Nazis pioneered The Nebulous Enemy: The enemy is overpowered and cunning, while beeing simultaneously weak and stupid. The enemy is communist or a patriotic friend. Everything is a distraction from the epstain files.

Edit: swear it was an unintentional typo.

Compensation for what? By accepting the pardon they admitted guilt.

The panel, which McCloskey called a “voluntary nonjudicial resolution committee,” would review rioters’ cases individually, he said, then assign them amounts based on the harms they claimed to have suffered from the federal government.

He would want it to be led by Jeanine Pirro, now in charge of the District of Columbia federal prosecutor’s office that filed charges against the almost 1,600 people who took part in the attack on Congress.

McCloskey first came into the public eye in 2020 when he pointed an AR-15-style rifle at social justice protesters outside his home in St. Louis in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis.

The grift goes on.
