    Cry more, fascists.

    The DoJ seized & unlocked Trump’s cell phone.

    No he didn’t commit an insurrection. He attempted one, I’m sure that’s hard to grasp as someone who has never passed meaningful legislation but the idea is to actually achieve something other than a pile of useless paperwork.

    You know, I’ve been the victim of federal crimes,” added Gaetz, who is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly paying $900 to a sex trafficker for sex with a minor. “If we’re the purported victim, in Congress, and we’re saying this was not an insurrection, I think that would hold a great deal of weight.”

    Motherfucker really just called himself a victim, because he’s being investigated for sex trafficking children…

        I just went back and edited my comment.

        The quote cuts some out. But article has the video of the full comment.

        He’s saying he’s a victim of his own party attempting an insurrection to keep power, because he was already in the government I guess.

        Still ridiculous, but not as much

      “If we’re the purported victim, in Congress, and we’re saying this was not an insurrection, I think that would hold a great deal of weight.”

      Yeah, that’s it, just have the people who wanted the insurrection to succeed say it wasn’t an insurrection.
