ā€œAll I see Trump doing is complaining. I see no intent by him to do anything."

I hope the leader of the decision-making classes in prison is reading this, because I think itā€™s an insight he or she could help Mr. Rhodes build on in his path upward from idiocy.

There are puppets, and there are puppeteers. I hope they are making their way to the puppeteer. There are monkeys on a leash, and there are organ grinders holding the leash. I hope they are making their way to the organ grinder.

ā€œDO NOT bring in anything that can get you arrested. Leave that outside DC.ā€

  1. Common sense.
  2. Respect for the law.
  3. Love for the Constitution.

Probably some other items.

I wonder if the FBI rankā€™nā€™file are glad that they can finally go after these criminals, with no big political blocks in their way anymore. Do real investigations. Write reports, free of whitewash.

I simply adore these geniuses for remembering to document their conspiracy in progress.

Iā€™m still not sure exactly what ā€˜oathā€™ they believe they are keeping.

So. It looks like DCā€™s gun regulations worked. Can you imagine how many people might have died if the insurrectionists had been able to open-carry at the protest (aka staging point) like in MI or TX or WA?

Perhaps it is difficult to recognize themselves as the domestic enemies without a mirror.
