I have been ringing the warning bell about Donald J. trump for the past four years. And, to be fair, so have many of the regulars who visit this website. We knew what we were dealing with and how dangerous he was. Still, it took the events of January 6, 2021 to finally make America stand up and take notice.
We all will keep our fingers crossed and hold out breaths for the next eleven days, because lord knows what this crazed lunatic will do next. It has gotten so bad that he has been banned from damn near every social media platform. Can you imagine, the president of the United States has been banned from Twitter, and yet he has the nuclear codes at his fingertips? You will be excused if you don't sleep too well for the next eleven days or so.
Everyone who defended and enabled this clown should be ashamed of themselves, and people like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Marco Rubio should be shamed out of public life forever. They will try to backpedal and jump ship, but it's too late. They all should have said four years ago what they are trying to say and spin now.
The following article is from CNN's website, and it pretty much sums up how I am feeling about this man and his minions right now.
"When the history of the 45th presidency is written, Wednesday, January 6, will go down as the day America realized how dangerous President Donald Trump really is.
In the span of hours, the country finally witnessed the price of its five-year experiment turning its election process into a reality show that produced an unhinged megalomanic as commander-in-chief who amassed so much power through his lies and fear-mongering that he was able to engineer an insurrection as a final act that left democracy dangling by a thread.
Wednesday's siege at the Capitol marked the culmination of Trump's years-long quest to cultivate a fiercely loyal base that would do anything for him by playing on their fears and resentments as he lured them into believing his incessant lies about the sinister motives of government, election fraud and his own conduct.
The consequences were deadly: five people have died as a result of Wednesday's riot, including a Capitol Police officer. Some of Trump's supporters were armed and ready for war: an Alabama man allegedly parked a pickup truck with 11 homemade bombs, an assault rifle and a handgun two blocks from the Capitol hours before authorities discovered it, according to federal prosecutors. Another man allegedly showed up with an assault rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, telling acquaintances he wanted to shoot or run over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pipe bombs were found near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee as authorities tried to dispel the mob and secure the Capitol.
But three days later, Trump appears no more aware of the consequences of his actions than on the day of the riot when he delighted in the mayhem. Bunkered at the White House with an ever-shrinking circle of aides, he has offered no remorse for inciting the crowd and offered only a forced denunciation of their actions. Aides, weary and disgusted, refuse to come near him. His central line to the outside world, Twitter, was severed Friday night. People who admired him, worked for him and followed him down dark paths before now say he has crossed into a delusional place, entirely detached from reality.
Wednesday's shocking events can be traced to the inception of Trump's candidacy. From the earliest days of the 2016 presidential race, his rallies crackled with tension and anger -- a testament to his skill in finding the fault lines on issues of class and race and exploiting them to draw in followers who felt marginalized and wronged by their leaders. His supporters had hungered for a charismatic leader like him who would empower the "silent majority" and serve as a voice for their grievances. He thrilled them as he blasted through societal norms and the guardrails of democracy, while offering safe harbor to White supremacists, conspiracy theorists, anti-government renegades, racists and anti-Semitic activists who fell in line behind a political figure who would channel their rage in exchange for their fealty.
As he lurched from one shocking maneuver to the next, Trump commanded the constant attention of the press, broadening his universe of followers as he used Twitter as his megaphone. By threatening to punish his critics and by firing civil servants who tried to check his thirst for power, he cowed members of the Republican Party and his own aides, who became complicit in his unraveling of democracy. Meanwhile, much of America grew numb to his circus act, shrugging off the magnetic power of Trumpism as though it was a passing fad.
