“Mr. Bannon was in the war room at the Willard on January 6th” - Liz Cheney

While details are thin surrounding who was actually at the Willard Hotel "War Room" a few photos have emerged.

Among those in attendance: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and OANN's Christina Bobb... Image
Russ Ramsland Jr. who has been central to the dissemination of election fraud claims in multiple states was also in attendance.

More on Ramsland here: washingtonpost.com/investigations… Image
Hapless spy turned Roger Stone wannabe Robert Hyde was also in the room. We only have these photos because Hyde posted them on his instagram. Image

I'm sorry, did Marjorie Taylor Greene fill a Prius with tannerite, shoot said Prius with a 50 Caliber long gun, and then attempt to auction said long gun, all within the bumpers of a 30 second 2022 political ad?

Also a quick fact check:

1.) The Green New Deal is wonderful.

2.) The Green New Deal has not been 'snuck into' this or any other budget.

3.) Nancy Pelosi has not helped advance the Green New Deal (it would be great if she did) ...but MTG is lying.

Also, all politics aside:

If her 50cal shot actually precipitated the explosion that entire set was dangerous. Pieces of that car appear to fly 300+ feet in multiple directions.

MTG and her team could have been hit by the debris.

Wildlife nearby likely went deaf.

Shameful.

Sharia literally means "a straight path to water" and is implied to mean "to follow the law."

Interpretation and enforcement of Sharia is where we see rights begin to erode.

Lastly, saying "Sharia law" is like saying "Law law" it's a ham-fisted term coopted by the west.
We should be extremely concerned for Afghan civilians, especially Afghan women, the Afghan LGBTQ community, and Afghan religious minorities —but in our concern we should strive to not filter words like Sharia through Islamophobic lenses.

Stephen Feinberg wound up in the crosshairs of my research on several occasions. I always knew he wanted to emulate Erik Prince but reading @MarkMazzettiNYT's piece on his possible role in training those who killed Jamal Khashoggi has shook me to my core. nytimes.com/2021/06/22/us/…
@MarkMazzettiNYT In February 2017 Donald Trump tapped Stephen Feinberg for a special task to "audit our intelligence agencies."
However the first time I dug into Stephen Feinberg was actually in December 2012 when his company Cerberus Capital Management decided to turn a profit off of the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
