New York Times Releases New Video Documenting January 6th

Looks like good watching thanks OP.

America really does have an endless supply of angry, potato-faced middle aged white guys who have a great deal to "play army men" and indulge these bizarre impulses.

The fucked up thing is that they're not poor as they have endless funds for militia gear, a hundred guns, shields, tactical gear, plane tickets, logo t-shirts and hoodies. I imagine the average insurrectionist makes $100,000 a year!

1.07 into the documentary. There's that wooden platform and scaffold with a noose hanging from it. Lucky they didn't catch Pence or Pelosi.

I 100% believe the mob would have killed both of them if they had been able to find them.

Sickening

Watched it this afternoon. It's chilling. This was an armed rebellion against the United States. One of the most disturbing moments was the participation of an active-duty, Marine Corps officer, Major Christopher Warnagiris. He should be courtmartialed for treason. Also beyond the pale was the Republican representative who dismissed this violent insurrection as nothing, after watching him blockading the doors of the House against these rebels. Unconscionable.

After watching that video -- which every American should see -- I cannot ever again support Republicans. Adam Kinzinger and Lynne Cheney are the only elected ones who have a shred of character and decency...flawed as they are.

The cops just should've opened fire and done society a favor.

Damn tourists.

I still can’t believe this actually happened.

I want to watch but I’m trying to avoid media that triggers anxiety, rage and hopeless.

But it seems important to face.

Well done. HOWEVER.... the narrator never blames ANY police for tacitly allowing the siege to happen. I hear more gunfire every single night in my suburban neighborhood than discharged during the ENTIRE siege. The fact that the cops didn't use their guns makes NO SENSE....

Definitely watch it R11. It's important to know the cold hard facts about such an important event in our history. Detach from the emotional. It's 40.23 in length.

I want Boebart, Gosar, Brooks, etc tried for treason and given a traitor's sentence.

I enraged by all riots, not just this one.

Yeah, the number of semi-interested foot-dragging cops really didn't help much that day, did they? Why didn't they have semi-automatic weapons and just start mowing these criminals down to regain order? After blowing some heads off I think the afternoon would have gone smoother. They'd rather whine about Nancy Pelosi and libruls while allowing the GOP Senators to shut down a full investigation. They make me sick!

As I've said before it would actually have been better if twenty cops were killed on January 6th. Maybe they'd remember who to whine about, and then there'd be fewer criminal cops to kill civilians on the street. A real win/win!

[quote]The fact that the cops didn't use their guns makes NO SENSE....

Because they saw themselves in those assholes and that includes Sicknick who voted for Trump. Most cops have the same mentality as those terrorists and so they could see them as "human." Make them brown or black and they wouldn't hesitate to draw their weapons.

I don’t want to watch it…….I’ve seen quite enough already………I just want our government to do something about it.

I don't understand the resolute "head in the sand" response and attitudes here. "I won't look in that direction and therefore it won't exist..."

How do you know what you want the government to do R18? Do something about what exactly? You are not properly informed. These people are not going anywhere.

This was actually the most appalling day of my life as an American. I would like to know specifically which individuals refused backup for the sparse police force. These traitors showed a blatant disregard for the lives of the police officers who had the horrific task of defending the Capitol against a mob. Some of them died. They had to know what the result of their negligence would be. It was obvious what would happen. They must be held accountable for the deaths they caused.

R19, I'm another person who doesn't want to watch it. I'm angry enough that so many got away with their roles in inciting it.

I don't know what R18 wants done, but I know what I want done: Prison for every single person who participated, incl. MoC. If it turns out that certain members did in fact gives "tours" to the terrorists...oh, excuse me, "tourists," I want life imprisonment for those members, because I won't get what I really want: A firing squad.

give* tours

R19

No head in the sand ..,what more do I need to see to realize how fucked up the Jan 6 Capital riot was? what ….watch it over and over only this time in more detail? It’s fucked up….I want the government to arrest ever one of those fuckers and aggressively go after right wing extremists..don’t show me more videos and tell me more of what I already know………….just do something about it this time…..so there won’t be a next time…

These nutcase groups like Proud Boys and all the rest need to be fucking smashed into oblivion.

Do any of those “patriots” have a mental age older than 12? With their idiotic shouts of “this is OUR house”, whining “I want my country back” or threatening “that bitch Nancy” like a pack of schoolyard bullies that’s what they seem like. They are like spoiled children throwing a tantrum because they didn’t get their way or they’re playing soldiers like they’re in some some video game. These people are not adults. They’ve never grown up. Only this is real life and they need to be punished as severely as possible.

