The shirt in question, worn during the campaign not necessarily on 1/6, was _Trump 2020: Fuck your feelings_. After the ‘gracious’ comments in 2016 I have been highly tempted to buy [this](https://www.skullridding.com/products/trump-lost-fuck-your-feelings-shirt). ---

Everyone grieves in their time and speed, but it’s been three years since her suicide-by-cop. I guess she is maybe stirred up by the folks who keep calling Ashli a martyr, but mom still traveled across the entire continent to assault someone. FA/FO. ---

Maybe she really was a Russian agent, however wittingly. From the second link in my above post: > Reade herself has faced questions about [her past writing](https://web.archive.org/web/20190404043945/https:/medium.com/@shewrites94/why-a-liberal-democrat-supports-vladimir-putin-f54ca2a3a405) praising Russian President Vladimir Putin. Reade on Thursday expressed concern to [Megyn] Kelly about having been “called a Russian agent” and said she had received a death threat from someone who “thought I was being a traitor to America.” ---

She’s either a true believer, or so compromised that her choices were Russia or prison. Neither option looks good on her, though. At least if she was a true believer, you could hope that a few months in a real police state might teach her a thing or two. ---

Apparently there is an actual audio recording of Trump after leaving office acknowledging he deliberately kept at least one classified record pertaining to intelligence on Iran and that he states he would like to share it but is limited in his ability to declassify it. It’s an admission he knowingly kept classified material and that he had not, in fact, declassified everything (telepathically or otherwise). That MFer did not learn one thing about audio recordings from Nixon. Or apparently about anything at all from anybody else. > **[EXCLUSIVE: Trump captured on tape talking about classified document he kept...](https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/31/politics/trump-tape-classified-document-iran-milley/index.html)** > > Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting where Trump describes a Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran. ---

Well, TBF, he’s gotten away with it _every single time in his life_, so far. What doesn’t seem to occur to him, and hasn’t since 2015, is that the President of the United States comes under a lot more scrutiny than he’s used to. ---
