    Some of the proud boys had such egregious criminal records they couldn’t even pass an ICE background check. This will get them on board. “No thug left behind.”

      It’s likely some of those have already slipped through. I hear what you are saying, but it makes no sense to me that Trump (or more likely, Stephen Miller) would bother creating a new radical militia when DHS is already right there, with way more funding, infrastructure, and basically zero oversight.

      Trump is also not in the habit of paying people when he could simply promise to pay people and pocket the cash instead. I can’t honestly see any J6ers getting any of this money outside of maybe one or two just for the news ragebait/distraction.
