A yogi cop, that’s a new one. Remind me to check the credentials of the next new yoga instructor I take classes from.

This is really good news. More please :grin:

From the Mother Jones article:

Hotsetter had a very specific idea of justice: “The enemies and traitors of America, both foreign and domestic, must be held accountable. And they will. There must be long prison terms, while execution is the just punishment for the ringleaders of this coup.” A woman at the front of the crowd yelled, “Gitmo!” Standing next to Hotsetter, thoughout this violent rant, was former GOP congressman [Dana Rohrabacher](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/09/alleged-holocaust-denier-chuck-johnson-attends-matt-gaetz-fundraiser-dana-rohrabacher/), who long represented the area before losing his seat in 2018. (When Rohrabacher spoke, he vowedthat the assembled would not allow “communists to take control of our government” through election fraud.)

I’ve said this before, but after their revolts failed, the Canadian revolutionaries fled the country.

Every failed revolution led to the defeated fleeing the country (fun fact: the Soviets captured one of the White Russians, by stuffing him in a steamer trunk.), but here, they politely wait and talk sh–.
