How deep does this go?

All the things that has happened since before the GOBers decided to tear apart our democracy. We have been in a tail spin of the way the news has been presented. Given the first media corporation to spews the rhetoric agenda against the Americans was Rush Limbaugh than came the others like Hannity, O’Reilly, Beck and others, but the most notorious ones Carlson. They all gave credence to the right wing political party and Trump! They were the voice against the way some people live their lives, which used to be sacred and justified. They were the voice of lies that made things worse for many. They were the propaganda outlet that many listen to.

Now with justice being served on the Proud Boys for conspiracy sedition. Will we finally see the ones behind the curtains pulling all the strings? That is the million dollar question! Hopefully we will? I feel that time will get the answers and those involved will pay the price. It may not go as deep as we would it too, but get who we can so it doesn’t ever happen again!

about the prick boys, were any names exposed during the trial of the people we know are behind all this?

To be clear I don't believe Donald Trump was involved in the organization of January 6th anymore than I believe he's involved in the process of building a hotel or a golf course, he's a complete ignoramus and couldn't possibly do any of those things. But of course he gave it thumbs up and helped in whatever way he could for it to happen. Someone else did the logistics, but he was the main supporter of it all.

it is my belief that the most fair, decent, patriotic and overall honest human being to ever occupy the White House would never allow his administration to indict his political opponent for very good reasons that are obvious about his fear that the country would be torn apart and that the Republicans in red states and on the Supreme Court would just flat out end elections and destroy the democracy completely if they haven't already.

since they started getting traction around the same time. Everyone elso on right wing channels and 24/7 winger radio copied them.

I still don't get how the US let's FOX/Murdoch get away with lying and dividing the country for years. It's just about sedition. He's a foreigner. Deport his ass and take him off the air.

After the Dominion revelations there should be a case for that.
