Here at the West Side of the Capitol, stage being assembled for "Justice for J6" defendants rally.

Good morning!

Here at the West Side of the Capitol, stage being assembled for “Justice for J6” defendants rally.

Police have two layers of barricades and then a line of cops standing between the rally point and the Capitol reflecting pool.

The one lone counter-protest display adjacent to the rally has a request to investigate a specific state Senator listed on it addressed to the January 6 commission, and the word “loser” on a Trump-style banner.

Plenty of taxpayer money was spent on preparation.

Add that to the costs of these phony election audits and the California recall.

And the costs of treating unvaccinated covid sufferers. It all adds up.

Yesterday he claimed today was " a set up". Translation: Because so few will attend he can claim "I told them not to go because it was a set up". In a few days he will back channel to the proud little boys and the GQPers ..."See how I helped you great partriots".

OK when the message is to organize to destroy Democracy? Feels like it's OK under the guise of Free Speech and not called out as sedition.
