The founder of the Proud Boys claims he was invited for a meeting with Individual 1 at the White House this morning (the right is marching in Washington today). The White House claims that he was just there on a tour. But most people on White House tours don’t pose for photos on the front portico of the White House. I saw it on Twitter, but the only news agency I can see carrying the story is RT, so I’m not going to link to them. So, what is Individual 1 up to with the Proud Boys? A coup attempt? Targeted assassinations? Also, why are the Proud Boys marching in kilts? ---

There’s an unfortunate relationship between American white supremacists and Scottish culture. The burning cross, for instance, is an old Highland custom. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > I think all they are saying is everyone is entitled to their “day in court”, as it were - and the Supreme Court should not have the discretion to reject a case when the Supreme Court is the only venue for legal recourse. The point of their rejection is that there was no legal standing for them to sue, in other words, there weren’t any courts for which their complaint was a legal recourse. They had no ground on which to sue. It’s not about being scared, it’s about holding to the constitution and the fact that each state runs its own elections and other states don’t have a right to interfere. “My guy lost” is NOT proof of fraud. ---

I don’t think a special prosecutor has the ability to overturn an election. ---

That kind of ineffectual ignorance is the only thing that’s saved the country from complete ruin. If he spends half his time between now and Jan 20 trying to get a special prosecutor to overturn the election and the other half trying to get the governor of South Dakota to order his face carved on Mt Rushmore, things might turn out OK once the Secret Service hauls his fat ass out of the White House. ---
