You know that if Peters watched a video of a black man acting that way when he was arrested she’d be wanting to know why the cops didn’t just shoot him on the spot. I did really like “Let it Be” playing in the background after they went outside. ---

[Trump Supporter Faces Instant Regret; Forced To Provide Evidence For Fraud Claims](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_NIaD8prPY) The Damage Report: > A Donald Trump supporter and staunch election denier, Joe Oltmann, is begging for help after his refusal to provide evidence to back up claims and attacks surrounding election fraud conspiracies costs him big time in a Colorado judge order. The report says the denier is being fined $1000/day for defying the order to produce evidence. Serves him right. For years Trump, Rudy, Powell, Lindell, and others have been telling everyone there’s mountains upon mountains of election fraud evidence. Why not just produce it? Surely it would be simple to do to avoid the fines. SMH. ---

I mean, I just don’t — I don’t recall.” So Mike Flynn’s position is: - He didn’t believe the election was stolen; - He didn’t believe the election **wasn’t** stolen; and - He doesn’t remember what he believed.

Nicely summarized! 😆 Maybe he’s trying to emulate Mitt Romney, who during the 2012 campaign famously made the following statement: “I stand by what I said, whatever it was.” ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > The Republican candidate for president can barely fill half a gymnasium for a rally. Ha! My small high school graduation (~75 grads) probably had a larger audience. And, they had to issue a limited amount of tickets per graduate (for the first and only time, I believe) because our speaker was an alumnus who wrote a real business book in the '80s that went on to make this list (from Forbes), unlike _The Art of the Deal_: [The 20 Most Influential Business Books](https://www.forbes.com/2002/09/30/0930booksintro.html) People even from outside the school wanted to attend to hear him speak. ---

So a music festival to raise money for people with PTSD decided to have Kyle Rittenhouse appear as a special guest, they had several bands drop out. Finally they released a statement blaming the “woke mob” for their troubles and that they were able to secure a Slipknot cover band as their headliner.

In addition, I had never seen this body cam footage of her being arrested, and in light of her sentencing it is also a pleasure to watch. Part of the fervor behind the Trump cult is rooted in the belief that adherents can be Just Like Trump: do ANYTHING they want with no consequences. Tina Peters’ outrage at learning that this _ **simply is not true** _ is plain in her queenly demands that the cops stop the process of arresting her. She was doing Trump’s work! No one is allowed to interfere with that! Adult education indeed.
