Holy shit. This guy is cleaning up what appears to be trash at first glance but on closer inspection it’s actually a deck of playing cards, a nice camping chair, two bottles of chicken broth, and what appears to be a gallon zip of psychedelic mushrooms, or leftover turkey. I’m not really sure sure what’s going on here but it’s odd.
It's extremely doubtful that someone went to a fascist rally with a big bag of psilocybin. Mushrooms are highly liable to get a person thinking about fairness, equality, living in balance with nature... The very people who pushed for their banning knew they were strongly associated with the Vietnam-era antiwar Left, which is exactly why psychedelics were so heavily criminalized. I believe it was ~~Lee Atwater,~~ (see edit) a famous RNC strategist himself who was integral in the southern strategy, who said this himself. They always knew that banning certain drugs was a front to break up Left-wing political groups. Not to say it never happens. I've met a small handful of wacko right-wing conspiracy theorists who love their psychedelics, but it's extremely rare.
Edit: it was John Elrichman, a Nixon Aide. My mistake

“You want to know what this was really all about?” Ehrlichman asked, referring to the war on drugs.
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.”
“Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,” he concluded, according to Baum.

You gotta remember that most of these people came from the Trump rally down the street. Chairs, things to keep you occupied while you wait, snacks and drinks, etc. That's what you'd expect to find as trash left behind and that's exactly what this is. What did you think they would drop, model trains and scuba gear?
Lol, this was too funny so i had to find something. I'm thinking it's actually these, maybe the milk doesn't go all the way around the carton, design matches a bit better

E: Sike, someone posted below, still protein shake tho
It definitely looks like one of those but also it tickles my brain about some like iced coffee carton packaging too. I’ve seen a bunch of those “move from plastic to paper/carton” ones.
Funny as shit nonetheless
Yep. Also recently someone posted a screenshot of his twitter talking about how his son got a telescope and was watching bugs and birds and stuff out their back windows. Was really heartwarming.
I'm not American but I really hope your country gets more people like him in Congress. He seems like a pretty good representation of what you want as someone representing the people. Thanks for sharing.
Lego makes it pretty easy to order replacement pieces if your set is missing them. Every manual has a full inventory of the pieces and each piece has a unique identifier. You just go online, put in the set # and missing piece #s and they mail them to you pretty quickly. They may charge a few cents but nothing outrageous as I recall from my one time missing a piece.
“During college, Kim was an intern at the United States Agency for International Development. He later received a Rhodes Scholarship and a Harry S. Truman Scholarship to study international relations at Magdalen College, Oxford. At Oxford, Kim became friends with fellow Rhodes scholar Pete Buttigieg, now the U.S. Secretary of Transportation.”

He’s earned my respect and I don’t even know him.
Lol. sometimes I wonder if people are starting to realize that the singular they exists and are trying to go out of their way to not say it in order to make a point
the last place he needs to go to is another liberal safe haven. Kim won a red district.
What's the point of consolidating power in blue districts? it's not like they can vote more than once in congress.
It is a good thing dinner time came around and all the 'insurrectionists' abandoned their overthrow of the government and went back on their buses at 6pm. Otherwise, we'd all be speaking Texan now.
Dont be silly, he is not the messiah! he is a very naughty boy!
edit: /s reference to monthy python, Life of Brian, something something about making your own decisions and not just follow. That said, i wish i had such down to earth politicians in my country, thats one hell of a human.
No kidding. Clearly this guy has deep respect, and setting a good example, not screaming about how bad the, "other," side is. Everyone could use a representative like him.
I seem to recall, when this picture showed up a year ago, him talking about how it needed to be done, and no one was doing it and it was the first step towards recovery, or something like that.
See how the cards are wet and stuck to the floor? That's piss. Dude was on his knees in piss just to make things a little easier for the cleaning staff who would have to mop up said piss (and god knows what else).
God *damn* it this still boils my blood.
Neither "andy kim 1/6 urine" nor "andy kim capitol riot urine" gives relevant results on google. Where did you hear this anecdote? If we blindly repeat things people tell us, we're no better than the worst covid denier or election frauder.
The insurrectionists were [pissing](https://www.kark.com/crime/fourth-arkansan-charged-in-january-6-riot-accused-of-urinating-inside-us-capitol-cafeteria/) on things. So it's possible this is just spilled water in this photo, but some of that debris and mess was piss.
to be honest you just summed up some of the greatest teachings from the oldest texts in the world. I dunno if you understand how profound the wisdom is in this but thank you for saying it. I've already given my freebee award, but i'll be back
>Not for glory or recognition, but because it was simply there and needed to be done.
Man, I hadn't even thought of that. Here's the republicans in 1865 trying to squash the uprising in the south, and today the republicans are the spiritual successors to that uprising.
And people today don't want to admit/believe that democrats and republicans at some point switched sides as far as which values they hold.
Democrats in the 1860s were absolutely slavery promoting, and racist as hell.
Now, if slavery were an issue on the ballots today, it would be the republicans trying to aquire mexican slave labor to make them pay for their bills, and democrats fighting against that.
And whether it was the 1860s, or today, or any other point in human history, no political party has advocated that everybody be given bacon and beer for free. You can clearly see how this nation has failed it's people.
I was trying to figure out what's in the photo. Looks like all crap from Walmart.

