7 Jan 2021 and beyond - the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol

Just about the only good thing Trump is responsible for is the “kicking over the stones” and revealing to the world what the Republican party and its base is really about. Not “small government”, “fiscal responsibility”, or “law and order”, but rather the bigotry, fear, hatred, and greed. The party base didn’t just magically change when Trump was being his Trumpiest. He just revealed the truth behind the lies.

Agree. And Trump fell ass first into that den of vipers. And they got a new viper.

Right. This isn’t North Korea. A reality-based existence is available to anyone who wants it.

Meadows has a subpoena as well. Jack smith moving along nicely.

Callback to about eighty posts back, regarding the Proud Boys rules:

And they’re okay with members being gay. Are gay members expected to remain celibate?

And if 'ya can’t get none, That’s why we have our monthly raping parties. Be sure to bring a ‘hot dish’ for the pot luck.

Modnote: You have a clean record and I’ll chalk this up to just a bad joke.
Rape jokes are not tolerated on the SDMB. Please, please do not do this again.

Offensive to many and makes many posters uncomfortable.

Oh sorry. Of course.

This is an interesting twist.

“Donald trump called on patriots to stop the steal. We’re calling on Donald Trump to take the stand,” said Norm Pattis, attorney for Proud Boy Joe Biggs.

“All I said was that the priest was troublesome. Everything they did in response to that is on them.”

Trump’s MO: all quid, no quo.

So are the Proud Boys witchhunting too?

They are part of the deep state too!

they have been going back and forth on this issue, they delayed the trial 2 days for arguments.

this trial is quite the wild ride.

Geez oh Pete, just how deep is this state? It should be coming out the other side or something by now.

#1. Norm Pattis, isn’t that Alex Jones’ lawyer?
#2. At first I read that as “Joe Bob Briggs” and thought “damn, I’ve often wondered what happened to that guy.”

Yes, as we discussed a week ago in this thread.

I thought I was feeling a little deja vu… :stuck_out_tongue:

His law license was reinstated pending the appeal of its suspension.

That moves him up the list for a Republican SCOTUS appointment in a few years!

Kevin McCarthy has shared 40,000 hours of capitol surveillance footage from Jan 6 with Tucker Carlson.

Batten down the hatches; we’re about to be swamped with a shit storm of disinformation. God help us.
