It was also one of the last things I wrote about before my employer forbade me to write about anything besides Phoenix Suns basketball. For decent people, discovering their fellow travelers are genocidal fascists breaks their brains (see: McKay Coppins). newrepublic.com/article/1788...

The image that always sticks in my mind for that total breakdown of the Constitution isn't Jan 6 itself, it's Pelosi literally rallying troops in front of the Capitol to protect Congress from the president.

POTUS gave a convicted child sex abuser favorable treatment, and dangled the prospect of a pardon, so she would tell lies about if he was implicated in her crimes.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Reposting because this story is so wild:
