Like wearing a mask in a pandemic, being knowledgeable in civics and your responsibilities in this regard, and engaging in mutual aid for your community. Stuff like that.

Everyone wants to be a patriot until it’s time to do patriot stuff. And all we had to do was not wear a mask. Instead, Ohio became a pasture of sheep. I’m so ashamed, disgusted, and disappointed. 2020=1984.

Are you willing to help President Trump in the fight to stop the hostile takeover of our country by the Democrats and Deep State?

Coming up at 2 p.m. we’ve got a plea hearing scheduled for Daniel Phipps, of Texas. Phipps wrote on FB: “Everyone talks about being a patriot until its time to do patriot sh*t.” He was indicted for assaulting a DC Police officer outside the Capitol on January 6.

Right so this whole situation with everyone wanting to tuck their tails between their legs when things get a little hairy, reminds me of the saying “everyone wants to be a patriot until it’s time to do patriot shit”. You people have no fucking backbone.
