That’s exactly what he is doing. Best time for this stuff to play out is in 2023 and 2024 anyways.

I knew very little about the late Ashli and never saw this video. Wow. There is no way she was going to make it out of DC that day without violence. She was obviously brainwashed and very unstable.
I’m not even sure what she was ranting about. “Inchoate” seems to be an accurate description.

Calling Ashli Babbitt a martyr is 100% gaslighting. It’s the very definition of gaslighting. We all know it’s not true. We have video that proves it’s not true. But Trump World needs it to be true for their narrative to mean anything, so they are trying to convince us that everything we have seen with our own eyes and know with our own brains is wrong.
“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. … Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Humans behave rationally in the sense that dogs walk on two feet. We can do it, but it’s not easy, and it takes a lot of training to do it consistently.
I’m sure Trump thinks this is a genius play:
“If you don’t say I won this election, I promise we lose the next two!”
One person’s, stupid rioting, insurrectionist, is another person fearless freedom fighter martyring herself while saving Merica, from the Godless communist and Satan-worshipping pedophile liberals.
Well, getting yourself killed as part of a terrorist attack is kind of the modern definition of martyr, so I get why they make that claim about her, but I don’t think it redounds to her credit.
Don’t forget about the cannibalism! ;-)
The right is clearly winning the battle of the adjectives, so many colorful ones!
Yeah, it’s not bad enough that people are allegedly pedophiles, they have to add cannibalism to their supposed crimes.
I remember some televangelist in the 80’s or 90’s claiming that some politician was “the Anti-Christ, and may even be a communist,” which made me laugh because of the bathos there. It’s like saying someone is a murderer and possibly forgets to wash his hands after using the bathroom.

This shit right here is motherfucking gold. IT’S GOLD, JERRY!
On Tuesday, Fellows appeared before the judge for his first full hearing as his own counsel to argue his bond status should be reconsidered. When McFadden denied his request to call his former public defender, Cara Halverson, as a witness, Fellows instead described a conversation he said he recorded with her about a “loophole” he’d found that could get McFadden removed from the case.
Fellows said he asked Halverson if he should contact McFadden’s family as a means of disqualifying him from presiding over his case. He also said he had told Halverson – to her horror – about a previous occasion in which he’d intentionally put the phone number of another judge’s wife as his emergency contact in order to get a new judge. In that case, the judge was replaced with another.
Fellows said Halverson told him that was illegal, and if that he tried to do that with McFadden he would wind up in jail on even more serious charges.
Judge McFadden then told Fellows that he had some bad news for him.
“You’ve admitted to incredible lapses of judgment here on the stand, not least of which was seeking to disqualify a New York state judge,” McFadden said. “You’ve admitted to obstruction of justice in that case, and you’ve admitted to what was probably obstruction in this case in trying to have me disqualified, and only Ms. Halverson’s advice stopped you from doing so. You’ve engaged in a pattern of behaviors that shows contempt for the criminal justice system, and I just have no confidence that you will follow my orders if I release you.”
McFadden denied Fellows’ request to reopen his detention status and ordered him back to jail.

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
That guy is a supergenius.
I like how they think they are so smart that they have outwitted the system. I hope they all get squashed like bugs.
