Unhappy Anniversary!

it's been two years. another low point in the history of the USA, followed up next by those willfully choosing to defend the indefensible with conspiracies and false equivalencies. there's a lot to unpack because of it's significance, past, present and future, and I don't feel like it. that's for the discussion, but I will share some of my impressions.
disappointment on my part, starting with the capitol riot participants that day for their total lack of awareness in taking part. multiple levels and agencies of DC affiliated LE brass for not being better prepared/coordinated and for not willing to use a heavier hand at the first signs of violence. disappointed in those at the joint session of congress for a constitutionally mandated function, being threatened, evacuated and/or in hiding only to return hours later to vote against certifying the election of biden, and then to continue their obstruction of any investigations or inquiries. veterans and seniors that fell for this bullshit. finally, our judicial system. moving at glacial speeds and now featuring two levels of jurisprudence, regular and premium. we need to see a judicial shit storm soon. vindication of our entire form of government rides on the adjudication of all those connected to this event. no man is above the law. it's been two years.

... shout out to Ashley Babbit for 2 years of sobriety.
ouch
keep your eye on the pop stand. I'm bouncing back and forth between here and Cspan watching the 20 seditious teabags attempt to bend the other 202 republican sheep over in today's house reality shit show.
He failed again. This has become a hostage situation. Stockholm syndrome at play.
I'll wait to see the numbers. some in the sedition party have already bolted to the airport.
Yes, sir
How many times is that? 12?
He got a couple of them the last vote. I have noticed not any of them are saying what he is promising these people.
Then they are clapping and cheering on the floor.
I swear, the rest of the world must think we are idiots.
And every time they get up to talk, it is all campaign speeches on the House floor.
They make me sick.
He’ll win after a bakers dozen. But he will be compromised…beholden to the lunatic fringe.
Expect committee hearing after committee hearing loaded with these idiots ‘investigating’ Fauci, Ukraine, the FBI, the DOJ, Biden’s son, and whatever other specious agenda items have been acceded…not to mention the obligatory upcoming impeachment.
They'll probably do another round of Hillary's emails, too
I think they are doing lucky number 13 now....
A woman on CNN said it was basically bribery down on the house floor.
Haha
Re-open Benghazi...
Hillary resigned as Secretary of State in January 2013, ten years ago...
Watching some of this, it all seems so archaic.
Get a big flatscreen to put in the back and have them all push a button to vote and it shows on the screen.
Hell it is 2023.
we?
Well they've been after the Clintons for 30 years. Why stop now?
BFD. Let them. It will, as all things thus far, backfire on them. Do the laptop, threaten Fauci (science is science, proof in the pudding), etc. A waste of money. I have seen a subtle change in the previously silent republicans. It seems that the MAGA jenga game is ready to topple. The emperor has no clothes and people are noticing. Retribution is trump's game, but he's quickly falling out of relevance. He's a bad dream that some are groggily waking up from. And the more this display shows they have no real interest in America and Americans, the more the country will want to move away from the divisiveness that hateful little group seem to thrive on.
meh, let them shoot themselves in both feet, all the way up to the knees...
they're still trying to figure out why the red wave failed on rwnj radio...
Sorry - Couldn't resist.
Criminey.
looks like the Q-nut doesn't fall far from the tree...
Thans for this dev. I don't see any of the inciter in chief enablers/supporters whining, pissing, moaning and throwing a tantrum that he and his enablers/supporters are being so unfairly treated and the victims, as usual,
sanity zone.
But they were just tourists. /s
... with some guns.
See my 8.1 for the true story.
When I saw the title of this seed I was thinking...is it Dev's wedding anniversary? never mind
2 years already and people are still defending the rioters even tho some have gone to jail
trump has promised them full pardons and a government apologies if elected.
That worked out well....
they may have a difficult time getting to a polling place...
We live in a morally degraded country. One would have thought that the sight of domestic terrorists breaking down the doors of the national legislature , without cause, would have shocked every American into demanding punishment for everyone involved. But that never really happened, largely I think, because social media dictates the dissemination of information in this society, and social media is very much a "both sides are equally at fault" medium. It doesnt take that much effort to convince yourself, and perhaps others, that the assault on our Capitol was "justified". To a certain extent the craziness on the far right cannot be controlled, because the wider public is apathetic.
I've started to hear the myth of Jan 6, which suggests that the rioters and terrorists are the true victims of that day, be compared to the "Lost Cause" mythology that developed in the south in the decades after the Civil War. Just like the lost cause ideology, the Jan 6th mythology is rooted in white grievance and white supremacy.
I was sick to my stomach that day, watching news reports come in. I mean, I expected something would happen, but I never thought they'd actually breach the Capitol. I never imagined that insurrection in our nation would have the support of so many who say they're trying to save democracy. They're either lying, or seriously misguided and too stupid to be otherwise.
I was in utter disbelief because I never thought something like that could happen in this country
I know. I thought there would be some scuffles, and really hoped there was adequate Secret Service protection for Biden, Harris, and their families, and for Congress. But I never thought they'd actually enter the building, or attack the Capitol Police force. I certainly never thought that they'd actually defecate in the Capitol building of the nation they claimed to love.
shitting in the capitol while shitting on the constitution... sounds logical for that crowd.
