On Jan. 6, Jared Wise urged rioters to "kill" cops. "You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo," Wise yelled. Trump dismissed Wise's Jan. 6 case, and the DOJ hired him as a senior adviser. We got the bodycam video showing Wise on Jan. 6. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n ...

Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration.

Typical------------- supporter.

Smart career move by this traitor, though. Were he not werking at the DOJ, he could be an ICE agent.

You know how to detect hoaxes... #1 method....

They quote the target literally "You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo," ...

But never the quote that supposed to get you outraged, 'urged rioters to "kill" cops'.

WTF?? Why not use his actual quote? Well because the fact is, the evidence doesn't indicate anything close to what the claim is.

I could be wrong here, but the 100's of cases of this where I have been correct gives me confident that is the case here.

If we had treated the intruders as enemy combatants this would never have happened.

The survivors and their families would still be living in fear.

How to detect trolls, they announce they're open border liberals and then immediately complaining about the southern border not being closed.

Reporter: "The target called for the killing of cops."
OneIronPedoLover: "Never happened."
Reporter: "Here is a video of the target yelling: 'Year! Fuck them! Year! Kill'em! Yeah!'"
OneIronPedoLover: "I'm far too busy day dreaming about Trump raping underage girls to watch video proof."

Maybe we do need Re-education Camps in this country. We can educate the MAGAt Pedo Lovers that raping underage girls is wrong.

The problem isn't necessarily all about Trump. We've known long before Jan 6 that he is a no-good self-promoter and racketeer who grifts off the American taxpayer whom he expects to pay his way to a dictatorship.

The other part of the 3-part problem is voters who keep voting for Trump's enablers in Congress. Be smart enough to axe both houses down to a small minority in 2026 and the biggest part of the problem will be solved.

Part three is the Roberts Court who have "For Sale" written all over their backs and whether or not we even have a presidential election in 2028 ~~ at least not one we'd recognize ~~ (ala Russian style.)

For years Republican voters have failed to realize that by voting for any Republican, State or Federal, is the same as slitting their own throat.

Rape is not wrong.

It's literally baked into Christianity and by extension Islam.

When Mary got pregnant, do you remember anyone asking for her consent?

That's called rape.

Joseph is not on trial. And my guess is the statute of limitation has expired.

So, let's try to stick to the 21st Century. Trump is rapidly trying to throw an impenetrable autocratic net around this country and the only way (well, there is one other way) to stop is to vote while we still have a chance.

Too late may come sooner than we think.

@#17 ... to vote while we still have a chance ...

I remain to be convinced that the MAGA GOP wants "us" to have a choice in 2026.

I agree. Trump seems to be heading in that direction. Although he has probably opened a can of worms with gerrymandering in Texas.

Trump is more aware than anyone that he's running out of time, even for 2028. My guess is that he's going to be hitting hard and hitting low. If he keeps control of the House and Senate, our goose is surely cooked.

Although Trump may come away with clean hand is Epstein's death, I am quite certain he is capable of murder to get what he wants. In his deranged mental state, dissenting to murder would be a short trip.

Imagine what kind of dictator he'd make with full-blown Alzheimer.
