of social compassion for the poor and the mentally ill.

    Militarism and "Manhood": He suggests that a national obsession with linking manhood to martial valor encourages young men to join the military as a rite of passage. These men, seeking the status of "real men," often return home wounded or disillusioned when that promised honor and glory do not materialize in civilian life.

    Christian Right and Male Dominance: In his book American Fascists, Hedges describes how the Christian right preaches male dominance. He explains that this "hypermasculinity" is a way for men to compensate for their own loss of independence in a male-dominated authoritarian church, ultimately crushing the independence and self-expression of women.

    Fascism and Chauvinism: Hedges sees hypermasculinity as a core component of an emerging American fascism, alongside chauvinism, a perverted Christianity, and violent retribution. He links it to a "grotesque hypermasculinity" that venerates a "gun culture" and the "blind adoration of the military".

    Political Expression: Hedges connects the celebration of hypermasculinity, violence, and chauvinism to a deep well of despair and rage among segments of the population, which finds expression in movements like nativism, neofascism, and the Christian right.

    Critique of Activist Tactics: Hedges has controversially applied this critique to activist circles, notably the Occupy movement, where he accused "Black Bloc" tactics of being a "cancer" due to their "hypermasculine" and criminal behavior, a charge that drew sharp criticism from anarchists and other activists who viewed the characterization as an attempt to divide the movement.

    Overall, Hedges views hypermasculinity not just as an individual trait, but as a systemic and cultural pathology that fuels violence, war, and the decline of a compassionate, open society.



  14. by HatetheSwamp on December 5, 2025 2:04 pm

    "...a destructive cultural force intrinsically linked to militarism, Christian fundamentalism, fascism, and sadism within American society."

    For all I know, he may be bang on about hypermasculinity.

    But, "intrinsically linked to militarism, Christian fundamentalism, fascism, and sadism...?"

    The Red Pill has none of any of that. There's very, very little that's political in what I have come across. And, virtually no religion at all. In fact, I study it as an entirely secular reaction to the woke feminization of western culture.

    I noted that I am not sure that the SSM guy votes. I know for certain that he didn't mention the 024 election in any of his videos.


    Donna,

    I suspect that your TQ lot is in deep $#!t if there's anything at all to the Hedges stuff... because the broad men's movement that includes The Red Pill is attracting Millennial and Gen Z men by the gazillions... and it, too, loathes what you stand for. BTW, it's very tolerant of LGBs. But, TQs? Not that I can tell.

    Did you watch the video I posted? Perhaps you better.

  15. by Donna on December 5, 2025 2:16 pm

    I don't concern myself with any of that. I work with a lot of young people and I get along splendidly with them.

    "A life lived in fear is a life not lived"




  16. by HatetheSwamp on December 5, 2025 2:23 pm

    Good for you, Donna. My sense is that life has passed you TQs by. Fortunately, we're old enough that we probably won't see what's coming, but the pushback against woke seems to me to be growing.

  17. by Indy! on December 5, 2025 2:32 pm

    Then you're in trouble, Woke Boy.

  18. by Donna on December 5, 2025 3:03 pm

    There once was the same pushback against LGB people, and it wasn't all that long ago. Conservatives just take longer to change with the times.


  19. by Donna on December 5, 2025 3:07 pm

    Not 8000, olde dude. You made up that figure, didn't you?

    From AI:

    Key Details on Biden's Pardons & Clemency:

    Total Clemency: Biden granted over 4,200 acts of clemency, mostly commutations (reducing sentences) rather than pardons (forgiving offenses).

    Pardon Count: He issued around 80 pardons by the end of his term, a number lower than many presidents but part of a larger push.

    Drug Offenses: Many pardons and commutations targeted individuals with non-violent drug offenses, a key initiative.

    Controversial Pardons: In his final days, he issued controversial pardons, including some preemptive ones for figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, which drew significant media attention, including from CNN.

    First, it's very apparent that anything I post will not be read. If you want to, fine. Not my life, and I don't actually give a fuck if you do or don't.

    cunt- b>Do you both identify with the Manosphere? Or perhaps merely admirers or supporters of the Manosphere?<

    First, I'm not on any other social media platforme, dikead.

    Involuntary celibates (incels): believe that men are entitled to sex, and women purposefully deprive them of it. Extremist incel culture promotes rape and assault and brings together other ideologies, including racism and homophobia. Incels have been linked to acts of mass violence.
    No, No, No. No.etc. I find it funny (again) That one of my shooting partners was a female sniper. I routinely lost on long range (1000+ metres). Of course, her gun was actually built for her by master gunsmiths at the factory, so there's that.

    concha could never understand it was about going out with people you don't insult every time you open your trap. It never bothered me, although concha had a fucking field day on it. He was laughing because "you got beat by a "girl." (which isn't true. I got beat by a very well-trained woman and a great human being. concha never got saw that. At all.

    concha (and navy) and racism. We'll go back to "If it isn't "english" it's not 'merican that concha actually doubled down on. 'nuff said.

    Your Manospheres are you, concha, navy, and wrongagain. The last three have never mentioned having anyone that will have sex more than once with them. Maybe it's the STDs, their breath, or their lack of hygiene.

