    haha what a pussy

     

    Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes allegedly made his son, Dakota, guard his younger siblings with a rifle when they played outside and, in a paranoia-fueled incident when Dakota was 16, forced the boy to wear full body and patrol their house with a gun while the rest of the family fled.

    “Stewart became convinced that a power outage was a pending governmental raid and ordered Dakota to don full body armor with a rifle as the family fled their home in the middle of the night, anticipating an attack,” according to court documents obtained by Raw Story.

     

    The document continued, “Dakota is angry that Stewart subjected him, at age 16, to being killed as an armed hostile if there had actually been an encounter with governmental forces.”

    New information from the full divorce file of Rhodes adds to the sad and sordid tale of family life with the man convicted of seditious conspiracy and recently sentenced to 18 years in federal prison for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Raw Story obtained the court file from Lincoln County District Court in Montana. The judge unsealed it last month.

    Raw Story had previously reported exclusive details involving Rhodes' dysfunctional family life: shocking allegations of abuse contained in an unsealed affidavit filed by his now ex-wife Tasha Adams and the concern of Rhodes’ son Dakota that his father might receive a presidential pardon rather than serve his entire prison sentence.

    “From testimony, the parties lived an unusual life style,” the judge wrote. “All of the children were required to carry knives at all times from an early age.”

    A court filing said Rhodes told the children “that they were going to be raped or dismembered if they were unable to defend themselves.”

    She stated Rhodes “held a pistol to his head multiple times during arguments.” Rhodes denied the allegation and denied abusing his children, generally. He earlier said Adams and her attorney “twisted over 23 years of facts.

     

    Rhodes was allegedly away from the home 30 percent to 40 percent of the time and criticized his wife’s home schooling of the children, saying he taught them history, geography, and the Greek classics. He said he was unaware that two of them couldn’t read.

    The judge, however, wasn’t buying it.

    “It is hard to believe … that he would be unaware that two of the children could not read if he was indeed teaching history, geography and the Greek classics,” the judge wrote.

    Rhodes’ family didn’t use mainstream medical services. All of the children were born at home.

    Tasha and Dakota stated that one of the minor children “cut the tip of her finger off with a knife while at a wilderness survival camp with Stewart. In none of the instances of alleged injury to the children was medical assistance sought other than a midwife who advised care of (minor) finger, apparently over the telephone.”

    Stewart Rhodes acknowledged a history of being abused as a child and said he suffered from “severe” depression and had sex addiction as a result.

    In a May 2018 hearing to determine whether the minor children needed a guardian ad litem — a third party to watch over the minor children’s interests — former Oath Keeper Jason Van Tatenhove testified for Rhodes.

    Van Tatenhove would later leave the organization, write a book and testify before the January 6 Committee.

    At the time of the Montana court hearing, however, Van Tatenhove said Rhodes lived in his basement, according to a filing by Tasha. The judge noted that it was rent free, “although he sometimes purchases groceries.”

    In October 2019, Rhoades filed a handwritten note to the court.

    He requested “all filings in my case, as I no longer have an attorney (and) need to have everything so I can represent myself.”

     

    This fucker got a law degree from Yale and is a worthless sub-human.  Glad Yale was just my safety school.  

  2. Tips for the press to avoid accepting (and passing along) gaslighting:

    -why did you keep America’s secrets?

    -can you assure that America’s secrets were not revealed to anyone?

    -do you care about America’s military?  -do you care about America?  -why?

    -why should voters ever trust you with our military’s secrets again?

  4. Can't wait for Texas Monthly's Bum Steer awards this year.  So many self-owns by the Rs that it will be hard to pick a winner.

    -Royse City's Bryan Slaton (christofascist supreme) liquors up his 19-year-old staffer, commits adultery by putting his tiny, old wiener in her and then gets expelled mid-session

    -multiple R members of the Texas house (including the speaker) take the microphone during session to drunkenly slur their debate of bills

    -days before the end of the session, Rs appear to launch a coordinated effort to force Angela Paxton's adulterous husband to fight for his political life to hold onto the AG position

    Not that Odessa is a major component of Texas, it's scary when you read what has happened there since a new, ultra-conservative group has taken over the city. 

    https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/right-wing-cabal-took-over-odessa-municipal-government/

    A few stories that indicate the state of Odessa. While the first two do not reflect policy, it demonstrates an attitude and how we're turning back the calendars to the 1800s.

    • the new mayor refused to call an employee by her preferred last name, as he said it was ungodly to not use a woman's married last name
    • a city council member flipped out when he was referred to as a councilperson and not councilman, on a parade banner
    • they fired or scared away many of the top non-partisan, city employees. Somehow I doubt that Odessa had many liberal city workers in the first place. But they weren't conservative enough.

     

    I grew up in SlowDessa and couldn't imaging that it could be any bigger of a shit-hole than it was when I left the minute that I could.  Sounds like the mayor is running on the platform of Make Odessa an Even Bigger Pile of Shit.

  6. Grammy Awards are bullshit anyway, but I just saw that Lucifer on the Sofa had been up for Rock Album of the Year. . . and lost to Ozzy?  Spoon's album is a classic with several of their best songs to date.  Put the Prince of Darkness in the rock and roll old folks home with Ronnie James Dio and make way for bands making today's music.
