    One thing I noted in the article was this:
    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/23/us/politics/jan-6-investigator-fired-university-of-virginia.html
    "One top Virginia Republican said that Mr. Heaphy had angered some Republicans in the state by acting too independently in his job at the university and for his role in the university’s decision in 2020 to allow a student to post a highly critical sign about the school on their door. Mr. Heaphy had privately made the case to the school’s president that while the profanity on the sign was offensive, removing it would have infringed upon the student’s First Amendment rights."

    Given all the outcry on the Right about universities trampling on students and faculty rights of free speech shouldn't those complaining about "Academic Freedom" and "Censorship" in academia be defending Heaphy?

    Pro-Trump influencer sentenced to three years of probation for his participation in the Capitol riot

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/24/politics/brandon-straka-capitol-riot/index.html

    excerpt:

    Brandon Straka, a self-described "former liberal" who founded the #WalkAway campaign to encourage people to leave the Democratic Party, admitted to recording himself telling the mob to "go go go" as they reached the Capitol and telling rioters who were wrestling a shield away from a US Capitol Police officer to "take it, take it."

    Important lesson... if you are going to plan out the overthrow of the government, don't do it on your work computer...

    if that clown were replaced with Marjorie Taylor Green (a wholly different kind of clown) and you changed the word "Trump" with "Jews", it would seem real.

    Just goes to show his one sided bias on crime. If they do what he asks, he pardons them. If they are against him, then they are thugs and criminals who he wants locked up. Look at all the white collar criminals he pardoned to help him plot his violent takeover to rule.

    I’ve heard many cite Trump’s boat parades and rallies versus Biden’s lack of those as proof that Trump actually won.