That all changed Wednesday as the country watched the mob encouraged by Trump scale the walls of Capitol, beating back police officers as they smashed through the historic building's doors and windows, shattering glass to force their way in bearing metal pipes, sticks and other weapons. Lawmakers from both parties were forced to cower below the seats in their respective chambers before being evacuated to secure locations, as the insurrectionists ransacked congressional offices and attempted to occupy the nation's seat of government on the day Congress was affirming President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. The barbarism of the day was underscored by chilling reports that some of the Trump faithful were on the hunt for Vice President Mike Pence — who had refused to accede to the President's demand that he overthrow the election results and was presiding over the counting of the Electoral College votes.
As the horrifying riot unfolded in the "people's house," it became clear that Trump had finally gone too far. His political capital was already weakened by the Republicans' defeats in two runoff races in Georgia that were poisoned by the President's lies about voter fraud — with some in the GOP openly blaming Trump for their resulting loss of the Senate majority.
And the breach of the barricades that put the lives of the nation's lawmakers in danger began to break -- at least for now -- the spell that Trump has cast over his party. When order was restored some outraged Republicans condemned the President for his role in inciting the violence; others signaled it was time to move on and rebuild the Republican Party after four years in which the President has tried to bully them into submission.
With Democrats now poised for full control of Congress, Trump was now facing real consequences for his actions. During the overnight certification of results, which had been delayed by the rioters, the rumblings began among Democratic members of Congress about whether he could be ousted through the 25th Amendment or impeached for a second time to prevent him from holding office again.
Momentum has only grown among Democrats for fast-track impeachment beginning next week, and the latest draft of the resolution obtained by CNN included one article of impeachment for "incitement of insurrection." Many Republicans, however, say that step is futile for a President who has less than two weeks left in his term.
Still as the glass was being swept up from the Capitol grounds, some GOP lawmakers considered supporting his impeachment. More than a dozen administration officials, including two Cabinet secretaries, have resigned citing their concerns with Trump's response to the riot.
"I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage," Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News in a report published Friday, making her the first Republican senator to call on Trump to resign because of Wednesday's riot.......
.........."We're gonna walk down to the Capitol. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women," the President said as he marshaled the crowd for action. "You'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong."
But as his supporters marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and began their assault on the Capitol, Trump had returned to the White House consumed with his schemes for overriding an election that he lost with 232 electoral votes to Biden's 306. To the dismay of his aides, he delighted in watching the riot that injured dozens of officers and sent fears of a coup racing across the Capitol. Aides struggled to get him to understand how serious the situation had become. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, one of the President's staunchest allies, had a "heated exchange" with the President as rioters overran the Capitol building, urging him to denounce the attack and try to quell the violence, according to a source briefed on the exchange. But Trump declined to do so. Asked on Fox whether he expected Trump to address the situation, McCarthy said only: "I don't know."
Trump did not even attempt to secure the safety of the vice president, even though several of his supporters who were part of the violent mob were heard shouting "Where's Mike Pence?" in the midst of their Capitol rampage. Those threats alarmed Pence and his family, a source close to the vice president told CNN's Jim Acosta, widening the breach between the President and Vice President.
In fact as the siege unfolded, Trump demonstrated the callous depths of his narcissism by trying to pressure senators to derail the affirmation of the election results, as they feared for their safety in the midst of a riot he had incited.
CNN reported Friday that Trump mistakenly called Republican Sen. Mike Lee on his personal cell phone as the rampage was unfolding while trying to reach Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a newly elected Republican from Alabama. Lee fielded the President's call shortly after 2 p.m. ET, at a time when senators had been evacuated from the Senate floor to protect them from the approaching mob. Lee handed Tuberville his phone, a spokesman for the senator confirmed to CNN, and the President proceeded to try to convince Tuberville to slow down the certification of the Electoral College vote. The call ended when the senators were moved to a secure location.
