Well, thinskin, as usual you assume facts not in evidence. "The right" does not support or condone the overthrow of the government.

Its what most AMERICANS are fighting to stop. Your spew is dismissed.

 

But they're ok with providing absolutely zero evidence.

 

"They" ?

 

You're the one who can't define what you meant by "they".

 

Smack it again, genius.

 

Hey, you're the one refuses to explain what you meant.

GOP lawmaker to pack heat because Wisconsin election audit is ‘jazzing up’ dangerous people

State Sen. Kathleen Bernier on Facebook



Intimidation of election officials by supporters of Donald Trump believing his "Big Lie" of election fraud was illustrated on Monday in Wisconsin.

Republican state Sen. Kathleen Bernier, who chairs Wisconsin's Senate Elections Committee, suggested she would be armed to protect herself during an upcoming hearing with former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gablemn, who is conducting widely-panned partisan investigation into the 2020 election.

"GOP state Sen. Kathy Bernier says Gableman is 'jazzing up' people who don't know what they're talking about regarding elections," Milwaukee Journal Sentinel correspondent Patrick Marley reported.

"Mr. Gableman is coming to my county and I will attend that meeting along with my concealed carry permit, to be honest," Bernier said.



Bernier was speaking alongside former Obama White House counsel Bob Bauer and longtime GOP lawyer Ben Ginsberg. The two are the co-chairs of the new Election Official Legal Defense Network.

On Friday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an op-ed by the two under the headline, "Intimidation of election officials in Wisconsin has to stop. It is corrosive to our democracy."

"The recent pattern of attempted intimidation of state and local election officials, combined with attempts to inject partisan influence over the casting and counting of votes, has thrust Wisconsin into the harsh spotlight of a destructive nationwide trend which, if successful, will corrode public faith in our election process," they warned.

Here is Marley's full thread:

Pennsylvania Man Who Planted Explosives After BLM Protest Sentenced to Probation, Thanks to Judge Who Was Convinced ‘He Had a Breakdown’

A Pennsylvania man who planted bombs at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020 won’t spend any more time in jail after a district court judge sentenced him on Monday to time served and three years of probation.

Matthew Michanowicz, a 53-year-old Pennsylvania man, admitted he planted a backpack of explosives in downtown Pittsburgh hours after a Black Lives Matter protest in the days following George Floyd’s death last year.

None of the three bombs exploded, but prosecutors say they could have hurt or killed people if they detonated.

Judge Donetta W. Ambrose sentenced Michanowicz on time served for the 18 months he’s spent behind bars while awaiting trial, and three years of supervised release, starting with the first 180 days in home detention.


Michanowicz faced up to 10 years in prison for charges of illegal possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Defense attorney Ken Haber told The Washington Post Ambrose may have considered Michanowicz’s mental state when she handed down the lighter sentence.

“I think the judge was somewhat convinced that he had a breakdown,” Haber said. The attorney said. Michanowicz was stressed at the time that he planted the devices and didn’t intend for them to detonate or harm anybody, his defense claimed.

On May, 31, 2020, six days after former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin murdered Floyd, and one day after a Black Lives Matter protest turned destructive in downtown Pittsburgh, Michanowicz rode his bike to the area.

He left a camouflage backpack containing three explosive devices on 2 PNC Plaza. The next morning, police responded to the plaza over a report of a suspicious bag. Inside the bag were three “homemade Molotov cocktails,” police said.

Michanowicz had filled three pepper-spray containers with gasoline and stuck wicks inside.

Surveillance footage showing a man carrying the bag pointed police in Michanowicz’s direction. Days later, an officer spotted Michanowicz in the same area where the backpack was found.

He admitted he was the man seen on surveillance footage. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives searched Michanowicz’s home and found more materials similar to the ones used to make the devices, and 10 camouflage backpacks like the one planted at the scene.

Michanowicz pleased guilty in August 2021 to placing the bag filled with explosive devices at the plaza.

Around the time of the incident, Michanowicz had been having a difficult time, according to Haber. He’d recently lost his job as a medical salesman and his father and close friend had just died.

“This is the product of someone who was a highly successful person who had a bit of a breakdown,” Haber said.

Across the country, protesters have been sentenced to prison time for their roles in the demonstrations that spread across the country last year.

