I'd like to see the 274 FBI reports on the alleged J6 insurrection. Got to be reason they were kept quiet.
This story is being wildly misrepresented — these were not undercover agents embedded in the crowd. They were part of the multi-agency law enforcement response *after* the Capitol was attacked, as the documents themselves make clear.

In fact, the "bombshell" here was reported by the inspector general 10 months ago.

This isn’t at all surprising, that the right is once again trying to make a non story into a real thing for them to obsess over. It’s a pattern, every couple weeks some new false or misrepresented story comes out and the right buys it and runs with it.
Shorter Review of "The Pawnbroker" (1965) - don't watch unless you're a fan of 60s movies and/or Rod Stieger. It hasn't aged well.
"It’s a pattern, every couple weeks some new false or misrepresented story comes out and the right buys it and runs with it."
You guys tried to assassinate the president. You murdered Kirk. You shoot up ICE and kill immigrants.
You firebomb Tesla dealerships and ICE facilities.
BUT
Epstein!
’In fact, the "bombshell" here was reported by the inspector general 10 months ago.’
I’m sure it being released ten months ago really helped the J6 defendants. And did anything of political interest happen about ten months ago? Oh, yeah - a certain someone was elected to his second term as President! I’m sure it’s a coincidence…
Some pushback on the internet for the "I forgive them" by Erika Kirk. It should be noted that Rushing out to "forgive" criminals, murderers, war criminals, savage attackers, etc. is nowhere to be found in Christian society before say, 1900.
Has Christian scripture and text change in the last 100 years? I doubt it. I think people are forgetting that Jesus didn't say "Go, I forgive you". He said "Go, and sin no more".
In my opinion the correct way to treat Kirk's killer is " execute, then forgive".
Already I'm feeling sad that Biden is no longer POTUS. What class, what an intellect, what a giant. An American who could appeal to everyone. Unlike Trump.
Gosh, I stil remember cornpop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4exXNCsVBE0.
He was one bad dude.
No one but feds were wearing tactical gear... instigating and breaking windows.
media dutifully fill in coverage with added dark fake smoke.
Jan 6th committee - all pardoned. Wow.
Judge rules Mike Lindell defamed voting machine company; $1.5 billion in damages up to jury ~ Minnesota Star Tribune
He's building up one incredible resume for his run for the governorship of Minnesota.
“Judge rules Mike Lindell defamed voting machine company; $1.5 billion in damages up to jury ~ Minnesota Star Tribune”
The cost of a My Pillow will have to go up to pay for those damages, too bad he bought “Stop the Steal” hook, line and sinker, oh well.
Fuck you, Comey - you pile of shit.
I always hear trump is Hitler and blah blah blah,as soon as the name mentioned sides are drawn but if you look real close trump is a model of Franco
Trump follows many of Franco’s authoritarian tactics. Paint any swing to the liberal side of the aisle as a moral threat. Claim every institution is corrupt and every loss is rigged. Then erode the power of these institutions from within through loyalist appointments across the government and civil society. Also, depict any government resistance as unpatriotic and ungodly. And finally, cast themselves as the lone protector of their country.
And if this last point proves problematic, then manufacture crisis after crisis, distorting real-world conditions in your favor through misinformation, manipulation, and intimidation. The path of least resistance is to portray every real and potential enemy as a devastating option that would produce something far, far worse.
The consequences were dire. Franco ruled Spain with an authoritarian grip for nearly 40 years. His regime came to an end only when his hand-picked successor did something the general—and his loyal allies—could never have predicted: return Spain to a democracy. The autocrat planned to continue his regime by appointing Prince Juan Carlos, the grandson of the former king, as his successor. During the handover, Juan Carlos promised stability and continuity. But then he surprised everyone by swiftly legalizing political parties, appointing the reformist Adolfo Suárez as prime minister, and overseeing the creation of a new democratic constitution.
Within three years, Spain became a parliamentary monarchy with free elections and democratic rights for all Spaniards. It was a blessing, but one that came only after an autocrat succeeded in shaping Spanish life for two generations. And had Juan Carlos taken the more predictable step of holding on to power, Spain’s story could have played out far differently.
In the U.S. today, Franco’s rise stands as a stark warning to Americans about how Trump’s dreams could become reality. It’s a warning about how democracies can wither from within through any number of brutal tactics employed by a repressive leader who rules without restraint.
But an authoritarian government is neither a natural state nor an inevitability. It’s the result of millions of choices, both by the powerful and by the everyday people. Autocracy thrives on apathy and complacency, but even in dark times, people can accomplish the unexpected by choosing to take risks and fight back. Passivity is the enemy. Collective courage is the cure. We now have a totally spineless, useless Congress, a corrupt SCOTUS and a MAD hatter as a wannabee FRANCO. History tells many tales, blotting that out, and creating a "revised alternative" PART OF THE GOAL OF THE WANNABEES. The time is ripe,Svengali has cast his spell and the lemmings just follow over the cliff. My great grandkids will look back at this time(if it is allowed to be written) from another planet and say WTF was that...I'll be waiting for Final resurrection and will be interested to see what the original plan really was... When Jesus brings down the NEW JERUSALEM to earth and I am reigning with Him wont really be any need for answers then it will all be irrelevant. This is just MANS FOLLY.. I'll hope to purchase my new pair of ASICS for a few more marathons as I will have a newbody and my knees will be back and i'LL also pick up the DAILY RACING FORM for a little wager HERE AND THERE. Cmon LUCKY BOY ah yes my wonderful bi polar mind makes sure i'll never be lonely!!!
So Dinky: what you're saying is 40 years of Franco prepared unstable Spain for what's almost now 50 years of democracy?
And Trump is like Franco?
I am failing to see the downside here. CC, JSM
You can look at the comments on this thread and instantly see what amoral shits those on the liberal/left are. What are they for? Nothing, except power for the liberal/left.
On one hand - Trump's an authoritarian. Oh, muh freedoms!
OTOH, Lindell will be bankrupted and made to pay $1.5 billion for defaming a "voting machine Company. Serves that Rightwinger. LOL"
Never, ever trust the Left. They're all stalinist. They don't believe in anything except imposing their views on you. And destroying anyone who opposes them.
Kakinga: "“Judge rules Mike Lindell defamed voting machine company; $1.5 billion in damages up to jury ~ Minnesota Star Tribune”
This would be an excellent opportunity for my draft-MAGA technique. Trump can make Lindell an Army officer and Lindell can then postpone his civil case under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act. CC, JSM
Dinky's latest screed is lifted word for word from an article in Slate.com today.
It's almost like plagiarism is embedded in the Democrat psyche.

