Fight, fight, fight. All these dudes want to do is fight. I’m beginning to think there is something psychologically wrong with them.
Why can’t they write a thoughtful letter-to-the-editor? Why can’t they go try to get out the vote?
Nope, all they want to do is fight.

Let us hope that the J6 Commission has the goods on the connections between Trump/his White House operation and violent insurrectionists like the Oath Keepers, and can reveal those connections when the public hearings begin. And let us hope–as I believe it is–that the DOJ is keeping track, and getting ready to pounce.

It’s significant that the head of this bunch of ideological thugs was in contact with the White House. By “significant” I mean HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Whose phone number would Elmer have had who was in the White House the morning of January 6? Seems unlikely it would be anyone on White House Staff, but I think there were a number of outside advocates of the Big Lie hanging around that morning before the rally. Mike Flynn and Sidney Powell both come to mind as likely contacts.

Don’t overthink it. “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” is right there.

Rhodes then called an individual over speaker phone. Wilson heard,…

Wilson didn’t recognize the voice? I wonder if he later got some help to make an educated guess as to who it might have been.

These guys were all certifiable. It’s nuts what the sight of a tan suit on a black dude in the White House will do to the soul of a white trash cracker. The question is, was Trump one of them ?..based on everything I’ve seen, I think he is, but he is also as stoopid and scatterbrained as they are.

The dangerous ReThugs are in the SCOTUS plotting the kind of mayhem that will be a lot harder to shutdown.

And the Lame Stream Media hasn’t written a word about the Valiant Heroic Patriotic Oathy Battles they waged upon the wolves who came to their doors and arrested them…

So unfair.

They should join the Russian Foreign Legion tank corpse and attack Ukraine.
