PA man imprisoned for death threat against Eric Swalwell announces run for Congress - Alternet.org
A man who left a message threatening to kill Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) and his staff with AR-15 rifles is now seeking to become Swalwell’s colleague in the US House of Representatives.
According to journalist Katherine Swartz, 23-year-old Joshua Hall of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania — who was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison in 2022 for making threats to kill a member of the United States Congress — filed his official candidacy papers with the Federal Election Commission on Friday evening.
“I deserve a second chance as anybody does, and I still want to be able to make a positive impact,” Hall said, who is on probation through 2026.

Pretty sure that anything organized along these lines were for Trump’s Malignant Plans, but assembled by malfeasant Roger Stone. Why is he not in a slammer now?

Hall is a loser in his mother’s basement with Cheetohs™ dust all over his clothes. He is a hick from a small town with nothing to offer thru political action. He has revealed himself already.

Ryan Reilly posted videos of insurrectionists yelling through a broken window of the House. Representatives were still being evacuated. Go watch and listen. This happened just three years ago.
From Ryan’s feed.
“If we’re got to hang a bunch of crooked congressmen, we’ll do that, okay?”

Yes, Donald Trump, your “legitimate” president who accomplished everything on his own with “no” help.

Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein regularly at his Palm Beach mansion, Epstein’s housekeeper testified - but never had massages or stayed the night, and always ate his meals with the staff in the kitchen.
Juan Alessi’s 2009 deposition was made public on Friday as part of the third tranche of documents released by a Manhattan judge. The documents formed part of a 2015 defamation case filed by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, against Epstein’s right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Alessi, who worked for Epstein from around 1990 until 2002, was asked whether Trump - whose Mar-a-Lago home is less than two miles from Epstein’s waterfront compound - ever stayed the night.
‘No, never,’ replied Alessi.
Alessi continued: ‘He would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He eat with me in the kitchen.’
Trump has never been accused of any wrongdoing, and he and Epstein fell out in 2004 over a Palm Beach real estate deal.
But the two men were close for well over a decade, with Epstein’s infamous ‘black book’ containing 16 phone numbers for Trump.
Trump, who had divorced his first wife Ivana in 1990, organized in 1992 a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago, with 28 female contestants.
The organizer, George Houraney, who ran American Dream Enterprise, a small Florida company that staged a calendar-girl contest and other events, was according to Vanity Fair shocked to learn there were only two male guests - Trump and Epstein.
In November 1992, Trump threw a raucous party with NFL cheerleaders at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and invited Epstein.
And in 1997, the pair were photographed at a Victoria’s Secret party in New York City.

The Oath Keepers were following Washington law by not carrying the weapons in the district, while waiting for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, which gives the president the authority to deploy the military domestically for law enforcement.
It’s ironic that what helped save democracy in America is a law the Supreme Court despises.
Also, the Oathkeepers are not regulation military, so how would the Insurrection Act cover them as a mere militia?

Yes. Well, we know Trump would, wouldn’t he?

How is this anything other than an order for violence directed against people exercising a constitutional right? Can this be read in any other way? It’s not particularly subtle. With all respect to the First Amendment, it’s time to seriously consider detaining him in a public facility.

Page 100, paragraph 395, subsection Z of Trump Declaration of the invocation of the Insurrection Act.
“Any volunteers who wish to form a militia to eliminate these vermin are welcome to assist. Any such militia is now and forever immune from legal actions for any actions they take to recover and restore our country free of vermin,”
Something like that?

Our jails will be the place to go for humorous entertainment if Trump is elected. Fascists aren’t exactly known for their sense of humor.

What about using true information, via social media networks, to coordinate (sometimes necessarily violent) defense against violence? Can what works somewhat effectively with disinformation work even better with true information? If Trump wins, invoking the Insurrection Act as planned for as Day 1 Dictator, we should not, of course, wish for gun battles on Fifth Avenue. Yet some level of social-media coordinated defense will be essential.

TFG ate with the help? Right. Very believable.
Unless the help was one of the “good” immigrants “we” want from Europe. Tall, long legs, Slavic accent and curves…

Still not scared. I think of all those guys marching through a college campus shouting about blacks and Jews. Real center of black, Jewish life, the Carolinas.
I think of them marching in an enclosed area carrying flaming torches. I think about how many empty screwtop wine bottles are in the garbage cans of college towns.
Nope. Not scared at all.