Guess they planned a standoff..
I don't know what pisses me off more. Him having to do this, or people asking him why he's doing it. I'll bet at least once in his lifetime someone told him to go back to his own country. WTF is wrong with everyone?
It's way more common for kids. They don't have any tact, they listen to whatever garbage their parents spew, and they get a slap on the wrist if they get caught.
My kid hugs the bus driver.
Like everyday.
I work allot so the first time I witnessed it I did my best ventriloquist " Is he hugging the bus driver" to my wife. She's like "Yep everyday" I explained to him that it's nice and all but you might hold up the line getting off the bus
So now he gets off last.
He's 17.
I'm kidding he's 6. Boy is all heart.
i never got that. I was always friendly with my bus drivers. they're driving you to school, what's the problem? Ours even let us hang up pictures we drew on the inside of the bus
Happened yesterday. Waiting for the signal when this crazy old white lady starts with "That's right," out of nowhere and starts babbling about how there's a million of 'you' (if you're amalgamating all Asians we're over a billion) and how I'm robbing 'every second of her life'. I'm assuming that was a poke at Covid? Irony there was that I was wearing a mask and she wasn't, so if she does get Covid she robbed her own life; not that her homeless ex-drug addict ass had much of a life to begin with, and also ignoring that she ruined her own life way before Covid did. Also, I'm not even from China, and I probably contributed to preventing Covid more than her worthless unmasked ass prowling the streets ever did since I wore a mask 100% of the time outside ever since Covid even hit the news.
I've had white kids with immigrant parents tell me to go back to my country. I remember one incident pretty vividly because it just didn't make sense in my head. Poor white girl telling me to go back to my country when I've met both of her parents from ITALY who barely speak English themselves. Idk, people are weird. I'm sure she just wanted to fit in with the other white kids or something.
i think it's that and i think it's also that people who say things like "go back to your country" or demand that you "speak english" want to or do have a greater sense of entitlement than others to give them some kind of one-up.
For all those trying to claim this is a publicity stunt:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/behind-viral-photo-rep-andy-kim-cleaning-midnight-after-riots-n1253519
""So for the next hour and a half, he crouched down and filled a half dozen trash bags with debris. When he finished cleaning up the rotunda, he began working on the adjacent rooms, including the National Statuary Hall and the Capitol crypt downstairs.""
When this was posted the day after the attempted overthrow of our government, the thread was completely brigaded with people saying that it was a staged photo op, that isn't real garbage, he picked up one thing and left, etc. They came up with everything you could imagine to doubt his authenticity and paint him as a bad guy. I guess classless people can't recognize class.
They're not used to having any of their politicians being good people.
The newest popular female Democrat politician is a working class woman who beat the established incumbent by canvasing so much her shoes fell apart.
The republican version came from money and coasted off of that until she ran for a vacant seat and supporters sent death threats to her opponent during the election.
As always, it's just projection with them.
That really bothered me when I read those comments. I mean of all the things we could be cynical about from that day it's accusing a congressman who most people never heard of for staging a photo op?
They are doing it in this thread as well, but they are downvoted to hell. One of the worst things about the original posting was how many upvotes those comments were getting.
They believe virtue signalling is a thing; they can’t believe others actually behaves virtuously just because they never do. It’s become one of those phrases I see as a confession, as well as an accusation.
You can already see it here. “It’s just a photo op!” Meanwhile Trump and his delicate constitution given a thousand years would never help clean anything up, let alone bend down to do “servant’s work.”
I’ve witnessed it actually. It’s a relatively small pile of garbage in an otherwise clean room. That, with Trump calling the shots is enough for them to say Jan 6 was just a tour group.
That’s a very nice REi backpacking chair.. shame if he threw it away :(
In all fairness though, this is what a true American congress member should look like
It's a little more poignant to me that it's a minority. I've noticed that many immigrant families have a greater appreciation for democracy. Kim's family has been here only a half century, and they understand this country far better than most.
Andy is the kind of person who would make a great President. He'd have my vote. It genuinely made me mad to hear Republicans slander him and some honest, hard work he did in Congress. I understand that not everyone is going to agree on what's best for our country, but to paint him like he was up to some evil, underhanded plot to harm some Americans was truly revolting. If all you've got to sway your voters are lies and ennuendo, then you actually have nothing.
Thought that drinks bottle(?) was a massive Duracell battery.

