    Wouldn't they be the opposite of bootlickers?

    Or are you calling those that are making fun of these freedom fighters the bootlickers?

    Where else are they going to get their fix of staring at themselves in mirrors and very publicly ogling girls in yoga pants as they work out? This is the closest these INCELS get to sex, and you want to take that away? How rude.

    Wait, is that a joke because these guys are clearly meatheads, or was this really because gyms were closed?

    And holy shit, when they make the movie about this, Matthew McConaughey totally can play that one guy on the bottom left.

    This is why you'll never lead a 2nd civil war. It requires planning AND training. Hard physical training.

    And discipline.

    Trump took credit for FBI while attacking Governor Whiter in much the same language allegedly used by the terrorists.

    But she automatically believes fact-checked lies....

    Like, if you're gonna be a fucking idiot with no brain, then own it. But some are too stupid to admit it cause they got brainwashed and gaslighted so much.

    I am so thankful I can think for myself and have some semblance of logic and am on the right side of history.

    BARRY COUNTY, Mich. – Two men charged in the kidnapping plot against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer have ties to a Michigan sheriff.

    Suspects Michael and William Null who are brothers have been spotted protesting against Whitmer next to Barry County Sheriff, Dar Leaf.

    William Null was seen on stage with the sheriff at a protest against the governor’s stay-at-home order in Grand Rapids this May.

    Leaf says he has no regrets about sharing the stage with him.

    While being asked about the situation in an interview Leaf said, “It is just a charge, and they say a plot to kidnap and you got to remember that. Are they trying to kidnap? Because a lot of people are angry with the governor, and they want her arrested. So are they trying to arrest or was it a kidnap attempt?”

    Barry Croft, one of the six men accused of teaming up with a militia group to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, received a pardon last year in Delaware, The Detroit News reports. Croft, 44, was pardoned by Delaware Gov. John Carney last April for several charges dating back to the 1990s. The charges included possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, assault, and burglary. While he was also convicted of conspiracy, receiving stolen property, and disorderly conduct, the Delaware Board of Pardons recommended the pardon after he appeared before the board in December 2019. Carney then signed the pardon papers on April 4, 2019. “The charges brought in Michigan are disturbing and everyone charged in this plot should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Carney’s spokesperson told The Detroit News. “This is also another warning sign about the growing threat of violence and radicalization in our politics.”

    Croft, who owns a trucking company, is now in federal custody for his role in the scheme to overthrow the government and kidnap Whitmer. One of his former high school classmates told The Daily Beast he was “deeply disturbed” by the news. “I feel terrible that so much hatred exists and was sickened to hear of the news in Michigan,” the former classmate, who requested anonymity, said. “What makes me sad is how different someone can get in almost 30 years.”

    I'll bet he doesn't get pardoned again.

    If Trump loses, you'll see pardons all around the place.
