A nine-minute, unedited, undercover interview with Roger Stone revealed some of the MAGA ally’s more disturbing goals for a second Trump administration.

The covert recording of a discussion between Stone and an undercover journalist at a meet and greet in Jacksonville, Florida, on August 4, published by documentarian Lauren Windsor, caught Stone admitting live on camera that he already intends to send “armed guards to dispute the election in Detroit” and to imprison “former Attorney General Bill Barr if Trump returns to power.”

Under the guise of discussing a far-right program to get more like-minded people back into the federal government, Stone shared his disdain for Barr, deriding him as a “traitorous piece of human garbage.” He also lamented that, while president, “Donald Trump never controlled the Justice Department.”

    The POS Stone should stand in front of mirror and say, “he has to go to prison.” That mofo is a sick lunatic neo-Nazi.

    Let try and guess it y’all!

    Rodger Stone in a top hat stands in front of elections office in Pennsylvania as he enters everyone counting ballots runs out of the building. The office combusts. Rodger Stone exits the building to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In unison, “Rodger Stone?! Again?!? How could we have guessed this would happen?!”

    Lot going on there! Let’s stop and appreciate the interviewer. He came off as a passionate and “educated” supporter, didn’t press too hard, well handled. LOL, and despite the gay lisp, Stone thought they were on the same side. C’mon, you gotta be suspicious of a gay man pumping you for answers on how to throw an election for Trump. Stone was certainly drunk.

    One thing he was honest about: Those 62 cases of election fraud were not heard. And no evidence was brought before the courts. Because every one of Trump’s lawyers, when asked if they were alleging election interference and/or if they had evidence, bailed. (OK, I think one was heard and Trump got 6 votes somewhere in PA.) Throw that at your election denier friends and family. Pretty fucking damning when even Trump appointed judges wouldn’t even hear the cases.

    Another solid Stone point; It’s not about the federal government, it’s about the states. These people aren’t stupid, they know how the game is played. I believe a man once said, “All politics is local.”

    Anyhow, I’ll vote in person. And armed. Y’all can count on the “authorities” to do the right thing, but I’ll have serious questions for any red hats milling around.

      Or for any other crime, for that matter.

      It’s insane how much crime we’re willing to tolerate as long as it’s committed by rich white people.

        Kinda sad how many businesses make more money in a month of payroll fraud alone than most “career criminals” can make in a lifetime of B&Es.

        Oh spear me the philosophy, this is a literal reality. Rich people always get away with illegal shit. Donald Trump rings a bell at all?

      Cases like him are why we actually do need the death penalty (and why it’s the Constitutionally-prescribed punishment for treason). As we can see from Trump’s pardoning of him, any lesser punishment isn’t final enough.

    Plotting coups has been Roger Stone’s MO for decades. He was behind the Brooks Brothers Riot in 2000, and the J6 insurrection. He’s one of the key players and amongst the most dangerous fascists in the US, and it’s astounding he manages to stay out of our conversations – and largely away from repercussions – to the extent he does.

    He’s been getting away with absolutely devastating ratfuckery since Nixon (whose face is literally tattooed on his back).

    He desperately needs consequences. He’s needed consequences for decades.

      successfully plotting coups

      Ftfy. We should keep in mind that this guys approach to coups has actually worked in the past. The first attempt at a stolen election was 2000, and it worked.

        Yes, and he’s been carefully learning from his failures ever since, honing his strategies in concert with other actually intelligent fascists like Bannon, Miller, etc, as well as foreign dictators like Erdoğan, Orbán, and Putin.

        This threat is not being taken seriously enough, partly because they have a buffoonish carnival barker of a front-man who, by design, deflects attempts to take the threat seriously.

        It’s very worrisome.

      When people talk about the ‘deep state’ and all of the conspiracies of shadowy cabals, in reality it’s just this fucking piece of shit.

        This piece of shit, plus the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and a handful of others. He’s basically their mercenary.

            Add Leonard Leo to the list too.

            The projection about deep-state fuckery is because they run a wannabe-deep-state themselves.

      He should be in prison for the rest of his life and kissing the feet of everyone else that he wasn’t put in front of a firing squad.
