To be fair, it’s an actual LEGO set - not something he was building from his own mind.

… and it’s a really cool set!

Hey MTG, George Floyd wasn’t a “tourist” storming the nation’s Capitol. He was a black man murdered by a white cop.

Bitch.

I’ve never heard of a lawyer trying to send legal counsel for a sanctions hearing and skipping out on it. That’s pretty brazen.

Just remember - there are a whole lot more just like her in GA. The ones that voted for her and think she’s wonderful.

If there’s a lesson to be learned in Congressional elections, it’s to frickin’ show up so you aren’t represented by a nincompoop like this one.

You all won’t think it’s so funny when the Proud Boys take over the universe.

“Arizona’s top elections official has called for a criminal investigation into what she described as former President Donald Trump’s “intense efforts to interfere” with the counting of ballots in last year’s presidential election. In a letter posted to Twitter, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs urged the state attorney general to probe reports that Trump and his allies—Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Kelli Ward—attempted to meddle with ballot counting. Hobbs cited reporting by the Arizona Republic that revealed Ward, chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, told the chairman of the board of supervisors: “We need you to stop the counting.” Hobbs wrote on Twitter: “Local reporting recently uncovered intense efforts to interfere with the tabulation of ballots and canvass of the 2020 election in Maricopa County. In Arizona, interfering with election officials is a felony. Today, I asked @GeneralBrnovich to investigate.” According to the Arizona Republic , Brnovich has not yet commented on the request.”

D’ya think the ones he believes should be prosecuted are on his side or the opposition?

D’ya think he means his colleagues in the House and the Senate?

D’ya think he believes for one moment that anyone of consequence will be prosecuted or will it all just be the ‘little people’ that got hornswoggled into the cult?

And then, this:

Can someone tell me how this is just tourists? Please? How stupid does one have to be to buy that line and sinker?

Were these tactical Legos like the ones the military uses to plan invasions?
