They say anarchy is the lack of government, but I say its just more of the same loathing and self-hate you'll find in Vegas any day of the week.
The GOP's denial of the violence that occurred at Trump's insurrection is becoming as difficult as its denial of the coronavirus. Public hearings are being held in Congress about the Capitol riot with damning testimony by police officers. Those who are succumbing to the virus are Trump-minded people who have refused to vaccinate and who are now being chastised by GOP leaders of red states. The stuff that Trump and the GOP dropped on the shingles eventually hits the fan.
Watch: Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz Get Heckled off the Stage While Defending Capitol Rioters excerpt: "Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has made a career out of publicly harassing her imagined enemies. She got a dose of her own medicine on Tuesday when her joint press conference with Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) was broken up by protesters, one of which was armed with a very loud, very shrill whistle."
Trump has been expecting the U.S. government to defend him and his associates for inciting a riot against the U.S. government. U.S. Declines to Defend Trump Ally in Lawsuit Over Jan. 6 Riot excerpt: "WASHINGTON — The Justice Department declined on Tuesday to defend a congressional ally of former President Donald J. Trump in a lawsuit accusing them both of inciting supporters at a rally in the hours before the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. Law enforcement officials determined that Representative Mo Brooks, Republican of Alabama, was acting outside the scope of his duties in an incendiary speech just before the attack, according to a court filing. Mr. Brooks had asked the department to certify that he was acting as a government employee during the rally; had it agreed to defend him, he would have been dismissed from the lawsuit and the United States substituted as a defendant. “The record indicates that Brooks’s appearance at the Jan. 6 rally was campaign activity, and it is no part of the business of the United States to pick sides among candidates in federal elections,” the Justice Department wrote. “Members of Congress are subject to a host of restrictions that carefully distinguish between their official functions, on the one hand, and campaign functions, on the other.”"
Trump-backed candidate loses in Texas special election excerpt: "Voters in North Texas delivered an upset Tuesday, picking GOP state Rep. Jake Ellzey to fill a vacant House seat over a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Ellzey beat fellow Republican Susan Wright, the widow of former Rep. Ron Wright, 53 percent to 47 percent, when the Associated Press called the low-turnout, Republican-vs.-Republican runoff. Though Ellzey was better funded, Wright leaned heavily on her backing from the former president, who often plays kingmaker in Republican primaries."
This ACCURATELY demonstrates and PROVES that TODAY'S REPUBLICAN PARTY is a total soul-less, ethically bankrupt, empty shell with no direction (that serves the citizens of the U.S. - and preserves our democracy). It's only reason to exist is to suppress voters - or NULLIFY THEIR VOTES - so they can win the vast majority of elections. Self-preservation only. Nothing more. Fuck the citizens, fuck the environment, fuck healthcare, fuck workers, slash Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid to pay for their HUGE TAX BREAKS given to the VERY RICHEST people (who then shower REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS with money for political campaigns for a "rinse and repeat.") This is why they draw breath each day. They could give a rat's ass about the U.S.A. or the Democracy instituted by the Founders that we have - up until now - enjoyed. FASCISM is on the way in ............ courtesy of THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Look up fascism and see what it's defining characteristics are. Elimination / nullification of all political opposition is a main point. (See the REPUBLICAN gerrymandering / re-drawing of voting districts so REPUBLICANS have the voter numbers to eliminate any competition or opposition. See also the REPUBLICAN state legislatures around the country that have quickly written new voting laws that even limit the time allowed for counting ballots, largely reduced the locations where one can vote, taken away ballot drop boxes, put stricter requirements on voting by mail or absentee voting, and even gone so far as to make it illegal to give water to a voter standing in line to vote!!! Sound like voter intimidation / voter suppression?????) IT IS. So is "going after" one's political rivals with intimidation, violence, imprisonment or execution. { remember the insurrectionist rioters in the U.S. Capitol who wanted to hang Pence and Pelosi???} Fascism also entails a rigid nationalism, with control over all forms of media and news (no independent / objective news sources) so the public only gets to hear what the controlling party / dictator ALLOWS them to hear. Sounds just like today's REPUBLICAN PARTY. REPUBLICAN attacks on objective journalism-driven news outlets (other than those like Fox, One America News, Breitbart - which are nothing more than mouth pieces for the hard-line REPUBLICAN view & HEAVILY BIASED) have weakened citizens' trust in all news media. This is the first step in brainwashing the populace into only believing what THE REPUBLICAN PARTY wants people to know. One-party rule in ANY country is a recipe for fascism and fascist dictators to take over. True freedom will be lost. It's why the Founders set up a 3-branched style of government to have checks and balances to prevent a dictatorial / monarchial rule in the U.S.A. The existence of the U.S.A. is just about over. 20 more years MAX. Maybe not even that long. Fascism is moving in quickly because too many people can't see it for what it is. Once a dictator is enthroned, it'll be too late. { Remember T**** wanted to be "president for life." } The laws will be changed so that "voting" to get rid of him - or her - will be impossible. The U.S. "Supreme Court" is already stacked to side with a hard-line, right-wing ruler. It's coming.
"They're coming to get you Barbara" only it was Former US Sen. Barbara Boxer of California who was a victim of assault and theft on Monday
Trump wanting the U.S. government to defend him and his associates because they think they were acting within the scope of their offices implies that their actions to incite a riot to overthrow the government were within the scope of their offices. The U.S. government shouldn't be picking sides on which candidate to support, let alone support their riots that try to overthrow the U.S. government.
Just got back from a 2 week road trip so I've been out of the loop. I Heard that Trump read the writing on the wall and called it fake news. Any truth to that?
The cops in Philly ADMIT they should NOT have fired rubber bullets and tear gas on those PEACEFUL PROTESTERS. The protesters were simply walking on a roadway carrying signs - not being violent in any way. The Constitution GUARANTEES the right to peaceful assembly of large numbers of people to protest. If anyone in the Philly case was violent - it was the cops. They've admitted their mistake. I live in the Philly region, so I know the story & watched the whole thing on TV. Boebert makes no sense on anything. She's merely a yapping set of lips playing to a delusional crowd. I guess she sees no violence in the U.S. Capitol insurrectionist rioters as they beat, choked, and crushed the Capitol police as they tried to protect ALL Congressional members. Breaking down the doors and smashing windows to gain forceful entrance was - what - to Boebert?? Like the other spineless T**** LEMMINGS, she probably says "it was just tourists peacefully looking around." VIDEO and AUDIO TAPE doesn't lie. The whole country watched THAT VIOLENT INSURRECTION - that only 2 Republican Congress-people say was a violent insurrection. The rest of the CORRUPT, LYING, SPINELESS T****-fearing REPUBLICAN MICE say it was no big deal. "Just tourists."
How'd you like to see McCarthy being physically attacked by a mob - like those Capitol police officers were?? He'd be the first to run. Wouldn't want to mess up that perfect hair-do.
His district , except for Bakersfield, is made up of small towns in the Mojave desert. Think meth users.
Because Jordan has NO SPINE or INTEGRITY. Cooked spaghetti has more backbone than Jordan ......... and spaghetti doesn't lie.
