Intimidation through murder and lying about it are the MAGA regime's default, go-to positions. If you hear of one of their atrocities and wait for some actual facts to emerge, you will seldom be disappointed if you were initially expecting to be subjected to a king-sized load of --------.

The routine with respect to Trump's Republican Guard is as follows:

1. Feral masked, poorly trained, badly vetted, roided-up thugs harass and murder people.
2. Aforementioned feral thugs play victim card, lie about what happened, who they murdered, why, etc.
3. Employers of the feral thugs reflexively coverup, lie, close off investigations.
4. Feral masked, poorly trained, badly vetted, raided-up thugs out and about to do more thuggery.

Boy, that didn't take long.
Could have.
But ... Republicans.
Thanks, a##holes.