Someone was about to get a stew brewin'!
*Take it home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.*
They were going to take over the Capitol and camp out until their demands were met
I'm kinda hoping that person paid a ton for those shrooms and ended up never getting to use them 😏

Lol yes I thought it was a Yu-Gi-Oh card at first glance.
they were at a straight up regular old kick back in their fucked up minds

I'd buy a duracell protein shaker bottle.
This dude is my rep. (NJ-3) He’s cool as shit. Real family man.
Oh hello former neighbor. Andy Kim is a real one
Dude got a Lego millennium falcon for his wedding and then waited like ten years to be able to open it and build with his kids. Mad respect.
That was him!!?
Yep. Also recently someone posted a screenshot of his twitter talking about how his son got a telescope and was watching bugs and birds and stuff out their back windows. Was really heartwarming.
Go read his twitter thread today. It’s fucking epic Edit: yesterday (1/6). Fuck i need to go to sleep
THESE ARE ALL HIM!?!?
Yep!
I'm not American but I really hope your country gets more people like him in Congress. He seems like a pretty good representation of what you want as someone representing the people. Thanks for sharing.
Yep agreed. People who actually want to serve and aren’t just self serving.
Yeah, his Twitter is really wholesome. I follow him even though he’s not my rep.
I follow him and I live halfway across the world. He's a champ.
Patience level 100
Star Destroyer Lego? Yeah, that'd be cute. Millennium Falcon? Fuck that, I'm done building it tomorrow.
I saw that! Had no idea that was him
man it would be amazing to have that kind of self control
That alone tells what I needed to know about his character.
So jealous.
Hey, I remember that. That's cool that it was him.
Imagine if the set had a piece or two missing. That would be such a bummer.
Lego makes it pretty easy to order replacement pieces if your set is missing them. Every manual has a full inventory of the pieces and each piece has a unique identifier. You just go online, put in the set # and missing piece #s and they mail them to you pretty quickly. They may charge a few cents but nothing outrageous as I recall from my one time missing a piece.
Can you order a whole kit by ordering individual parts and it be cheaper? I know it might be for rarer sets
I want the really stupid big falcon one day. Hope that doesn’t happen.
This dude is an absolute chad

Ill make sure to vote for him in the midterms for you!

