I’m still waiting to hear from the buyer. I have sent him a couple messages including shipping costs. Hope he follows through. There were 4 bidders.

That said, it's noteworthy that the convicted proud boys cited Trump as their reason for doing what they did, including his "stand back and standby" statement which was played in court. In other words, there's more bad actors here...

BTW, I believe in the law attempted murder, as an example, has nothing to do with how close one came to murdering someone. In fact, you can talk to a police undercover officer posing as a hitman, meaning you had 0 chance of actually murdering someone, yet your penalty will be based on your intent to murder, right?

Trump's so-called march "peaceably" remark came late in the game of his speech and after he whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Here's his entire speech, see if you can pick it out after everything he's says:
