"Put your gun down and we will show you..." (I'll stop there).
Isn't that a direct threat that this police officer would have been lynched?
70 million people will vote for him in 2024. And that will still be "The Real America". Lost for words, sorry.

Pretty sure this hasn't been posted. Apologies if it's a repeat.

Statements to others, Instagram posts, Facebook posts... These January 6th fools clearly are NOT the sharpest knives in the drawers. I'm trying to think of ANY other event where the participants have been their own worst enemies from a legal standpoint (other than mass shooters).

Actually, let's play that game. Name an event, any other event (other than mass shootings), where the statements and social media posts have created more problems for the event's participants... I honestly can't think of any.

You have to come at it from the perspective that these people think they're committing acts of patriotism rather than treason, that they're in line with political activists in Hong Kong, Belarus, Russia, etc., fighting for the right thing and boasting their activity is "brave."

These two are not far behind, if not totally ahead:
Bank Robber Caught After Posting Pictures On Facebook With Stolen Cash

And this one too:
Alleged robber caught after trying to befriend his victim on Facebook

I don't think they understand that Social Media has no privacy.

Fyre Festival will always be here to contend in a game like this.

Congress should get Trump’s tax returns, Justice Department says

By
Devlin Barrett

While he was president, Trump successfully beat back efforts by the House Ways & Means Committee to see his tax returns, including a battle in federal court. But the new opinion from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said the committee’s request is valid and should be fulfilled.

House Democrats had sought eight years of the president’s tax returns, and federal law gives the Ways & Means Committee broad authority to get an individual’s tax information.

The Biden Justice Department has concluded that seeking Trump’s taxes serves “a legitimate legislative purpose.”

The Justice Department said the committee “has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information.” The agency sent its 39-page legal opinion to the Treasury Department, which would formally deliver Trump’s returns to the committee.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the former president would take any new legal action in court to try to block the release.

After the Justice Department released its opinion, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the Biden administration “has delivered a victory for the rule of law.”

Access to Trump’s tax returns “is a matter of national security,” the speaker said. “The American people deserve to know the facts of his troubling conflicts of interest and undermining of our security and democracy as president.”
