But putting people waving flags and taking selfies in solitary is okey dokey.

The ACLU files these suits in liberal cities. I suspect the cities allow the ACLU to win as a way of giving them taxpayer funding.

I think the whole point of the American experiment was never ever to trust government by men.

NONE of the more than 200 people arrested for rioting during Trump's inauguration were ever convicted of anything; most simply had the charges dropped, the few who went to trial were acquitted by friendly DC juries. And now they are rewarding some of them with big bucks.

This sort of thing - repeated over and over - is INTENDED to make us so mad that we will eventually rise up, which will be attributed to "white supremacy."

That's the plan, and it will be blamed on "white supremacists." The FBI is laughing at us; it has become utterly evil.

They hate you. Once you accept that everything makes sense.

The FBI and CIA have become the most USELESS organizations in government!! They haven’t been on top of ONE terrorist attack, ONE mass shooting NEVER solved the Las Vegas mass shooting as to WHY it was done YET in all of these they HAD BEEN aware of these people BUT DROPPED THE BALL!! The damn Russians handed them the Boston bombers on a silver platter YET they ignored the intel and ALL of those people died and were maimed because of their utter incompetence!! They were ALL OVER Elian Gonzales, Branch Dividians, and Randy Weaver people minding their own damn business doing NOTHING WRONG!! UTTER SCUM ALL OF THEM!!!

Have they found NAZI Pelosi’s laptop yet?
I bet it’s locked in a safe somewhere in the Caribbean just waiting to be exposed at the right time. Must be driving NAZI more insane than she was before the insurrection by her criminal regime buddies.

Spot on. I’m so embittered over the stolen election that I haven’t watched any news programs since the fake “ inauguration” I refused to watch one second of that farce.

You are absolutely correct in that the US Government is the enemy of the American people. That includes the treacherous Republican Party.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an exception. She’s an actual fighter. It’s sad how some cucks on this site degrade her.
