is that where we can find him when we need him, the bat signal (a weed leaf) isn't working anymore

this was Mo brooks take (you know the congress person who spoke at the stop the steal rally on 1/6)


So mo understands a crazy person's desire to blow shit up if he doesn't get his way??


Great response to this

@RepMoBrooks
Calm down folks, he's not supporting terrorism. He just sympathizes with the terrorists because he feels they are the brave patriotic vanguard against the Socialist threat to the very fabric of American society, which must be stopped lest our children be enslaved. Big difference.


Another good tweet
When we didn’t get the outcome we wanted in 2016, we marched peacefully & got organizing to empower voters.

When they didn’t get the outcome they wanted in 2020, they brought nooses & ransacked the Capitol. Then they threatened to blow it up.

scant — I don't think you know what that word means?

lets see already printed up t-shirts, many stayed at a certain hotel near the white house, there were tweets about organizing buses, someone paid the fees, etc for the rally… yup scant coordination what's so ever…

i believe the argument there is that the organization was for the rally at the Ellipse… that part was organized.  the march on and attack of the Capitol was, supposedly, unorganized and spontaneous.

Well I will concede this is a little true.  I believe that the majority of the Stop The Steal attendees had no plan or intention on 'stormin the capitol'

But there were definitely operators who were planning this and using the crowd for chaos and cover
as well as the gray area of telling an angry mob to head towards a joint session of congress was 'trial by combat'

that they didn't stop, beat up CapPol is inexcusable and should be punished as a terroirst
I still believe there would have been a live execution of Peloisi, Pence or AOC (or any one…even cruz/rubio/hawley) if they had cornered them…just sheer luck they didn't get to them

It's not common for the FBI and Sidehatch to see eye to eye on issues

I really don't think this is a good idea

What exactly is to be gained by doing that?

hopefully a check big enough to retire in an isolated place
but exactly my point

obviously it's to drive viewership and sell ads

i have to assume they're going to hide his identity… lester will be interviewing a shadow, or a voice on the phone.  because going public with his identity would be just plain stupid, and dangerous.

this could get interesting
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is seeking a trove of documents and communications from the Trump administration,
The letter asks for documents and communications from within the White House “relating in any way” to former first lady Melania Trump; three of the former president's children, Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.; son-in-law Jared Kushner; as well as any member of Congress or Hill staffers.

The letter also asks for the National Archives to turn over communications with all of Trump’s top aides, including former chief of staff Mark Meadows, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, Hope Hicks, Stephen Miller and Kayleigh McEnany.

The Jan. 6 panel is also seeking White House communications with other key names in Trump’s orbit, including Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Trump’s onetime attorney Rudy Giuliani and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.

apparently, a few GOP reps and senators are nervous that the Jan 6 committee is also requesting their phone records.  might show that they were in contact with the insurrectionists beforehand.

tours of the Capitol given to "constituents" in the days before Jan 6 are also under investigation - personally i can't wait to learn more about those.

not sure why melania is caught up in this.  hopefully there is a good reason, otherwise could come across as vindictive and petty.

Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt during Capitol riot breaks silence: 'I saved countless lives'
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Lt. Michael Byrd said he opened fire only as a “last resort” after the rioters failed to comply with his commands.
