This is the way.

littlemissdaisy.bsky.social•75 days ago

Right? Go on the offense stop trying to defend something that doesn’t need to be defended. Truth and facts will always win at the end of the day. Ask Loudermilk why he’s trying to spin things in a different direction??

vhliv.bsky.social•75 days ago

That would be journalism. We can’t have that.

fucking Loudermilk

teddyboogens.bsky.social•75 days ago

Lol! Its funny to think that the bowing&scraping media would do its job- like Barney Fife solving a crime.

Got so confused about this, as a fan of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5957766/

Democrats need to get aggressive! Motivated!

Wasn't Loudermilk one of the planners giving tours of the Capital the day before the insurrection? They ALWAYS deflect. Let's open that can of worms.

thesamejames.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yes he was. When tours weren't allowed, and they took photos of doors, hallways, staircases, and security cameras.

This is what I've been saying about the Democrats. They are sitting on their hands, not out, fighting these statements tooth and nail. Push back against them, especially a possible candidate for the seat in the next election. It's time to get in the fight or step aside and let someone else lead!

YES! We need to continue to put them on the defensive. Every. Single. Day.

Let me get this straight you think a WHouse & DNC that was incapable of using their bully pulpit re their investment in the US economy is going to be able to highlight some Congressman 99.9% of Americans have never heard of over dt's J6 actions which they never cared about in the 1st place? Yea, no.

We need to start the attacks, rumors whether true or not and start the ball rolling with our own Big Lies. We have to stop being the wimps they expect.

barbholton.bsky.social•75 days ago

I made a poor decision and turned to CNN this morning.
They were covering Trump’s threat regarding Cheney. Yes, they did go back to Republican remarks condemning Trump immediately after J6, but it was like this is a “real issue” for lawmakers to review.
Appalling that MSM does this every day.
🤬🤬🤬🤬

Yup. Every clause in Loudermilk's anti-DoD polemic that you posted earlier makes marginally more sense if, at the end of each clause, you add the phrase "and President Trump did nothing".

I think whoever they go after first, we should call their bluff.

Push for a speedy trial and only fight to denote violations of rights.

Then put them on trial as the Defense.

rustytoddler.bsky.social•74 days ago

I like it.

That would mean that msm needs to be on that script….

mrchompchomp.bsky.social•75 days ago

Trump will relentlessly and endlessly attack the truth. The only way to beat him is to relentlessly defend it.

But that’s hard work. It’s also boring and tedious as fuck. So no one is doing it.

And this is a core irony of our situation. Trump wins mostly because he is too stupid to get bored.

Here's what Barry Loudermilk covered up for Trump: his valet's testimony describing how IMMEDIATELY after returning from his Ellipse speech, Trump went to dining room hoping to see his own speech, only to find it had been superseded by riot he caused.
