3. In case you are wondering who this midgetdick is...

Personal life
Tarrio grew up in Little Havana, a neighborhood in Miami, Florida.[16] He identifies as Afro-Cuban.[2][15] He has been married and divorced.[2]

In 2004, when he was 20 years old, Tarrio was convicted of theft. He was sentenced to three years of probation, community service, and ordered to pay restitution.[2] In 2013, Tarrio was sentenced to 30 months (of which he spent 16) in federal prison for rebranding and reselling stolen medical devices.[17][18]

Career
After 2004, Tarrio relocated to a small town in North Florida in order to run a poultry farm. He later returned to Miami.[2] He has also started a security equipment installation firm and another providing GPS tracking for companies.[2]

Tarrio owns a Miami T-shirt business,[4] known as the 1776 Shop, an online vendor for right-wing merchandise.[19] Slate described the 1776 Shop as a "freewheeling online emporium for far-right merch" that sells a range of Proud Boys gear including shirts stating "Pinochet did nothing wrong".[6]

Proud Boys
Further information: Proud Boys
Tarrio volunteered at a Miami event for far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos in May 2017 where he encountered a member of the Proud Boys who encouraged him to join the group.[2] In August 2017, Tarrio attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.[20] His stated intention for attending was to protest the removal of Confederate statues.[21]

Tarrio went on to become a fourth-degree member of the Proud Boys, a distinction reserved for those who get into a physical altercation, after punching someone who is believed to be an antifa member in the face in June 2018.[22] He assumed the role of chairman for the organization on November 29, 2018, succeeding Jason Lee Van Dyke, who held the position for two days, and Van Dyke's predecessor Gavin McInnes.[23][24]

Tarrio helped organize the End Domestic Terrorism rally held in Portland, Oregon, on August 17, 2019.[25] The event, co-organized by Joe Biggs, was framed as a response to the June 2019 assault on conservative blogger Andy Ngo.[26][27]

Political views
In regards to his views on extremist groups and ideologies, Tarrio has been quoted as saying, "I denounce white supremacy. I denounce anti-Semitism. I denounce racism. I denounce fascism. I denounce communism and any other -ism that is prejudice towards people because of their race, religion, culture, tone of skin."[28] In regards to his own ethnicity, he has said, "I'm pretty brown, I'm Cuban. There's nothing white supremacist about me."[20]

After Tarrio confronted and shouted expletives at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Coral Gables in late 2018, the chairman of the Miami-Dade Republican Party apologized and Senator Rubio compared the disruptors to the "repudiation mobs Castro has long ago used in Cuba."[1]

In 2018, Twitter removed Tarrio's account, amongst others related to the Proud Boys, citing how platform policy prohibited accounts related to violent extremist groups. The following year, another account created by Tarrio to evade the suspension was detected and removed from the platform by Twitter.[29]

Tarrio is a close friend of Roger Stone.[14] After Stone was arrested in January 2019, Tarrio appeared outside the courtroom in a shirt emblazoned with the message "Roger Stone did nothing wrong".[30]

Tarrio began a run for Congress for Florida's 27th district in 2020, but withdrew before the Republican Party primary. In his campaign's responses to a Ballotpedia survey done in 2019, Tarrio listed criminal justice reform, protection of the Second Amendment, countering domestic terrorism, ending the war on drugs, free speech on digital platforms, and immigration reform among some of his priorities.[3]

15. Yiannopoulos found his stepping stone to America in Gamergate

Yiannopoulos found his stepping stone to America in Gamergate, an online movement that claimed to campaign for ethics in videogame journalism while subjecting women in the industry to brutal harassment. Unlike older conservatives, Yiannopoulos understood what was bubbling up on platforms such as Reddit and 4chan: a new gamified form of hard-right discourse based not on ideas but on memes, harassment and “saying the unsayable”, driven by white male resentment toward minorities and so-called “social justice warriors”, the au courant name for political correctness. It didn’t matter that he had recently mocked gamers as “unemployed saddos living in their parents’ basements”. For Milo, Gamergate was an exciting new front in the culture wars and the career boost he craved.

5. Sounds like Twitler is meeting with his Sturmabteilung (SA) (aka Brownshirts)

Planning for their Night of the Long Knives....

This is dangerous

7. Another Michael Cohen prediction: "he will call up his militias"

[Grasswire2]

8. Timothy Snyder also has predicted something bad will happen.

Yale holocaust historian, watching carefully.

11. Wow

[Enoki33]

9. This terrorist group of misfits are capable of doing much more

than what they did in Portland OR. Suspect there might be a plan to create a more racially explosive situation in Georgia. Reverend Warnock has already been labeled as dangerous. That there was an invitation by tRump for a meeting should be ringing alarm bells everywhere. Trust Michael Cohen and Maryann trump when they say tRump will not go quietly. Now that he has almost exhausted his legal go to plans it is reasonable to assume his despotic short lived rule will be more pronounced. The man is mad, and in full revenge mode.

14. Someone should point out to Trump while he is still coherent enough to listen

The Supreme Court probably does, too, have an interest in voter fraud.

They just aren't interested in helping him perpetrate it.
