All dressed up but now what?

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification

Just weeks before Donald Trump led his attempted autogolpe Stewart Rhodes was inciting the Oath Keepers to civil war. Rhodes formed the white supremacist militia in 2009 after Barack Obama was elected POTUS but is now serving an 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy for his role in Trump's insurrection. 

After bankrupting Ammon Bundy and sending him into hiding Idaho's St. Luke's bolstered security protocols amid threats from the state's Republican Attorney General and others in his party. Idaho is the third most lucrative state to practice medicine just behind Montana and South Dakota as doctors flee persecution from militants like Dorothy Moon, the Bircher who's Chair of the Republican Party there. Raúl Labrador is an Earth hater and Mormon who was born in Puerto Rico, elected to Congress in 2010 with support of the John Birch Society, was Chair of the IDGOP before becoming attorney general and says he believes a fertilized egg is an unborn child.

American Redoubt guy, James Rawles is still blogging away about preparedness for the End Times and awaiting orders as his orange god's transition gaggle is barred from talking to the Biden administration.

Montana's chorus of anti-education legislators included Basin's own Alan Hale, until he died. Today, the state's legislature is no longer recognizable as a democratic body but rages on as a Trumpian horde and Jefferson County is every bit as rabid as any in Montana.

Lee Newspapers and the Montana State News Bureau are running a series on Tactical Civics, a militia group wondering what's next after their Proud Boys brethren were told to "stand back and stand by."
"If we have 50 members, where are they?" a woman named Cathy asked the group. The disappointment that night has been expressed in interviews over the past six months with current and former Tactical Civics members who spoke to the Montana State News Bureau for this series. Travis McAdam, with the Southern Poverty Law Center, said historically such groups have lost momentum during Republican presidential terms. After Jan. 6 and the resulting prosecutions, those networks were decimated, sending mobilization efforts back to the local and regional levels with plans to rebrand themselves as forces for good, McAdam said.

In Wyoming members of the so-called Freedom Caucus are preparing to crash the legislative session in Cheyenne so maybe that's the next storm front of the End Times. 

Trump World's man for secretary of Defense has close ties to a Moscow, Idaho-based white christofascist cult that aims to turn America into a theocracy.
