ets: can't seem to find anything about Powell retracting her accusations.

I don't think Powell has made anything public with regard to Dominion's allegations, but presumably the reply was similar to the one her lawyer sent to Smartmatic:

"I have carefully reviewed your letter on December 15, 2020. I am not impressed. Ms. Powell retracts nothing.

File your lawsuit.”

Sidney Powell's lawyer is Lin Wood.

Lindsey Graham’s tweet just now was basically if you impeach him then his people will be cross and there might be more violence you don’t want more violence do you.

"You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role...Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

(Lindsey Graham, 1999)

is anyone from Texas not a fucknut

A lot of people think Ted Cruz is some kind of narcissistic psychopath, solely focused on his own political advancement.

But if Ted cared only about himself and not America, why would he publish a series of colouring books aimed at children outlining his plan to single handedly save America from all the un-American things? Are these the actions of a fucknut?

Spoiler: Ted

The writing there is amusing, but most of the links don't work and none of the videos are loading. Why are so many sites like this fucking broken?!

They would not load for me but I either changed my VPN to the US or turned it off completely. Can't remember which one as I was a bit pissed

This is grimly fascinating; it's the full phone call where Trump tries to strong-arm the Georgia sec of state into 'finding' enough votes to overturn the election with a few introductory remarks from Michael Moore. It gives a real insight into how Trump operates.

Giuliani appears to have patched things up with Trump - he says he's working on the impeachment defense, which will involve him proving that the election was stolen.

Fair play. But they 1/50 in previous attempts at proving voting irregularity.

The man who will forever be remembered as the one who tasered his balls, his story is here, how he went from an Obama enthusiast to where he ended up, only watching newsmax and bellowing about the stop the steal on Parler. Actually a really good article.

The Radicalization of Kevin Greeson

How one man went from attending President Barack Obama’s inauguration to dying in the mob protesting Donald Trump’s election loss during the Capitol insurrection.

Actually, hold on. It doesn’t really explain anything, as to why he started absorbing more and more extreme media, tries to link it with factories and jobs going in his home town but basically leaves you with, he and his neighbours believed trump would make things better for them. Then they all watched Fox News for 5 years. Kind of a nothing explanation.

I pointed to the fact Troy Anthony Smocks had been charged with making online threats [post #13,817] and asked

Hadn't noticed anyone else arrested for online threats regarding the riot or the inauguration (have there been any others?).

Meet Justin Stoll of Wilmington Ohio who

has been charged federally with making interstate threats and threatening a witness. The crimes arise from the man’s alleged communications online related to his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the United States Capitol.

Wilmington man charged with online threats, witness tampering regarding his participation in protests at U.S. Capitol - Department of Justice

According to an affidavit written in support of the criminal complaint pending against Stoll, he used the username “Th3RealHuckleberry” on the app Clapper and on YouTube to post videos related to his participation in the Capitol protests. In one such video, it is alleged Stoll asks his viewers if he should wear a black United States flag shirt to D.C., stating, “Basically, if you are an enemy combatant, you will be shot on sight…I know this is the end-all flag…” Stoll also allegedly posted videos of himself outside the Capitol with other protesters in which he said, among other things, “D.C.’s a war zone!...You ain’t got enough cops, baby! We are at war at the Capitol…. We have taken the Capitol. This is our country.”

According to the court document, Stoll received comments from concerned citizens in response to his YouTube videos, including from one user who said (s)he had saved Stoll’s video. Stoll responded via another video, in which he said, in part:

Well, that shows your f------ ignorance because, clearly, the capitol building is owned by the people, so again, nothing will happen. Secondly, I never admitted I went into it, did I? Go watch the video again. Daddy’s not stupid. [Wink.] Third, if you ever in your f------ existence did something to jeopardize taking me away from my family, you will absolutely meet your maker. You can play that for the D.A. in court, I don’t care. If you ever jeopardize me, from being with my family, you will absolutely meet your mother f------ maker, and I will be the one to arrange the meeting.

Interstate communication of a threat is a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison. Tampering with a witness through intimidation carries a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

'Daddy’s not stupid. [Wink.]'

Both Smocks and he were present on the day. Be interesting to see if anyone gets charged with online threats in relation to the riot who wasn't there.

I've gone off Moore over the last few years, but I'm glad to see he's still working. 3 or 4 years ago he didn't look too well.

Yes the intro was a bit rambling but he made some good scene-setting points.

This is quite a watch, he was right in the middle of it.

but it’s early-mid afternoon most places over there. Would have thought a midday kick-off was fairly standard.

They‘re probably all be at home trying hard to delete their social media comments from the last four years before the plod come knocking.

Some of these people are so bonkers as to be in their own galaxy. They are probably on the Icke-Double Julian Calendar, so the inauguration could be on Wednesday or it could be when the serpent rises from the fiery pit.

If this is anything to go by, seems to be a bit of a damp squib:

Maybe they've woken up to being conned by Trump?

Local law enforcement and National Guard troops surrounded the Michigan State Capitol on January 17, as a small number of armed protesters demonstrated outside.

The FBI warned of potential armed demonstrations at state capitols across the country ahead of the inauguration of Joe Biden. However, dozens of militia organizations and other groups have warned members to stay away from protests at capitols.

The Detroit Free Press reported that a small number of protesters identifying as Boogaloo Bois were protesting outside the Michigan State Capitol by early Sunday afternoon.

Can’t find them now but there were quite a few posts floating about telling Patriots to stay away from the fake demonstrations on i think it was today, that they were traps set up by anteefa and the deep state, i think the scoop came via Lin wood.
