So, Republican professional political ratf**ker Roger Stone had some interesting things to say to a contingent of Proud Boys the day before the 2020 election and he said them in front of a film crew whose footage was obtained by CNN:
“F**k the voting, let’s get right to the violence,” Stone can be heard saying, according to footage provided by a Danish documentary film crew and obtained by CNN.
The clip is one of multiple pieces of footage obtained by CNN that the filmmakers also shared with the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The filmmakers tell CNN they came to an agreement to share certain clips with the committee after a subpoena for the footage was signed by the panel’s chairman, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, and delivered to the filmmakers in Copenhagen about two months ago.”
That particular quote by Stone is not in the clip that is now publicly available but I suspect we will see it in the coming weeks.
“The footage shared with the committee may be incorporated into its upcoming hearing this week. Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, suggested publicly over the weekend that the panel has more to reveal about the connection between Stone and domestic extremist groups, as well as efforts to keep Trump in power after the US Capitol attack and the ongoing threats to democracy.
“Stay tuned,” Raskin said at the Texas Tribune festival when asked about Stone’s possible connections to the Capitol riot.
“He’s someone who I think saw where things were going,” Raskin said.“
What you can watch now is Roger Ratfucker telling the Proud Boys that the play would be to say “No, we won, fuck you” no matter what the vote turned out to be…
🚨”I really do suspect it’ll still be up in the air. When that happens, the key thing to do is to claim victory. Possession is nine tenths of the law. 'No, we won.'"
– Roger Stone, Nov. 1 2020 (footage obtained by J6 Committee)
VERY closely matches what Bannon said Oct 31 2020 pic.twitter.com/0PQPcWCkZ1

As the tweet notes this is remarkably similar to what Steve Bannon had to say to Trump donors privately a few days before…
2. Bannon, Oct 31, 2020:
“Trump’s going to take advantage” of red mirage
Trump will tweet, "You lose. I’m the winner"
“He’s gonna declare victory” even if not winner
Plans to hold power if Biden wins by saying Biden “stole it”

Surely this wasn’t like… planned.
Don't forget that he trademarked "Stop the Steal" even before the 2016 election had been held.
This was always their plan. They just didn't need it in 2016.

🤔🤔🤔
We’re living through an endless cycle of republican abuse of power and obstruction of justice that has seen two impeachments and an ongoing insurrection so far. There is no end, no bottom, they simply will not comply with the imperatives of government or institutions of justice

Sorry, Luke, but no shit.
We’re still witnessing the largest under-reaction to a violent insurrection led by a sitting president in the history of humankind. It’s because the Republican Party/trump are experts at one thing: Denying the premise of reality and convincing people anti-government is government

Yup.
Stone and Bannon may be covered by their pardons.
But Trump and Mark Meadows are not.
the ‘pubes lose when people vote on issues. We will see this in the 2022 mid-terms. they have no issues to run on, or only crappy ones when they do, and they will be losing races they probably shouldn’t have lost. Stone knows this better than anyone. He knows the ‘pubes are losers, that the only way they stay in office is through gerrymandered districts (i.e. cheating). The issues in 2022 however are going to bite them in the ass whether they run on them or not. Or perhaps I should say when the run FROM them. lmao
Stone’s and Bannon’s pardons do not cover the insurrection. They are in the barrel w/everyone else.
The two video clips in the diary were both pre-pardon. Of course any evidence of activities that they engaged in after can be used against them.
All this concentrated arrogance from Roger Stone has inspired me to share this epic quote from the second season of Luther as a response:
“I know men like you the way you know men like me. And I know you wouldn’t have done this if there was the least chance of it coming back on you. Well, guess what? It’s come back upon you like the hand of God. And the next words from your mouth will determine the weight and velocity of the staggering tonnage of shit that’s about to plummet onto your head.”
So you base your thinking in life off fucking TV show quotes?
In case anyone forgot what concentrated arrogance looks like…
The Democrats?
A felon pardoned by a future felon. That fat old man couldn’t take my 6y/old adopted daughter. Another armchair ‘warrior’… kinda like the old man known as red the nazipig living in a condo made of stone following orangebob shitpants and runny pissantis.
Unless their pardons said they were covered for any future wrongdoing/lawbreaking/democracy destroying type behaviors, they should be threaded right on the hook like the worms they are. Daddy Don’s pardon power has expired so it’s face the music time for these malefactors! The trump cabal are a bunch of crafty, devious, scheming, and cunning people. But in the end, they’re still lower life forms destined for extinction.
