My complaint this morning...

I turn on TV and caught tail end of CNN interview with Todd Blanche and he was explaining how the people want their taxpayer dollars used to pay those folks that the government abused during January 6th riots. A total flip of reality and the reporter did not press the issue.

If those folks were "victims", they were victims of the lies of Donald Trump. Todd Blanche seems to fit into that category also?

At Trump's direction, they ransacked the Capitol and violently attacked those policemen that were attempting to protect the Congress and the Senate from being injured or killed.

But it is a lie to say that they were not responsible or to say that Trump was not responsible.

Stop the friggin' lies!

these criminals prosecuted and thrown in jail. Trump's pardons don't change the fact these insurrectionists violently attacked the U.S. Capitol, killed police officers, threatened the lives of elected representatives, totally trashed and vandalized the halls of government, and attempted to overthrow a duly elected government.

He and others serving Trump are banking on the triumph of this fascist regime over Constitutional rule of law and democracy.

I want Blanche and the other fascist apparatchiks to be held accountable, so bad I can taste it.

At the very least, he should be disbarred.
