And who were the terrorists working for?




No wonder McConnell, Trump, Fox News, and so on want no investigations.

Trump's pardon of Stone should not cover the 1/6/21 attempt to violently overthrow our democracy.

We need to clean house of these treasonous assholes.
Law breaking shits who think they know better then us and they can do whatever they want to inflect their rule on us.

Roger will sell 'em out in a heartbeat. I hope "they " have the phone calls from Roger and those shits.

And one for betraying his country.

And one for throwing people under the bus.

He's quite a Dapper Dan.

there's no doubt the Con himself not only condoned but encouraged these domestic terrorists to cause mayhem, murder division amongst our cities.

Here he is standing next to Dominic (“Spaz”) Pezolla, fellow pb, Jan 6



Better days, eh, Bobby

When I last read news of Pezzola (from jail) I guess in late Jan, he was full of remorse and regret and took full responsibility for his actions...curious to see if he has any tidbits to share with the Feds...

I wear shorts, tee shirt and tennis shoes. Maybe a single strap small back pack to carry ID and cash and phone. Never guns, mace, and other military hardware.
Guess I look pretty weird to tourist dependent businesses. Wondered why I was watched very carefully when shopping as a tourist.

The MSM coverage of the upcoming trials is going to be very painful for a lot of MAGAt politicians.

there should be indictments of that day's funders.
At the very least their names should be revealed at trials, or doxxed.
Many individuals spent their own money to get there, sure, but the organized groups got funding.
