Accurate.

Accurate.

And reverse could be done her as well with the BLM and antifa riots summer of 2020 and the cheering on by the mainstream media.

Glenn Greenwald sums it up well:

A full year after the 1/6 riot at the Capitol, the total number of indictments from the Biden DOJ for insurrection, sedition or treason is the same number as Americans indicted by Mueller for criminally conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election:

ZERO.

Ted Cruz is so spineless.

He should have told Carlson that he is so far off base that his political opinions wouldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat

738 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all


A pro-Trump mob descended on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and hundreds face criminal charges.
It took four hours to secure the building so Congress could certify President Joe Biden's victory.
A year later, 738 people have been charged. This searchable table shows them all so far.

Really interesting thread about how this was an organized effort by varying small groups of militia to disrupt the proceedings.

Forgot to mention an Oath Keeper leader and 10 others have been charged with seditious conspiracy. (https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/13/politics/oathkeeper-rhodes-arrested-doj/index.html)

Definitely more to come.

Tucker is an asshole interview . Corrected for truthfulness.

Was looking at the Wiki page on Tucker - Question why is he still referred to as a Conservative? He may have been at one point but now he supports protectionism, isolationism, opposes legal immigration and supports Trumpism (ie all the prior stuff plus opposition to entitlement reform and lots of other non-conservative stuff).

He is a right-wing populist like Trump but definitely not a conservative anymore.

Hard to believe that Ginni Thomas isn't promoting radical theories into her husband's ear.

Quick poll - who here believes that the Supreme Court shouldn't have to adhere to the same code of conduct that all other judiciaries have to adhere to (i.e. a justice recusing himself from a case in which his spouse is involved in?)