What are they so angry about? Who took their country from them? None of them are starving and destitute. I am perplexed as to what they think was taken from them and what they think they're owed.

This is precisely why it's one thing to critique "woke" culture, it's an entirely different level of idiocy to claim the "both sides" crap or in any way be more critical of the left when you witness THIS.

The left has never literally attempted to overthrow the fucking country. My God, how do you have the nerve to act as though the right isn't the biggest threat? You have to be a god damned racist and/or bigot to pull that shit. You have no other excuse. I mean am I supposed to believe your greatest concern is the Koch bros getting a tax cut, since the GOP has no damned policies beyond kissing Trump's flabby orange, prejudiced ass

27 posts so far and not one mention of the fucking Orange Nazi who instigated all of this:

DONALD JOHN TRUMP

He needs to be tried and convicted for treason since the evidence was recorded for the entire world to see.

#3 is correct. Everyone is focusing on what DIDN'T happen. Just because the losers failed at assassination doesn't mean they were "just tourists taking selfies".

What do they want?

They want their country BACK - in the 20th Century.

Social change frightens them to death.

They want the country they thought they had: when men marrying men was impossible; where those who considered it died of AIDS.

They want back that country where no woman would seriously dream of running for high office; and where if one did, would be stricken down by a strong male WASP.

They want a country where a Black man didn’t sit in a White House. They wanted a return to a time when advertisers dare not show interracial happy families for fear of offending those who had money.

They had finally begun to rid their country of that nightmare. They replaced the aberrant President with an exaggerated return of the remembered country. A country where token minorities served in token roles. Where women did what men wanted done. Where the social order was restored.

And then, just as they were relaxing into the remembered country’s return, their leader was overthrown by the Black Man’s partner.

As Cory Ryan Forrester said in his rant on YouTube the day after Jan 6th...' Patriots' saying "we want to take our country back'...from what? 'What has anyone done to you, you entitled pieces of shit'. R30...yes all your points are very valid.

[quote]The fact that the cops didn't use their guns makes NO SENSE

It has been explained multiple times that they didn't shoot at the rioters because they knew the rioters were armed and a bloodbath would ensue.

This is such a simple, basic, easy concept to understand. If the police had started shooting into the crowd, there would have been mass casualties on all sides.

And the end result would be that the insurrectionists would have been seen as VICTIMS. It would have been a huge win for those who organized the coup, and in fact I would bet ANYTHING they were expecting more people to be shot by the police, so they could milk it for sympathy and victimhood talking points.

[quote]the narrator never blames ANY police for tacitly allowing the siege to happen. I hear more gunfire every single night in my suburban neighborhood than discharged during the ENTIRE siege. The fact that the cops didn't use their guns makes NO SENSE....

I read an interview with some CP officers & they knew that the rioters had guns; they were afraid if the started shooting, the rioters would see it as an invitation to start shooting as well & it would turn into a bloodbath.

I wonder what ever happened to the CP officer videoed taking selfies with the rioters.

[quote]They want a country where a Black man didn’t sit in a White House.

That's really when this current wave of far-right domestic terrorism started. The 2008 election had a lot of interference from online trolls, like those "PUMAs" who were pretending to be Democrats angry at the "sexism" behind Hillary Clinton not getting the nomination. They encouraged women to vote McCain instead since Palin was on the ticket. It worked really well for about two months and then lost most of its influence, though the PUMAs continued to try to convince people to vote against Democrats.

But it was a pretty good trial run for online trolling influence campaigns, and the Tea Party that sprang up after Obama was elected did a better job than the PUMAs. Let's not forget the Republicans were trying to cheat in 2012 as well, when Rove went psycho on live TV when Obama won states he wasn't "supposed to."

By 2016 they had perfected the online trolling influence campaigns and the cheating, and had help from foreign influences. It's no wonder that by 2020, it had all escalated to the point that it lead to an actual coup attempt.

If social media doesn't cut off the head of this foreign-and-Republican propaganda beast, we'll have more events like January 6th.

It seems like the more "new" footage I watch, the larger the crowd gets. They could've filled a goddamn football stadium.

R33, I don't doubt an after-the-insurrection explanation came forward — that the Captiol Police didn't want to shoot for fear of a bloodbath. But that doesn't make a lick of sense. Cops — every single day of their life — are trained to use their guns that are strapped to their waists. De-escalation is NOT a typical police-force reaction. Just ask Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger... Not shooting — even warning shots — doesn't make ANY sense.

