I can well believe that mentally ill people may be particularly susceptible to QAnon-type conspiracy theories. Hell, how many times have we called these people crazy? Yes, the insanity defense can be wildly overworked, but I still think it’s important to take genuine mental illness into account, provided you have a credible diagnosis.

“Immunity and absolute power, bitches!
It’s all about ME!”


19 days until the disgraced, delusional, twice impeached, still in tantrum mode and denial of loss, unemployed, former government resident, squat and banned tweeter has his prophesied Mike Lindell messianic reinstatement coronation.​

Friday, August 13, 2021

Send copious amounts of money directly to Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.​

Nothing like sending your battle plans to the enemy!

I have no clue as to where are the tunnels are in the Capitol building. I suspect there are enough to house several hundred police officers, National Guard in relative comfort. These police and support could appear within 5 minute to 10 minutes.


I suspect that these insurrectionists will try something again in August. I have my doubts they will gain entrance to the Capitol building this time.

The Trump Campaign Paid More Than $3.5M To Jan. 6 Organizers
OpenSecrets.org reported in February that payments identified in Federal Election Commission filings showed that former President Trump’s 2020 campaign paid even more last year than was previously realized to people involved in organizing the Jan. 6 protests in Washington, D.C.

OpenSecrets unearthed more than $3.5 million in direct payments from Trump’s 2020 campaign, along with its joint fundraising committees, to people and firms involved in the Washington, D.C. demonstration before a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Recent FEC filings show at least three individuals listed on permit records for the Washington, D.C. demonstration were on the Trump campaign’s payroll through Nov. 30, 2020.

The Trump campaign paid Event Strategies Inc., a firm named in a permit for the rally that also employed two individuals involved in the demonstration, as recently as Dec. 15, just three weeks before the attacks on the U.S. Capitol. That’s according to the most recent FEC filings covering spending through the end of 2020.


OpenSecrets noted that the full extent of the Trump campaign’s payments to individuals involved with organizing the protests may never be known:

That’s because the campaign used an opaque payment scheme that concealed details of hundreds of millions of dollars in spending by routing payments through shell companies where the ultimate payee is hidden.

Trump’s 2020 campaign and joint fundraising committee, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, spent more than $771 million through American Made Media Consultants LLC, according to new data analyzed by OpenSecrets. The secretive limited-liability company was created by campaign aides and members of Trump’s inner circle to act as a “clearinghouse” to pay vendors, concealing the campaign’s transactions with those vendors.

From Why the Republican Party Doesn't Appeal to People, courtesy of @chicagosam :

Speaking of categories 1 through 4, subcategory: virulent rectal orifice…
GOP Senator Who Egged On Insurrectionists Introduces Bill About Loving America | HuffPost

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)…[…]…introduced a bill on Monday that he says is about promoting people’s love of America.

Go hump a flag, Josh. Be a real ‘Murican patriot like the disgraced twice impeached former autocrat you aspire to be.

Trump and his fascists, in typical Bizarro world fashion, have a PENCHANT from naming things that stand for or do the OPPOSITE of what anyone with a normal brain might THINK. Hence why Trump's "stop the steal" is an effort to do JUST THAT... STEAL the valid outcome from the people's will, and why MAGA actually made America much WORSE, and why Trump's Saturday "Rally to Protect Our Elections" was really about UNDERMINING them. Or as noted below:

On Saturday night, Donald Trump captivated his audience with a truly Orwellian performance. The event was officially titled, “Rally to Protect Our Elections.” But of course the 2020 presidential election only required “protection” from Trump and his allies — protection against voter suppression, widespread lies and subterfuge, an attempted coup against the certification of electoral votes and other attempts to undermine democracy and subvert the people’s will.

The horror and disgrace of the Republican Party’ will be on full display tomorrow: MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace

So it comes as absolutely NO SURPRISE that Josh, the treasonous a------wipe
who voted to outright OVERTURN the 2020 presidential election, WOULD introduce a bill designed to OBLITERATE TRUTH. And he is not ALONE:

A group of Republican lawmakers now want to openly defend the Capitol rioters - Alternet.org

White supremacists' favorite congressman will hold press event to discuss 'treatment of Jan. 6th prisoners'
House rejects GOP effort to seat McCarthy's choices for Jan. 6 select panel
House Republicans plot retaliations as Jan. 6 commission prepares for first witnesses
