Kamala is unpopular but it’s not clear what would happen if she was replaced by a white woman.

Of course not. Isn’t the persistent dishonesty from the government, media and scientific and educational establishments amazing? They’re so blatant it really is breathtaking.

My take:

(1) "Pence and Trump doing nothing." Case closed as far as Trump leading an insurrection is concerned.

(2) I wonder who the people were on the other side of those communications? Chances are that feds were among them.

Yes, the app is compromised. I’m surprised this got out.

I would think “militia” in the legal context would mean a group organizing and training with weapons for some illegal purpose. Not just a group who happened to have personal arms, irrespective of previous military or police training and employment.

An app for your phone called “Signal”. They claim it to be encrypted so no one can read or intercept your texts and phone calls. lol

<>The evidence against Rhodes was available months ago - why did they wait until now to charge him?<>

Wear him down. Anyone kept in gulag misery for a year will be physically and emotionally traumatized and prone to make a plea deal to stop the abuse.

I hope he pleads not guilty and has a lawyer ready to expose the criminality of the DOJ.
