It was stopped by a single person on a bicycle.

Wanna see the video?

The followup video is fantastic. And like...isn't he unintentionally helping them achieve their goals? And they're...still seemingly upset?

What a champ, though.

All I could think of was Mumen Rider from One Punch Man. No powers, but will to risk and give his life for a just cause.

Witness Claims Trump’s Chief of Staff Was on Phone Call Planning Jan. 6 March on Capitol

Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff and a national campaign spokesperson were involved in efforts to encourage the president’s supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. That’s according to a person who says he overheard a key planning conversation between top Trump officials and the organizers of the Jan. 6 rally on the White House Ellipse — and has since testified to House investigators about the phone call.

Trump and his allies have tried to minimize his role in calling his supporters to the Capitol and argue he was simply participating in a lawful, peaceful demonstration.

Scott Johnston — who worked on the team that helped plan the Ellipse rally — says that’s just not so. He claims that leading figures in the Trump administration and campaign deliberately planned to have crowds converge on the Capitol, where the 2020 election was being certified — and “make it look like they went down there on their own.”

Johnston, who says he described the phone call to House select committee investigators, detailed his allegations in a series of conversations with Rolling Stone. Johnston says he overheard Mark Meadows, then-former President Trump’s chief of staff, and Katrina Pierson, Trump’s national campaign spokesperson, talking with Kylie Kremer, the executive director of Women For America First, about plans for a march to the Capitol. Johnston said the conversation was clearly audible to him since it took place on a speakerphone as he drove Kremer between the group’s rallies in the final three days of 2020.

“They were very open about how there was going to be a march. Everyone knew there was going to be a march,” Johnston says.

According to Johnston, Meadows, Pierson, and Kremer discussed the possibility of setting up a permit to make the march from the White House to the Capitol official. He says the trio decided against officially permitting the march, citing concerns about security costs and about the optics of a sitting president organizing a push towards Congress as lawmakers certified his loss in the 2020 election. Ultimately, Johnston tells Rolling Stone, they planned to “direct the people down there and make it look like they went down there on their own.”

Kremer phone records sopena soon?

Kremer phone records sopena soon?

Now that the DoJ is involved, I expect we'll hear less of the day-to-day proceedings. We hear everything the House asks for, the DoJ not so much.

In a reasonable world, the current target would be Meadows. We'll know if that's the case when Trump disowns him in public.

Once again, it's time for Guess the Speaker!

Today, I unveil my pledge to America to fire Mitch McConnell. If elected to the Senate, I will not vote for Mitch McConnell for leader, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that Republicans choose a conservative to be leader. America can’t afford a Senate leader who is a weak-kneed, debt junkie, open-border RINO Republican, and who, worse yet, sells out America for special interest group cash.

That's cult member Rep. Mo "Betta" Brooks from Alabama, possibly upset that McConnell is an actual Republican and not a Party of Trump member, possibly upset that McConnell is a Senator not a Representative and I don't know what he plans on doing honestly, and possibly upset both Alabama and Auburn choked and got upset before the Sweet 16.

We knew the war was coming. It's just time for everyone to pick a side.

How's Trump's party doing? Well...very Trumpian -

Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, now a leading Republican Senate candidate, was physically abusive and demonstrated such “unstable and coercive behavior” that steps were taken to limit his access to firearms, according to new allegations from his ex-wife revealed in court records on Monday.

The sworn affidavit from Sheena Greitens is part of an ongoing child custody dispute in Missouri. A public affairs professor at the University of Texas, she sought divorce from Eric Greitens after a sex scandal which led to his resignation as governor in June 2018. She's now asking the court to move the custody case to Austin in part to spare her children from renewed public attention as Eric Greitens tries to mount a political comeback.

...

In the affidavit, Sheena Greitens casts her ex-husband as someone who threatened to use his political connections and influence in order to destroy her reputation to win custody of the children.

“Prior to our divorce, during an argument in late April 2018, Eric knocked me down and confiscated my cell phone, wallet and keys so that I was unable to call for help or extricate myself and our children from our home,” Sheena Greitens wrote in the filing. “I became afraid for my safety and that of our children at our home,” later adding that his “behavior included physical violence toward our children, such as cuffing our then-3-year-old son across the face at the dinner table in front of me and yanking him around by his hair.”

