BrooklynDadDefiant: There's a whole lot of people today who are pretending to be patriots...

There's a whole lot of people today who are pretending to be patriots but couldn't be bothered to prosecute the attackers of January 6th.

Hypocrites, all of them.

of them were/are. "couldn't be bothered?" Not sure where this beef is pointed.

but then the tweet thoroughly muddles the waters (and message) by grousing "couldn't be bothered to prosecute" ....
Leaving us to wonder, who "couldn't be bothered?" Last time I checked, it looks like prosecutors are perfectly willing to prosecute. And politicians don't have that prerogative, so ... ? It just seems a curious, and off target, statement.

It might have been here on DU earlier today:

The people on Flight 93 died 21 years ago, but their actions likely saved our Capitol
Two decades later, another group of terrorists successfully attacked our Capitol.

Imagine how many people there are who pretend to be patriots and couldn't be bothered to solve Fermat's last theorem!

And don't get me started on the make-believe patriots who couldn't be bothered to perform brain surgeries!

Hypocrites, all of them!

twitter handle is left wing fluff for clicks. He posts to get clicks and likes. There is no inside info or anything of substance in his feed. It's like the Krassenstein Brothers were.

It makes no sense. 9/11 people are waving flags. Of course. Those same people may have taken part in 01/06. And they're refusing to prosecute themselves. Of Course. What is the substance there?

Why does the guy have so many followers??????????
