Rachel Maddow Shreds The Proud Boys For Taping Their Sedition Planning


Rachel Maddow shredded the Proud Boys for taping the planning of their sedition.

Maddow said:

They, first of all, decided to do their organizing on videotape conference. Then they made recordings of those planning sessions which their leader guy held on to the recordings for at least a year after the Capitol attack.

He then had them seized by the FBI and also they have made their way to at least one reporter who has published pieces of them at The New York Times. Like I said, I don’t know exactly what the January 6th investigation has, but it’s gotta help to have guys like this right in the middle of this criminal conspiracy.

The Proud Boys set themselves up to be tried for seditious conspiracy by videotaping all of the planning.

Hubris was everywhere among Trump and his supporters. The Proud Boys likely taped their sedition, because it never occurred to them that the plot would fail and they would be held accountable.

Self-protection alone should have been enough reason not to videotape or have documentary filmmakers follow them and film their potential criminal activity.

Maddow was right. The Proud Boys made this easy for investigators and that is why they are likely be going to prison for a very long time.

1. Trump attracts idiots

4. Trump devotees and the word thinking probably shouldn't be used in the same paragraph let

alone sentence.

5. Entitlement

"The Proud Boys likely taped their sedition, because it never occurred to them that the plot would fail and they would be held accountable."

I think there's also not a small amount of entitlement there. They're arrogant white males who felt perfectly entitled to overthrow the government to get what they wanted. They never thought they'd face criminal repercussions because entitled white males aren't often held to account. They were emboldened by arrogance. And they thought they'd get away with it.

Can you imagine for a minute if it was a black group that did all this? To an extent, the entitled white males are right - they aren't often held to account.

This time it's different. They fucked around and found out.

9. Belated congrats on your 3000th post

10. Heh, thanks. Didn't realize it.

I was here a long time ago and left, then came back.

11. Still counts as a milestone!

6. Didn't the Nazis do the same thing?

The record-keeping of the Third Reich was broad and detailed. It's partly how we know how many concentration camp victims there were. Hell, even the first Indian Jones movie demonstrated how they filmed important events!

These American seditionists thought they were invincible and that their films would make historic records of their actions. Well, they were right but not quite how they intended.

7. "History is written by the victors"

Years after Pence was hung, electoral votes destroyed and Trump re-installed as Supreme Leader For Life, these videos would have formed part of history curriculums in American schools, celebrating the valiant Proud Boy's pitched battle to free our country from the tyranny of Pelosian democracy. Enrique Tarrio's name would forever have been etched in MAGA lore, his assault on the Capitol commemorated much like Washington crossing the Delaware.

Anyway, that was Trump's fever dream. Too bad it failed. Now they'll all rot in prison.

8. They were proud of their traitorous actions.

LOL. Stupid

[mitch96]

14. True through out history, one groups patriots are another groups traitors. These guys are

traitors and should rot in jail. They could not win politically so they went to the extreme..
Let's hope the politicians prosecute these asswipes to the fullest extent of the law.
My fear when the pendulum swings the other way they will be pardoned by the next
RW wacko Prez..uff

12. They all wanted screen time in the inevitable film celebrating Trump's glorious struggle.