At the White House, Trump's daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump and chief of staff Mark Meadows tried to convince Trump to record a message that would direct the rioters to stand down.
But the resulting message satisfied no one as he ad-libbed, telling the insurgents who had stormed the Capitol: "We love you. You're very special."
On Thursday, the wave of administration resignations and condemnations of the President by former Trump staffers continued as shaken staff members cited real concerns about the stability and continuity of government. On Capitol Hill, GOP lawmakers expressed anger about Trump's role in that dark moment in the country's history.
Trump went about his business, including awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a pair of professional golfers in the East Room. His attempts to proceed as normal angered some aides even further.
With the President increasingly isolated, Trump's aides, including his daughter, Meadows and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, warned him that he was in real danger of being removed or impeached. Though reluctant to denounce his supporters, he agreed to record a second video released Thursday where he acknowledged a new administration is coming -- without congratulating Biden. (Cipollone is now among those who are considering resigning, two sources familiar with his thinking told CNN's Pamela Brown.)
But Trump's thinking hadn't changed.
"I think that video was done only because almost all his senior staff was about to resign, and impeachment is imminent," a White House adviser, who spoke with senior officials as the debacle was unfolding, told CNN's Jim Acosta. "That message and tone should have been relayed election night ... not after people died."
Later, Trump appeared to some aides like he regretted taping the spot, asking those around him whether it was being well received.
The arrests of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol began to pile up Friday including Derrick Evans, a West Virginia state legislator who is being charged with entering a restricted area and entering the US Capitol, and Richard Barnett of Arkansas who was photographed sitting at a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the Capitol siege. Barnett was charged with knowingly entering and remaining in restricted building grounds without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds as well as the theft of public property, federal officials said Friday.
Lonnie Leroy Coffman of Alabama, who allegedly parked the pickup truck with the weapons cache near the Capitol Hill Club near the Capitol, told police he also had mason jars filled with "melted Styrofoam and gasoline" -- a combination that could have the same effect as napalm if it exploded, court documents said, because "it causes the flammable liquid to stick to objects that it hits upon detonation."
While the possibility of removal of the President through the 25th Amendment looks increasingly remote, in part because Pence has no interest in participating in that process, more Republicans are turning their attention to helping Biden transition into the job.
McCarthy rejected calls for Trump's impeachment Friday, but referred to Biden as the President-elect for the first time: "I have reached out to President-elect Biden today and plan to speak to him about how we must work together to lower the temperature and unite the country to solve America's challenges," the California Republican said.
After Trump indicated in one of his final tweets that he won't attend Biden's inauguration, the President-elect expressed relief at the prospect of his absence Friday, stating it was the one of the few things they had ever agreed on. Pence, however, would be welcome to attend, Biden said.
Wednesday's events, Biden argued, proved that Trump is "not fit to serve." If the nation were six months from inauguration, Biden said, he would be all for "moving everything" to get Trump out of office, including invoking the 25th Amendment. But with less than two weeks to go, the President-elect said he was focused "on us taking control" and would leave decisions about impeachment up to the Congress.
The President's encouragement of a mob Wednesday, Biden said, reminded him of what happens in nations with tin horn dictators. But he said the country's realization of the danger Trump poses could make his job easier as he attempts to unite a divided country -- though that remains an open question.
"I've had a number of Republicans who are former colleagues call me. They are as embarrassed and mortified by the President's conduct as the Democrats are," Biden said Friday. "What this President has done is ripped the band-aid all the way off to let the country know who he is, and what he's about, and how thoroughly unfit for office he is." [Source]