Shamar Betts, 20, was sentenced to four years in federal prison in August on charges of inciting a riot after he posted a provocative flyer on social media before a protest turned destructive in Salt Lake City, Utah.

From May to October of 2020, prosecutors filed more than 300 charges related to protests, according to The Prosecution Project.

Trump fanatics threaten citizen’s arrest against anyone who pokes ex-president’s ‘fragile psyche’: conservative

Donald Trump has effectively deputized a "mob" of vigilantes who are intimidating elected officials and civilians across the country, according to one conservative.

Armed extremists have threatened citizens arrests of public officials and others in various states in an intimidation campaign that bears strong similarities to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and The Bulwark's Mona Charen said that's no coincidence.

"Stories of threats and violence aimed at ordinary Americans who are simply serving on school boards, supervising elections, holding public office, opening a mobile vaccine clinic, or having the effrontery to be elected as secretary of state are not new," Charen wrote. "It’s a mashup of pandemic-induced mania, social media misinformation, Trump-incited disinhibition, and something in the water."

The citizen's arrest is rooted in English common law and has been codified in many states, often with strict limitations on its use and by whom, but this recent trend is different.



"The invocation of the citizen’s arrest as an excuse for political violence is new," Charen wrote. "Trump set this table with his 'lock her up' chants in 2016, his accusations of treason against New York Times guest editorialists, the FBI, and anyone else who damaged his fragile psyche. His 2019 Twitter tantrum at Representative Adam Schiff was the gold standard."

Trump ordered Schiff questioned for "Fraud & Treason" and then upped the ante by calling for his arrest the next day on "Treason" during the first impeachment saga, and threats against elected officials doubled between 2017 and 2020 -- and the mob of supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol to overturn the former president's election loss echoed that language during the riot.

"It’s not enough to see these people as revolutionaries or criminals or dupes," Charen said. "Some may be all of those things, but there is a substrate of perverted patriotism here. The frequent invocation of the citizens’ arrest signifies a wish for legitimacy. They yearn to be responsible citizens, upholding the law and the Constitution and the duties of the individual. They have been corrupted, but that’s all the more reason for the rest of the American people to assert their uncorrupted patriotism more boldly."

"They must get active and defend the election workers, health care workers, school board members, journalists, politicians, secretaries of state, and anyone else who is being intimidated, hounded, or abused by the mob," she added. "If patriotism animates only the worst among us, we are lost."

Rittenhouse gets run out of his Arizona education by a bunch of progressive thugs, and in Portland even sporting an American flag on your vehicle will get you attacked by Antifa/blm thugs, and to even say one objects to bidens pig bills invites attacks from progressives.

But let parents become alarmed at what amounts to brainwashing of their kids and they get labeled as fanatics and vigilantes.

Proud Boys bringing ‘menacing politics’ to the local level ahead of 2022 midterms: report

Bob Brigham
December 14, 2021



www.rawstory.com


The violent extremist group that Donald Trump refused to condemn during a 2020 presidential debate is focusing on local politics ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

"Members of the Proud Boys, the far-right nationalist group, have increasingly appeared in recent months at town council gatherings, school board presentations and health department question-and-answer sessions across the country. Their presence at the events is part of a strategy shift by the militia organization toward a larger goal: to bring their brand of menacing politics to the local level," The New York Times reported Tuesday.

During a 2020 debate, Trump refused to denounce white supremacists and instead told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."



"For years, the group was known for its national profile. The Proud Boys were prominent at the rallies of Donald J. Trump, at one point offering to serve as the former president’s private militia. On Jan. 6, some Proud Boys members filmed themselves storming the U.S. Capitol to protest what they falsely said was an election that had been stolen from Mr. Trump," the newspaper reported. "Away from the national spotlight, the Proud Boys instead quietly shifted attention to local chapters, some members and researchers said. In small communities — usually suburbs or small towns with populations of tens of thousands — its followers have tried to expand membership by taking on local causes. That way, they said, the group can amass more supporters in time to influence next year’s midterm elections."

The Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters — which have also been implicated in the Jan. 6 attack — are also focusing locally.

