Trump Hotel Rates Are Over $1,300 on March 4—the Date in a Wild QAnon Theory Booking a room will cost $1,331—almost triple the daily rate in March. Really, I can only admire this level of grifting.

The Jan 6th thread is full of “they didn’t do enough to stop things” and that “it’s the police’s fault that Trump’s people rioted at the Capitol” The FBI has 2000 active investigations going on of what they deem domestic threats. Double what they had just last year. Double what they had in the years after 9/11. I’ll trust their judgement over yours. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