There were multiple articles saying that they were told beforehand to not shoot. I know that at least one of the Capital Police who came forward and talked to the press about how they were let down by their commanders mentioned it.

They weren't shot at, therefore not shooting makes perfect sense.

[quote] Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who has spoken of the racial slurs he endured while defending the Capitol, told Forbes it’s “good” the committee was approved but he “didn’t think it would be that close.”

[quote] The committee was approved 222-190, with all House Republicans except Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) voting against it.

[quote] “I mean, I’m angry,” D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was injured in the attack, told Forbes of the number of GOP “no” votes, adding that he was “shocked but not surprised.”

[quote] Fanone said he was present in the chamber for the debate preceding the vote only for “what I could stomach,” calling Republican arguments against the committee “the same old song.”

[quote] Gladys Sicknick, the mother of Brian Sicknick, a Capitol police officer who died following the attack, said she “couldn’t believe” how many Republicans voted no, adding, “I just don’t believe anybody could vote no, it doesn’t make sense.”

[quote] “I try not to take these things personally, but it’s very personal for me. I almost lost my life that day. I watched a lot of my friends almost lose their lives,” Fanon told Forbes of his reaction to the vote.

[quote] Republicans argued that the membership breakdown of the committee – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appoints all 13 members, with only five in consultation with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy – made the probe “partisan.” Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-Minn.), who previously voted against an independent commission that was blocked by Senate Republicans, claimed, "Democrats refuse to put together a truly bipartisan commission."

[quote] The officers were mostly visited in the chamber by House Democrats, as well as Cheney. Pelosi and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who escorted the officers and Sicknick during their trip to the Capitol, both recounted how they remarked on the number of “no” votes.

The line that says the rioters felt “deputized” by “El Douche”Trump says if all. They felt like they were doing a patriotic duty and had a right to storm the Capitol after being told to at rally. Meanwhile, Trump, being the coward he is, he went home. Don Jt went home to enjoy another speedball.

Gonna Be Wild! 😑

[quote]We were trained in what to do if gunmen tried to storm the Capitol, but we were not trained in what to do if hundreds of people, egged on by the president of the United States, decided to rush the building and disrupt certification of the votes of the electoral college, not with an armed assault — although some had weapons — but with numbers. Huge numbers.

[quote]...the reality is that every instinct of those police officers was to not shoot, and for a number of reasons. Left alone or in small groups because of leaders’ lack of preparation for this event, each of these officers had to ask themselves the most horrible of questions: What is happening behind me? When do I kill 16 of the 1,000 people in front of me with the ammunition I have in my Glock 22 because they are pushing past me? (You won’t be able to reload.) What is my point of no return?

We must be watching different reports. All I see in the Times multimedia report are some patriotic bedrock Amurican citizens exercising their right to enter the Capitol to add their passionate voice to democratic debate! Just another typical day in the Capitol. Not a single one had a gun. Some even dressed amusingly for the gay affair! Afterwards, they met for delicious cocktails at POTUS Trump's beautiful hotel. You're all just jelly. And making much to do about nothing.

Did we ever find out if Officer Fanone is a Trump supporter? Just curious

fucking traitors

God, that video is hard to watch; the sight of that debacle still makes me cry & realize how much worse things could've been

what is maddening is what a precarious position the Capitol security was put it, that GOP lawmakers deny and distort what transpired WHILE BEING THERE is criminal.

[quote] I 100% believe the mob would have killed both of them if they had been able to find them.

And that would have been 50% awful!

Weren't the bombs discovered DURING the siege? Does the New York Times video even touch on the bombs? I stopped watching after 37 minutes — not a peep about the bombs yet.

Bombs were discovered at 1 p.m. on Jan. 6.

no mention

[quote]Did we ever find out if Officer Fanone is a Trump supporter? Just curious

Of course he is.

[quote] the narrator never blames ANY police for tacitly allowing the siege to happen

stop watching foxnews, it's not a reporter's job to assign blame or convict. the images collected are damning enough.

FoxNews...? Uh, you must mean stop watching Mika & Joe.

r57, what ever, good journalism isn't about this type of editorializing and sensational bullshit. the video is damning on its own

Is it "editorializing" if the good journo raises the fact that our police were so damningly derelict in their duties? And how many arrests did police immediately make on Jan. 6? Less than 70!

nope - it isn't editorializing. YET stating "the narrator never BLAMES any police" is making the journalist a judge and jury. that isn't their job. Pointing out how many (or how few) were arrested is completely different, unrelated in fact.

