        Those were the same people that overturned the crown to not pay taxes.

        I imagine contemporary American rich people to be yet more bloodthirsty for our collective sovereignty to be overturned this time for the rest of the public wanting them to pay taxes.

        Again.

    Is anyone else other than newrepublic reporting on this? If they’re not, then they’re ok with it.

        I’m sorry, I don’t understand what that image is showing. Can you explain it please?

          Looks like Raw Story, Rolling Stone, The Daily Beast, The Independent, and whatever that middle one is have reported. Ground is suggesting all but the latter is left-leaning.

    I agree that Bill Barr belongs in jail and is a POS. I never thought I’d agree with Roger Stone on anything.

    Edit: Now there’s 2, Kushner is an idiot.

      Why not take care of both problems by lobbing a Stone at Barr?

    As much as I hate Roger Stone and think he should go to prison for many other reasons, can somebody point out the timestamp in the video where he says he’s “plotting a coup for November”? I watched the whole thing and all I got was him shit-talking Bill Burr and Jared Kushner, and some toothless bullshit about state-based lawsuits, which will fly just as miserably as it did in 2020. Then they talked about Harris’ ethicity, and whether it’s a good political argument for the campaign or not.

    Honestly, it’s this reporter who’s trying really really fucking hard to put words in his mouth, and Roger is being very careful about the direction of the conversation, while still entertaining this fake supporter’s arguments. This whole article stinks of some undercover reporter getting a lukewarm interview and trying to turn it into some sensational headline.

    This video isn’t “damning” at all. Bullshit headlines like this makes all of the actual investigative journalism look bad.
