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 it’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 rank’n’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.

I’m still not sure exactly what ā€˜oath’ they believe they are keeping.

So. It looks like DC’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?

Well, yes, and there are many so, so concerned about their ā€œendowmentā€ that they resort to using something that they ā€œstrap on.ā€ It would be quite typical for this particular organ grinder… Just sayin’…

The oath to ā€œdefend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.ā€

As Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up.

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

Yes I certainly hope Chump and his helpers communication records show they had contact with a few of these groups. Especially if they did it on the govt. dime, govt. time, govt. device, etc.
