    No. They'd have wanted them shot dead by the thousands and cleaned off the Capitol steps with bulldozers into quarter-mile-long mass graves on the National Mall.

    Without Twitter, trump is emasculated. If he spent a year off Twitter during his presidency, he would have completely lost interest rather than just mostly lost interest. MFer barely worked a 20 hour week in a job that every other president said was all consuming.
    And that’s basically the saving grace for the country. Bannon’s idea of malicious neglect didn’t really work.
    Biden has shown that organized people who are highly competent can get work done.

    I guarantee you the fat fuck never actually worked twenty (20) hours in any single week during his reign. His actual schedule probably amounted to more like 20 hours a month.


    And of course he was the lardass who bitched eight years straight about the lazy shiftless slacker Obama.

    Kind of odd the article makes no mention whatsoever about where they got the information, how many (if any) people corroborated it, or if they pursued confirming it with any of the parties involved. Powell’s non-statement is the only acknowledgment of reporting that was done.

    It sounds like Herschmann was the source.

    I’m unfamiliar with the rules of objective and intelligent unbiased journalism, but quotation marks indicate an exact verbatim memorialized statement. So someone in that room talked. It wasn’t Powell or Trump or Rudy.

    the NYTimes has an extensive story on the 77 days immediately after the election. I believe they have quotes from meetings with trump.

    Wasn’t Flynn either. Sure sounds like the guy who is quoted challenging a general to a fistfight is the source.

    That is a problematic article, but it's Swan, and it's Axios, so expectations cannot be anything but low.

    Those are being presented as pristine quotes.

    At least we didn't get the ridiculous bulleted outline of the story at the top

    Getting arrested for insurrection can really fuck up your vacation plans.

    I hear Gitmo can be enchanting all year long.