ReplyDeleteNot much really happened. SDPD was swift to clamp down on violence. I don't know why the MAGAts chose my digs for their rally. It looks like some bona fide Antifa and Black Lives Matter guys showed up unashamed. What an honor! Didn't know if they were exactly local or not. Lots of activists in and around San Diego, that's for sure. Many more in central California. Antifa was down here on the border during the caravan crisis distributing water and medical supplies four years ago.
Trumpistas are not welcome here. We never see Trump support or regalia out in the open unless there is a rally.
The Pig People don't think he has done anything wrong and will continue to worship him no matter what he does, which is why he needs to be re-impeached and barred from ever holding office again.
ReplyDeleteThat way they will have that eventuality removed from their made-up world and will be less likely to behave in ways that will require the intervention of law enforcement in the next four years.
One can only hope that his lifestyle will finish him off fairly soon so as to remove him from his role as shit disturber for fun and profit that he so obviously craves, post presidency.
The fourteenth amendment should be invoked to expel any and all congresscritters who participated in or helped plan the insurrection, but as that would require some Republican participation, I feel it's less likely than his second impeachment.
Fuck all y'all who did this to the country.

So to all of the come very lately Republican *New Resistance Heroes* who have discovered that in light of a Democratic trifecta it might make good career sense to say a discouraging word or two about god emperor Fergus:
ReplyDelete1) Too late, we all know your names and what you did.
2) Time did not begin in 2015.
3) The generic term for what you are trying feverishly to construct is "lifeboat" and we all find them to be quite combustible.
4) The events that occurred on January the sixth of this year were not capricious, and could not have taken place without extensive planning and funding, which you were complicit with or in some cases like the RAGA, directly responsible for.
5) I sincerely hope that you will not be allowed to hijack our continued good standing in polite society and on the broadcast media to launder your own soiled reputations, but sadly, that's usually what happens in the wake of any garden variety Republican atrocity. Driftglass call that phenomenon "the Gingrich rules" after the blood drunk bomb throwing former speaker of the house, and his repeated reputation cleansing on the set of "Meet the Press".
6) Even given that eventuality, we are still here watching and remembering, for memory is indeed the liberal superpower.
7) So now let's get busy and repair the damage, for we don't have long and the damage is vast.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
Why aren't you seeing damage estimates from the events in DC?
ReplyDeletecould it be because they are so minuscule when compared to the wholesale destruction in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Kenosha and Minneapolis? Damage estimates from those locations ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.
Why aren't you seeing any sort of video coverage of the attack on Capitol Police Officer Sicknick from what is arguably the most camera-infested city this side of the Atlantic Ocean? Not a single camera has footage of a murderer swinging a fire extinguisher?
it doesn't fit the media narrative, so it will be ignored and/or swept under the rug
Why hasn't there been a single leak of exactly who shot Ashli Babbitt? For the record, we aren't supporters of identifying police officers involved in shootings - but our opinion doesn't hold much sway nowadays as evidenced by shootings in Ferguson, Cincinnati, Kenosha, Chicago, and pretty much every single officer involved incident of the past four years.
By all reports and video available, she was unarmed, climbing in a narrow broken window with empty hands. Where were the tasers? Tear gas? Reinforcements? These questions have all been asked, shouted and screamed by media and leftist politicos for years now, always second guessing. Now there's none?
again, the narrative
If you read many of the middle-of-the-road sites, you're going to see more of these leaking out for a few days....until they get banned, too - the lefties were there too, mixed in with the Trumpers:
But some of the 40-minute video [John Sullivan - Insurgence USA] posted to his social media sites contradicts his assertion that he and another woman were “only filming” the actions and not participating as he can be heard in the video encouraging people to join them as they push their way through police barricades.
Just after people broke into the building, Sullivan — wearing a gas mask and wielding an iPhone on a stabilizing stick — and a woman who said Wednesday that she was making a documentary on Sullivan, are on the first porch area outside the entrance looking back over the throngs of people around the Capitol. They can be heard encouraging people to climb the wall, saying, “Come on. Let’s go!”
For the tiny brains, this doesn't excuse any of the riotous behavior in DC. But individuals made the bad decisions. Not only that, but if you've got any sort of time on the job and you served in any of the riots over the past two decades, how many people does it take to start a cascade of opportunists from engaging in their baser instincts? Not many.
And how should we take this statement from Malig-nancy?
....the House speaker accused [Trump's] backers who violently invaded the Capitol of choosing “their whiteness over democracy.”
What in the actual fuck is that? Please, someone explain that to us.
If you're reading this site, you're likely a cop. And the blind belief of....
media narratives
politicians
even the FBI - who we all know are liars to the nth degree
...is quite appalling. Your bullshit detectors should be red-lining right now. You don't have to believe everything we do - but you ought to be asking questions. You know, like cops do.
UPDATE: This should have been asked above, but why are you not seeing a single tweet or quote from the President "encouraging" or "overthrowing" or "inciting" any sort of riots or property destruction? And don't say it's because they took down his social media accounts - you can find it if you look. Every single media report uses the same words and phrases and people are relying on those narratives why? Encouraging people to march to the seat of government to redress their grievances is now seditious? The Million Man / Mom / Woman marches did it. Abortion foes and supporters do it annually. MLK did it and spoke on the steps of the Capitol.
The world is upside down.
Pelosi’s 2018 assets were estimated at 257 million. Her Congressional pay was 174 thousand but as Speaker she makes 223 thousand 5 hundred.
ReplyDelete"could it be because they are so minuscule when compared to the wholesale destruction in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Kenosha and Minneapolis? Damage estimates from those locations ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions."
ReplyDeleteYeah, by all means, let's focus on the costs to replace the Capitol building's windows and wipe the poop off the walls.

