๐จ#BREAKING: The ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 has just dropped out of the race...
...AFTER NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police CONFIRMED the attack was targeted specifically at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear." He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERING THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.
At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.
Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.
He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.
I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.
I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.
What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.
In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.
I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.
I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.
At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.
Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.
Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.
But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.
People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.
But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.
By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.
It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.
The calls to remove John Thune are getting louder... big accounts are chiming in now
Now is when we need the boss to get involved
Raise your hand โ๏ธ if you want @realDonaldTrump to ask Thune to step down... let Trump know... he will see this.. we need him.
@CallThisAgent If Senate Majority Leader Thune does NOT pass the SAVE America Act to go into effect for this November,
I promise to lead the charge to primary & defeat him in 2028.
@WWG1WGA_QQ Ha, ha, ha, ha! What a weird question!! Once reliable Tucker has gone full fringe after years of being deeply insightful. Is this a joke??!
@LeaderJohnThune@tolittletoknow Is this post a joke? Are you mocking us, the Republican base?
You've done more to help Democrats and stop Trump. You're fooling no one.
Sen @LeaderJohnThune Thune, you are completely out of touch with the Republican Base - and it looks like you go out of your way to Not Listen To Them.
The Base wants the SAVE America Act passed into law immediately!!
They also want you to pass the 50 or so other America First bills that the House sent to the Senate - But you and McConnell are sitting on all of it.
Quit blathering on and do what your constituents want!!
WE DONโT HAVE THE VOTES:
Senate Majority Leader Thune said they had a spirited debate on the SAVE America Act.
No, this is a fabrication โ not once did he force democrats to speak against voter IDโผ๏ธ
Thune said they donโt have the votes to nuke the filibuster.
๐If Leader Thune wonโt give us the SAVE America Act, then DEFEAT his top 2 allies โ Cassidy & Cornyn๐
Louisiana: ๐๏ธ Sat., May 16th
Texas: ๐๏ธ Tues., May 26th
@ScottHech You left out that heโs illegal and resisted arrest. You lie about the knife in his hand. Do kitchen workers have cell phones or knives in their hands?
