Think FISA court on steriods, and aimed at typical citizens for their political views.
A lot of Americans are this stupid.
A lot are not.
This mess at the Capitol on Wednesday was a set-up.
The ‘patriots’ who fell for it made a huge mistake.
Is tearing up a State of the Union speech inciting?
Yes, it was.
Yet still no back last with blmantifa
I keep hearing about a mob of terrorists storming the Capitol building, but for the life of me I have yet to receive clarification as to which side of the chamber doors they stood?
Stealing a Presidential election is Domestic Terrorism
Democrats just making a self-fulfilling prophecy.
and Leslie/Logan Grimes is not a “domestic terrorist”:
8 Jan updated 9 Jan: Detroit News: Prosecutors won’t proceed with charges against Michigan woman arrested during Capitol insurrection
by Riley Beggin
Prosecutors decided for now not to proceed with charges against Leslie Grimes, one of the six Michigan people arrested during the insurrection at the Capitol on Wednesday, according to a District of Columbia official with knowledge of the situation.
Grimes’ father, Robert Grimes, told The Detroit News she was wrongfully arrested near a pro-Trump insurrection, which unfolded from a protest she and her Grand Rapids-area friends attended as counter-protesters.
Grimes was identified by the police as Logan Grimes when arrested. Grimes is a transgender woman who uses feminine pronouns, according to her father.
After spending a full day in a Washington, D.C., jail, Grimes headed back to Grand Rapids Friday, her father said. The 54-year-old Cadillac man said his whole family is opposed to the sitting president, and it’s been “horrible” to see his daughter’s name associated with violent acts committed in President Donald Trump’s name.
Now that she’s been released and a new presidential administration is around the corner, the elder Grimes said he’s “hoping the poster child for chaos in America can just go somewhere and hopefully a lot of this starts to diffuse. And I’m hoping Leslie gets the chance at breathing room.”...
The younger Grimes was arrested a few blocks north of the White House, just under two miles from the Capitol building under siege. She was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, carrying unregistered ammunition and carrying a large capacity ammunition feeding device — which Washington, D.C., law describes as a “magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device” that’s capable of accepting more than 10 rounds of ammunition...
But that gun and ammunition didn’t belong to Leslie, her father said — in fact, she didn’t know it was there until the police discovered it.
If convicted, Grimes’ charges could have put her behind bars for up to nine years or cost her more than $27,000 in fines.
While the charges against her could still be pursued in the future, local law enforcement is facing the enormous task of tracking down the hundreds of rioters who ransacked the U.S. Capitol building, most of whom were allowed to leave without citation.
The other five people from Michigan were charged with breaking Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s 6 p.m. curfew implemented as the rioting unfolded on the Hill. One was also charged with unlawful entry.
The group Leslie drove with to Washington had discussed bringing a firearm “as protection,” Robert Grimes said, but “one of the individuals misled some people” and didn’t tell the others that they had packed a gun in the trunk.
A Trump supporter near the site of the original protest kicked Leslie in the chest, knocking the wind out of her, Grimes said. Her friends picked her up and they fled in the vehicle, which was pulled over, he said. When police discovered the weapon, Leslie took responsibility for it, the father said
The friends “got away scot-free,” Robert Grimes said. “I raised my daughter to show accountability and be truthful.”
Leslie Grimes could not be reached for an interview Friday evening.
***Leslie Grimes works on films and was in the city with her friends to protest against the Trump supporters and document the demonstration, Robert Grimes said. Leslie attends Black Lives Matter protests and is “out there campaigning for what (she) believes in. But (she) didn’t destroy any property, didn’t cause any problems.”...
Leslie Grimes and her friends have gone “to a number of these events all over America saying, well, ‘If they’ve got a right to scream and yell, we’ve got a right to say we disagree with you,’” Robert Grimes said.
Leslie’s arrest and release came as a climax to years of disillusionment with the state of American politics for Robert Grimes, who shuttered the comic book shop and non-profit he ran with Leslie due to financial strain related to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said many who came into his shop refused to wear a mask and lashed out at him.
“And then the last Facebook post we saw from (her) said (she) was heading to D.C. We were mildly concerned, but we didn’t think the president of the United States would launch an insurrection.”...
He said he’s dealt with backlash in the northern Michigan town due to the family’s political beliefs and, now, for the news reports about Leslie’s arrest. For him, it’s emblematic of a deep rift that’s far from healing.
“This is wrong. Michigan needs to grow up. America needs to grow up. America was built on diversity. Live with it, deal with it, be a good person.”

And in NYC, Blasio fueled the flames by painting BLM on the street IN FRONT OF TRUMP TOWER.
The Dems are NUTS and they are anarchists.

still not sure who this failed actor is either! some odd bits in the following, but conspicuously absent is any mention of his attendance at “climate change” protest - see second link:

Arizona Republic also conveniently omitted the “climate” protest when writing about Angeli/Chansley post-Capitol.

I remember a general making a speech in suit and tie after me graduating from the NCO accademy. He said he was pretty much useless and the NcOs were the back bone of the forces.... and he could have added that most politicians and commanders in chiefs are the weakest link of this weak link in the forces...
It might take some times, but while a citizen revolt is bad enough, it would behove on the police and others to really start thinking seriously about their pensions in the hands of police defunding Biden et al...
Just saying. It is almost pointless to politically protest for any of these presidents. I only protest for Trump on principle of the liberal-Rino Bs. But, bottom line, anyone campaigning in our days are far removed from the Jefferson riding horses leading troops to fight the Brits.
