May this case move forward with vigor and of course, with success. This will help to bring before he folks of our United States, why some Capitol assaulters did what they did on 1/6/21. Because DJT urged them to per Dustin Thompson and his attorney's point of views.

Dustin Thompson of Ohio was charged with multiple counts related to January 6, 2021, including entering restricted grounds, theft of government property, and disorderly conduct. He has pleaded not guilty.

In court filings obtained by Insider, his attorney, Samuel Shamansky, has sought to implicate Trump in his client's actions. On Friday, Shamansky asked the judge to subpoena Trump and some of his allies, including former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House strategist Steve Bannon.



In addition to the subpoena request, Thompson's lawyer said in a separate motion on Friday that he plans to use what is known as a "public authority defense" on behalf of his client, which argues the defendant was authorized by a government agent to engage in illegal activity.
 
I appreciate the vigorous defense his attorney is employing, but this sure seems like a really desperate move.
 
January 6 is to Democrats what the Reichstag Fire was to the Nazis. The parallels are undeniable. In each case it’s a Left Wing authoritarian political party using false flag operation or at worst incident created small minority of political opposition to grab power and slander their all of their political opponents.
 

I think you used two wrong words in your comment.

January 6 is to [some] Republicans what the Reichstag Fire was to the Nazis. The parallels are undeniable. In each case it’s a Right-Wing authoritarian political party using false flag operation or at worst incident created by a small minority of political opposition to grab power and slander their all of their political opponents.
 

The Nazis were not a left wing party.
 
Yeah, the Nazi's were left wing because of that 'S', right?
Dumb post.
 
ok
 
Butbutbut that 'S'!
The Nazis and Fascist were and are Leftist Just like you.

Pre WW2 every Leftist from Linen to FDR was happy to admit it. After WW2 the Left realized that they had to separate themselves from the Nazis and Fascists. So, they started an Orwell style rewrite of history. By controlling most of the media and academia they almost got away with it. But the original documents and publications still exist.

Take the Nazis 25-point governing plan, update the terminology and translate it to English and you have a document that would make Bernie Sanders jizz in his pants.

In an interview Bernie was asked to explain the economics of “Democratic Socialism” and he gave a textbook perfect description of “Economic Fascism”. I doubt the Old Douc-bag himself had any Idea.

 
Unless he has a handwritten letter, a text message or email directly from Trumps account to him, he has nothing.
 
Bad faith lie and attempt at derailment is bad faith lie and attempt at derailment
 
The Nazis were not a left wing party.
and Hitler was backed by the Conservatives
their the ones that help put him in power
have a nice day
 
"Lie" why because you say? No thanks I'll pass.
The whole nazis being liberal thing has been debunked on this forum probably over a thousand times at this point

Due to that, it’s well established and it’s easier just to call out a lie for what it is.
 

You obviously do not know that Sanders would have been killed together with the other Jews in Nazi Germany

From the Nazi 25-point plan you obviously never read


4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.
5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be
under the authority of legislation for foreigners


It sounds more like MAGA "Make Germany Great Again"
 
and Hitler was backed by the Conservatives
their the ones that help put him in power
have a nice day
See # 12.

The term Conservative doesn't define Right or Left, especially in 1930s Europe.

If the US were founded as a Socialist country than Bernie Sanders would be the Conservative today. In Canada today the Conservatives are the Left.

That is the key! There is NOTHING! It's just the ongoing nutty threads about president Trump.
Watch what happens when he announces he is going to run in2024! heads will be exploding...............

What?
Conservatives are considered to be on the right of the political scale
and in the 1930 they were the ones that backed Hitler and help put him in power

https://www.theholocaustexplained.o...-to-power/the-role-of-the-conservative-elite/

The conservative elite’s second move towards authoritarian rule was helping the Nazi Party to gain power. The conservative elite and the Nazi Party had a common enemy – the political left .

As Hitler controlled the masses support for the political right, the conservative elite believed that they could use Hitler and his popular support to ‘democratically’ take power. Once in power, Hitler could destroy the political left. Destroying the political left would help to remove the majority of political opponents to the ring-wing conservative elite.
so reading a little about history may help
Have a nice day
 
Nice Try, but you really screwed up bad.

Yes Hitler did mostly choose his victims by Race and Religion while others like Stalin and Mao chose theirs by economic class and political Ideology, as well as race although not as often.

How Leftist mass murders choose their victims usually relies on the time, place, and situation that they are in.

When I said "update the terminology" means you could easily change #4 & #5 to a more Stalin, Mao, or Bernie model.

Racism doesn't define Right or Left, but the Collectivist policies described in #11 through #25 do:

11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.

12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

15. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.

[…]

25. In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations.

The formation of professional committees and of committees representing the several estates of the realm, to ensure that the laws promulgated by the central authority shall be carried out by the federal states.



Fun Fact: According to his own book Hitler's hatred of Jews came largely from his hatred of Capitalism. During the same time Germany had a Great Depression that was a lot worse than ours and Jewish Businessmen very visibly were some of the only people prospering, which caused extreme hatred and jealously among most Germans including Hitler.

Another Fun Fact: Democrats today are still the same nasty racist that they were 100 years ago. The only thing to change is that after WW2 they realized that White Supremacy was becoming unpopular and therefore no longer a winning political strategy. The did not give up on racism they just started expositing it from the opposite direction, switching from White Supremacy to Identity Politics or CRT and from the KKK to groups like BLM.
