Prosecutors Detail Oathkeepers’ Alleged ‘Race’ To Capitol Attack — In Golf Carts | Talking Points Memo

They do and they don’t. Although the Shriners hospitals do a lot of good, the percentage of funds raised by Shriners that get to the hospitals is not always that high. (Ages ago an investigative reporter friend in florida did a series on them – he was advised to leave the state.)

Regarding those mysterious golf carts, they could have hauled them in on a trailer.
I lived in the SW for awhile and in high season and snow birdies, the golf carts appeared. Have seen them being hauled down the freeway.

Reminder that the NYT is a shitty newspaper in desperate need of an overhaul.

I found an article in the NYT that delves into the Shriners.They had a 9 billion dollar endowment fund where most of the hospital’s operating costs came from back in 2007 when the NYT article was written.
The article said about 57% of their raised funds went for booze and events for members back then…

I think things may have changed since then because they have a great rating by a charity rating firm now.

Well, thank you for that. Somebody once gave me a compilation CD of songs with fantasy/filk/medieval/war songs and that was on it. I had no idea what it was about, because who can understand the words?, but I love the music. (Parades in my part of the world never had mummers.)

What? The GOP clown cars were all out of commission?

You get the feeling that most of the MAGA can’t pass a regular drivers test or ride a bike for that matter. The corrupt, sainted Conservative Movement is definitely out of shape, out of gas and out of luck that security cameras and cell phone documented all their criminal actions that day.

Are you sure the carts don’t have Russian license plates?

Which is exactly why @mattinpa’s point resonates so strongly.

I think the headline in the DB article may misinterpret something in the indictment, a quote from Minuta:

“Patriots are storming the Capitol…so we’re en route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now."

I think that may possibly refer to a wild ride, not to having stolen the carts.