The New York Times can just as easily produce a tape that names each officer — their public-servant identities. The New York Times does blame/blaspheme many of the rioters. "Unrelated in fact....?" Why are the cops "unrelated" to the rioters? Because they're cops?

I think Trump meant this to be a final act of narcissistic rage against the United States for rejecting him. He's very, very lucky that no members of Congress were killed or physically harmed. If his followers weren't so brainwashed they'd see that the fact that he wasn't immediately locked up after participating in this atrocity (which he's much too dumb to have planned himself--I'm guessing it's Roger Stone's baby) is proof that there's no Deep State.

So do we think Trump will run again in 2024? Biden would surely kick his ass.

[quote] Why are the cops "unrelated" to the rioters? Because they're cops?

you're creating a thread about yourself

compare and contrast two statements:

"the narrator never BLAMES any police"

"the police made 72 arrests"

unrelated, one is stating a tally of arrests, the other opining why blame isn't being given. and if you continue you're just talking to yourself as I've blocked you

Derelict? What the hell? Clearly the cops were outnumbered and overwhelmed at the start of this thing. I'd have to watch it again with an eye to what the NYT narration said about each of the insurrectionists identified in the video as far as assigning blame or supplying motive unfairly. Those who were identified were caught on camera committing what are possibly criminal acts on camera (the jurstice system will decide).

precisely, it isn't for the NYT to decide. and indeed, some cops just ceded the way, others fought valiantly and were wounded. They were frequently gassed and beaten - the buck stops with those who decided in advance not to fortify the Capitol

The problem is, the people who need to see this don't read/watch the NYT.

indeed

I don't need to see anymore because my eyes were glued to the TV and the 'net on 1/6/21 and I saw it live.

It's repulsive that these traitors - including those who incited the insurrection, like Cruz, Hawley, Boehbert and, of course, Trump - continue to walk the Earth freely.

In many other countries, they would have been summarily executed by now.

Gross and disgusting

Speaking of Sarah Palin, I knew when they dug up her and Todd's connections to that nutty Alaska secessionist party that white nationalists had entered the scene.

And all it took was a very stupid, scummy, sleazy clown born on third with a bad tan/bad hair and who was in fact the actual "elitist," to simply be a loud n' proud racist and bigot for these mostly provincial dirtbags to crawl out from under their rocks...or do we still have enablers pretending that wasn't precisely the moment most Republican voters became Trump supporters? Are we still pretending it was something else? I don't recall hootin' and hollerin' over Trump talking about fixing infrastructure.

The media enabled all of this as did so-called moderate Dems, because there was a lack of empathy from all of them due to Trump's targets. Apparently, it was fine that he was referring to people as rapists, murderers and terrorists, because no one gave a shit about the people who were the targets of that constant vitriol whether at his rallies or tweeting.

I cant watch it...nor can I watch anything on Vietnam anymore. Some things are just too painful. Unless there is justice..I just can't anymore

Then you’re a part of the problem

As charges are read that Weisselberg evaded taxes on $1.7 million of income, 45 issues a statement alleging wrongdoing in the death of Ashli Babbitt.

Perhaps this is a bit tin hat, but did anyone watch the part about how long it took for Congress to evacuate, thinking that there were several in the crowd (including that cunt from AZ that was speaking) that fully *expected* the crowd to bust in stop the voting, which is why they stalled the evacuation for so long when the Senate had already headed to the basement?

I've read a lot (probably too much) about this, R73, and I've come to something of an opposite conclusion. It seems to me that there weren't more injuries and why most of the people wandering around inside the Capitol look lost and confused is because that is exactly what they were. The video points out that there were trained military in their ranks who were looking to do some serious damage--or executions--but for the most part, the goal was just to create chaos. It really does seem like the majority thought they were going to encounter ANTIFA and have brawls in the streets.

Therein, the objective of Gosar (and Brooks, and maybe even Cruz) was just to stall the proceedings until the fighting in the streets and/or the bombs went off which then would give the White House an excuse to declare a State of Emergency. THAT was how they were planning to stop the certification. Breaking in was a secondary objective (which is why they had most of their weapons stockpiled in Virginia...for later...)

The big questions to me center around those two bombs: Why didn't they detonate? And, with all of the video and other information available, why haven't they found the individual(s) who planted them.

I think that is the going to be the key to this whole thing.

I was shocked that the windows of the Capitol Building were just regular glass that could easily be broken. I would've thought they were bulletproof, military-grade or whatever you call those kind of windows.

