    And this from the Oath Keepers trial yesterday:

    Prosecutors detail Oath Keepers’ mounting frustration with Trump as Jan. 6 approached
    Far right group was ready for a bloody battle in Washington, hoping Trump would invoke Insurrection Act.

    Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers, grew increasingly frustrated before Jan. 6, 2021 that Donald Trump had not taken even more extreme measures to seize a second term.

    Messages displayed by prosecutors Thursday showed Rhodes — who littered his voluminous text messages with a stew of conspiracy theories — venting his disappointment with Trump’s refusal to invoke the Insurrection Act, a move he believed would permit the Oath Keepers to take up arms to prevent Joe Biden from taking office.

    This judge has no control of her courtroom. If she has the authority to direct the dude to call his witness, she needs to have the authority to levy a consequence for his non-compliance.

    Because people (the media included) refuse to call the fascists out for what they are. As long as the have the cover of the republican party, and people keep treating them with kid gloves, it will only get worse.

    Combination of the things

    - Lack of intelligence
    - Hate the left
    - Feel like they (finally) belong to a group
    - Enjoy being an outcast

    This is the Dunning-Kruger trial

    I've read the judge is being extra patient because they want to limit his grounds for appeal? It's kind of a given he will lose utterly

    Fuck Clarence Thomas! Lindsay Graham needs to honor his subpoena before the Georgian grand jury. The Supreme Court is not a tool for partisan free passes.