    And I've already mentioned your propensity to get your "wife/mistress" a"real men." There must be a whole lot of rage when I mention that.... Are you ready to go out and rape those in slavery? Does that make you feel insufficient? How about when you are forced to watch her? And then have to do demeaning acts to show that she and "her bull is better than you.

    So without a doubt, the closest to "Manospheres" on this site are you, concha, navy, and wrongagain. Both concha and navy have mentioned how they're so tough because they were rude to other people. One was concha's dad, and navy was extremely rude to a female "friend" of his. How she puts up with his bullshit is beyond me.

    What IS interesting is that I posted what a "real man" is, and none of it is mentioned in this, which is about correct. And of course, everyone forgot about it because you're threatened by what a real man is. FYSA, I re-cited it so you can see just how fucked up y'all are.

    For one. you make no difference in my life and are less in concha in my "respect" for you. Trust me concha is about a minus 10. you want to play this game? I can play harder and faster than you ever thought of. YOU have days in your life you get to think. I have milliseconds. That's how I've learned. And this is things you've never thought of. Do you kill the woman? It sounds like you wish you did. Honestly, I can go over the whole fucking list for you. If you want that. Let's start with you feeling weak and out of control. You're a princess bitch to your Mistress. I don't give a shit about that. Honestly, I don't care. What I care about is your repeatedly dodge the question about the question. You won't answer that. It would be a whole lot easier and I'd quit fucking with you about it if you just fessed up. I'm cool, you just need to quit objectifying others. concha does it, but that's about trust. It's been dealt with harshly

    The "Your Tango" website (probably written by robots) list of things "men with actual integrity won't tolerate" is a list of EVERY FREAKIN' HABIT THE GOP, MAGAts and T RUMP EXHIBIT EVERY DAY!

    1. Disrespect in any form - Your Daddy, T rump referring to reporters as "piggy"

    2. Lies and deception - Fox "News"

    3. Control, coercion, and manipulation - T rump demanding fealty from all his appointees

    4. Disloyalty - Odorous, Brown Shorts, et al disregarding the Constitution at every turn

    5. Lack of accountability - the J6 pardons

    6. Not setting boundaries - Your Daddy saying he could "so anything to women - even grab their pussies"

    7. Pretending to be someone they’re not - T rump acting like he's "the best" at everything, Odorous claiming to be an "expert" on every issue that comes up on the board.

    8. Hypocrisy - Odorous posting this article and expecting us to believe he abides by ANY of these rules 😂

    9. Dishonoring commitments - Odorous (claiming to be) in the military, then turning around and acting like it's okay for the military to murder SUSPECTED drug traffickers

    10. Chronic negativity or toxic energy - T rump's normal, everyday personality

    11. Entitlement - every low rent Fox talking head T rump nominated to positions they have no skill set to perform.

  30. by Indy! on December 6, 2025 9:21 am

    I just looked at the other site - it's even funnier that OD believes this is who he and his party are. Won't do them all - but I have to do #1...

    1. Emotional Maturity - Right. That's why Odie and Brown Shorts elected the world's biggest baby to be pResident of the U.S... TWICE! 🤣

  31. by Curt_Anderson on December 6, 2025 10:01 am
    Indy,
    "Accountability" is another kneeslapper! Trump NEVER takes responsibility. For example, Trump is still blaming Biden for grocery prices which are higher today than they were when Trump was elected a year ago.

  32. by HatetheSwamp on December 6, 2025 10:06 am

    "...elected the world's biggest baby to be pResident of the U.S... TWICE..."

    Bahahahahahahahahahaha haha ha, ah.

    Yinzies, with the conspiracies. To steal the nomination from Bennie in 016. Then to foist the Day Drinker on voters last year...

    ...engineered the election of the OrangeTurd, against the best interests of the nation.

    Twice. Boohoo hoo hoo, hoo, oy.

    Thanksalot!

  33. by oldedude on December 6, 2025 10:15 am
    All I do is to use these for myself. Done. I'm not responsible for other peoples' actions. It really is that simple. I do think it's interesting though, that the hate posts were almost instantaneous. I don't give anyone a rent-free thought that takes up what I'm up to.

  34. by meagain on December 7, 2025 2:06 pm
    "but the pushback against woke seems to me to be growing." HtS.

    The pushback against "Woke" began 50 years ago with the Powell Memo and the Billionaires got together to fund the propaganda and political action that turned America into the most unequal country in the advanced world, when America began its slide down from the economic prosperity of the masses and the lowering of its position of leadership in freedom and happiness rankings. And, when the gun madness began and the the position of women deteriorated.

  35. by Donna on December 7, 2025 2:50 pm

    "donna, again you're in the weeds, the rest are in the grand scope. The number is 4,245 acts. SFU." - olde dude

    I know. But you said "more than 8,000 individuals".

    Perhaps if you had used an actual source, you wouldn't have made such a gross error.

    "SFU"? Really? This is how a real man conducts himself? Why did I deserve that?

    You have serious anger issues, guy.
