  1. There will never be a united country as long as he or people like him are leading the republican party.

    >According to Stand in the Gap the “unforgettable evening” is being held to “honor and celebrate the twenty defendants who contributed to the powerful Justice For All song,” along with “all J6 defendants who have shown incredible courage and sacrifice.”

    Un FUCKING BELIEVABLE

    “Greatest Sporkfeet goes to MTG!”

    “Fastest runner goes to Haulin’ Hawley!”

    “Most Dead goes to Ashli whatever-her-name-is!”

  4. Hey, quick question, are you going to get day passes for the ones that are in jail? Asking for a friend.

    And note, this is before he get sentenced. Once the sentence is handed down they won’t be able to consort with known felons.

  5. Trump has given up on trying to win power with votes. He’s going to try to win power with violence.

    Man that’s gross.

    The whole reason he’s doing this, and praising these people at rallys and calling them heroes and political prisoners and patriots is to message to his base. He wants them to know that if they do this again this year, they will get similar treatment from him.

    This needs to be upvoted and rammed down the throats of the “undecided” voters. It’s despicable that he’s supported them but this is such a brazen act of defiance that will backfire on him if the media actually covers it.

    And his campaign managers told him this was a good idea? I think they might be sabotaging him 😂

    It’s funny that he embraces Jan 6th because even conservative pundits agree it is the most damaging thing for his current campaign. Jan 6th is probably the biggest reason that created so many never Trumpers.

    When I first saw a mention of this planned event, it struck me as so ludicrous that I wondered if it was an AI smear of Trump. Silly me. In hosting this event the GOP candidate is embracing treason, mocking the rule of law, celebrating political violence. I hope and trust that the brilliant Harris campaign will shine a bright light on this planned event, which shows just how anti-American and unpatriotic Trump’s party has become.

  11. Trump is out on bail and he is forbidden to hang out with other convicts. Revoke his bail!!

  12. This election feels different to the previous two in the sense that there really is no excuse whatsoever.

    In 2016 Clinton’s campaign was genuinely flawed, and Trump sprung a surprise result with assistance from multiple foreign intelligence services.

    In 2020 he had control of all the levers of power granted by the presidency and attempted to use them to the full extent he could to retain power, lawfully or not.

    In both cases the corporate media did their best to obfuscate how truly awful Trump is.

    They’re still doing that, but it shouldn’t matter, because Trump himself is making no attempt whatsoever to hide how awful he is. There’s no ‘Biden old’ figleaf to hide behind. Anyone who votes for Trump, or enables his enormities in any way, does so in full knowledge that he intends to destroy American democracy, and can’t reasonably pretend otherwise.

    I’m loving this. It’s quite possibly the worst thing he could do. 

    His shitty dementia brain is doing him so many favors right now. 

  14. I thought convicted felons weren’t allowed to associate with other convicted felons.
