Rough portrayals of 4 men in Michigan governor kidnap plot excerpt: "They didn't come up as much as Croft and Fox in the first two days of trial. But Roth said they were considered soldiers in Fox's “kill squad.” Harris, a former Marine infantryman, suggested killing Whitmer would be better than kidnapping her, perhaps "posing as a pizza delivery person and shooting her at home,” the prosecutor said. Caserta's home in Canton Township, Michigan, was full of antigovernment items, and he talked about crushing the governor's skull, Roth said. “You will hear him say, ’Whatever we do in the future, this is my personal choice to be involved here,'" Roth said."

Trump says plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer was ‘maybe a problem, maybe it wasn’t’ excerpt: "Donald Trump openly mocked Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer over a plot foiled by federal authorities to kidnap her, saying it was “my people” that saved her. “And we'll have to see if it's a problem, right? People are entitled to say, ‘Maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn't,’” he said during a cold and rainy Tuesday campaign stop in Lansing, Michigan.

Barr calls progressives 'dangerous,' indicates he could support Trump in presidential rematch excerpt: "Former Attorney General William Barr on Sunday said progressives are “dangerous” to the country and indicated that he could support Donald Trump should he win the Republican nomination in 2024. Barr said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that he’d favor a generic Republican nominee over the former president if he decides to run again. But when host Chuck Todd asked whether he would support Trump over Joe Biden in a potential presidential rematch, the former attorney general said: “Well, I think there are a lot of American people right now that might prefer having him back in office than Biden.”"
Pence is still trying to rationalize how he can ride the coattails of Trump minus Trump's riot at the Capitol that forced him to flee to the basement to save his own life while Trump sat for hours and did nothing to stop it. Minus Trump's support for people who wanted to kidnap governor Whitmer of MI. Minus Trump's support for his adherents who ran the BIden-Harris tour bus off the road. Minus Trump's love of Putin and his invasion of Ukraine. Minus Trump's remark about grabbing women by the crotch. Pence fine-tunes a message for 2024: Pro-Trump, to a point

The cheating super rich, the bought and sold legislators that enable them , the gutless republicans that would sell this country and it's citizens out ( and are doing so) in a minute. Yeah--they (we ) are dangerous all right.
Barr acknowledged Trump's relentless pettiness, his desire to overthrow a fair election, his insurrection at the Capitol that, to date, has left 11 people dead. He left his post in December 2020 in frustration right before the situation turned very ugly. Yet, like Graham, McConnell, and McCarthy (whose office windows were smashed by Trump's rioters while he was on the phone with Trump who refused to help him), Barr indicates that he'd support Trump all over again if he wins the 2024 nomination.
McCarthy has refused to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee because it would damage his defense of Trump whose dereliction of duty during his riot nearly cost McCarthy his life. McCarthy Rejects Jan. 6 Panel Request: ‘Nothing More to Add’
Article from February 2021. Trump told McCarthy that rioters 'more upset about the election than you are': report excerpt: "The news outlet reported that McCarthy pressed Trump to call off the riot, and they ended up in a shouting match. According to the lawmakers, Trump said, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” The quote was first mentioned by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), who was one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, during a town hall. She and other Republicans confirmed it to CNN. Herrera Beutler, who also later shared the quote in a statement, told the news outlet that the line demonstrated that “either [Trump] didn't care, which is impeachable, because you cannot allow an attack on your soil, or he wanted it to happen and was OK with it, which makes me so angry.”"
27,000 rejected ballots for the March 1st primary in Texas in the name of Trump's 'election integrity'. 27,000 rejected ballots is unacceptable excerpt: "That seems to be the message to many Texas voters — Republicans and Democrats alike — after more than 27,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 120 counties for the March 1 primary, according to reporting by The Associated Press. Though many of those rejections may yet be remedied, early returns put the rejection rate among mail voters at about 17%, dramatically higher than in the 2020 general election, when fewer than 1% of mail-in ballots were rejected statewide, according to The AP."
