    "Storm the Bastille, But Make it Dumb"

    "Storm the Bastille, But Make it Dumb"

    excerpt:

    "Oh my god. That’s just about all you can say about yesterday, when, following a pep talk from Donald Trump, thousands of right-wing psychos breached the doors of the Capitol Building as lawmakers were going through the largely ceremonial step of ratifying Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College in an attempt to… what exactly? Intimidate elected officials into handing the Presidency back to Trump? Straight-up take over the government? Wreak havoc as a show of impotent rage? If it was the third thing they were after, they definitely got it.

    This year, we’ve seen our fair share of violence and property damage at protests, but what happened yesterday is not a "both sides" issue. Because this was not a protest. Just ask Senator Chuck Schumer, who said in the Senate chamber last night, "Those who performed these terrible acts cannot be called protestors… They were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol Building and attack our democracy."

    What happened yesterday was a planned but failed insurrection. That isn’t hyperbole or speculation on my part. There was a Daily Beast story on January 2nd which noted that on the pro-Trump subreddit, The Donald, people were distributing maps charting routes from the Stop the Steal rally directly to Congress and posting comments like, "We’ll storm offices and physically remove and even kill all the D.C. traitors and reclaim the country.""

    ‘Trump Just Used Us and Our Fear’: One Woman’s Journey Out of QAnon
    During the political fallout after four years of Donald J. Trump, one question is what will happen with the followers of conspiracy theories that bend Americans’ perceptions of reality.

    ‘Trump Just Used Us and Our Fear’: One Woman’s Journey Out of QAnon

    excerpt:

    "“Q managed to make us feel special, that we were being given very critical information that basically was going to save all that is good in the world and the United States,” she said. “We felt we were coming from a place of moral superiority. We were part of a special club.”

    Meanwhile, her family was eating takeout all the time since she had stopped cooking and her stress levels had shot up, causing her blood pressure medication to stop working. Her doctor, worried, doubled her dose.

    People who tried to talk her out of the conspiracy theories by sending her factual information only made it worse.

    “Facts are not facts anymore,” Ms. Perron said. “They are highly powerful, nefarious people putting out messaging to keep us as docile as sheep.”

    As the months went on, the claims she was seeing grew more outlandish. There were slickly produced videos of cannibalism and Satanism within the Democratic Party.

    “The people I got to know on social media, they started to look stranger and act stranger and I didn’t want to be like that,” she said.

    Mr. Trump himself was a source of doubt. Q presented him as a brilliant mastermind, and for a while she accepted that. But it became harder to reconcile that persona with what she observed in real life.

    Another twinge of self-consciousness came during a phone conversation with a childhood friend. “I remember calling my best friend and getting all into the number of pedophiles in government and that they’ve taken over the whole government system,” she said. “I felt a part of her saying, ‘This is not the friend I recognize.’ It never came out in words, it was just a sense that I had.”"

    Dollars to doughnuts "Q" has a desk in the same office as "Fancy Bear".

    I guess republicans like losing court cases. This thing will never stand up in court. See, the republicans are short sighted thinkers, because when the dems control the legislature(it will happen) the shoe will be on the other foot.

    The republican party no longer exists, and has been reduced to obstructionist politics and destroying anything they can. A political party that insists the sun revolves around the earth, that government is evil by definition, and the Hatfields and McCoys are what its all about, is merely a lynch mob. Donald Duck destroyed any illusions they had about someone actually being in charge around here, and conservatives are already regretting voting for him. The Tea Party simply has to go, into the nearest toilet, and the only question remaining is how to accomplish the task without the entire country blowing up.

    Forty percent of the population demanding a dictatorship and refusing to ever cooperate with the other half of the population, is Professional Wrestling of the Hatfields and McCoy variety, and never to be confused with politics. Donald Duck's professional wrestling career will never be in doubt, and if he goes out with bang, he could change the course of what Americans foolishly call politics for the next century.

    Legal Pressure on Trump Increases With Judge’s Order in Fraud Inquiry

    excerpt:

    "A New York judge on Friday increased pressure on former President Donald J. Trump’s family business and several associates, ordering them to give state investigators documents in a civil inquiry into whether the company misstated assets to get bank loans and tax benefits.

    It was the second blow that the judge, Arthur F. Engoron of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, had dealt to Mr. Trump’s company in recent weeks.

    In December, he ordered the company, the Trump Organization, to produce records that its lawyers had tried to shield, including some related to a Westchester County, N.Y., property that is among those being scrutinized by the New York State attorney general, Letitia James.

    On Friday, Justice Engoron went further, saying that even more documents, as well as communications with a law firm hired by the Trump Organization, had to be handed over to Ms. James’s office. In doing so, he rejected the lawyers’ claim that the documents at issue were covered by attorney-client privilege.

    The ruling was a fresh reminder that Mr. Trump — who left office about a week ago under the cloud of impeachment and is headed for a Senate trial on a charge of “incitement of insurrection” after his supporters stormed the Capitol in a violent rampage — faces significant legal jeopardy as a private citizen."

    Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood refuses Bar’s order to undergo psychiatric exam

    Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood refuses Bar’s order to undergo psychiatric exam

    excerpt:

    "Atlanta attorney L. Lin Wood, one of the most prominent purveyors of conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential election, is in danger of losing his ability to practice law in Georgia.

    The State Bar of Georgia acknowledged Friday it is investigating two complaints against Wood and has ordered him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Wood recently called for the execution of former Vice President Mike Pence and accused other officials, including U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, of conspiring to cheat former President Donald Trump out of a second term, among other alleged transgressions.

    But in an interview, Wood said he would refuse the State Bar’s order — a stance that could result in the emergency suspension of his law license."

    Details that Trump never wanted to address.


    Pfizer CEO vows to speed up vaccine development to under 100 days to combat the 'high likelihood' that current COVID-19 shots will become ineffective

    Pfizer CEO vows to speed up vaccine development to under 100 days to combat the 'high likelihood' that current COVID-19 shots will become ineffective

    excerpt:

    "Governments must recognize emerging infectious diseases and pandemic threads are an existential threat to our society," Hatchett, a former Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority director, said. "They are an emergent property of the way we live."

    If we want society at large to continue as it did before COVID-19, governments must make sustained investments in preparing for future pandemics, Hatchett said.

    In closing remarks, he said the world should turn its sights on other coronaviruses and other viral families that may evolve to have higher death rates than SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19."

    Only lawyers know how to kick each other where it hurts the most. Lin and Donald Duck have both been legally insane for decades, but the law only matters when money is involved.