Why do you think that?

It’s very obvious they weren’t regular glass or they wouldn’t have needed a police shield to break it. And even then, it only broke from the pane and came out in one piece.

That's interesting R74; you may well be right. I just thought it was an interesting coincide that Neo Nazi twat Gosar is droning on & on at the exact time all hell is breaking loose as if he *wants* to keep his colleagues around long enough to get their heads stomped in when the mob comes through the door. Surely all of them had phones & knew what was going on around them.

r76 other people were breaking the windows with their fists.

And if it wasn’t reinforced glass, one fist would’ve shattered it. Try it on your own windows.

Nice to see Goser and Trump doing THE MOST to try and get the officer who killed the domestic terrorist Babbit, gunned down. Probably his/her loved ones threatened and possibly killed, as well! Blue lives matter! (Unless we like the Domestic Terrorists better! Then, fuck you, Popo!)

Who Shot Babbit the Rabbit seems to be the new Repig Lost Cause.

The Trumpanzees are trying to turn Ashli Babbitt into Crispus Attucks.

Which is laughable because in the wake of her death, her own family didn't seem to be terribly sorry & openly admitted she was a troubled person with a messy life!

You're 100% spot on R30. The problem is that the world they want to resurrect doesn't exist anymore and it never will again.

Like you have eloquently said - they're scared as hell but they still think they can bring that world back by fighting for it and that scares the hell out of me.

"and if you continue you're just talking to yourself as I've blocked you." ummm... you blocked me?

"one is stating a tally of arrests, the other opining why blame isn't being given."

so far, you can guarantee that the cops were derelict in arresting [which would have meant "STOPPING" the rioters... ] more than 300 criminals at the scene of the crime. there's enough footage to show the cops failed = neglected/derelict = to perform their duties. if they did start arresting, what would have happened? the rioters would, in turn, have arrested the cops?

also, something else really really bothers me. even in the NYTimes video coverage, the times does not name the officer who shot Ashli Babbit. That's a homicide and definitely justified. However, the Times' footage everyone is watching does not even bring attention to the identity of the public servant who commuted the justified homicide. Uh... Why?

R73, i don’t think that is that far-fetched

I wish 60 Minutes or one of the network news shows could get McCarthy or any one of the these idiot GOP senators to do an interview where they force them to watch some of this film and simply describe what they see.

It's pointless to assign any kind of reason to this since no one (even her family) *really* gives a shit about Babbit - she's just their little MAGA Joan of Arc - but I don't see how the identity of the officer is even relevant. The footage shows congress evacuating; the mob tries to break down the door to get to them. The cops on the outside clearly have given up containing the mob. The officer standing between the mob & congress pulls a gun & probably issues some sort of warning, but Babbit pops through the broken window anyway. It was clearly an effective deterrent because notice no one else said "I will pick up her fallen Trump flag & carry it forward!" - they backed the fuck off.

Doesn't this fall under that "Stand Your Ground" rule the MAGAs are so enamored with?

Given that the Q-Anoners and Trumpsters are certain that the person who shot Babbit was a member of Mike Pence's detail, they're almost surely just continuing the story of Pence being a member of the Deep State who kept Trump from his rightful place as president.

They also want to know his name so they can go after him.

[quote]Given that the Q-Anoners and Trumpsters are certain that the person who shot Babbit was a member of Mike Pence's detail, they're almost surely just continuing the story of Pence being a member of the Deep State who kept Trump from his rightful place as president.

Ah, I didn't know that - that makes sense!

it does clearly show that after she was shot, they backed off

[quote] The problem is that the world they want to resurrect doesn't exist anymore and it never will again.

That really is the essence of this whole thing, and they're too stupid to realize that you can't go back to the past. The world is moving on without them, and they're pissed as hell about it.

There are recent moves by the GOP that they’re going to go after women’s access to birth control. The pill, for one example, has been a available since 1960. They want to go back to the 50s or earlier. Condoms, of course, will never be hard to get as it’s for the male to decide whether he wants to use one or not. They want everything to go into reverse.

"I don't see how the identity of the officer is even relevant." Ugh — obvi. The officer who shot Babbitt was not given order to "stand down." So THAT officer in comparison to every other officer is unique.

Well Derek, you of all people should know that if MAGAs love anything, it's a trigger happy cop. If it was a BLM protester, they'd want to know his name so they could throw him a parade.

If Babbit had been a black women the MAGAts would have wanted her filled with enough holes so that she looked more like a lace doily than a human being.

