What, not a word from any Trump cultists, like Patrick Murphy (a disgrace to Irish people) or Montana Swill (a disgrace to people)? Let’s face it, when Fred Trump set up his 400 million dollar tax fraud, Donald was a willing participant. It was Fred’s idea, and Donald didn’t really understand the details. (Let’s face it: Donald is an imbecile and therefore doesn’t understand much of anything.) Yet, as a matter of objective reality, both could have, and (were there justice) both SHOULD have been convicted and sent to prison. Then we never would have had the “late unpleasantness” of January 6th………
Three things have happened in the last week that lead me to conclude that Republians both at the national level in congress and in the Q-verse are working towards fomenting a military coup. The 1/6 Putsch having failed, they realized that the military wasn’t sufficiently radicalized to overcome the inherent bias towards civilian leadership.
First, there was Ted Cruz’s widely panned retweet of Russian propaganda, targeted at a US Military advertisement that featured a woman.
Next, there was the combined effort of Tom Cotton and Dan Crenshaw’s recent website, where they invited members of the military to post their experiences with “wokeness” in the military.
And tonight, General Michael Flynn openly called for a military-style coup similar to what has occurred in Myanmar to a screaming crowd of Q-anon “patriot” loyalists.
1) The Republican Party is a fascist party.
2) Fascists grow movements through propaganda, racist and sexist wedge politics, and appeals to people’s worst nature.
3) None of us are the intended audience for this push.
We need to learn to see what they are doing, call it by name, and then push our government to respond with whatever force is necessary to stop them. Cotton, Crenshaw, and Cruz are all working on the political end of things to try and split the military away from their oath and devotion to civilian command in order to make them more open to participating in a violent coup.
General Flynn is pushing from the other angle, trying to normalize the idea of a military coup among the millions of screaming radicalized fascists he’s been cultivating for the last few years. Flynn’s specialty — his training and experience — is in psyops just like this. He is dangerous, he is not a madman, he is working the angles he knows how to work in order to overthrow a democracy.
Li’l Mikey Flynn was a disgrace to his uniform even before becoming a criminal—and, then, later becoming a traitor. True, he is not a “madman”, nor even an imbecile (which puts him far ahead of the average Trump voter.) Yet, he is without question a Godawful worthless piece of walking manure, who deserves to be locked up for the rest of his miserable life.
I think the darkened building is symbolic of all the Trump branded buildings where all signage has been removed or TRUMP TOWER that is no longer of any importance where his crooked bookkeeper got free rent.
Oath Keepers wanted antifa to attack Capitol so Trump could declare martial law, indictment says
Stewart Rhodes allegedly wanted former president ‘to declare an insurrection, and to call us up as the militia’
In charges filed on Sunday against four Oath Keepers related to the Capitol riot, Stewart Rhodes allegedly told members of the militia that if antifa “go kinetic on us, then we’ll go kinetic on them.”
Prosecutors believe that some members thought Mr Trump could invoke a 200-year-old act to stop domestic terrorism, and override the results of the 2020 election, in the run up to 6 January.
As first reported by Raw Story, Mr Rhodes theorised that the Insurrection Act would allow Mr Trump to declare martial law to deal with an insurrection from domestic terrorists — or antifa.
“Let the fight start there. That will give president Trump what he needs, frankly,” Mr Rhodes told a meeting of Oath Keepers on 9 November, according to court filings.
“If things go kinetic, good. If they throw bombs at us and shoot us, great, because that brings the president his reason and rationale for dropping the Insurrection Act.”
Mr Rhodes also told fellow Oath Keepers that they were defending "the duly elected president, and we call on him to do what needs to be done to save our country,” according to the filings in court.

I suppose the Trump organization could call the bribery legal consultation or possibly campaign contributions.