And yes, he used to be a Democrat. Used to be. He switched parties in 2015 after his extramarital affair with a hairstylist, which he was indicted on invasion of privacy charges for taking compromising images of her without her consent in 2018 on. Weird that he feels he has a better chance of winning as a Republican with this record than as a Democrat.

We now have Ted Cruz and Marsha Blackburn making passionate argument to drag America back to the 1950's. Fuck these theocratic authoritarian fucks and their desire to make all of America in the third world nation that most of their states/districts actually are.

Speaking of Ted Cruz, kek. He went all Karen after missing his boarding on a flight and the employees had to call security to calm his ass down.

I mean...is it really that weird? Oh sure, there'll always be Bill Clinton, but after Gaetz, Gingrich, Trump on his first wife with his second, Trump on his second wife with his third, Trump with his third wife in the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape, Trump with a literal whore, the seven people who voted for the Defense of Marriage Act that aren't listed yet and they're all Republicans, Giuliani he still counts, the Governator, and any toe-tapping in the mens' room, to always say "yes but Clinton--" every time is an admission.

Apparently, Trump's social media platform was down the 19th.

"Why are we just hearing about this now?"

Because nobody uses it and nobody noticed.

Oh, hold on, this is too good to pass up.

[Edge-]

The whole Truth Social thing is hilarious. People come for content, specifically Trump, and he's posted...once? Has he posted again?

They think Trump simply being on the platform is enough of a draw to make up for their comedic incompetence. And Trump doesn't want to be active on a "dead" platform so is likely waiting this out, which will result in lower engagement and signups since he's the only reason folks have to use that platform vs. Gettr/Gab/Frank and the other alternative social media grifts.

[Breccia]

Has he posted again?

No. Updated as of 22 minutes ago. While searching, I did find a rumor that he was going to meet Putin there. I didn't bother even clicking the link, it's obviously QAnon territory.

- - - Updated - - -

How's Trump's party doing?

He ain't giving up. Going with the "that bitch is crazy" defense.

Greitens, running for the GOP nomination to serve his state in the Senate, said in a statement on Monday that he will seek full custody of his sons, and that he will “pray for their mother and hope that she gets the help that she needs.”

“I will continue to love and care for my beautiful sons with all of being, and that includes fighting for the truth and against completely fabricated, baseless allegations,” Greitens said in his statement.

“I understand that while I was with my boys last week, she was in Washington, D.C. Sadly, political operatives and the liberal media peddle in lies,” Greitens added. “However, I have faith, and I know that ultimately truth will always prevail.”

An affidavit released on Monday from Greitens' ex-wife, Sheena, detailed the abuse she says she and her children suffered during her marriage to Eric Greitens.

Sheena Greitens recounted an incident where she said her ex-husband purchased a fireman, hid it from...

Wait, what?

Sheena Greitens recounted an incident where she said her ex-husband purchased a fireman

I am completely lost on this. Hold on.

Wait, here it is.

Sheena Greitens’ affidavit, however, offers a bleak picture of his waning days as governor. At one point, she said, Eric Greitens purchased a gun but refused to tell her where it was. He also threatened to kill himself “unless I provided specific public political support,” she wrote.

The behavior was so alarming, she wrote, that on three separate occasions in February, April and May 2018, “multiple people other than myself were worried enough to intervene to limit Eric’s access to firearms.”

Autocorrect is a handy feature but nothing beats proofreading.

Trump files an appeal for the civil NY case, on the grounds that because he's a criminal he should be treated like one.

No, really.

The Trumps argued that should James want them to testify, she should bring them before a state grand jury, in which witnesses can receive certain immunities.

Yeah, because Trump is facing both a civil and criminal trial, he's rightly concerned that something he says in the civil trial will be used against him at the criminal trial. So he's asking for the same protections every other criminal gets from self-incrimination.

He also claimed Witch Hunt.

These subpoenas followed an extraordinary and unprecedented barrage of inappropriate public statements starting in 2018 made by then-candidate Letitia James and, later, elected Attorney General Letitia James, in which she promised and threatened investigation and prosecution of Donald J. Trump and those closest to him.

Trump, of course, threatened to investigate Clinton to her face in the 2016 debates.
