Having a Superbowl event of rioters from across the country at a federal facility looks sensational but it makes individuals and groups vulnerable to prosecution. That includes Trump whose involvement in the riot is yet to be determined. Capitol Rioters May Be Ready to Start Snitching on Each Other excerpt: “Cooperation is always likely in federal cases, especially here, where the U.S. Attorney’s Office has both significant leverage and wants to identify the ringleaders in this sedition conspiracy, as well as other potential domestic terrorist threats,” Rahman said. “It’s uncommon to have this large of a gathering of political extremists from all across the country, so the government will have a treasure trove of information and witnesses to work with.”
I'll vote for that so that at least we can see where the cancer has spread. like radioactive dye... does anyone who supports former president Trump take even themselves (let alone him) seriously??
Forty percent of the population approved of his last days in office. Do not underestimate these idiots as having anything remotely like intelligence or a conscience.
That particular polling sounds exaggerated to me, but I think there is a striking and obvious phenomenon in the right wing - a preference for tradition that is so prevalent people are willing to sacrifice class and standards in society to establish that their previous experience is valid or somehow correct. That which is familiar to them may include or incorporate racial bias or things which are now not politically correct.
I don't think it is exaggerated. Donald Duck did the ritual thing in Professional Wrestling, by the book, which is what all the people who voted for him wanted him to do, without necessarily instigating a riot. Republicans wanted him to trash out the government, they wanted him to mock the government, but they didn't want him to necessarily start a civil fucking war, and many of them had hoped he would mellow out in office, because they are complete fucking idiots, who will believe anything that sounds good to them. They're chickens, and you just have to know Three Stooges slapstick and Professional Wrestling to comprehend all of their insanity.
Trumps legal team of David Schoen and Bruce Castor Jr are required by law to present their legal brief today on the impeachment trial to be held next week. Which is interesting because February is the anniversary of the first impeachment trial of Donald J Trump, and today is also Groundhog Day. Fake News Alert! According to QAnon if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow today we’ll have four more years of the Trump Presidency in 2024 ...lol..
Lindsey Graham threatens to bring in FBI testimony if Democrats call witnesses in Trump impeachment trial excerpt: "Lindsey Graham has threatened to call in the FBI to testify about security failures during the Capitol riots last month if Democrats try to call even one witness at Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. The South Carolina senator has repeatedly argued against calling witnesses to speak on the charge of incitement to insurrection faced by the former president, who is accused of encouraging his supporters to attack the US Capitol on 6 January in violent scenes that left five dead."
see... Lindsey Graham stands up and spouts every once in awhile. Maybe he was drunk or something. I've actually heard him speak level-headed like. What is his beef with Democrats? FBI? Sounds ok to me. I'm not reading that as a threat. Bring the transparency!
One of the first things he did was to meet with Russians in the oval office, with Russian news people present, but no American news people at all.
The Jewish Space Laser explained: "First, some background. The Jewish Space Laser is mainly reserved for use in important ceremonial and ritual observances, such as warming challah for Friday-night dinners, lighting Chanukah candles when we run out of matches, alerting New Yorkers to sales at Russ & Daughters, and helping Mrs. Glicksman find Airplane Mode on her e-reader. Our space laser has a stellar record of more than 36 years of safe operation. (And it’s still single? One could say that’s the real emergency). We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that focusing intense beams of light from beyond the stratosphere is only done in accordance with international safety regulations, and never on the Sabbath. We are still trying our best to piece together exactly what happened that caused this unfortunate fire. The facts as we know are these: On that fateful weekend in 2018, the Levine family of Malibu approached us to be part of what would have been the world’s first circumcision by space laser. We were delighted to assist, as the space laser has always been used in a safe and menschy fashion, and we have learned some things since our attempt at making crème caramel for the Feinberg Bar Mitzvah. Our aim was very accurate for this most delicate of procedures. However, due simply to bad timing, Jeffrey Levinson, an intern (and a sophomore at Columbia — single!), wanted to go out for a little walk and a snack at the moment of circumcision, and, in so doing, seems to have accidentally bumped against the Marilyn Z. Hermann Memorial Computer. While it’s too early to say for sure, this may have resulted in the laser being pointed at a nearby patch of dry grass instead of at the foreskin of Baby Levine (Mazal Tov!). This could possibly maybe have somehow contributed to this conflagration. Our internal investigation is still underway, so by all means please direct any tips (but not baby Levine’s!) to our hotline, where you can also send donations so that we may keep this wonderful organization going."
