The amazing thing is they don’t even know they’re fascist.

Most of them can’t even spell fascist, let alone define it.

This what happens when they were not charged with treason and instead given missionaries instead. They will just do it again.

Yes. This is exactly something I recently indicated to some friends.

Every single one of those Jan. 6th people did what they did for ideological reasons. Them going to jail for like two months didn’t remove those reasons, it cemented them.

While livestreaming on YouTube in the neighborhood, Taranto told followers that he was looking for “entrance points,” was going to find a way to the “tunnels underneath their houses” and wanted to get a “good angle on a shot,” according to court papers.

So the guy openly admitted that he was trying to access the Obamas' house and shoot someone. And all he gets is firearms charges. Our justice system is a joke.

Sometimes they have to start with the easiest charges just to justify holding him, and they will add the charges that are harder to prove later.

Firearms charges in DC may not have to prove the intent to do anything. Simply having the LEOs testify to what they found might have been enough for charges.

Fingers crossed this is the case here.

On firearm charges LMAO. You would think they would get something a little more serious than that.
