Unfuckingbelievable:
Donald Trump has made yet another gesture of goodwill toward the January 6 seditionists and traitors.
He's planning to hold an awards gala for them.
This past week, Trump announced he would host a "J6 Awards Gala" at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey on September 5, with himself and Rudy Giuliani among the "invited" speakers.
Did he think this was “effective counter-programming” to the Democratic National Convention???
The announcement poster advertises that "attendees will get a chance to win a 'Justice for All' Donald J Trump and J6 Prison Choir plaque." The plaque celebrates the briefly Billboard- charting jailhouse tune that featured Trump reading the pledge of allegiance while the imprisoned seditionists sing the national anthem that was released earlier this year.
The event announcement says the gala will give attendees the chance to "gather to pay tribute not only to these individuals but to all J6 defendants who have shown incredible courage and sacrifice.”
Trump made a promotional video for the event in which he describes the convicts as "peaceful" and "J6 hostages," and promises pardons for them if he's elected president.
"There has never been a group of people treated so harshly or unfairly," Trump says in the video.
The money raised from the event will reportedly go toward a Capitol riot legal fund, according to the video.
Even though it's called an "awards gala," there is no indication what — if any — awards will be handed out.
Aprevious attempt at hosting the event was postponed. A flyer for that event showed ticket prices ranging from $2,500 for an individual attendee to $50,000 for a table of 12 with a speaker seated at the table, according to MediasTouch.
The event is planned to happen before Trump formally becomes a felon when he is sentenced on September 18 for the 34 felony counts he was convicted on in the Stormy Daniels hush money case in New York.
After he officially becomes a felon, Trump will be "legally prohibited from associating with other felons," according to Tristan Snell, an attorney who prosecuted the Trump University case.
While the event is legal, it's unlikely to gain him any sympathy when he faces Judge Juan Merchan 12 days later.
More than 1,230 people were charged with federal crimes stemming from their participation in the 2021 riot outside the US Capitol. Those charges ranged from misdemeanor offenses to seditious conspiracy for members of gangs like the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers.
Approximately 730 people pleaded guilty to their charges, while another 170 have been convicted on at least one charge related to the riot.
Several of these seditionists and traitors have been recently sentenced to prison terms of 20 years, including the woman lawyer who represented The Oath Keepers, for obstruction of justice when she told Stewart Rhodes and other paerticipants to delete evidence of their participation from their devices.
This event should be a watershed event in this campaign, the final nail in the coffin of the dissolution of the Republican Party, and the public repudiation of the agenda of hate and division represented by the MAGA movement.
Thanks to those who have spent some of the savings they got when they canceled the MSM on supporting That’s Another Fine Mess. It’s cheap! Only $7/month or $70/year.

This should be the final nail in the GOP’s coffin but we’ve been saying that for years now. What is unfuckingbelievable about to me is not that he’ll go this low, but that on paper, at least, he still has a good chance of winning. It shocks me to my core that so many of our fellow citizens are so vile as to love this creep.
Just when I thought they’d gone as low as they could… and it’s still August. Not looking forward to the next two months. 🙄
