Years before law enforcement seized the contents of Ian Rogers’ safe, he earned a reputation as a talented mechanic and successful Napa Valley business owner. Rogers catered to an elite clientele of Jaguar, Land Rover and Rolls-Royce owners inside a garage off Napa’s main drag, a street spotted with boutiques and high-end bed and breakfasts.

The 47-year-old from Sonoma County, who appeared to have a passion for guns according to Facebook posts where he dissed prominent Democrats, was also a loving husband and father who paid his bills on time, according to his family and friends.

In the fall of 2020, in the weeks after Joe Biden was declared the next president of the United States, Rogers sent an ominous text to someone he trusted, according to court records.

“Ok bro we need to hit the enemy in the mouth,” he messaged.

“Yeah so we punch Soros,” Rogers’ former employee and gym buddy, Jarrod Copeland, texted back, referring to billionaire investor George Soros.

1. "Loving husband and father who paid his bills on time,"

Bullshit.

No one wanting to heap praise does so by saying another person “pays their bills on time”. He was probably every bit as violent at home as he wanted to be at the HQ.

13. The face of today's GOPee, alas.

When they decided to embrace the deep-fried Dixiecrats and the John Birch fascists, the dice were cast.

The rest was just a matter of time.

You got that right! You can EASILY go back to the summer of 2008. Even then it would still not be far enough back.

16. I would bet they had right-wing talk radio on in that auto shop all day long.

Cult 45 members just ain't very smart (thank goodness). My fear is that cases like this will just drive these snakes deeper into their secretive hole.
