ATTN Media can you please report the truth about the Trump Events/Bund Rallies?

1) Much of the audience are the same people time after time.

2) Black people behind Trump are paid to be there.

3) Joe Biden had it right when he called them fascists because the MAGA mob that attacked the US Capitol
on 1/6/21 was not any different then Benito Mussolini's "Black Shirts" aka Fascisti who used violence and
mob rule to attack Italy's Capitol in 1922 to install their government which had the support of a minority
of the people of Italy.


The Black Shirts and Mussolini's "march on Rome."



Black Shirts aka Fascisti in Rome.



Trump 1/6/21



Storming the US Capitol by Trump's MAGA Black Shirts.

It was a ransacking. For a building and everything that building is supposed to stand for.

Jail is the answer. Not 30 day house arrest. Jail.

Start with the small fry, then get them to flip and testify on the ring leaders.

Up and up on the food chain until you get all the evidence you need to convict the mob boss.

DOJ is working at the top level now.

Really bad look, huh?

You are right about Putin being the boss.

1 person just got 5 years and then 3 years probation. Odds are the Oath Keepers / Proud Boys and so on
will not want to spend 10 to 25 years in prison to protect Trump or Roger Stone. I know it is taking way too
long but the cases are building and this is just for the J-6 stuff but Trump by having those stolen state secrets
should put him away forever. Especially if it is shown he was selling those secrets.

Nor do I see a narcissist like Stone to sacrificing his cute hat lifestyle for DJT.

In the end, Mussolini was as much a coward as Trump is. He tried to disguise himself by wearing parts of an enlisted man's uniform. I'm curious how Trump would try to disguise himself. Wearing Melanoma's clothes?

Sorry, but it's so obvious in how they treat am ongoing coup, crimes and lies. They give it all a nod of acceptance and rarely call it out. MSNBC and Democracy Now are the exceptions I know best.
