    Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, blamed violent threats made by Trump supporters on Democrats.


    Charlie Kirk rebukes man who wants to kill Democrats. It's not enough

    excerpt:

    “You’re playing into all their plans, and they’re trying to make you do this … ,” Kirk said. “They are trying to provoke you and everyone here. They are trying to make you do something that will be violent that will justify a takeover of your freedoms and liberties, the likes of which we have never seen.”

    Sorry, Charlie, but “they” – whoever they are – aren’t responsible for the fact that your supporters are now asking when they should start shooting their fellow Americans.

    You own this, pal. You and Donald Trump, who has staged a year-long temper tantrum, unable to accept the fact that he lost the election.

    You and all of the Republican leaders and aspiring leaders across the country who have promoted the Big Lie or remained silent, declining to stand up to the wanna-be emperor and tell him to put some damn clothes on.

    Trump used the same propaganda tactic during his insurrection at the Capitol when he finally and begrudgingly told them to go home while praising them. Trump told his followers "we can't play into the hands of these people" as if someone else caused the riot.


    Trump on January 6 during the riot:

    “It’s a very tough period of time. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace.”

    “So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens, you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home, and go home in peace.”

    That's a part of it; however, it was around long before the COVID Pandemic. I started listening to right wing radio back in 1995 when Alex Jones went on the air. Lots of callers to his show, and to KHNC out of Johnstown Colorado were well on the way into being saturated by the right wing political non-sense. The atmosphere created by the talk show hosts was designed to draw them into this non-realistic world. Remember when Michael Savage was telling them Liberalism is a form of mental illness?

    What Trump did -- in my opinion -- is to push forward the two facet agenda of the Republican/KKK party heavies. (1) sell the agenda to the right wing voters by telling them Mexican/Latin immigrants are taking their jobs; and, (2) behind the scene push hard to bring about the states rights issue, as the KKK always wanted. We need to remember that it was John C Calhoun who declared he wanted the states to retain the power to overturn election results. That is a major matter we've seen come to the forefront in 2020, because of Trump's arrogance. Moreover, Trump's attack on Biden's national level response to COVID 19 fit like a glove in the Republican/KKK desire to strengthen states powers, as John C Calhoun wanted. Trump is not the only one doing the thinking in this Novo Americano quagmire.

    Trump May Be About To Learn That Being Ex-President Doesn’t Carry Much Weight In Court

    excerpt:

    "If Judge Chutkan rules against Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, he can ask her to stay that decision pending an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit or ask judges there, and ultimately the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, to overrule her. But even those requests, experts said, will no longer carry the weight of a sitting president.

    “In no event is a stay automatic,” Tribe said.

    Trump has already started to see the limits of his reduced power. Earlier this year, he filed suit against Twitter and YouTube for taking away his account after he incited the insurrection, and did so in federal court in Florida, even though the terms of the social media platforms require that suits be filed in California, because his status as former president in his view allowed him to file suit anywhere he wanted."

    Trump May Be About To Learn That Being Ex-President Doesn’t Carry Much Weight In Court

    excerpt:

    “Trump probably dictated it to him,” one Trump adviser said on condition of anonymity. The adviser said Trump likely hired Binnall because few high-profile lawyers want anything to do with Trump anymore and because those with lots of relevant experience are not cheap. “He’s at the bottom of the barrel for lawyers,” the adviser said of Trump.

    Binnall did not respond to HuffPost queries.

    The lawyer who wrote the Department of Justice’s response took note of Binnall’s outrage while pointing out that it was entirely beside the point.

    “Indeed, many of his arguments do not properly relate to the presidential communications privilege at all, but rather attack the legitimacy of the congressional investigation into the January 6 attack. Thus, he spends the bulk of his motion arguing that the Select Committee is a ‘political ploy,’ wholly engaged in a ‘vexatious fishing expedition’ and serving no legitimate legislative purpose,” wrote Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton. “President Biden’s sober determination that the public interest requires disclosure is manifestly reasonable, and his to make.”

    These people are not very bright, and they’re nuts.

    I am old and have lived long enough to remember Patton, Kennedy, Tito, and Benito Mussolini. These Trump supporters are the most insane and dangerous whom I have seen during my life in 43 countries. Forty years ago in the criminal justice world they used to say these types were alcohol fetus syndrome. I am starting to consider whether Trump supporters are the product of meth smokers and anal sex with a hog.

    Well, maybe we can hope, too, that Trumph can find himself on the wrong end of a gun, maybe not like Mussolini's "not in the face", tho...

    "Where we go one we go all." So where do they go? Down the rabbit hole? Up around the bend? To the funny farm? Off the deep end?

    Honestly, I think they just live for chaos and being angry at someone for their own shortcomings. Then they get so far into it, they can't pull out, like anti-vaxxers lying in the ICU...

    Meth smokers and anal sex with hogs. Huh. Sounds like a reasonable initiation rite for Q to me. (I'd like the concession to build the frames to hold those hogs ,as I doubt the big fellas would willingly allow ----uh---)

    Will Dominion end up owning MyPillow if it wins a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell? Here are 2 ways it could take control.

    excerpt:

    "In his interview with Insider, Lindell predicted that state attorneys general would file a lawsuit later this month that would result in the Supreme Court overturning the 2020 election results and getting rid of all voting machines in the US.

    "I want to take Dominion, the company, melt down the machines, and use the metal for prison bars and the plastic for the little trays they served breakfast on in prison for all the Dominion people that were involved in this, and all the other criminals like Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, the CCP, everyone that was part of the biggest crime in the history of the world," he told Insider, referring to the Chinese Communist Party, which he baselessly claimed was involved in hacking election results."