‘Sovereign Citizen’ Throws Wild Courtroom Tantrum, Attacking Judge and Bailiff

A man attacked a bailiff, a judge, and at least one prosecutor when he showed up to a Harris County courtroom on fraud charges Tuesday morning, prosecutors said. Joseph Catarineau, a 58-year-old self-proclaimed sovereign citizen, was initially charged in 2018 with making false statements on his financial records. He was in court that day to discuss his attorney’s Dec. 13 request to withdraw from his case. When Judge Danny Lacayo began asking him about a court-appointed attorney, a witness told the Houston Chronicle, Catarineau became agitated and started talking back. As Lacayo ordered a bailiff to take Catarineau into custody, to be held without bond, Catarineau allegedly grabbed the court officer’s ponytail, pulled her to the ground, and began punching her.

Lacayo rushed from the bench to help, as did Jacob Salinas, a former college football lineman and prosecutor, who began fighting with Catarineau. The bailiff, a sheriff’s deputy, pulled out a Taser, but Catarineau allegedly knocked it out of her hand and returned to trading blows with the judge and the prosecutor. The deputy managed to shoot Catarineau with the stun gun, but because Lacayo and Salinas were holding him down, they were hit by the shock as well. Catarineau will likely now face three counts of assault of a public servant.

School board member punched in the face as debate over Native American mascot turns violent: report








On Wednesday, The Daily Beast reported that a school board member in Glastonbury, Connecticut was punched in the face during a contentious meeting about changing a local mascot referencing Native Americans.

"The dust-up between the parent, Mark Finocchiaro, and board secretary Ray McFall, took place during a 10-minute recess after tempers flared amid a public comment period about the Glastonbury Tomahawks name, which was changed last year to the Glastonbury Guardians," reported Justin Rohrlich. "A committee was formed to consider changing the Tomahawks name and logo in the wake of nationwide protests following the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by a Minneapolis police officer. The choice was all-but solidified when the National Congress of American Indians subsequently contacted the board and asked that the tomahawk logo and mascot be phased out."


According to the report, the confrontation occurred during a ten minute recess.

"Cellphone video recorded by bystanders at Tuesday’s session showed Finocchiaro, 53, confront the 57-year-old McFall, standing nose-to-nose with the former Marine Corps officer. When McFall gently pushed Finocchiaro away, Finocchiaro responded by punching McFall, who immediately dropped to the floor," said the report. "McFall was able to get back up on his own and did not appear to be seriously injured. Glastonbury Town Councilman John Cavanna was at the meeting, and stepped in to break up the altercation."

This incident comes as the FBI and Justice Department are increasing scrutiny on violent threats made against educators around the country — an effort that Republicans in Congress and right-wing media have baselessly characterized as an attempt to silence the First Amendment rights of parents.

South Carolina GOP official charged with assaulting city councilman who accepted Biden won the election

Matthew Chapman
December 17, 2021





On Friday, the Post and Courier reported that a prominent Republican official in Lexington County, South Carolina has been charged with assault for an altercation with a West Columbia city councilman at a Christmas party.

"Angus Godwin, 51, a member of Lexington County GOP’s executive committee, was charged with third-degree assault and battery for striking West Columbia Councilman Mike Green, according to an incident report from the Lexington Police Department," reported Casey Darnell. "Green told Post and Courier Columbia he was slapped in the face during the county GOP’s Christmas Party on Dec. 6 at the O’Hara’s Public House restaurant in the town of Lexington. Godwin and Green were on opposite sides of a West Columbia election this fall."

According to the report, Godwin turned himself in to authorities after the incident.

"Godwin’s alleged assault on Green was the culmination of a months-long feud within the party over what other members see as Green’s insufficient support of former President Donald Trump, Green said," the report continued. "The Lexington County GOP passed a resolution in October calling on the state Legislature to conduct an audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Lexington County, where Trump won by a wide margin. Green voted for Trump but accepts President Joe Biden as the country’s legitimately elected leader, a position that has angered the more hardline Trump supporters in the party, he said."



“It’s crazy. These people are just not rational,” Green told the paper, adding, "In 20 years of doing politics, I have never been treated like that. Never."

Trump's "Big Lie" that the election was stolen has divided Republicans all around the country, with many officials defending the integrity of the election being targeted for abuse. In Arizona, one state senator who criticized his party's controversial secretive "audit" of Maricopa County was driven into retirement by death threats. Meanwhile, a number of Republicans running for top election posts around the country are vowing to put Trump's conspiracy theories into policy practice.
