Another sign of autocratic decay -- when dictators start elevating their bodyguards to senior political positions. Criminal defendant donald did this often ... remember Tony Ornato and Matt calamari.
Hey Tony, who gave the secret service golf carts to the oath keepers and proud boys attacking the Capitol?
"FBI agents on Friday arrested a Canton man accused of pushing police officers and attempting to break into the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack."
"Investigators identified Clay Norris, 48, through photos and video showing him on Capitol grounds before breaching police barricades and telling other rioters to 'push forward' as they neared an entrance."
Remember, the judge ruled, to instruct the jury, that all of Fox’s statements were false. But Dominion still has the right to make its case. So they are going to present the statements, from their first opening, in all their lurid detail. Fox has to just sit there and take it.
Fox purposefully lied to Americans continually, knowing criminal suspect Donald lost. Fox helped him spread #TheBigLie and launch the insurrection.
This is not normal. This cannot become normal. We as a community, we as a society, we as a country cannot condone the normalization republican insurrection of the January 6 Capitol attack.
"The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that all participants in the January 6, 2021 siege of the U.S. Capitol can be charged with disorderly or disruptive conduct — even if they were personally not destroying property or acting violently."
When we talk about #Trump and his minions, we are talking about people who were willing to lie about the #2020election. We are talking about people who were willing to incite an #insurrection with the intent to stop the peaceful transfer of power. And we’re talking about people whose passion for Trump has only increased with every #indictment. It’s difficult to imagine that there is any line they will not cross.
"New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said he supports former President Trump despite believing he “contributed” to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol."
The Biggest Criminal in American History.
Twice impeached, adjudicated fraud, adjudicated sexual abuser-rape and defamation of victim, four times arrested and five times indicted Donald Trump. A bigot, a misogynist, a liar. He incited Americans to attack fellow Americans with his knowing lies.

It’s not coincidence that when demonstrably established misconduct by #Trump takes place (fraud, sex #assault, #insurrection, praising dictators, etc) media use language like “allegedly”, “accused by opponents of". When it comes 2 Trump feeding #media fundraising numbers that seem 2 B @ odds w/ objective data staring us in face (photos, #FEC reports, use of proceeds, etc) media reports what Trump tells them as fact. The media is broken & intentionally so
Trump said Fri that a Colorado woman #convicted of 4 federal misdemeanor charges related to the Jan 6, 2021 #insurrection l is a “patriot” & shared a link on social media where people can donate money to help defray her legal expenses.
#US#Judge Royce C. #Lamberth is the latest in broad, public push by #FederalJudges against #Jan6#revisionism [Another] #Republican-appointed judge said he plans to send a written response to supporters of a Jan 6 rioter who claimed that he did nothing wrong, warning the man’s friends & family members that justifying #PoliticalViolence risks further #violence in a “vicious cycle” that “rots republics.”
“January 6 must not become a precedent for further #violence against #political opponents or governmental institutions,” Judge #Lamberth wrote. “This is not normal. This cannot become normal. We as a #community, we as a #society, we as a country cannot condone the #normalization of the January 6 Capitol riot.”
Judge #Lamberth’s move is the latest in a wider public push by #FederalJudges in Washington to counter what polling shows is an uptick in public #acceptance of the #violent breach of the #US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, fueled by Trump’s escalating rhetoric casting defendants as “political prisoners” & “hostages” who did nothing wrong. #Trump has pledged to pardon #J6#insurrection defendants, including those who assaulted police.
UTAH "Payson man was arrested on Tuesday, April 2 in connection to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after prosecutors say he lunged at officers with a stun gun."
#Disney secured enough shareholder votes to defeat a challenge against its board mounted by #NelsonPeltz's hedge fund #Trian Fund Mgmt.
Enough votes were cast as of Tues night to put Disney's board of dirs safely ahead of Trian's 2 challengers, that included #Peltz & fmr Disney CFO Jay Rasulo, per sources.
#NelsonPeltz is the billionaire & #GOP#megadonor who on the day the #Jan6#insurrection, disavowed #Trump, calling it a “disgrace” & apologized for voting for Trump.
But earlier this month, #Peltz had breakfast w/Trump & other billionaires — including hotelier #SteveWynn, #ElonMusk, & fmr Marvel chair #IsaacPerlmutter — at Peltz’s “luxurious oceanfront mansion” in #Florida. Peltz then told the FT that he would “probably” vote for Trump in 2024.
"Former Trump lawyer and coup architect John Eastman can no longer practice law in California. The New Republic reported: It’s official: John Eastman, Trump’s former lawyer, can no longer practice law…"
Wake up, people. This is an emergency. This is what authoritarian thugs and terrorists do.Trump is targeting the President of the United States.
Thank you to the more than 1.5 million people who took the time to read this message. I am not leaving this alone. I write about coups. This life-size image of President Biden imagines the sitting president of the United States as a victim of an authoritarian takeover.
President Biden delivered a ferocious condemnation of criminal defendant Donald Trump, ahead of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, warning that Trump directed an insurrection and will aim to undo the nation’s bedrock democracy if he returns to power.
