Here are a few of the things #Trump has said since returning to office: He has referred to #immigrants as “garbage”; he has called a #female #reporter “piggy” & other #reporters “ugly,” “stupid,” “terrible,” & “nasty”; he has suggested that the murder of a Saudi #journalist by his country’s government was justified; he has labeled a sitting #governor “seriously retarded”; he has blamed the #murder of #RobReiner on the director’s anti-Trump politics; he has called #Democrats the party of “evil.”

@Nonilex The movement of lawlessness and corruption.
Thank you for this thread. It's helpful to learn more about the self-styled "patriots" who carried out the insurrection against America on January 6th. They certainly are not "patriots".
At 1:42 AM on Dec 19, 2020, Donald #Trump — disturbed, humiliated, livid — posted the following message on Twitter: “Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”
In California, David Nicholas Dempsey, a 33-year-old man-child with multiple felony convictions & a profound affection for the president, answered the call. On #Jan6, wearing a tactical vest & an American-flag gaiter, Dempsey came to the Capitol.
Shortly before he assaulted several police officers, he shared his perspectives in an interview given while standing near a #gallows. The gallows had been erected as a reminder to Vice President #MikePence to do, in Trump’s words, “the right thing.”

“Them worthless fucking shitholes like fucking Jerry Nadler, fucking Pelosi, Clapper, Comey, fucking all those pieces of garbage, you know, Obama, all these dudes, Clinton, fuck all these pieces of shit,” Dempsey said. “They don’t need a jail cell. They need to hang from these motherfuckers while everybody videotapes it & fucking spreads it on YouTube.”

Never seen a better example of the correlation between (1) the use of "fucking" in every sentence, and (2) intellectual deficiency of an extreme and disabling kind.
Well... these days that word is a large part of my vocabulary as well, although pointed in a very different direction.
Dempsey was not an organizer of the siege, but he was one of its most energetic participants. He assaulted Metropolitan Police Detective Phuson Nguyen with pepper spray. Nguyen was certain in that moment that he was “going to die,” he later testified. Dempsey assaulted another police officer with a metal crutch, cracking his protective shield & cutting his head.

Dempsey, who was heard yelling “Fuck you, bitch-ass cops!,” assaulted other officers with broken pieces of furniture, crutches, & a flagpole. Prosecutors would later argue that “Dempsey’s violence reached such extremes that, at one point, he attacked a fellow rioter who was trying to disarm him.” All told, >140 police officers were injured in the riot, many seriously.

I [Goldberg] attended the #Jan6 rally on the Ellipse, at which #Trump told his supporters, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Then I walked with the crowd to the Capitol. One woman, a #QAnon adherent dressed in a cat costume, told me, “We’re going to stop the steal. If Pence isn’t going to stop it, we have to.”
