Fletcher helped stage a Jan. 5 rally at Freedom Plaza, where speakers deemed too extreme for the Jan. 6 rally outside the White House were shunted.

But Trump was allowed to speak at the Ellipse…

There is nothing more extreme than the unrepentant, megalomaniac Mango Mussolini! Bring that fat ass to justice for his multitude of crimes!!!

Bryan Lewis organized another rally near the Capitol on Jan. 6, saying in a permit cited by the Committee that he wanted the event to “urge congress to nullify electoral votes from states that made illegal changes to voting rules during their elections.”

I would like to state once more for the record -

  • In most or all cases where there were changes to allow more mail in ballots, etc, no one proved that the changes were illegal
  • The complaint is that the states or districts made it too easy for eligible voters to vote. They never presented any real evidence of voter fraud, so that’s it. That’s the complaint.

That is the way to go, with the changes to the electoral laws in GA, the election that really matters is the primary, and that you win it by going extreme. They don’t even have to worry about the general election because the Legislature passed laws that allows them to put a finger in a balance. And those rednecks are not going to allow a democrat that happens to be female and black to win. It really has to be a way to extreme character for the said rednecks to go against a republican candidate, I don’t think that Satan himself would fit the bills long as he professes his devotion to the 2nd amendment.

Two points: 1) We’re gonna need bigger prisons to house all these conspirators, seditionists, and traitors. (2) ETTD!

Hmmmm…interesting that there are a whole batch of people of whom we have heard basically nothing up to now, but who are obviously in the thick of things. Gives us an inkling of exactly how much of the iceberg is underwater and out of our sight.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Balls in a vise, I tell ya.
With the roll that the 1/6 committee is on, they would not be issuing these subpoenas now, if House Counsel Doug Letter thought that they would lose any subpoena challenges.

As long as the GQP focuses on fighting each other, I don’t really care what they do. Particularly if at the end of it all, we have Governor Abrams.

Proof of wrongdoing is good for the history books, but will have no effect on Trump. He commits crimes in broad daylight, brags about it, and then gets away with almost everything.

That is going to be one doozy of a report.

Except the fools at the insurrection thought/think they were/are the “righteousness as a mighty stream” part. They’ll never be talked out of that position.
