Yeah, well, there could be some crossover...

Welp, apparently there is more drama this afternoon/evening. There was a scuffle again between the Santa/1776ers and their clan counter-protesters.A gun (of some type) got pulled on the public roadway. (nobody was shot)

The WV police/sheriff dept arrived but did nothing. I think these cops are just waiting for them to leave. They get called on this BS daily and the responding officers draw the short straw.

Ant decided to not press charges.

Santa hit Ant. 1776 supporters are claiming the opposite. But Frankie Bobbie admitted that Santa hit Ant first.

To my knowledge, Ant never retaliated.

Is Santa on the edge or what? Has he completely given up on the Man Of God schtick?

Hey, I just saw him on a live scream saying they are taking this 1776 movement nationwide --- he wants to go to Hawaii to start a chapter there. ($$$ grift,grift,grift free vacation).

I feel cheated because none of them ever has a stroke!

Hey now. I think you misunderstand me. Jimbot doesn't wish harm upon anyone even when he is doing a PsyOp on them. I am the "friendlyobot"

1776 is done hoping to find a place to stay near DC. Farmtifa takes a win!

Santa, and thus 1776, thinks Suicide Squad pulled Farmtifa. They did not. I wish my group could claim responsibility, but this was a different group of brilliant antifa!

Santa called police before confronting Ant. He was told that Suicide Squad was practicing their first amendment rights, and police couldn't do anything. That is when Santa decided to confront Suicide Squad. If you watch the video in rasion de arizona's above post, you'll see Santa goes off about his first amendment rights.

The 1776 is adopting the TPC's handbook.

The group is going national! People can sign up to be members. Yep, you must pay to become a member. This is awe-inspiring in its stupidity.

The group will start in PA. Why? 2 members are from PA. They're going to try to help Mastriono get elected in Nov.

When membership grow in each state that new 1776 groups are working, they'll hold a rally. Once the national movement is big enough, 1776 will pick a date. On that date, state groups will protest at their state's capitol with a national group protesting in DC. Then they'll talk to state and national politicians.

1776 now has a "code of conduct. Members must have:
Integrity
Moral Courage
Love of Country

Santa has a friend who has a friend who is going to open doors for 1776 in DC.

The group will now ask churches to give them a place to set up camp.

WV police did show up last night. Ant refused to talk to puce because they didn't come yesterday after one in his group got pelted with rocks.

An ambulance showed up with police. The emts refused to go to BH without police. Tony, the guy who hit Ant, was evaluated. Ant did punch him in self defense. Santa had his swollen lip looked at.

I'm certain that the ambulance was called simply to document injuries from last night's fight.

Santa claims that his memory of the event is fuzzy. He remembers confronting Ant and getting the bullhorn slapped from his hand, but everything after that is fuzzy.

Police gathered all of the video of the fight from 1776. They're going to evaluate it and decide what to do.

I can see Santa, Tony, gun guy, and Ant getting arrested. But who knows.

Farmtifa was too much for Santa. And I guess too big for his god..

Santa will just claim that he was pushed too far. God forgives!

1776 has to be out on Thur morning. I think 1776 became overly confident about getting Farmer Bob's field and barn to stay at. They either stopped looking for alternate places to stay thinking Farmer Bob was real or couldn't find anything but campgrounds.

Patriot Q supposedly was going to purchase some land for 1776 to camp on. I don't know why he didn't buy it.

Farmer Bob was Santa's last hope.

Santa used some disgusting homophobic language last night. I doubt Santa is very godly when he attends Proud Boy meetings.

When Santa was announcing this new national org --he said the first 1,000 who join will be "Founding Members" and receive a 1776 Restoration Movement coin. What is with RWNJs and their obsession with no value coins?

They keep them in the other pocket along with their sobriety coins.

It's some challenge BS. Like you challenge everyone to produce theirs, and whoever is lacking has to buy drinks. Real high-brow stuff thar.

That is actually a military tradition that dates back to at least the 1980s because I have challenge coins from several organizations. I think it started in Vietnam with the Unit Crest badges that you wore in the lapel of your Class A uniforms, with a green tab if you were a "leader".

Look on this photo, not the shoulder patch which is a Division, Seperate Brigade of higher unit, but the thing you can barely see between his shoulder patch and his collar, on a green felt ribbing wrapped around the Epaulette.



By the time I was in, they had started having custom ones made, but the tradition remained, if you forget to bring it and are "challenged" you have to buy a round.

Mine,

Yeah, that's actually cool. I didn't intend to disparage the heritage of the tradition, but rather the usurpation of it by knuckleheads like these guys.

Well dammit. I have none of those coins so if we evar meetup in person I have to pickup the drink tab? Who invented this stupid rule!?

By way of our Marine Embassy Security Guards, the State Department has coins, too. Each Embassy, either directly or through our MSG detachment, 'mints' them and you can as an employee by them to hand out to people who do you solids. I've also earned coins as gifts from a military tenant group in Dhaka for going above and beyond to help them with IT & comms needs; and from the White House Communications Agency (the military comms guys for POTUS) for some minor (to me) but critical (to them) efforts here in London. Amusingly, one of my oldest friends, who was in high school and Scouting with me in the early to mid-80s, did two tours with WHCA before retiring from the Army a few years back, so I was joking with him about crashing WHCA reunion gatherings with him and being able to throw down the challenge coin when the time comes.

That said, if the 699th or other members of the Fogbow Military Command need a U.S. Embassy London challenge coin, do let me know.

I still don't get it."challenge"'? -- Whomever has the better coins wins? Are they 12 years old?

I was rejected by the military from enlistment --- no, not for mental health reasons. But no coins.

Welp, here I am awake at 3am and decided to search for clues on the twitterverse. There has been nothing going on (they are all leaving--if they have somewhere to go).

So F-it, I'm playing go-out music. Closing time kids... GTFO 1776ers

You have to belong... so if you're in a bar in Columbus, Georgia with 6 guys from OCS, and a 7th walks in "where's your coin?"

I did high school. Not interested in revisiting the popular cliques which I was never invited into. Military people never grow up?

This is verging on offensive. Because you don't understand or participate in something isn't a reason to throw shade at someone who does. A challenge coin doesn't feel so much like a high school clique as it does the ubiquitous "do you know so-and-so" when you meet someone new. It's a social connection between people with a common interest, not a means to "prove" anything to anyone or to intentionally shut someone out.

So how was I supposed to feel for being left out of the "club" because my hearing (Measles, 5 yo) was not up to par? I wasn't good enough for them.
