On the 12th night of Christmas the White House gave to me... A pretty good speech suggesting he's still interested in putting some of those masterminds in jail.

Startled to learn that the January 6 Committee may have started investigating the "1st Amendment Praetorians", a paramilitary organization consisting "entirely of veterans of the military, law enforcement, and the intelligence community" that has provided security at rallies for the Q folks, Allen West, and ex-General Mike Flynn, led by Robert Patrick Lewis, a wingnuttery entrepreneur who also warns YouTube audiences about the threat of an "antifa Tet Offensive" and "syndicate" of liberals allied to Chinese special forces units. No, I'm not startled. Maybe reassured, because I'd hate to think they weren't being investigated.
Named after the old palace guard that used to do all the work of regime change, assassinating the old emperor and picking out a replacement, so the Senatus Populusque didn't have to trouble themselves.

How appropriate. https://t.co/uJczpv1ayf
Conservatives (including Republicans at least since World War I) are by definition opposed to democracy ("not a democracy but a constitutional republic" also refers to Rome, which retained the republican institutions-- senate, consuls, tribunes--after it became an empire)...

First Roman dictator to declare himself a god was Octavian who named himself "Augustus". US has had one dictator (a very benevolent one who was happy to retire), General Washington, and one president with followers who call him a "god-emperor". pic.twitter.com/ld8FzJrUzG

Also not startled to hear Professor Lawrence Tribe complaining that his old student Merrick Garland may not have been investigating the plan A from which Plan B apparently sprung:
Sorry, I’m just not buying it, Garland’s focus on the Jan 6 attack conspicuously omits any hint of concern with the seditious conspiracy that was designed in Nov & Dec 2020 to pull off a bloodless coup. The attack was Plan B. Plan A violated 18 USC sec. 2384. https://t.co/BQmP0bMyW1

Since he taught the attorney general, I think you can rule out him not knowing.

So, ask yourself, if Lawrence Tribe is saying louder and louder that his former student does not appear to be doing enough, quickly enough, why aren’t you listening?
and especially Peabody Energy https://t.co/Bs4cPntnJu Is it a coincidence that he is working so hard to discredit the DOJ of the most actively environmentalist administration in history?

Or maybe he's just driven mad by the fact that his old student Barack Obama kept giving the Supreme Court seat he was expecting to some... girl. As far as I'm concerned, of course, Garland ought to be taking his inquiry back a good deal farther than that.

An overwhelmingly peaceful Black Lives Matter movement (violence at fewer than 5% of events) concentrated in a couple of weeks in May-June met with savage retaliation from militarized police and rightwing military groups all summer long pic.twitter.com/qZS2jEcnYT

You're quite right to remind us how it all began with violent attempts to put down nonviolent George Floyd protests. https://t.co/72rrbgrwhq

For all you know, "defunding" police would make officers safer--we don't know because it hasn't been tried. You can't blame the "defund the police" movement for these tragedies because there is no effective movement. You're just raising money off imaginary bogeymen. Disgusting.