ReplyDeleteTotally misleading about her estimated worth. The amounts are given high and low estimates and you chose to submit the high number which is more than likely false.
Pelosi's worth is due mostly to her husbands investments and stock holdings.
The armed insurrection was not a peaceful demonstration and was not constitutional, no first amendment protections for B&E, wanton, willful destruction of federal government property, illegally discharging mace at legal police officers, stealing government equipment, trespassing and assault/murder charges.
ReplyDeleteThen lying to cover it up by blaming the other side which was not there. But that seems to be about all you syphilitic eunuchs can do.

ReplyDeleteThis illustrates the point I’ve been making. It was not the case that the Capitol police officers were secret fascists who sympathized with the ideology of Trump’s mob, nor that they went easy on them “because of white privilege.”
The cops were simply vastly outnumbered. There was no way they could successfully fight back against a crowd that size.
The open question is why the police leadership (both the Capitol and DC police) did not arrange for a much larger number of police to defend the Capitol. The plan to invade the building and disrupt the ratification of the Electoral College votes was not at all a secret.
This was a huge, inexplicable security failure.

ReplyDeleteMurkowski is making noize about leaving stoopid fucking wingnut cabal of dumbfucks, but says she won't, for sure, become a Dem. That's good cuz Dems don't like wishy washy liars who say anything to remain in good party standing.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is already dead in this nation. When rampant fraud is permitted, when certifying fraudulent elections is permitted, democracy is dead. The people are no longer truly represented. When this happens, the unrepresented rise up. This is exactly what happened in 1776 and the years leading up to it.
ReplyDeleteIf there was no fraud, if there was no clear cheating, the people would accept the election. But when it is clear that their votes were invalidated by fraud the result will always be rebellion in one form or another.
The open question is why the police leadership (both the Capitol and DC police) did not arrange for a much larger number of police to defend the Capitol. The plan to invade the building and disrupt the ratification of the Electoral College votes was not at all a secret.
ReplyDeleteThis was a huge, inexplicable security failure.

But what about defunding the police ?????
We can always depend on the Democrats and Republicans to steadily clarify that they compose a single-party tyranny. They exploited 9/11 to make themselves nearly inaccessible to the citizenry. Absurd levels of security made it such a pain to visit the Capitol that it was hardly worth the time to try. Their mail from citizens was delayed interminably to allow it to be checked for biological or chemical weapons after a few weaponized envelopes arrived at government facilities. They probably were sent by the FBI or another three-letter agency to justify denying citizens letter-access to their representatives. That left e-mail, which can be silently and immediately deleted with a single click. And, have you ever tried to contact the office of your senator or representative by telephone? Usually, you are diverted to a recording machine, or given a long list of confusing options. All of this was meant to close off Congress and Senate from the people they regard as untermenschen, hate with a passion, and whom they need only every two or four years from September to November.

This is interesting. I have called my congressmen and senators many times and have always spoken to a staff person and been treated with respect. I have done the same with email and always received a reply. Of course my representatives are all Democrats and therefore very responsive to their constituents. But the same was true when my reps. were Republicans, so I don't understand your complaint.

Democracy is not dead in spite of Republicans trying to kill it ever since Nixon. Trump tried to put the nail in the coffin, but he has failed just as he has failed at everything he has touched. His failed coup may yet spark a more concerted effort by the insurrectionists, but I assure you, democracy will prevail.

ReplyDeleteThat CNN article should be retitled "The Rats are Deserting the Ship, or How to Cover Your Ass for Shit that You Supported for the Past 4 Years."
ReplyDeleteCNN--like the rest of mainstream White America--feigns shock and outrage over the US Capitol storming, but that is retroactive ass-covering disingenuous bullshit.
Many People of Color were warning about Trump from the git-go, even before he was elected. Remember Trump's racist/xenophobic 2016 campaign rhetoric? Or the 2017 Charlottesville Clusterf*ck?
Most of White America tried to downplay or minimize these and other issues.
Or, in the case of the American media, they were all too happy to milk Trump's controversial statements for the ratings bonanza that he generated--while offering up insincere and hypocritical "criticism" of him.
Now, after the proverbial Shit has Hit the Capitol, White America and its media are shocked (shocked!) about the role of Trump and are clutching their pearls about this Attack on Our Democracy™.
The only thing to tell these people is this:
Your words are Too Little and Too Late.
Sit your ass down, and have a big cup of Shut the F*ck Up.

Inside the Alt-Right Meltdown After Failed Capitol Putsch
"After a feverish couple of hours on Jan. 6, during which fascists on social network platforms dared to utter the word “revolution,” they came crashing down to reality—hopes ruined and friendless in the world after the deadly but ultimately fruitless attack on the U.S. Capitol. Now, with far-right groups feeling backed into a corner by the impending end of Trump’s presidency, divisions among them are becoming more palpable as a feeling of failure grows and extremists nihilistically turn away from talk of a “political solution” and towards white supremacist terror..."
“But what about defunding the police ?????”
ReplyDeleteIt hasn’t happened????? And won’t?????
Because only a small, lunatic fringe on the left actually want this. Biden has already come out against it, but you wouldn’t know that from all the lying Team Trump did during the campaign.

