The Daily Sedition Watch

We continue to curate the seditious cranks among us.

Oath Keeper crackpot:

Stewart Rhodes, pro-Trump leader of the anti-government extremist group Oath Keepers, posted an open letter to President Donald Trump Monday urging Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against “domestic traitors,” order “trusted military units” to “seize all databases of the CIA, FBI, NSA, DNI, etc and the records held by all state electoral systems and administrators,” and declassify evidence of treason by “corrupt and compromised elites” who he claimed had worked with the Chinese government to subvert the election.

The letter echoes comments Rhodes made at a Dec. 12 “prayer rally” on the National Mall, where he warned Trump that if he doesn’t take action, right-wing militias will have to do so in a “much more bloody war.”

Secessionist crackpot:

On Tuesday, Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg) said that he is committed to authoring legislation in the 2021 legislative session that will give Texans a vote to allow the state to secede from the U.S.

"The federal government is out of control and does not represent the values of Texans," he wrote on Facebook. "That is why I am committing to file legislation this session that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation."

Convicted felon and utter disgrace to the uniform he once wore (again):

Here's Michael Flynn on Newsmax saying that Trump could order "military capabilities" to swing states and "rerun an election in each of those states."

Armed Thugs In The Streets Of Ferguson, MO !

Oh, they're white armed thugs.  "Oath Keepers." Five heavily armed ultra-right wing nullifiers.  There last night to protect the lives of innocent citizens "reporters" for ultra-right wingnut agitprop outlet "InfoWars."

Upon seeing them, they were immediately ordered by police to lay down their arms and leave the vicinity.  Haha no!  They were allowed to strut around a community with tiny penis compensators loaded weapons at a time of heightened tension to intimidate local residents.  And. No. One. Said. Boo.

Imagine, if you will, a group of heavily armed African Americans "guarding" the streets of Ferguson, MO.  What would the police and local authorities' response have been?  We think that brief exercise tells you all you need to know about what's going on here.

Welcome to post-racial America, y'all!  (h/t Little Green Footballs)
