So many Dave Thomas Circle memories, but the prevailing one is grabbing food there after a loooonnnnng day at Obama’s first inauguration. (The 2009 inauguration perimeter was pretty intense.) washingtonpost.com/transportation…
Never has a #6 spicy chicken meal tasted so good.

“Outrageous.” Judge lays into Trump-loving deputy charged with attacking law enforcement on Jan. 6 while wearing a “SHERIFF” patch. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Here’s a @SeditionHunters video compilation that shows some of #threepercentsheriff’s handiwork:

"CHAN said he was considering joining a class action lawsuit for people who were tear gassed on January 6.” Image

A weird thing that happened after the election was that the folks who have been playing this game with voter fraud claims for decades started to worry that Trump was making them look completely ridiculous.
