    They weren’t calling for trumps death. They wouldn’t not have found him there, he resides right down the road. Of course, they did just leave him after he made his impassioned speech to the rioters. 45 let them know Pence and Pelosii were there though. Man, where do you get your info from? Think, man, think!

    not sure if the good folks over at tiger fan msnbc have seen this:

    Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated
    the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

    Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations

    "Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

    Stone, a veteran Republican operative and self-described "dirty trickster", and Jones, founder of a conspiracy-driven radio show and webcast, are both allies of Trump and had been involved in pro-Trump events in Washington on Jan. 5, the day before the riot.

    FBI investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol. But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside, the sources said.

    What are we supposed to think about Tucker's new doc that is about to drop?
    • A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no "reasonable viewer" would take the network's primetime star Tucker Carlson seriously.
    • The judge agreed with Fox's premise, adding that the network "persuasively argues" that "given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive(s) with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements he makes."

    Quite the dilemma. Fans of the show will be happy it's dismissed, but not happy to be labeled as an unreasonable viewer by the lawyers of the network that produces it.

    Fox "News" has never, ever been a legitimate news network. It plays its viewers for the fools they are. Always has, always will.

    Take a poll and see how many people give a shit what you think about Fox News. Put it on CNN. No one will see it.
