While I am a man and they are mostly men, I am not their kind of man. I’m not exactly a Never-Manner, but I will do what I must to not allow them to define manhood. Because I enjoy being a man.

In addition to all of the self-collected and publicly displayed incriminating evidence, there will be troves of time-stamped video from commercial and government security cameras that these bozos will have walked by going to and from both the rally and the capitol. The timelines and locations will all be documented. They are all screwed. :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

Very sobering article. And sad that a few videos and the big lie have been effective in converting these people. They want to be winners and so any info that says they really won the election is believed. Every election has irregularities and they are minor in this country. But never before has a president chosen selfish gain over the continued existence of the country.

Because they watch/listen to rightwing media. GB has restrictions on media. We could learn a thing or two from them. That’s why Murdoch came here, to spread hate and lies that no other country would allow him to get away with.

Seen another way, it is a hodgepodge, a cross section of America that includes hardcore white supremacists and people you might run into at a mall or a country club.

In other words, hardcore white supremacists.

There’s a really clear shot of the faces of two of them at about 0:20. Hello, Boys! Facial recognition searching is a thing that y’all are going to be learning about, very soon.

Hope you like 3 squares and a 6’x8’. Looks like the rest of your lives are fucked.

This “rap sheet” is speeding violations, a no seatbelt charge, debt collection and pre-eviction - the record of a typical arrested development delinquent. File under Sarah Palin, Matt Gaetz and George W Bush… among many others.