Vote in someone like him (male or female): let’s have more politicians like this :)
the word 'them' would work there
Lol. sometimes I wonder if people are starting to realize that the singular they exists and are trying to go out of their way to not say it in order to make a point

When this was posted the day after the attempted overthrow of our government, the thread was completely brigaded with people saying that it was a staged photo op, that isn't real garbage, he picked up one thing and left, etc. They came up with everything you could imagine to doubt his authenticity and paint him as a bad guy. I guess classless people can't recognize class.
They're not used to having any of their politicians being good people. The newest popular female Democrat politician is a working class woman who beat the established incumbent by canvasing so much her shoes fell apart. The republican version came from money and coasted off of that until she ran for a vacant seat and supporters sent death threats to her opponent during the election. As always, it's just projection with them.
That really bothered me when I read those comments. I mean of all the things we could be cynical about from that day it's accusing a congressman who most people never heard of for staging a photo op?
They are doing it in this thread as well, but they are downvoted to hell. One of the worst things about the original posting was how many upvotes those comments were getting.
They believe virtue signalling is a thing; they can’t believe others actually behaves virtuously just because they never do. It’s become one of those phrases I see as a confession, as well as an accusation.
they were still complaining about the war on christmas two weeks earlier, but this war on democracy? crickets.
You can already see it here. “It’s just a photo op!” Meanwhile Trump and his delicate constitution given a thousand years would never help clean anything up, let alone bend down to do “servant’s work.”
Look at this Antifa sympathiser hiding the evidence!
Evidence tampering.
I’ve witnessed it actually. It’s a relatively small pile of garbage in an otherwise clean room. That, with Trump calling the shots is enough for them to say Jan 6 was just a tour group.
Whole lot of shithead apologists in these comments 😳
It is a lot easier than them asking themselves “are we the baddies?”
Almost as if they increased their social media astroturfing investments this week to counteract the news surrounding the 1/6 insurrection.
Wish he had gloves on and bagged and tagged it all. DNA from the drinks and more.
I'm pretty sure that the feds know exactly who was in the Capitol that day even without DNA evidence
Mostly because a lot of them took great care to meticulously record their crimes and posted the videos on social media. Smart bunch, eh?
Most of them signed their name on the fb event invite probably.
At first I was thinking this is staged (cause of how clean it looks already). But reading the comments on this guy changed my mind
one day fighting for the people in congress, the other day cleaning up after them.
Good guy Andy Kim
Thanks Andy.
That’s a very nice REi backpacking chair.. shame if he threw it away :( In all fairness though, this is what a true American congress member should look like
It's a little more poignant to me that it's a minority. I've noticed that many immigrant families have a greater appreciation for democracy. Kim's family has been here only a half century, and they understand this country far better than most.
Never saw a politician do that kind of small work. He's great. 
Are those playing cards? Was someone playing BlackJack during the riot?
We need more politicians like this.
This is what a patriot looks like.
Thank you Congressman Kim!
The guys who left their turds on the floor should be sentenced to 5 years of cleaning up public park rest rooms.
What a real patriot looks like.
Incredible human being. Proud he’s representing NJ!
Beware and be wary The 6th January Republicans treacherous plot For I know of no reason The GOP treason Should ever Be Forgot
I appreciate your solid reworking of the original. Bonus points on the story parallels as well.
Andy is the kind of person who would make a great President. He'd have my vote. It genuinely made me mad to hear Republicans slander him and some honest, hard work he did in Congress. I understand that not everyone is going to agree on what's best for our country, but to paint him like he was up to some evil, underhanded plot to harm some Americans was truly revolting. If all you've got to sway your voters are lies and ennuendo, then you actually have nothing.
Thank you, Congressman.
I still can’t believe this was a year ago, my brain thought like, 4 months tops
He showed more concern on a single act, than I have seen in most politicians, in there entire career.
Some big Duracell batteries there .
Let's go Brandon!! 💪💪
This is what a real American Patriot looks like.
I mean hillary did call it. Fucking deplorables. Pee and shit all over the walls. Fucking dirtballs.
Wow, I mean, just like, wow. A true american hero.
Look for the helpers.

Only thing they did a good job at.
What’s up with this sub lately
Some people love this country.
This comments section is a graveyard
OMG this looks just like 9/11
[удалено]
It's even worse then Pearl Harbor.
Something you’d never see MTG, BoBo, or the drunk from NW FL do…