I watched it, 40 minutes well spent. I'd seen most of the footage here and there, but seeing it assembled really drove home the awfulness of the riots, and the rioters. Every single fucking one of them should be imprisoned, and that goes for the politicians who were cowering but afterwards said "it wasn't a riot, it was just tourists."

1/6/21 was the most hilarious day in US history.

[quote] If Babbit had been a black women

Oh, dear!

Agreed R99, though members of the military like Marine Major Warnagiris have been criminally charged, but are still on active duty

[quote]If Babbit had been a black women the MAGAts would have wanted her filled with enough holes so that she looked more like a lace doily than a human being.

And they'd defend her being shot even if she were in her own bed as opposed to literally storming a building and climbing through broken windows to kill people.

"I was invited here by the President..." is one quote that particularly stands out from the documentary for me. We all watched Dump peddle the lies and then enable/encourage his supporters into frenzied action/insurrection so it's no surprise that many of them believed they were doing exactly what they were told to do with Presidential impunity. That in no way excuses what the insurrectionists did. Dump has miraculously escaped all blame just like he has his whole life. Dump and his political supporters have a lot to answer for but they will never be called to account. To believe otherwise is preposterous. I remain convinced that Pelosi and Pence are VERY fortunate they didn't find them otherwise they would have both be killed. Hung or pulled apart and beaten to death.

It was fascinating to see a complete timeline of the day which was delivered in an unbiased and factual manner. I had only seen disjointed snippets before this. Also fascinating to see how sparsely the Capitol was guarded and how requested police and army support was ignored (4 times requested by a senior commander). It's unacceptable that credible reports of planned violence delivered to various law agencies were all but ignored. They had to know what was going to happen.

It's crystal clear why police didn't shoot the insurrectionists - thousands would have ended up dead and the consequent nationwide civil unrest would have been unfathomable. This documentary was definitely worth a watch.

And the Republican Party still supports Trump after this disgusting spectacle! They are truly insane and have lost what little credibility they still had. I'm not a fan of Liz Cheney, but at least she had the decency to say that this Trump madness must end and Republicans need to move on.

True R104. But anyone who expects credibility or integrity from Republicans is just being willfully stupid at this point. They want to be in power and at any cost.

[quote] Also fascinating to see how sparsely the Capitol was guarded and how requested police and army support was ignored (4 times requested by a senior commander).

Not only was it interesting, it was practically beyond belief how sparsely guarded it was. Things that look like conspiracies are usually good old fashioned incompetence at work, but after seeing that video it's almost impossible to believe weak LE response & the failure to reinforce wasn't planned.

While the video was very well done, I noticed the video of the CP taking selfies with the protestors was not part of the video. I'm not saying they should smear the CP, but there were clearly officers that aided protestors.

That was ignored it seems

[quote] Pelosi and Pence are VERY fortunate they didn't find them otherwise they would have both be killed. Hung or pulled apart and beaten to death.

On the plus side, it would’ve been the first time Pence was ever described as hung in his life.

Totally off point but is Pence looking at Reagan's crotch and thinking about sucking his geriatric cock in this photo?

Mikey is wondering if the plumbing still works, yes.

The new MAGA talking point:

"Who shot Qunty Rabbit?"

I guess the OP is fine with all the other rioting that went on though. How about the black man that bashed in the windshield and terrorized a toddler. Yes it was so nice of the judge to say it was "difficult times" and let him off.

These people weren't terrorizing anyone except AOC who is perfectly fine letting crime run through her district as long as it is not her. LIke Mayor of Chicago Beetlejuice who won't let anyone protest outside her house, but is fine if it's someone else's.

OP here's an idea why don't you go soak your head in a vat of your antiretrovirals. The ones that Big Pharma made and are saving your life but you hate them anyway.

I'm surprised they aren't blaming Officer Eugene Goodman or Officer Brian Sicknick and threatening to kill Goodman or those officers families. I'd bet a good amount of money Sicknick's grieving mother has endured threats and harassment from Trumper trash for supporting a J6 Investigation.

R38, that picture really got to me. Officer Fanone is hugging Officer Sicknick's grieving mother. My anger means nothing compared to what they are going through. I don't know how the Republicans can sleep at night.

Now that Proud Boys are busted, R112, I guess there's not much to do but troll online, I guess? I know, hiding in the basement, wondering if any of your friends or coworkers reported you to the FBI is undoubtedly anxiety inducing and you need an outlet.

[quote]These people weren't terrorizing anyone...

