Conspirator-1 looks so much like a dick he’s even got only one eye.

Enjoy never being allowed to possess ‘goodies’ again, Stewie.

LEO can be stodgy, dull, seemingly clueless and slow.

If you think about it “Former Guy” screwed the Oath Keepers with his, and other Republicans harping on Antifa may be coming to DC. For a militia made up of ex-military they sure don’t have an intel ops.
And I bet that none of them got paid for providing “security” to the speakers at the rally.

He looks remarkably like Dr. Gorka, AKA The Dragon of Budapest.

Also, why do you think either one of his eyes is “good”?

Of course republicans’er spposed to have the advantage in any election…

CNN’s John Avlon looks at HR 1, a sweeping government, ethics and election bill that hopes to counter state-level efforts to restrict voting access. As the bill heads to the Senate, Republicans are fighting the bill, arguing that the legislation limits political speech and is meant to give Democrats an advantage in elections.

Equal access to voting under the law…

Now how the fuck can that be a “partisan” issue?

Aside from the doubletalk required to make it partisan I think back to a buddy of mine and the long discussion we had on what it took to be a modern-day Republican…

And both of us came up with the anonymity of ideology…the ability to couch one’s personal resentments and grievances into something larger than oneself…now that’s the VOTERS.

The politicians?

Flip the punk and collapse Trump’s insurrectionist house of cards.

Near as I can tell, it’s because unequal access is partisan in their favor, ergo, the Democrats are gaming the system by letting just any ol’ citizen of age vote, without any kind of vetting, poll tax, or color chart.

Any system which allows folks to vote against you is by definition partisan and therefore a rigged election in favor of the other candidate.

Yeah but they get to stand around and wear their tactical gear and fondle weapons. That is their payoff

“Come to South Side of Capitol on Steps,” Rhodes messaged

Sounds like he’s directing the attack …

“will have the goodies in case things go bad and we need to get heavy.” Watkins allegedly messaged Bennie Parker, another indicted member of the militia, that “QRF will be our Law Enforcement members of Oathkeepers.”

… and assuring the seditionists on the scene that there are reinforcements in place, don’t it?

If that’s not being an integral part of a conspiracy the “most famous resident of Grift-A-Lotto” is the very epitome of altruism.

You’re expecting rational. Goobers don’t do rational. I’ve really tried to be decent when posting about republicans but the stimulus bill vote has killed the last bit of decency they had from my way of thinking. They actually do not care if Americans suffer and die cuz money and reelection are more important. Really they want us …irrespective of party … to get sick and die … It cannot have another explanation for that strict party line vote.
