I think he’s been sedated since the video praising the terrorists. He can’t Tweet or post on Facebook, so he really has little to keep him occupied. Even if he is conscious, he only thinks in terms of what will help him in the present moment, so I doubt that he even remembers that he signed it. Probably will try to blame it on Biden.

When you have idiots like Matt Gaetz on the House floor saying the insurrectionists were “violent antifa” members, we have truly become a nation of fools.

Here’s another one - Rick Saccone, who lost to Conor Lamb in a high-profile House special election in 2018. (Pictures are of Saccone; this was taken from a longer thread, which picked up the unrelated comments about Paul Davis.)

I think we all know the answer.

1. I Have The Privilege Of Having A Positive Relationship With The Police, Generally

Sure, the police who patrolled the affluent neighborhoods of my youth were an inconvenience to a few keggers, and I maintain that a traffic violation from the late 90s was unfair, but I grew up thinking of the police officers as a source of safety if I were ever in danger; I certainly never viewed them as the source of danger. In 1999, Amadou Diallo—and the 41 bullets that police officers in plainclothes discharged at this unarmed Black man with no criminal record—taught me that not all share this privilege.

What is with the names, really? They’ve all got idiotic monikers that got struck from the script in first edits.

I keep on thinking about the fact that no one seemed to have counter protested. I didn’t hear of any. I hoped for none mostly so that the insurrectionists couldn’t pin violence etc on them. This was a smart move by the Resistance. It shows who the true patriots are.

That is 100% what I am talking about. I listened to an hour long discussion last night on how hard it would be to get TRump for his phone call to the GA SOS because of the difficulty in proving intent. He seemed to really believe he had won by thousands of votes in GA, therefore his actions were not criminal in his mind. I kept thinking about the black woman in TX who got 5 years for voting because she wasn’t aware that as a felon she could not vote. What was her intent?

White collar laws are written by white collar people to make sure prosecution is extremely difficult.

It’s D.C. They would have been waiting in the streets near the WH at nightfall, but then the curfew came into play, so never had the chance to move out.

Well the RNC headquarters did have a pipe bomb removed from their front door, but the DNC also had to call the bomb squad. So which one was the red herring?

It also disproves the perverse right wing theory that this was caused by antifa. Antifa is smart enough to know to wear masks when they are in cities protesting. They know cities have many surveillance cameras and masks make it difficult to ID them. Y’all Qaeda is so stupid they not only commit crimes without masks to hide their ID but also live stream the crime on their Facebook and twitter feeds.

Well it also means the authorities need to circulate the pix at hospitals, because some of these folks are going to be admitted in about 10 days to 2 weeks.
