A Conversation With "Insurrectionist" Adam Johnson

Even Newsweek telling the rest of the story now??

That bodes ill for the official tale...

My view of all this has stayed more or less stable for awhile now. Roughly: Trump set the stage for this with his pre-1/6/21 ranting about Venezuelan satellites or whatever he was going on about. He didn't directly incite violence on the day of...but that doesn't matter that much to me. He--and much of the crowd--went way, way over the line. It was an embarrassment of almost unfathomable proportions. And it's not all that surprising, really, when you look at the nonsense Trump was talking ahead of time. Tell people that an election is being stolen, this is a reasonable reaction. Trump wrote himself off any future ballot, in my opinion. 

   Unfortunately, of course, when you look at the other side of the bigger picture... Well, things are much less clear. And part of that picture is provided by Johnson's account of his unjust treatment. But I'm not going to go into all that here.
