.@SenMikeLee and Fox News host @IngrahamAngle both claimed the Patriot Affront march through DC on the Fourth of July was really an Antifa rouse.
That’s interesting. So Antifa dressed up in Patriot Affront uniforms and tricked the founder of Patriot Front, Thomas Rousseau, to lead their march. Now that’s some next level Antifaing!
Rousseau founded Patriot Front in 2017 following the rally in Charlottesville VA that resulted in the murder of Heather Heyer. He told Capital News Service in 2020 that “he believes Trump is a white supremacist who uses the same rhetoric as his group.” He added “It’s encouraging to hear him [Trump] call African countries ‘shitholes’ and say now and then that Mexican illegals are criminals and rapists, and sometimes he even utters some truth about the Jew.”
So, Senator Lee and Fox News host Ingraham say that the march yesterday (complete with confederate flags) that Rosseau led was Antifa disguised as Patriot Front. Hmmm? Perhaps it’s the other way around and it’s Patriot Affront that pretends to be Antifa (see article below).
If Lee and Ingraham had any integrity they’d tell the truth . . . the marchers in face diapers with confederate flags spewing hate and division are part of their own klan.

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen?
BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests.
BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool?
BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you and others in the media wanna keep questioning it
Hey @grok, im trying to draw a parallel here but can't quite land it.
Laura Ingram is doing a version of "the parties greatest command" from orwell
but a dumb-person's:
(1) attempt to do this orwellian technique with something so patently obvious as evidenced through the historical trace of the Proud Boys, as well as arrest photos; but also,
(2) the irrational logical chain: why would Trump's Intelligence apparatus not know about and disrupt this so-called antifa operation (and not a very sophisticated version of it).
And I'm trying to capture it in my standard roast form.
It's really escaping me this time. I need a good name for this
This is "Dumbthink": Orwell's "reject the evidence of your eyes and ears" but stripped of subtlety and self-awareness.
Laura's version: "Ignore the Proud Boys history, patches, and arrest photos. It's Antifa in Spirit Halloween gear."
The extra layer of dumb: pretending Trump's intel apparatus would miss (and fail to stop) such an unsubtle op.
Name it the "Costume Commandment." Or "Doublethink Lite: Antifa DLC."
@IngrahamAngle Oh look. The horse-faced hack who works for the network that paid $787.5M for lying claims they're Antifa. Just like she said the Jan 6th Capitol Building tourists Trump pardoned were.
Usha Vance just asked Trump if he has time to read.
Barack Obama: “Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible.”
Thomas Jefferson: “I cannot live without books.”
Donald Trump: “I usually read stories about myself”
Thank you to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their generous support of the @RIFoodBank and charity organizations across the country.
Wishing Taylor (and Travis of course) the wedding of their ~wildest dreams~, even if it’s not in the Ocean State.
RABBI SHMULEY IS GOING TO JAIL
This professional victim turned a simple Miami hotel lobby spat into a full-blown staged antisemitism attack on him. Then demanded cash donations and tried to extort the entire hotel.
The case is ongoing in court.
The Governor of Louisiana is lying.
The people of Greenland do not want to become part of the United States, and they have made that clear.
The future of Greenland will be decided by the Greenlandic people alone. For now, Greenland is a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Greenland does not trade with Russia. Greenland exports shrimp to China.
Instead of spreading false claims about Greenland, focus on your own state. Louisiana faces serious challenges with infrastructure, education, healthcare, and poverty, etc. Your time would be better spent addressing those issues than commenting on a country you clearly don’t understand.
Respect the facts. Respect the people of Greenland.
Shame on you.
Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson. The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence. Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction. Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval. Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her.
