Trump’s egregious (repeat) lie about Jan. 6 in the new NBC interview he walked out of: “They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI: ‘Go into the building.’”
There’s precisely no evidence this happened. DOJ’s inspector general found that the FBI had zero undercover agents in the Capitol crowd. Kash Patel has himself debunked a Trump-promoted conspiracy theory on this subject, saying FBI agents were merely deployed to do crowd control after the police declared a riot.
And of the dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who tried a “the cops let me in” defense, just one (1) was acquitted. Even in that case, the acquitting judge said that though the defendant reasonably believed he was being allowed in, the officers in question were actually overrun by the crowd and standing back reasonably and responsibly, not explicitly encouraging anyone to enter. (And they weren’t FBI.)
You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....
I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸
I voted for Donald Trump because he felt like the lesser of two evils.
I didn’t want Joe Biden or Kamala Harris continuing what I believed was corruption and chaos.
Trump promised no new wars.
He promised to end wars.
He promised America First.
That’s why I supported him.
But now?
We’re watching conflicts escalate.
Billions sent overseas.
Military aid flowing to Israel and Ukraine.
Meanwhile Americans are struggling to buy groceries.
Veterans are homeless.
Families are drowning in debt.
Where is America First?
I didn’t vote for more foreign entanglements.
I voted for peace.
I voted for prosperity at home.
That’s why I’m disappointed.
That’s why I’m upset.
And that’s why I can’t support him anymore.
TILLIS: "I think Stephen Miller has demonstrated, he too, is out of his depth..."
TAPPER: "Do you think Stephen Miller should go?"
TILLIS: "Oh, of course I do."
Based Massie nails it once again. 🎯
“The Ayatollah was not a president … the United States and Israel turned him into a martyr. And in the process of doing so, we’ve already expended billions of dollars.”
Believe it or not, one can criticize Trump & it doesn’t mean they:
1)Didn’t criticize Obama
2)Didn’t criticize Biden
3)Is a Democrat
4)Hates America
6)Is “with the terrorists!”
It means they are capable of critical thinking & don’t allow personality to preclude principles.
AMERICA ONCE IMPEACHED A PRESIDENT FOR HAVING CONSENSUAL SEX WITH A WOMAN... BUT THEY WON'T IMPEACH A PRESIDENT FOR HAVING NON-CONSENSUAL SEX WITH CHILDREN... MULTIPLE CHILDREN.... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA 😡😤
It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
Colin Jost, SNL on the firing of Kristi Noem: “Imagine being singled out as the worst person on Trump’s Cabinet. That’s like someone coming up to you at a party and saying: ‘We think you should leave, you’re making Diddy uncomfortable’. ”
