It's times like these I like to remind people that the leader of the GOP is a serial adulterer, sexual harasser, sexual assailant, and rapist who has analogized his sexual career to Vietnam—a war he dodged with fake bone spurs and whose soldiers he later called losers and suckers
(PS) "Sexual Anarchy" is a discarded Trump autobiography title; I'm pretty sure Chuck Schumer is profoundly confused by both words.
(PS2) Every time I see Charlie Kirk I think to myself that America must truly be a great country if you can have a sprawling media empire at the age of 14
(PS3) But honestly you have to admire his chutzpah for complaining about sexual anarchy while looking like he just rolled out of some

(🔐) NEW: If You Know Who Steve Bannon's Lawyer Is, You Understand How Closely Trump Is Linked to the Cover-Up of His Own Role in the January 6 Conspiracy

Sharing a lawyer with your co-conspirator is what career criminals do.

I hope you'll read and RT. sethabramson.substack.com/p/if-you-know-…
1/ It's astounded me—for 5 years now—how little work the media does on Trump's penchant for acting like a career criminal, especially in his use of lawyers, promises and threats, and obstruction plots, and in the myriad ways he exhibits *comically obvious* consciousness of guilt.
2/ The law wasn't invented yesterday. The ways of career criminals aren't unknown. The three books I wrote on Trump detailed the ways in which he uses lawyers to commit crimes—based on a reading of the attorney-client privilege that he has, in public and private, made explicit.

When, instead of investigating and indicting and incarcerating a career criminal and traitor to this country, you make him president and then give him endless free media, you get the disgusting spectacle happening at the Iowa fairgrounds tonight

Rule of law is asleep in America
(PS) I'm watching this Trump rally because as the author of PROOF I feel I must, but I'll tell you that it is *poison to the soul*

No two fascist parties are exactly alike—but I'll say again that what Trump has birthed is what 1930s fascism looks like translated to 2020s America
(PS2) Everything the man is saying is dangerous to the health of individual Americans, the survival of our democracy, the potential for productive political discourse, the maintenance of our rule of law, the preservation of our voting rights and the reestablishment of our dignity

God—I hope this isn't true.

Trump's insurgency is a clear and present danger to America, and if those folks in the Capitol didn't get the message on January 6, I suspect none of us will miss it when the next attack comes.

You don't play with domestic terrorism—you *defeat it*.
The thing no one in DC seems to understand that I would've thought someone in intel would've explained to them by now: DOMESTIC INSURGENCIES DON'T TAKE BREAKS.

They're don't merely "go live" when attacks happen—and they're not always about violence. They *daily* erode democracy.
Bannon defying Congress is part of the insurgency. The "Big Lie" is part of the insurgency. Bannon's recent "shock troops" speech is part of the insurgency. The Oath Keepers seeing record membership gains is part of the insurgency. And Trump's likely 2024 bid is part of it, too.

(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: New Evidence Emerges About Where Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Was in the Hours Before the January 6 Attack

I hope you'll subscribe, read, and RT. I think Boebert had a far bigger role in January 6 than even her biggest critics suspect. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
1/ I know this is a beast of an article. Dozens of links and an enormous amount of context. But I think it's impossible to understand the news we've just learned about Boebert without understanding her background, her activities in December 2020, and her January 5 work schedule.
2/ Because this—like many PROOF articles—is a feature-length article, it really needs to be read in full. There's info in even the final few grafs that in almost any other article could appear as a nut graf. As PROOF readers know, the articles are dense and reward multiple reads.

(🔓) BREAKING NEWS: Team Trump Isn't Waiting Until 2024 to Find Corrupt Republicans Willing to End Our Democracy—Which Is Why Its Insurrectionist Plot Has Moved On to Blood-Red Idaho

I hope you will RT this free article—and consider subscribing to PROOF! sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
PS/ The scariest thing about this new reporting, to me, is that it'll only take *one* corrupt GOP official to complete this stage of Trump's insurrectionist plot. Just one—anywhere in America—who's willing to risk fraud charges in order to please Donald Trump and 78% of the GOP.
PS2/ In this respect, the Biden DOJ's refusal to charge—or even interrogate, subpoena, raid, or submit demand letters to—any of the insurrection plotters sends a terrifying message to local GOP officials: the DOJ doesn't have the will to prosecute politicians on sedition charges.

FACT: Prior to 1/6, Trump lawyer John Eastman told Trump that (1) Team Trump needed 5-10 days to get GOP-led state legislatures to decertify Biden's win; (2) by law, if the joint session began it couldn't be adjourned. So it had to either never begin or be impossible to continue.
(PS) If you understand that one fact, you understand 1/6.
(PS2) You also understand why some paramilitary groups left Trump's speech early—and some never went at all. The attack had to begin at a certain time to achieve either of its objectives: 1) stop the session beginning; or 2) make it impossible to continue prior to certification.
