The picture in black and white with a cream background is of a badly injured bald eagle. Its legs are in bandages with strapping around its neck and on its head. Some of its feathers are lying on the ground, detached painfully from its body.

But— but— John Roberts himself said in his immunity ruling that presidents need to be able to act “unhesitatingly.” Is he now saying Trump has to literally hesitate? So… maybe that immunity ruling was stupid, dangerous, and wrong? And he’s a f***ing idiot?

The core far-right conspiracy theory about January 6 has for years been that law enforcement set the Proud Boys up. What do you know? It was exactly the opposite. Law enforcement was in fact trying to help them. As ever, take whatever the far right is saying, reverse it, and you have actual reality.