Just fuck off R112.

blocked that turd

Imagine how grossly obese R112 is...

I hope you F&F’d before you blocked.

Good R86. That stupid woman should not have been there. However, if she was alive, she'd be in jail for years. A real brainwashed moron if ever I saw one. To all those idiots....was this worth it?

Even Babbit's own family members have said that she had a screw loose. They were embarrassed about it.

What R117 said. Don't even respond to the asshole. No Dem leader has ever done what the GOP has. The Republicans are fucking loser filth who can't win in an actual democracy, so they've gone feral. A bunch of terrorist savages who don't belong in a civilized society and R112 is one of them.

Wow. That was hard to watch, and so eye opening about what went on. And how planned it really was. That any Republican would whitewash this is mind boggling, but not unexpected. And that the Orange Turd has managed to walk away from this is unfathomable.

Walked away scot-free r123. This country is disgusting.

R123, "whitewash" isn't even the word for it when you have an actual MoC who was literally helping barricade the doors because he knew how dangerous they were and then called those people "tourists" in the aftermath.

White supremacy is a cancer on society. It shows that certain people do not actually believe in competing or equality. They simply think their epidermis alone gives them the right to kill to maintain that superiority.

[quote] when you have an actual MoC who was literally helping barricade the doors because he knew how dangerous they were and then called those people "tourists" in the aftermath.

Fucking disgraceful.

mendacious

And even as Clyde was helping barricade the door, he showed what a typical, Republican asshole he was by being the only one not wearing a mask. So even in his moment of chivalry, he was still a dick:

I was watching Chris Hayes and he was just interviewing one member of the NYT team who put the video together and they showed the clip of the QAnon woman who got trampled while her friend is pleading for help. I guess I must be an asshole, because I couldn't care less that she was. All I think is what would she have done had she actually gotten inside? Fuck her and her friend. My only complaint is more weren't trampled during their "tour."

"All I think is what would she have done had she actually gotten inside? "

My partner and I said the same exact thing. She was a rabid animal like the rest of them. Given the chance, I'm sure she would've jumped up and down on AOC's body if that crowd got ahold of her like they were intending.

Why are the CP such pussies?

They are so passive and accepting of the Senate GOP shutting down a full Congressional investigation, where by their own powers they can go on strike, or have a work stoppage and shut down Congress indefinitely to protest until Mitch agrees to a full investigation! They're not only too stupid and chickenshit to do this, but they all voted for Trump, so they're terrified to rile up the crowd of insurrectionists with whom they agree!

I wonder what they'd be doing if ten cops were killed? Twenty? More?

What has happened to the insurrectionists? Have the all been charged, had a trial and been locked up? What are their sentences?

I thought there would have been much more noise and fanfare about what happened to the ones who were identified and arrested. What happened to the Proud Boys, America Firsters and other armed militia groups?

All of these Fascists should be dumped in Russia just like the government sid to radicals like Emma Goldman after WWI. If they want Fascism so bad send them to Putin.

Regardless of who shot Ashli Babbitt, I’m a bit bummed that he didn’t get her in the scalp, spraying her brains out à la JFK. I could have finally had my Grassy Knoll, Chanel pillbox hat moment.

The scary/funny part about watching Ashli Babbitt take a bullet in the neck was one of her fellow insurrectionist/cosplayers starts yelling "Medic! Medic!" when she goes down.

Bitch, do you think you are part of some infantry battalion, and not a bunch of fat, stupid weekend warriors, play-acting your suburban white yokel "revolution"? Where is this medic you're calling for? In your war game imagination?

Ugh!

Fucking idiots break into the US Capitol building and then are shocked armed police are waiting for them. Some people are just too fucking stupid to live.

545 Insurrectionists Now Charged as New Court Filing Reveals Assault on New York Times Reporter

Did you watch the video R137? There are many accounts of the insurrectionists saying they believed they were invited there by Dump to defend and fight for democracy. Others saying they were "deputized" by him.

Yes it's insane - but it's what many of them believed because of what Dump said to them while shitting his diaper in public.

"I was told to break the law" is not a valid excuse to do so, but I'll let each deplorable find that out on their own!

Just the usual touristy stuff.

Amazing how tough they all were...until they were caught. Now they're ratting on each other (Proud Bois), bawling for mommy and organic food (QCow), blaming capitol police for letting them in (LOL! They 💙 Blue Lives!), franticly deleting data from their phones and whining like the pussies they are about having to be in lockup.

Pussies.

