In one message sent in the days after the election, she urged the chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to “release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down,” invoking a slogan popular on the right that refers to a web of conspiracy theories that Trump supporters believed would overturn the election.

In another, she wrote: “I can’t see Americans swallowing the obvious fraud. Just going with one more thing with no frickin consequences.” She added: “We just cave to people wanting Biden to be anointed? Many of us can’t continue the GOP charade.”

The contents of the texts were reported earlier by The Washington Post and CBS News. They were among about 9,000 pages of documents that Meadows turned over to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The texts detailed Meadows’ interactions with Republican politicians as they planned strategies to try to keep Trump in office in the weeks before the riot.

The committee obtained 29 texts between Thomas and Meadows — 28 exchanged between Nov. 4 and Nov. 24, and one written on Jan. 10.

Did Clarence not control his woman hard enough? He needs to beat her and slap her around a little? Spank her disobedient ass with a hairbrush!

Progressives, take us back to the 1950s.

And so? An American citizen is not entitled to speak his/her mind to ANYONE because they might be married to a public official?

If you wanna ask questions about SC Justices and stuff how about autopsying Justice Scalia’s body? Oh wait! Can’t do that. Cremated - just like Mary Jo Kopechne the day after she died.

Don’t you know? Progressives want a man to keep his woman in line. Keep that pimp hand strong. She should flinch when you walk in and never do things without talking to her man first.

That’s interesting.
Back then it was very uncommon for a Catholic to be cremated.
