Alert: Rep. Louie Gohmert is talking about January 6th at the QAnon Conference.
He got as far as "January 6th, a day which will live in infamy" before he veered off into talking about how racist Democrats are.
But I'll let you know if he comes back to the subject w/quotes ITT.
He's now talking about spending a summer in the Soviet Union as an exchange student.
Starting to think he doesn't WANT to really talk about January 6th, but just wanted to mention it so people could go "yes, SO UNFAIR that libs blame Trump supporters for January 6th." 🙃
OK, now he's back onto the subject:
"I'm taking flak for" opposing the January 6th commission. "Pelosi... appointed a general who has called the Republicans excrement, and other things."
You just claimed Dems want young girls to get raped by Mexican immigrants, my man. 👞 fits
Now he's complaining that there were other, MUCH worse attacks on Congress.
Pearl Harbor, he suggests, was a worse attack on democracy than this. Or 9/11.
HOLY SHIT.
"I would submit that weaponizing the FBI and the Department of Justice against one administration was an attack on democracy."
... did he SEE the Trump DOJ?
Now he's suggesting the federal courts are massively rigged against Trump and Trumpism.

Failed -- and fascist -- Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell is about to speak at the QAnon conference in Dallas.
I'll keep you updated in this thread.
They're opening with a video clip. Powell is saying, "People need to come forward now and report the fraud they know was created in Dominion voting systems, because that's what it was created to do... a very foul mess.... I am gonna release the kraken."
She enters. Standing O.
Almost everyone in the crowd is recording this or photographing this. PROLONGED hooting and hollering.
Neither of these applied to aaaaany other speaker, of course.
These Kraken enthusiasts can't get enough fascism!!! They DEMAND more of the Big Lie!
OK, there's an hour-long break at the QAnon convention. They're showing a video clip on the stream, complaining that "they took away our bloodlines and means of reproduction... instead of the British diluting our bloodlines through sexual force, they have vaccines."
"Much like the American Revolution, the Scottish clans were forced to unite in war against infiltrators who planned to destroy their freedoms... the tyrannical elites were forced to change their tactics from invading countries to infiltrate them. The common man will fight."
I need to go do paying work for a bit, but in case you were wondering, yes: of COURSE they're playing long clips from Braveheart.
I’m diving into the 3600+ comments on GhostEzra’s “Go Watch Some Nazi Propaganda” post.
A few dozen comments in, I have encountered literally no fightback. Several of these people are almost certainly real QAnon supporters; I’ve seen them discussing the drops knowledgeably.
This is notable because GHOSTCHAT *is* GhostEzra — that’s the account he uses to comment on his posts.
No, I don’t know why he uses a separate account for that. Also I don’t really care.
That the AZ “audit” is being promoted in this thread seems… very on-brand.
There's a new report making the rounds, from Georgetown's Center for Emerging Technology, on AI and disinformation.
Essentially the takeaway is that human-machine teams can generate fairly effective disinformation right now, BUT it's computationally & financially expensive...
So *for now* all we have to worry about is state adversaries using GPT-3 or something similar to spread disinfo.
Or very wealthy people who can just blow $200K on creating ONE system, or tens of millions per year to generate content equal to, say, 1% of all activity on Twitter.
Except... I think the report is wrong about it being confined to state actors for now. *Political parties* already spend a lot of money on their digital operations. Why not more for this?
Maybe they don't think the cost-benefit is there *yet*, but remember:
