Everyone should listen to the Podcast where Hank Johnson implores the Democrats to treat Trump supporters like "Negroes". His word. Not mine. This is a kind of retributive justice meant to terrorize us and they feel completely justified in doing so. Oddly enough, I used to be a straight ticket Democrat voter my entire life until last year. It started to seem obvious to me that the visceral loathing for Trump in the media and among the Democrats was a kind of emotional metonymy like how people say "The White House" meaning "The President". In other words, they are coming for all of us. The point is the destruction of constitutional rights and the idea of citizenship. Trump was just the first example. The sad thing for America is that right now half the country believes they are enlightened, saintly and above reproach but it's obviously going to be a fire that consumes everything. No one is stopping it. The next fascist leader of humanity will very likely be an insane black lesbian absolutely certain she is leading humanity to a new dawn of prosperity as she annihilates billions of people on behalf of... who? Who is all of this being done for? So, now I am a Trump supporter 100%. We are all Trump.

The crazy thing is that people think this kind of behavior only started after the War on Terror began. I can think of several prominent examples of the occurring since the early 1920's. See every once in a while, Mr. Federal Government needs to swing his authority boner around, lock up some innocent people, and pretend that he saved the country. Then the legal system usually gets involved and releases them after their lives are ruined, but not always.

1. 1920's labor disputes?

Feds: "We just saved the country from Bolsheviks!" Judge: "Half these people don't even know what Communism is. You violated their Constitutional rights! Release them immediately!" Feds: “So hypothetically, what happens if we already shipped them back to Eastern Europe?”

2. 1960's hippies?

Feds: "We just saved the country from dangerous degenerates!" Judge: "Look the only thing these people are a danger to is personal hygiene. I'm letting them go." Feds: (sad face)

3. 1960’s black militants?

Feds: “These negros pose a danger to this country!” Judge: “You are absolutely right!” (Hey, it was a different time.) Feds: (happy face)

4. 1990's Ruby Ridge?

Feds: "This man is a dangerous white supremacist who murdered federal agents!" Jury: "...and you are free to go." Feds: (sad face)

5. 1990's Waco?

Feds: "Uh, whoops?"

6. 2000's War on Terror?

Feds: "This young Jihadist was planning on murdering Americans! No, we were not involved in the planning, recruiting, or financing for this plot. Why do you ask?"

7. 2010’s Bundy Standoff?

Feds: “These men are dangerous paranoid militia members who are crazy enough to believe that we have them under 24-hour sniper coverage!” Judge: “These documents show that they actually were under 24-hour sniper coverage. Anyway, I am dismissing the case with prejudice.” Feds: (sad face)

8. 2020’s Governor Whitmer Kidnapping Plot?

Feds: "These crazy right wing nut jobs were planning on kidnapping the governor! No, we were not involved in the planning, recruiting, or financing for this plot. Why do you ask?"

9. 2020’s January 6th?

Feds: “Oh boy here we go again!”

What's particularly interesting is you have a variety of actions taking place on that day. In one area, a woman is breaking glass and gets shot in the neck and dies, there's video of LEO's being assaulted while in another area of the campus, police remove the barriers and waive people in...later casually ask people to leave, and they do. Absolute chaos/confusion. I think some people were there to create mayhem and others were simply protesting perceived voting irregularities. That day defies a simple explanation. Some peacefully walked in and out, others got tear gas launched at them. I have not yet seen a single example of anyone armed with a weapon (other than LEOs) but perhaps I missed that part.

I still need to read this piece, but I have to quickly comment that I don't for the life of me see what's so bad about that photo, even if it is Pelosi's desk, even if journos didn't ask him to pose there. Why am I so drastically out of touch with the sensibilities of the loudest in this nation? I just don't get it.

My neighbor is a staunch liberal Democrat who just told me she thinks Simone Biles has really opened up the conversation about self care and mental illness in this country and it’s wonderful.

She is a Nazi. I am not exaggerating. She is no different from a Party member in 1936 and she thinks what’s happening to the insurrectionists is just fine.

Absolutely disgusting. God do I hope Democrats who're sensationalizing Jan 6 get exposed for the scumbags they are.

Just sitting here thinking about how I got this in depth interview of the lawyer for one of the most recognizable Jan 6 defendants from independent Substack journalist Michael Tracey and haven’t even heard a WHISPER about this from the “mainstream” “legitimate” media sources who I’m supposed to take more seriously.

This was an “insurrection” and as bad a threat to our democracy “as the civil war” but I read easily the most informative and unbridled information about the status of these people from…exactly none of the sources I’m repeatedly told I can only trust.

Thank you MT for doing, ya know, actual MF journalism. Easiest $5 a month I’ve ever spent.

Michael, to your knowledge, has anyone investigated all of these police “suicides?”

They should put Bill DiBlasio on the case. He lets felons out of jail because covid.

This entire thing is an embarrassment - this clumsily orchestrated false flag is what they'll use to rewrite the code so they can arrest whoever they want. Then contempt is for the CNNMSNBCNYTIMES crowd who laugh and cheer because of the Orange Guy was 'responsible'.

If America is an 'experiment', then the final grade at the end of the science fair is an F.

Don't worry, the lawyers will save us. /s Statistics show that liberal judges incarcerate black people for far longer terms for the same crimes. They claim its because they can't afford lawyers, as if that's a legitimate excuse. So much for elite liberalism.

I really hope that his description of what is happening to detainees is hyperbole.
