https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matt-braynard-protest-capitol-riot_n_610c5c6be4b05f8157079a71The former data chief for Donald Trumps 2016 campaign has announced a protest next month at the nations Capitol to rail on behalf of so-called political prisoners charged in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Were going back to the Capitol, right where it started. And its going to be huge, Matt Braynard told former White House strategist Steve Bannon as he announced the rally on Bannons podcast last week.
The protest, Justice for J6, has been set for Sept. 18 at the Capitol. Its being orchestrated by the group Look Ahead America, headed by Braynard.

(202,990 posts)Yes, there needs to be "Justice for J6," they all need to be locked up - especially those who planned and orchestrated the insurrection. They have obviously learned nothing.

(17,781 posts)Isn't the orange moron supposed to ride back to power in August? Shortly? In the coming weeks? Well, if that's the case, won't he command prosecutors to drop all charges against the motely crew of Jan 6? No need for a protest then. Or am I using too much logic? I'm so confused.

BumRushDaShow
(127,312 posts)which was to promote a group that seems bereft at how bills become laws.
And it also neglects to mention that the SCOTUS had basically only allowed it to continue through to when it did only because it was set to expire at that time.
The hope here is that it can remain in place until some final death knell to it absent CONGRESSIONAL action, not Executive action. It was something that should have been included in the last stimulus and is something that needs to be extended by legislation.
But there really needs to be a "#OccupyStateLegislatures" to distribute the funds already allocated.
The moratorium has already been challenged in court and one would hope it doesn't get an enforcement stay pending further court actions.
Socialism Now
(29 posts)Biden's claim that nothing could be done and pelosi's claim that she didn't know about expiry until the very last minute.
Hence the response
BumRushDaShow
(127,312 posts)The issue is that some folks just don't know how bills become law and how they require both chambers. Pelosi knew exactly what the issue was and negotiations were ongoing and reached an impasse. And even if there was an agreement, it would never pass a cloture vote in the Senate.
What the CDC has done is now going to be tested in court. Pray that they don't immediately put a TRO on its implementation.

BumRushDaShow
(127,312 posts)because the money to help them is sitting in the state treasuries unspent. Literally billions that was part of the "American Rescue Plan" to help them pay their rent.
The states have been slow to distribute the funds and make contact with those in need - some because they were trying to bring new systems online and are working through that process and others due to being a bunch of fucking RW douchebags.

(127,312 posts)The money to keep them in their homes and apartments is sitting right there in the state treasuries. MAKE the states distribute it.
Don't sit back - contact the municipal, county, and state Housing Departments and find out how to get what is DUE. Otherwise the same RW loons who "occupied Congress" will encourage their RW loon Congress members to take the money away from those tenant/landlord rent assistance programs (they have already started doing some of that during the Infrastructure Plan pay-for negotiations).

(25,816 posts)need to pay their bills? I'm not sure when the free rent started, maybe a year ago, so a monthly
rent of say $700 would put these people in debt for $8400. Are some people in dire straights? Sure.
Are some people taking advantage of the benefits? Probably.

Gaetz, Greene and Gohmert get 'locked out' of jail during stunt to visit Jan. 6 'political prisoners'
https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaetz-marjorie-taylor-greene-jail/
Link to tweet
"Conservative news outlets OAN and RSBN covered the lawmakers' attempt to enter the facility. The stunt was billed as an attempt to check on the welfare of Jan. 6 "political prisoners."
But before Gaetz could open the door, it was locked by an officer.
"They think we're trespassing," Greene complained."
I hope there are plans to mobilize law enforcement or the national guard to deal with these traitors.

(20,867 posts)Is this surprising to anyone?
In all fairness I don't know what our DOJ is doing behind the scenes but up to this point they haven't done nearly enough to hold people accountable for trying to overthrow our democratic government.
Why didn't the DOJ step in and stop the Arizona fraudit? Federal laws were violated and are still being violated, now the Qanon people want information from routers that would affect state-wide security.

(17,781 posts)a hundred magats show up. Some get rowdy and get arrested. The rest stay home because this has gotten too real, they'd rather not be seen pee peeing their pants in public and ending up on the docket of some DC court. Other than that, this is probably another scam meant to separate magats from their money. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that last part. They kind of deserve to be separated from their money.

We need to show up in force at this "protest". These treasonous pigs do not understand what patriotism is and they need to be taught.

(15,958 posts)President Biden is in charge now, not the Rancid Mango, which means this thing will be handled as it should be.
Counter protesters showing up would just create confusion for Capitol Police and any other security forces deployed to help them. It would also give the other side ammunition (photos, video clips) to use against us to "prove" that the left is responsible for any violence that occurs. Just think how much they would love that!
"We" do not need to be there. "We" need to support our president by staying the hell away and letting the Capitol Police and other security forces do their job.
The Jungle 1
(4,552 posts)Ignoring the ongoing temper tantrums of these ignorant, childish, ass hats is exactly what got us here. We cannot and I will not ignore them. Everything they do needs to be sternly called out for the treason it is. We appeased the south after the Civil War and the south is still celebrating the war of treason that they lost!! Push back and push back hard! They are nazis, fascists and white supremacist and we must crush them. There is no middle ground here. America is at risk.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Edmund Burke (maybe made this statement)
I will not do nothing while the fascist right grows. They want us to sit down. No I will not do it!
Without sounding condescending I suggest you read some 1930s German history. Consider the way much of the world reacted to Hitler and his party of fascist pigs.
America is at a crossroad again. Pick carefully your path. ANTIFA is a great American organization. We need to support them.

(90,195 posts)How does one get in touch? Ive been to several marches on Washington, all peaceful, and they were organized well in advance, by people and groups proud to show their names. Ive been on numerous protest marches in my own town and state same thing.
So tell me more about this great organization we need to support.
The Jungle 1
(4,552 posts)When I say support I don't mean money. They need us to back and "support" what they do.
They are not running around the woods "training" like the white supremacist, fascist on the right.
Our parents fought fascists once the least we can do is support anti fascist.
Again, doing nothing is not an option.

Again, just my opinion, but it seems like the average "MAGA" warrior wannabee is more interested in pics and role playing and being part of the Trump reality show for the folks back home. But they do make one hell of a distraction.
