The republican party has always been just as they are showing the world now----it just took a real jackass like trump to bring 'em out in the open. He may have done us all a favor in the long run by exposing them and their supporters--Fox, Q, proud little boys, hypocritical religious nuts and just the regular dumb asses that voted for the loser.
The last thing on earth that the Tea Party cares about is their image. Their idea of self-improvement and public outreach is to take a collective dump on the Lincoln memorial. The republican party is trash, garbage, worthless, no longer workie, not helpful, beyond repair, and Biden may have no choice but to declare martial law and disband the Tea Party.
I wrote to President Joe Biden and asked him for action on prosecution of Donald Trump, for criminal and tax charges. I also asked him for prosecution of the people who attacked the seat of our government. And the last issue I raised was a cost of living increase for people living on Social Security. President Biden's office replied on the very same day. They said that they read all the letters and will consider all suggestions. So, everyone on here should write to him too! Let's see Trump go to prison and us who live from month to month on little money get a pay raise!
Feds: Trump Supporter With Pipe Bombs Discussed Targeting Twitter, Democrats | HuffPost excerpt: "An extremist supporter of former President Donald Trump is facing federal charges after law enforcement raided his home and business in Napa County, California, and discovered dozens of weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and materials that could be used to build pipe bombs. Ian Rogers, a 44-year-old auto repair shop owner previously charged with state offenses after his Jan. 15 arrest, is charged with the federal crime of unlawful possession of unregistered destructive devices after he admitted to authorities that he built pipe bombs. Rogers, according to an FBI affidavit, claimed the pipe bombs were for entertainment purposes. But authorities said he had a sticker for the extremist group the “Three-Percenters” and had “intent to attack Democrats and places associated with Democrats in an effort to ensure Trump remained in office.”"
Man Charged With Sending Threatening Texts To Democratic Congressman’s Family | HuffPost excerpt: "A California man was arrested and charged Tuesday with making threats against family members of a top Democratic congressman and a journalist the same day an insurrectionist mob attacked the Capitol earlier this month. Robert Lemke, 35, sent threatening text messages to the brother and sister-in-law of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), warning that armed supporters of then-President Donald Trump were near their house, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in Manhattan federal court. One of the texts included a picture of a home in the same neighborhood as Jeffries’ brother. “Your brother is putting your entire family at risk with his lies and other words. We are armed and nearby your house,” Lemke allegedly wrote in one text to Jeffries’ brother. “You had better have a word with him. We are not far from his either. Already spoke to [the Congressman’s son] and know where his kids are.”"
Eight people have died due to the Capitol riot. Two police officers, Smith and Liebengood, who had responded to the January 6 riots at the Capitol committed suicide in the following days. A police officer, Sicknick, died later in the day after sustaining head injuries during the riot. A protester committed suicide in the days following the riot after being arrested. Four protesters died during the day of the riot, three due to medical emergencies and one who was shot to death (Babbitt). 2nd Officer Who Responded To U.S. Capitol Insurrection Dies By Suicide, Chief Says | HuffPost excerpt: "A second Washington law enforcement officer who responded to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has died by suicide, according to the Metropolitan Police Department’s acting chief. Officer Jeffrey Smith, 35, killed himself on Jan. 15, acting Chief Robert J. Contee III told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, The Washington Post first reported. He was a 12-year department veteran.
2nd Officer Who Responded To U.S. Capitol Insurrection Dies By Suicide, Chief Says | HuffPost excerpt: "Five people died during the course of the riot, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, 42, who was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher by members of the mob. His death is still being investigated and no arrests have been made in the case. Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood, 51, died by suicide days after he responded to the riot. The insurrection occurred after then-President Donald Trump and several of his allies spoke at a rally at which they fired up a massive crowd near the White House with a litany of false claims that last November’s election that Trump lost was “rigged.” At Trump’s urging, thousands of the rally-goers then marched to the Capitol. A total of 65 officers were injured during the resulting siege, Contee said during his Tuesday testimony."
In the wake of the riot, 45 Republicans in the Senate are claiming that the impeachment of Trump for the riot is illegal.
A group of protesters who took over the Senate floor (including the QAnon Shaman) collectively praised Jesus at the scene for giving them the opportunity to riot. That was after a group of them went through documents and became upset with Ted Cruz after mistakenly thinking he had turned on them after seeing a paper that said Cruz was objecting to Biden's electoral win in AZ (what the rioters wanted). A confused and hapless group of people.
During Trump's first impeachment, Gaetz and a group of Republican illegally burst into the U.S. House hearings to impede the proceedings. It was the same maligned approach used by the rioters to try to stop the certification of Biden's win at the U.S. Capitol.
Not good. Police have high suicide rates, and its a sign of how insane the right wing is right now. The country didn't blow up like many of them assumed it would, the war they were expecting has not come yet, and it is becoming more obvious by the day that it is a war that serves no purpose whatsoever except to divide the nation and cause endless suffering and death. So long as the Tea Party continues to exist, the faster they commit suicide, the more likely buildings are to blow up.
Donald Trump Launches 'Office of the Former President' from Mar-a-Lago as He Faces Uncertain Future excerpt: "Whatever else happens next, Donald Trump has now followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and officially launched a post-White House project. On Monday the former president announced he had opened an "office" in Florida that will manage announcements about and support his work going forward. Further details were not released, beyond Trump offering an endorsement of ex-spokeswoman Sarah Sanders' gubernatorial campaign in Arkansas."
Radioactive waste has to be entombed, very expensive, but worth every penny. The air force can probably do the job in a couple of weeks.
US issues terror alert over anti-government extremists excerpt: "The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president. "Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said. The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20."
I suppose Kevin's nose will be a darker shade of brown. What a loser. Trump to meet with McCarthy in Florida on Thursday
Christopher Grider arrested. https://nypost.com/2021/01/27/ashli-babbitt-new-details-reveal-chaotic-moments-before-shooting/ excerpt: "The chaotic moments inside the US Capitol just before a police officer shot and killed a California woman during the riot earlier this month are detailed in a recently unsealed criminal complaint against a Texas man who attended the siege. In the complaint, federal authorities write suspect Christopher Grider was with the mob of President Donald Trump supporters on Jan. 6 as they approached the Speaker’s Lobby from the Rotunda of the Capitol building. Grider was captured on video holding up a black helmet, near a man who was wearing a fur-lined hat and attempting to break a window that separated the mob from the House chambers, according to the complaint. Grider handed the helmet to the man, who used it to smash out the glass, the complaint states. Soon after, 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran from San Diego, tried to jump through the opening and was shot to death by a Capitol Police officer, the complaint states."
