The true meaning of 6 January: we must answer Trump’s neofascism with hope | Robert Reich

excerpt:

"For weeks before the attack, Trump urged supporters to come to Washington for a “Save America March” on 6 January, when Congress was to ceremonially count the electoral votes of Joe Biden’s win.

“Big protest in DC on 6 January. Be there, will be wild!” he tweeted on 19 December. Then on 26 December: “See you in Washington DC on 6 January. Don’t miss it. Information to follow.” On 30 December: “JANUARY SIXTH, SEE YOU IN DC!” On 1 January: “The BIG Protest Rally in Washington DC will take place at 11am on 6 January. Locational details to follow. StopTheSteal!”

At a rally just before the violence, Trump repeated his falsehoods about how the election was stolen.

“We will never give up,” he said. “We will never concede. It will never happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore.”

He told the crowd Republicans were constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back, respectful of everyone – “including bad people”.

But, he said, “we’re going to have to fight much harder … We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong … We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”"

 

The true meaning of 6 January: we must answer Trump’s neofascism with hope | Robert Reich

excerpt"

"He asked Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to “find 11,780 votes”, according to a recording of that conversation, adding: “The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry. And there’s nothing wrong with saying that, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”

He suggested that the secretary of state would be criminally prosecuted if he did not do as Trump told him: “You know what they did and you’re not reporting it. You know, that’s a criminal – that’s a criminal offense. And you know, you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer. That’s a big risk.”

He pressed the acting US attorney general and deputy attorney general to declare the election fraudulent. When the deputy said the department had found no evidence of widespread fraud and warned that it had no power to change the outcome of the election, Trump replied: “Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me” and his congressional allies.

Trump and those allies continued to harangue the attorney general and top justice department officials nearly every day until 6 January. Trump plotted with an assistant attorney general to oust the acting attorney general and pressure lawmakers in Georgia to overturn election results. But Trump ultimately decided against it, after department leaders pledged to resign en masse."

 

The true meaning of 6 January: we must answer Trump’s neofascism with hope | Robert Reich

excerpt:

"But Trump’s attempted coup could not get as far as it has without a deepening anger and despair in a substantial portion of the population that has made such Americans susceptible to his swagger and lies.

It is too simplistic to attribute this anger solely to racism or xenophobia. America has harbored white supremacist and anti-immigrant sentiments since its founding. The anger Trump has channeled is more closely connected to a profound loss of identity, dignity and purpose, especially among Americans who have been left behind – without college degrees, without good jobs, in places that have been hollowed out, economically abandoned, and disdained by much of the rest of the country.

Trump filled a void in a part of America that continues to yearn for a strongman who will deliver it from despair. A similar void haunts other nations where democracy is imperiled. The challenge ahead for the US as elsewhere is to fill that void with hope rather than neofascism. This is the real meaning of 6 January."

 

Trump Claimed 5,000 Dead People Voted in Georgia. The Real Number… Was Four

excerpt:

"State election investigators found only four absentee ballots from dead voters were cast in last year’s presidential election, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. All four of the invalid ballots were submitted by family members of the deceased.

While pushing Raffensberger to overturn Georgia’s election results, Trump painted a picture of a widespread, coordinated effort to pad Biden’s vote totals with ballots that had been mailed to dead people.

“The other thing, dead people. So dead people voted. And I think the number is in the — close to 5,000 people. And they went to obituaries. They went to all sorts of methods to come up with an accurate number. And a minimum is close to about 5,000 voters.”"

 

The formal legislative plan for objecting to the electoral count was sabotaged by Trump and his violent protesters. Trump can't leave well enough alone.

Republicans fear a win by disgraced former Missouri governor Greitens in primary would gift wrap Senate seat for Democrats

excerpt:

"ST. LOUIS (AP) — Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is banking on Republican voters forgiving his past indiscretions when they choose a U.S. Senate nominee in August. Many in the GOP establishment are hoping they don’t forget.