Kack, and dumbass Inga, I've been infiltrating violent leftist groups for decades. You have no idea how such operations go down. Just shut up. You have no credibility. Stop lying, or just be silent, you fools
This isn’t at all surprising that Inga is once again trying to make a non story into a real thing to obsess over. It’s a pattern, every couple weeks some new false or misrepresented story comes out and she buys it and runs with it.
This is literally all you do. It's your modus operandi down to the last word.
Oh yes and by the way did you notice the Emperor now starting to insert the word WAR into his nonsense so he can slowing mind fuk his minions and I believe claim there can be no MID TERMS because WE ARE AT WAR (like Zelensky told him at WH and his beany eyes lit up!! He has been granted immunity by the in the tank SCOTUS to do whatever he wants just claim its a duty of the job.
Portland residents scoff at Trump threat to send military: ‘This is not a war zone’
Claims of violence by US president contrast with reality of life in vibrant, peaceful Oregon city, residents say
A visit to downtown Portland, Oregon, on Saturday, hours after Donald Trump falsely declared the city “war ravaged” to justify the deployment of federal troops, made it plain the US president’s impression of the city, apparently shaped by misleading conservative media reports, is entirely divorced from reality. Ah as you can see this fella is also losing his marbles ,too old to senile and can't spell or read. He loves his new army now after bombing Iran ,killing the boat crews, its like a shark in the bloody water a kid and his toy soldiers. SECRETARY OF WAR umhhuummm
Dinky: thanks for the entirely falsified history lesson.
Also, the Lindell lawsuit is in federal court. Trump could simply order the US Marshal not to collect any payments from Lindell, serve any seizure warrants on his factory, etc. Why? Because we like you. M.O.U.S.E. Then it will be up to either the plaintiff or the District Judge to challenge Trump. Much bigger lift than kicking around an ex-druggie entrepreneur. CC, JSM
I mean lessons. Wonder why I use a real name and you use a fake one? Because I'm not afraid to stand behind what I say. And you are.
