Why is Trump paying the J6ers?

Is he paying them for their service to him in January 2021 ?

Or . . . is he paying them in advance for their help in 2026/7 and 2028/9 ?

"Stand back and stand by" is a phrase used by Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential debate, instructing the far-right group Proud Boys to wait and be ready for action, rather than taking immediate steps.

And he's robbing the US Treasury to do it.

(* and exempting himself, his family and business associates from having to paying even one penny of the taxes that fund it.)

And after Bubba and TJ and Cletus Catfucker and the other salaried members of Trump Freedom Force murder a few Democratic Senate and House candidates, some reporters and the odd pollworker or six, nary a peep will be heard from the principled leaders of the new Republican Permacongress.

Trump claims the two impeachments found nothing wrong, the Russia investigation was a hoax, that the document case was a hoax, and Jan 6th was a peaceful demonstration in which people did nothing more than the average DC tourist and he absolutely wasn't to blame for it, 2020 was stolen, and he is a victim!

Since all the actual evidence is against him, he wants BS things like this to point to, thinking history will ignore all the bad shit (and not include this as more bad shit) and he will go down as a great president.

This is gaslighting. And it's moronic gaslighting that makes him look exactly like the cheap criminal he fears history will remember him as. Fuck him and his legacy.
