At 2:35 p.m., the “stack” of Oath Keepers moved toward the Capitol, eventually forcibly entering the building around 2:40 p.m., prosecutors have alleged.

Same OK’s who were just guarding Stone?

We were there to protect Trump supporters from antifa.”

I was under the impression they were ALL antifa.

“If we actually intended to take over the Capitol, we’d have taken it, and we’d have brought guns,” he added. “That’s not why we were there that day. We were there to protect Trump supporters from antifa.”

Er, the Secret Service protects the president, dude. Not you.

You participated in an insurrection. In-sur-rec-tion.

It’s as if those golf cart riding fools down at the Villages shouting White power made their way to Washington D.C. on 1/6.

Yeah, the motorized column kinda puts paid to pleading “spontaneity” – not only did they bring body armor, they schlepped vehicles there too.

Hopefully the golf carts had Trump National Golf Club stenciled on their fronts.

Actually some of the insurrectionists have stated that it was DC’s tough firearms laws that made them not bring their guns. Stun guns (the guy in Pelosi’s office had one that was 900k volts) and bear spray obviously caused enough damage.

“Bodyguards” my ass. Stone does political black ops for a living. He operates in plain sight under alibis so thin, so obviously a pretext for criminal activity, they represent open mockery and (almost) never gets caught.

Oh. So…who supplied the golf carts? Any receipts?

Yeah, all that’s left is the 2nd Amendment. Or jail.

Seriously, does it need to be pointed out that ZERO of these 2nd Amendment Patriots attempted to use their precious guns when they were rounded up like lost sheep despite having all the time to prepare? Gun Nuts have been daring the government to take their guns for decades, then they voluntarily surrendered ALL their freedom as soon as the cops showed up and can only whine about how much jail sucks.

It’s almost as if everything they believe is a lie fed to them by the entertainment industry to sell movie tickets, beer, and pickup trucks. Just yesterday I saw William Shatner say westerns didn’t have messages, because he internalized the idea that white men alone can win the girl and solve every problem with guns and doesn’t see how that was a message.

I’m waiting to see if they manage to envelope Stone in this…his pardon won’t cover activities with the Oath Keepers surrounding the insurrection. If they are going after Rhoades on conspiracy (or similar) charges, it’s easy to imagine the same for Stone, as you can bet he couldn’t avoid butting into planning for the activities on Jan 6th. It’s very likely the DoJ would keep that extremely quiet though, indicting Stone will be an explosive event.

I see they have a dummy like the ones people haul to (illegally) qualify to use commuter lanes, albeit with an infinitely more punchable face.

It’s not his fault Antifa got the date wrong.

I assume Trump somehow managed to charge the US taxpayers for the use of the golf carts?

“Patriots are storming the Capitol building; there’s violence against patriots by the D.C. Police; so we’re en route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now,”

These guys are all 12 year olds who seem to think life goes down like a video game.
