In or about 2017, Jack Posobiec told his followers that he “worked closely” w/ the Oath Keepers. (h/t @michaelehayden.bsky.social) More recently, he’s glorified Francisco Franco, Spain’s deceased murderous dictator. Naturally, Trump included him in his recent anti-“antifa” roundtable. Sound on. 1/

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Of course the post was deleted. I'm sure it was quite incriminating.

As I learned after Breonna Taylor was killed, it all depends on what the prosecutor presents & then how they direct the GJ.
They omit much.

Maybe they do have lines they won't cross. Or, maybe he sees it as a bargaining chip. OK has done horrible things to their EDU - (probably other stuff I don't recall at the moment) ... only time will tell. Fingers crossed tho.

I was wondering if "Antifa" would be pardoned. Couldn't bring myself to looking up & reading the pardon.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

? I suppose in an effort to not be accused of "misleading headlines" some news outlets just aren't using them anymore.

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

They chose an awesome picture of him!
And remember folks, they tried to silence him as he was advocating FOR women's health/ abortion rights - HE is a true civil rights fighter.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”
