Andrew did an episode on Sovereign Citizens, including some of the wilder details, a couple of years ago. It's JUST the sort of people to whom TRUMP would appeal; they justify most of their existence by, as we say in science fiction, "freaking the mundanes."

2023-08-10 01:00:00 +0000 UTCI checked. It's OA781, 18:14, at the beginning of the bit where he demands cameras in the courtroom.

2023-08-09 05:49:59 +0000 UTCYour first mention of him that included an audio clip of him -- probably being interviewed -- and giving an aspirational goal for his representation of Trump.

2023-08-07 18:09:20 +0000 UTCI started to twitch when Lauro said in an interview a couple of weeks ago that he proposed to represent not only Trump but also the Sovereign Citizens of America.