I agree, Anon. There is no logical reason for white mainstream America to be surprised. The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued warnings regarding the lawless behavior of right-wing extremists for more than forty years.
ReplyDelete“Lets not forget that a black racist capital officer murdered un-armed Ashli Babbitt a 14 year Air Force veteran and Patriot.“
Had she just complied with the officer’s instructions she would be alive. Remember, don’t resist the police.
"Makes you wonder where was Betsy's brother Erik?"
ReplyDeleteAnd whether that was what those pardons were about.
Last night I read that the capitol building, because it is dense and the people who work there need to be able to easily communicate, has its own embedded cellular network, with logs and everything.
Meaning that every Pig Person with a phone in their pocket who breached the capitol has left identifiable digital fingerprints of their every movement.
The fact that the national guard was not deployed even after days of the capitol police asking for it to be there is another aspect of the insurrection. Fergus sent his mob to overturn the certification of the election and made damn sure they wouldn't have much resistance when they got there.
He should hang for that alone, as a capitol policeman was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher by Fergus' mob.
We all know what would happen to any random Black person who beat a cop to death.
That should happen to Fergus.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
Ashli Babbitt was a whole lot more innocent than George Floyd (OD'ed himself), and let's not even mention Trayvon Martin.
ReplyDeleteAnother Capitol police officer died, this time by suicide, after being involved in the attack of the Trump trash mob. While it's not certain that this event caused his suicide, we can surmise that it might have been a factor.

ReplyDeleteYou too can watch the stoopid bitch defy the police and pay for it with her deplorable life. Too bad the cop only fired once t a slag coming through a busted window. There were plenty moar targets to choose from. Talk about restraint.

ReplyDeleteDue to recent trend of rampaging mobs of Trump-o-fascists, the Michigan legislature has banned open carry in the Capitol building.
ReplyDeleteDamn, so close to achieving common sense. Now all they have to do is ban open carry everywhere, period. Open carry never benefited anybody but violent militia nutjobs. This is yet another wacky Republican idea that has produced a predictably bad outcome.

ReplyDeleteFrom politicalwire.com:
FBI Pursues at Least 150 Suspects in Capitol Riot
“The Justice Department and the F.B.I. have embarked on a nationwide manhunt to track down scores of people who attacked the Capitol last week, as they grapple with the fallout from the widespread government failure to protect the building,” the New York Times reports.
“Investigators are pursuing more than 150 suspects for prosecution, a total that is almost certain to grow… Analysts are also scouring intelligence to identify any role that domestic terrorist organizations or foreign adversaries may have played in radicalizing Americans who were among the rioters.”
Seems the traitors can run, but maybe they can't hide - too many videos.

ReplyDeleteRep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a gun-toting supporter of the QAnon movement, is facing backlash after she was accused of live-tweeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) location during the attack on Capitol Hill last week.
Boebert shared the tweet soon after President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol with deadly results.

ReplyDeleteThat chick is one of the worst of the new congressional class of 2020. She's "Gun Nut Barbie," basically. Like Trump, she was elected, not based on having any relevant qualifications or policy goals, but because of her record of saying irresponsible, inflammatory, crazy shit.
I would say she was a joke candidate, but I don't find it particularly funny that this type of terrible person keeps ending up in positions of power.

The GOP in the year of our lord 2021 manages to be both scarily evil and a laughable farce at the same time. That’s quite a trick.
ReplyDeleteAnywayyyyy, the hornhat QAnoner loony who invaded Congress this week is quite upset that other wingnuts keep saying he is Antifa.
Asswipe Babbit was justifiably homicided in the commission of various and sundry federal crimes. Innocent she was not. She was a domestic terrorist, a thug, a brainwashed floozy who violated her oath she took when she joined the military and she died a traitor. Good riddance. Too bad the whole lot of them weren't shot down as traitorous dogs. Including half the wingnuts in the House and a dozen or more sinators.

ReplyDeleteThe problem with America is this:
ReplyDeleteThe United States of America is Soft on Terrorism--White Terrorism, that is.
In fact, White Terrorism is the terrorism that many Americans dare not even admit exists.
After all, White terrorist aren't really terrorists.
They are just misguided White people with legitimate grievances.
Or they are just White loners with "mental health" issues.
What's worse is that there are hordes of White Terrorist sympathizers and supporters in the USA.
In many cases, these White Terrorist sympathizers are not called out as such and perversely are viewed as Respectable Pillars of the Community like sitting members of Congress (cough, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz); practicing lawyers (Rudy Giuliani, Lin Wood); or off-duty cops and US military members.
What America really needs is a War on White Terrorism.
As George W. Bush might have put it: You are either with the White Terrorists or against the White Terrorists.
The United States of America is Soft on Terrorism--White Terrorism, that is.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, White Terrorism is the terrorism that many Americans dare not even admit exists.
Imagine being stupid enough to believe this, when blacks account for over 50% of the murders in the USA.
Murder is usually personal or for business. Terrorism is political.
