“‘Please verify that you do not support this behavior,’ she wrote on the police department’s Facebook page, along with a screenshot of Trabert’s post.
Seconds later, her message disappeared.”

Then, the police chief claimed his son was a “fake plant”? washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/…
The Sheriff is using his public office to push the “false flag” lie, which blames the insurrection on non-existent “antifa,” and not on white nationalists like his own son who bragged about overthrowing the government and photographed himself at the scene of the criminal attack.
Here is the Aberdeen, Maryland, Police Department’s Facebook page, which lists their public phone number as (410) 272-2121. (The son who bragged that he stormed the Capitol took his page down.) really. Concerning the department is lying to protect him.

Here is the Aberdeen, Maryland police department’s web site. aberdeenpolice.org
The article has ample information to back the Sheriff’s son participating in the breach, including FB comments where he tried to motivate others to attack the Capitol and overturn the election results.
Saying the breach was a “false flag” or blaming antifa is 1A protected - unless those are operative statements in crimes of obstruction. Did the Sheriff obstruct justice criminally when he used his official podium to lie and falsely exonerate his son?
We’d need a bit more info to come to that conclusion. But not much more.

It really is a textbook incitement. He sent out announcements asking them to show up at location and date. When they got there, he named the specific location of the attack and exhorted to go there and “fight” its occupants. He then said he’d meet them there.
Moreover, when he was told that his invited mob had followed his instructions and were violently attacking the Capitol and its occupants, he didn’t say “oh wait, I didn’t mean that!” Witnesses said he expressed joy and satisfaction that his incitement had resulted in violence.
And further, when told that the victims of violence, including police, needed reinforcements, there is no evidence that he sent aid THAT HE CONTROLLED to help them. Instead, there was a yet-unexplained delay of hours in aid, which resulted in more and worse violence.

Humbled (or more like humiliated) by giving myself a hyperextension injury a couple weeks ago. It’s still not completely gone, but I can tell it’s muscle and not disc bc it hurts only when I tense muscle and not just when I bend.

Yes, humiliated. Why?
I was doing my normal rotation which, for that day, was planks, high kettle swings, bridge and ab wheel. Now an wheel is famous for hyperextension injuries but I’ve been doing it for years and I always use a mark on the floor and face a wall so I know I’m not hyperextending.
So this time I was a bit full of myself and thinking “my back’s strong for my age - so many have chronic back pain and I don’t bc I exercise.” Kinda snotty, right? Then I thought of a guy I know who’s had several back fusions & was like “hmmph - bet he didn’t do the right stuff.”

Boebert's gonna have to hire her mom as her staff, I guess. Which'll be great, as we'll get more chances to compare her face with "bullhorn lady" who directed the insurrection participates which way to go.

(Hint - the photos look like exact matches to me.)
What I'm focused on is the bilateral nasal area folds, the buttock-shaped fat layer under the lower lip (unusual) and the upper lip. The nose - hard to compare because of the different lighting and position.

I just don’t get that there are actual people who believe that “leftists” or “antifa” stormed the Capitol. Why would leftists want to KEEP Trump in power? These people bragged to their families and friends that they were doing assassinations to keep Trump in power.
There’s apparently also a propaganda being circulated that the attackers were only “a very small group.” Do these ppl’s phones not have enough bandwidth for photos?
And here’s the kicker. Why the hell would Trump call “leftists” to the Capitol on that exact date, meet them there, urge them to “fight” to keep him in power and overthrow the election, then tell them afterward that he loved them and they were special?

Also, Brandenburg 1) did not involve a specific direction to commit a specific attack at a specific day/time/location, 2) no specific IMMINENT attack was linked to Brandenburg’s incitement. Trump’s speech fails the Brandenburg test and can be prosecuted.
Trump’s speech was not mere “general advocacy of violence,” which Brandenburg held protected. Instead, Trump’s speech fits perfectly into Brandenburg’s prosecutable test:
Trump’s speech was “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and [was] likely to incite or produce such action.” We know it was “likely” to produce lawless action because it DID. The action immediately followed his speech so it was “imminent.”

THREAD: a point worth addressing is "how would/should VP respond if GOP retained its majority, then voted to suspend/amend a Senate Rule depriving the presiding officer of power." Paragraph 6 of the article wasn't as strong as it could have been, on that point.
The problem with that attack is encapsulated in the Senate's official history (cited graf 7) - senate.gov/artandhistory/…

The Senate's official history on its dot.gov site recounts the Constitutional fact that the majority leader's presiding powers are derivative.
A power informally delegated by the VP can be taken back, so the Senate history accurately describes the majority leader as "an emperor without clothes." So, if the VP used presiding power to give priority to a senator moving a House-passed bill to the floor, and . . .
