Following up on the post below, this is fun. I’d love to see the press do more of it:
Meanwhile, a little family dissension in MAGAland:
I assume Roger is Roger Stone.
I’d love to know what turned him away, He was a major MAGA cultist at one time. Here’s a story about Joe in 2022:
Joe Flynn was getting animated.
Standing in the sanctuary of the Living Hope Church in Englewood, a giant cross hanging on the stone wall behind him, Flynn was telling a crowd of 75 people gathered for the Liberty Tree Patriots meeting about his efforts to overturn one election and influence another.
Flynn is the brother of former President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Both now live in Englewood in southern Sarasota County. The brothers helped lead a push to overturn the 2020 election based on unfounded voting fraud claims.
Having failed, the Flynns increasingly are turning their attention to influencing elections in 2022 and beyond. They could be a potent force in GOP politics locally, statewide and nationally, one determined to influence public policy.
The Flynns are connected to Defend Florida, a new group that met with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ top staff six times to push the idea that there were widespread voting problems in Florida, and to advocate for election law changes.
Speaking for nearly an hour to the Englewood group, Joe Flynn made some wild claims. In discussing baseless allegations of voter fraud in Arizona, Flynn said Arizona was part of grand strategy coordinated by the Democratic National Committee, the AFL-CIO union and liberal billionaire George Soros.
“What happened in Arizona is tied to everything else around the country,” Flynn said. “This was a strategy that was led by the DNC, AFL-CIO and elements of George Soros’ organization, and that’s not a conspiracy, that’s just the truth.”

Praising Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, Flynn said they are the only ones standing in the way of “losing this Republic.” They kept Democrats from passing voting rights legislation, he noted. Neither supported lifting the Senate filibuster rule to allow the bill to pass by majority vote.
“Without those two we would have (the voting bill) H.R. 1 shoved down our throats and it would be over for our kids,” Flynn said. “It would be over, there would be no Republic.”
“Sorry, I’m a little fired up,” he added.
[…]
Flynn said Republicans who won’t push the false narrative that there is evidence of widespread fraud must be replaced.
“You’re hearing GOP legislators saying forget about what happened in 2020, move on,” Flynn said. “Those people need to be replaced. More than anything those people need to be replaced. Because that’s how we lose this Republic, right? Cowards like that that say there was nothing wrong. That’s just wrong.”
He sounds like a former true believer with a story to tell. I doubt he’ll tell it but his comments in that tweet suggest a serious break: “fucking clown show”, “MAGA cult”, “circus.” He’s got that right. But he’s still nuts:
Bring it on!
