Oath Keepers Swerved Around Cops In Golf Carts On Way To Jan. 6 Attack, Indictment Says | Talking Points Memo

I ran some searches and I’m not finding any violent actions against people listed for these Oath Keepers. Seems like maybe they took a look and accepted that it was a fool’s errand and got out of there. Hmm.

Idea of the day: all pardons come with an implicit parole stipulation, so people like Roger Stone can enjoy 3 hots and a cot instead of mistakenly believing they’re invincible and encouraged to commit further crimes.

Sounds like a bad sequel to The Straight Story.

Good movie, by the way.

I actually saw it I guess over a decade ago and enjoyed it. Most anything Lynch resonates with me plus Sissy is cool. Might be time to add to my pandemic movie list.

I don’t have anything of real substance to contribute here–just that I keep wanting to read this group’s name as “Oaf Keepers.”

Yeah, and Gaetz only hired those girls to protect them from traffickers.

After getting over the silliness of the golf-cart armada, I seriously realize its tactical brilliance.

What could be more harmless than a golf cart? Yet it can be used to move several people quietly more quickly than on foot through congested spaces to arrive fresh and rested.

They conspicuously conspired to make sure crowds came. My understanding is the conspiracy charges ramps UP all charges.

Minuta allegedly exited the building, yelling at a law enforcement officer that “All that’s left is the Second Amendment!”

He’s going to find out that the Fifth Amendment is going to be much more important to him than the Second.

“Patriots are storming the Capitol building”

So now Antifa are called “patriots”?

“That’s not why we were there that day. We were there to protect Trump supporters from antifa.”

Well, you did a lousy job of it. Antifa invaded the Capitol, trashed the place, and made sure the Trump supporters got all the blame. Even got them to live-stream it on their own devices. Boy, did you guys get played.

How ironic. The rich in their golf carts sending their NeoNazi bodyguars to beat, main and kill the police. It’s the sainted Conservative Movements way.

In MAGA land it does not matter if Antifa was actually at the Capitol or whether the election was really stolen from Trump, it is the thought that counts.
