Spoken like a true insurrectionist who's coup attempt failed

Only difference is that in EVERY other country in the world the failed coup attempt leads to be
arrested & prosecuted for being a traitor

Is there another republican doing anything on their own that's noteworthy?
Is he not the leader of the republican party?

Why are you so afraid of the coverage of your party's leader?

And a thread about the Oath Keepers & MTG which never mentioned trump by name
is really an anti-trump story in your mind?

Funny, I suspect you make like Kermit whenever trump makes the news cycle directly or indirectly 🤣

What's funny is the defense lawyers sound like they're describing many of the conservatives in this forum 🤣

Prosecutor: Oath Keepers saw Jan. 6 as 'first battle' in war

The lawyer said many Oath Keepers members were elderly, out-of-shape men who were “playing military" and prone to bluster in their online chats.


“These gentlemen used Twitter fingers, not trigger fingers,” Weinberg told jurors, paraphrasing lyrics by the Canadian rapper Drake.

Jurors are expected to hear testimony from prosecutors' first witness on Tuesday.

Oath Keepers talked of guerrilla war, second trial hears

The defendants in the latest trial are Roberto Minuta of Texas, Edward Vallejo of Arizona, and Joseph Hackett and David Moerschel, both from Florida.

Members of the militia transported firearms to a hotel room in suburban Virginia, just across from Washington DC, to avoid the city's strict gun control laws. On 6 January 2021, they planned to transport the stash into Washington using a "quick reaction force" if called upon by then-President Donald Trump - but the weapons were not used.

On Monday, jurors heard an audio recording of Mr Vallejo talking about "guerrilla war".

Mr Vallejo was keeping watch over the militia's weapon cache and texted Rhodes and others several times during the riot, indicating he was ready to take the guns to the Capitol, according to the indictment.
 
I don't know what that means, nor do I understand why military is in quotations.

I also don't care. No one does.
