At trump rally... footage from the Capitol riot was shown on big screens as J6 choir sings...

Did I miss this in the news today? This footage was playing at the trump rally? as the J6 Choir sang "Justice for All" which is a new charity single that trump has released.

He opened the rally by playing a song, “Justice for All”, that features a choir of men imprisoned for their role in the January 6 insurrection singing the national anthem intercut with Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Trump stood solemnly on a podium with hand on heart and footage from the Capitol riot was shown on big screens and US flags billowed in the wind. “That song tells you a lot because it’s number one in every single category,”

It is as if he actually wants everyone to make fun of him. He is a laughing stock, a big, fat walking joke. A truly desperate, deranged blob. The thing is is that he knows this and chooses to go down this route. He can't stand his fans and never could. He knows they are stupid trash bu that is his base so he is marketing himself to them. A true con artist.

we've just been trained to hear dog whistles as being only about race. I won't watch the video... I'm sick enough today... but the line under the video is all the dog whistle I need to read to know the kind of whistles he's blowing. "The final battle" is nothing but a dog whistle to the Dominionists who want to put us under theocratic rule. Armageddon. That's what he's promising. At Waco, where one fiery Apocalypse already happened, at the hands and urging of someone else who promoted himself as akin to the second coming.

But at this point, *rump is all noise to these theocrats. He's been bleeding them off to Desantis. Desantis is the "little boots" with the long list of legislative and judicial accomplishments that actually reach out and hurt the people the Dominionists want to oppress. HE'S the one I'm most worried about in 2024, not *rump. And, with Rove's little Freudian slip the other night on Fox, evidently our true rulers, the monied PTB, have decided to put all their money behind him. He's going to run... and he's going to be hard to keep out of the presidency with the way the R's have elections rigged now.

I think this line under the pic speaks truth, but not as *rump sees it... I think 2024 will be the final battle for democracy - here, and perhaps in the world - for a long while. The pendulum will swing back, but there'll be a lot of pain and death before then.

Any video of his terrorists attacking the police?

Or his MAGA Congressfolk hiding in fear of his terrorists?

... of course!

I understand one man being a ruthless sociopath, paid by Putin to destroy the US and our democracy.

The hard part is seeing so many Americans who agree with the heinous crimes and destruction
of our country and people.

America's national character has changed for the worse.