I was sickened. I thought they were the party of law and order. I kept thinking that had those protesters been black, the National Guard would have descended upon the Capitol in no time. Nothing. I kept waiting for those Capitol Police to get some assist. I can't imagine what they were thinking ... they had families at home. I'm sure some would flash to how their family would be informed of their plight. Each second must have seemed like an hour. I cried at the time and my heart is heavy now.
I was in a hospital bed and had a Greek Exchange doctor visiting me, I had CNN on and was embarrassed for my country.
I believe the military wasn't deployed because military leaders were worried that Trump might try to give orders to seize the Capital.
I immediately felt a flush to my face just reading that. I'm sorry. For all of us. Such a cowardly, traitorous display. For a lie. A lie that trump knew was a lie.
Had I been there, I would have hugged you. Comfort in numbers.
They were (the Capitol Police and any security) COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED BY THE TRUMP INCITEED MOB.
On TiGs recap video at the end you could tell #45 (former 'president' 45) ask them to go home after over three hours he was so pissed and still said the election had been stolen from him when he finally told his mob of psychopaths to go the fuck home or whatever hole or baseboard they crawled or slithered or scurried out of
I was in texas, so I made sure all of my handguns were ready to rock and roll, with hollow points...
My gun needed cleaning...still does
“…with hollow points...”
Describing everything coming out of texas these daze…
(ms. cobalt’s contributions notwithstanding)
Very kind.. I am a transplant however. Born and raised in Los Angeles and got here in my thirties. I quickly learned that while the people here are friendly and kind, their politics are crazily backward. Gohmert. Abbott. Cruz. Paxton. 'Nuff said. I also quickly learned that "well, bless your heart" really means "well, aren't you a special kind of stupid."
“I am a transplant however.”
As well. Find myself residing in Colorado CD-3…so in spite of living amongst the unbelievable natural beauty, also living with the equally unbelievable, unnatural hate.
But we carry on…peace.
I've lived in Arkansas for 25 years. It's a beautiful state with lovely people. Just the thinking is backwards. Hell, we elected another Huckabee to be governor. You would think they had learned after the first Huckabee.
My area use to be blue. For the longest time we had a Dem rep. In this area it all seemed to have started when Obama was elected and the rise of the tea party people.
A new tea party guy knocked out the Dem rep. The tea party guy finally got knocked out by someone even more extreme than him...
All the hate and anger seemed to spill out in the open during the Obama years. All the sudden people around here were glued to fox news and their talking points.
The funny thing is, he really wasn't very Liberal or extreme like some tried to make him out.
Morning Cobalt...Yes US elections what can we say...
They always seem to turn into endless chaos as they lurch from one disaster to the next..to be honest I don't know how you mob stand it..it would drive us nuts..
We had two elections last year. One Federal change of government Liberal to Labor no one bats an eyelid...and State no change of government...no one bats an eyelid..
All done and dusted in a matter of hours, no dramas, no bun fights, no riors and yes voting is compulsory, just the way we like it..
To be honest at times it looks like the inmates are in charge of the institution over there, regardless of who is in power...
The inmates are in charge
I think it is getting to the point that only the insane would take the job.
They were finally able to expose their hate while it was quietly hidden under the surface of their white robes and little pointy hoods just dying to come out
I'll take stupid for $1000...
Will the hateful big fat pig, and all those involved in the plotting and inciting for months, ever be held responsible?
As far as I am concerned, they all belong in front of a firing squad or buried beneath The Hague
as long as trump's out of jail, the 900 insurrectionists deserve to bear the brunt of federal incarceration penalties.
make each trumpster buy a concrete casket and as natural selection marches on, build the border wall out of them... win/win
Two years of total dysfunction on the horizon. Two years of rabid speculation, two years of incessant vitriol, two years of childish finger pointing. Welcome to post-policy politics where retribution reigns.
They want to destroy our Democratic Republic and replace it with some authoritarian right wing nightmare where the only people who have any rights are rich and "Christian".
Retribution is key for them. I laugh. Bring it. Short of President Biden shooting someone on Fifth Avenue, nothing comes close to the criminality of the then-sitting grifter-in-chief, much less trump's failings are as a human being. They don't care that it will highlight their bad acts by comparison. They never have a Plan B. They're in it to lose it.
trump wanted retribution for SNL's parody of him. It's more disgusting now than it was then.
That's the kind of person who wants to be a DICKtator. He doesn't understand the First Amendment and thinks that he should have been allowed to cancel that TV show. If he wasn't such a weak, dickless, sorry-ass coward with no morals or ethics I would feel sorry for him
hat says it all right there tg - LOVE IT
THAT
it's gonna be hilarious watching mc carthy have to save his job every time the teabag caucus doesn't get it's way.
I understand That Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell have actual videotape of Antifa medically knocking out those peaceful protesters ("excuse me ... does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"), stealing and donning said passed out protestors' clothes, and attacking the Capitol. They redressed the peaceful protestors and slipped out the back alley. They plan to release the tape when they deem it appropriate.
It wasn't the Proud Boys.
Cowards. All brave when committing sedition but don't want to own it. Rename: Cut And Run Boys
it's funny how most/ a lot of these incels call themselves boys, like boogaloo boys, proud boys, etc. as if they themselves know they will never measure up to what is considered a decent MAN
This is great. In a sad way. My soul has been achy all day.
no worries. time is on our side.
... one way or another.
whatshisname and his enablers and supporters have so besmirched us. These scum aren't your average decent hard working people.