Greitens resigned as governor in 2018 amid an investigation of an extramarital affair with his St. Louis hairdresser allegedly involving bondage and blackmail and leading to criminal and legislative investigations. The allegation of a photo taken without the woman’s consent for the purposes of blackmail led to a felony criminal charge, which was eventually dropped.

From the archives (January 2018): Missouri governor and GOP rising star Eric Greitens accused of blackmailing mistress with photo

Now, he is among the frontrunners in a crowded field of Republican Senate candidates that includes U.S. House members Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long, Attorney General Eric Schmitt and the St. Louis lawyer who made headlines by pointing a gun at racial-injustice protesters outside his home, Mark McCloskey.

Some Republican leaders worry that Greitens could win the GOP nomination but lose in the general election, ceding a crucial Senate seat, held since 2011 by Republican Roy Blunt, in what should be a safely red state. Among them is Hartzler, citing one major demographic in particular."

excerpt:

"Kimberly Guilfoyle, a Trump campaign adviser and the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., is the national chairwoman of Greitens’s campaign, and Trump’s pollster, Tony Fabrizio, is working for Greitens.

Hewitt, while interviewing Trump earlier this month, implored him not to endorse Greitens. “That’s a nightmare, Mr. President,” Hewitt said. “We’ll lose that seat.”"

 

Might as well ignore the whole of the Bible.

 

I never understood the allure the young Trumphs....they're whiney spoiled brats-and not particularly smart either.

 

Best was when they used to do the Trumph boys on SNL....

 

A Texas sheriff's lieutenant who called the Capitol riot one of the best days of her life has been fired

excerpt:

"A Texas sheriff's lieutenant who was at the Capitol on January 6 and called the insurrection one of the best days of her life has been fired, local news outlet KSAT12 reported.

Bexar County Sheriff's Office lieutenant Lt. Roxanne Mathai, 47, was placed on administrative leave in January after she posted multiple photos to Facebook near the US Capitol on January 6, KSAT reported.

Sheriff Javier Salazar officially fired Mathai in June, but she appealed his decision, according to KSAT. When the case was brought before an arbitrator, she argued that she was present for a historic event and was wrongfully terminated.

Since Mathai said she didn't enter the Capitol, she also argued that she was not involved in the siege, local CBS affiliate KENS5 reported.

Salazar called her defense "ridiculous" in an interview with KSAT on Monday.

"It's not like you're standing there for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That's a historic event," Salazar said. "You're there when fellow Americans lost their lives. That's nothing to be proud of."

The arbitrator ultimately sided with Salazar and upheld Mathai's firing from her post, according to KSAT."

 

As Trump would say, "You're fired!"

 

It's even worse than Trump's TV show where the person Trump fired wouldn't appeal the firing and be fired again by an arbiter.

 

So Alex Jones wife laid him out.............

Alex Jones’ Wife Arrested After Allegedly Beating Him ‘Over 20 Times’ on Christmas Eve

The wife of far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was arrested late last week after she allegedly beat her husband.

Police took Erika Wulff Jones, 43, into custody on Friday night after she allegedly struck her husband over the head “over 20 times,” reported The Daily Beast, citing police documents. She was charged with misdemeanor charges of assault and resisting arrest. She was reportedly released on Sunday on a $6,000 bond.

“It’s a private family matter that happened on Christmas Eve,” Jones told The Associated Press. “I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance.”

The Daily Beast, citing the Travis County arrest affidavit, reported that “during an initial 911 phone call with police, Jones told an emergency operator that his wife had struck him over the head multiple times and was ‘holding a polished club in her hand’ and attempting to ‘hit him with it.’”

 

They need a life coach.

 

She needs a life coach.

 

She's just expressing what millions of sane citizens would like to do!!

 

THIS JUST IN: Alex says the beating still didn't knock any sense into his head...
