Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“The author gives his opinion on what motivated hundreds of thousands if not millions of protesters to journey to the nations capitol [sic], recalls what he saw and experienced that day, and shares his thoughts on the aftermath.”

Pretty brilliant writing. /s

Thornsberry also published a book called Dakota Black: or ‘The Dragon,’ which he lists as being coauthored with Moby Dick author Herman Melville, who died in 1891.

Lol, lying liar exposed.

The Statement of Facts filed by the FBI in the case claims that Nathan A. Thornsberry published January 6 Redux: A Patriot’s Story under the poorly-disguised pen name “Nathaniel Matthews.” The FBI identified “Matthews” as Thornsberry because the Facebook profile promoting the book was named “Nathan Thornsberry (Nathaniel Matthews)” and subpoenas filed with both Facebook and Amazon returned information that tied the penname to Thornsberry. The book was deleted off of Amazon over the weekend, but the page for an earlier version, called January 6: A Patriot’s Story, is still up.

Good to check in on the Jan 6 brain trust.

"Millions of protestors" in what reality? Lmao

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

The silent majority of course.

It's fun to peek inside their tiny minds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

That only peaked in kindergarten.

You think they can count?

I swear, republicans are dumber than dogshit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

At least dogshit provides nutrients for plants, or something...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Our town has problems with e. coli in its water supply and claimed it was from dog waste.

I think they fits more with OPs comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

So do Republicans.
Just, a little later on...

These people, referring to the idiot author, are the same people who fantasized and watered down how the Civil War went for the Confederacy. We unfortunately now have and will continue to have, the same idiots having their revised takes on what happened on January 6th.

The time capsule also contains a copy of his book, "Swedish made penis enlarger pumps and me. Yes, this sort of thing is my bag, baby"

~~Videotaping~~ Publishing this crime spree is the best idea we ever had!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

This is why I think the gathering for awards in NYC to Jan 6 involvement or wherever is really a sting.

Because these folk are just that stupid.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I can't believe It's not TheOnion.com.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

This fits perfectly with my opinion of them and their ability to critical thinking and common sense.

Thornsberry moved to the front near the barrier in order to protect an old man and a young woman.

He forgot to mention the puppies he rescued.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Well, the building was on fire so he had no choice.

You kind of give your right of the fifth amendment, when you, you know, give up your fifth amendment rights...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Any right that sounds difficult and unpleasant or like you’d have be an idiot not to take it is there solely to improve your life and should generally be taken whenever applicable. The right to remain silent/to not be forced to testify against yourself is the prime example.

It’s fine to confess in a plea deal or out of a guilty conscience, but not for a self published book. At least get a book deal to confess to crimes you can still be charged for

The only safe crime is the crime zero other people know about.

He should have named the book: "If I was there... Confessions of a Rioter"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This is classic fucking around and finding out. LOL!

That damn Wild Thornsberry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of: "I killed Darnell, yeah I shot him with my nine I shot him nine times, 9PM on the dime And by the way it was November 9th" "Shot em with my long ass gun and threw it in the aquarium "

It's just...words, a concept ~~album~~ book.