Weak ass snowflakes.

Whiners.

Criminals.

I 100% agree with you R140. I was just reporting what was claimed by the insurrectionists in the documentary.

I'd like to see them all get at least 20 years hard time. That would send a very definite message to other would be insurrectionists like the ones in OP link.

Did they ever punish the police who opened the gates for them?

[quote]Bitch, do you think you are part of some infantry battalion, and not a bunch of fat, stupid weekend warriors, play-acting your suburban white yokel "revolution"? Where is this medic you're calling for? In your war game imagination?

That is *exactly* what they think; they fancy themselves some sort of military force to restore Dear Leader

The NPR article indicates some officers were suspended following the attack; I'm guessing the whole thing may still be in some sort of disciplinary process with the union

Trump's now asking: Who shot Ashli Babbitt? Fucker was still in office when the bullet ripped through her neck. At the inauguration, Trump could've supplied the answer. Lazy fuck

[quote] All I think is what would she have done had she actually gotten inside? Fuck her!

I’m thinking she would’ve headed straight for the cafeteria.

I still find it a riot that in the irony of all ironies, the woman who was trampled was holding a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag.

Wasn’t so much a statement as a request.

Lmao.

Disgusting

R148, 🤣

Wasn't she absolutely massive and grossly obese too R148? They really had their work cut out for them to trample her.

[quote]I still find it a riot that in the irony of all ironies, the woman who was trampled was holding a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag.

Does make you think the universe has a sense of humor, no? Add to that, Trump & the repigs are desperate to turn Babbit into some kind of MAGA Joan of Arc, but even her own family doesn't care who shot her beyond what kind of pay out they think they can get.

Normal people know what that Babbitt terrorist was doing when she got shot and we know what the deplorable cockroaches would say had she been shot if she so much as stepped on someone's lawn as a non-white person.

[quote] Officials reported that Joseph Cable Barnes was killed in crash on June 12 when he ran a red light and crashed into a 2015 silver Toyota Avalon. On arrival, officers declared Barnes deceased. Emergency crews transported the driver of the Toyota to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. It is unclear if speed or alcohol played a part in the crash.

Burn in hell, Barnes

I’m trying to drum up some crocodile tears but it’s not working.

Someone cue Nelson.

Well, glad the person Barnes crashed into wasn't hurt; while he was like a garden variety reckless moron, I would like to think the gravity of charges, legal bills and the financial strain that all of that brings - while Dear Leader turned his back on him, contributed to his demise

no r71. I watched it live...both the insurrection and the Vietnam war which was on my TV every day for yrs....

Adam Kinzinger: I'm not going to name the congresspeople that may have had something to do with the insurrection, but Lauren Boebert.

[quote]Just the usual touristy stuff.

That's right GOP, it's well-known that tourists routinely erect gallows and are then filmed live going about their vigorous tourism. It's good for the economy, and spreads nothing but goodwill.

I know Adam Kinzinger gets mixed reaction of DL, but he gave a no fucks to give interview to the NYT that was quite impressive & called out by name Lauren Boebert as an instigator - if not co-conspirator of the insurrection, as noted in R161, but also called out that Marjorie creature for exactly what she is.

Thanks for sharing this OP.

One of the things I hate about Trump getting away with inciting the violence of January 6th. Is he still gets secret service protection paid for by the taxpayers. And he'll get a state funeral one day and get to lay in state in the capital building.

And dosen't deserve any of these perks after what he's done to this country over the course of the last six years and what he incited back in January.

And it's infuriating that he hasn't been held accountable for anything yet. Fuck Donald Trump and his deplorables along with all of his enablers.

[quote] lay in state

Oh, dear.

R166 Please get a life!

Already have a great one. One that includes proper grammar.

[quote]Trump's now asking: Who shot Ashli Babbitt?

Oh, please. Nick Frittata (or whatever the fuck that ethnic, white supremacist moron's name is) and parasites like him, are putting that in Trump's stupid head. He couldn't care less about her. You know what Trump would actually ask? "Is she at least an 8?"

Exactly - if he can’t grab her pussy he wouldn’t matter

No arguments there R165 and since he's slipped the noose a couple of times, I don't know if there will ever be a reckoning for him, but the Trump name is ruined now. Maybe it will take some time, but his businesses (such as they are) will go bankrupt, properties will strip his name and places that have long hated him like Scotland & Ireland will gladly remove his properties stone by stone. Whatever he's sought to build will be destroyed along with the lives of his children. So while there is no short term punishment, all the things he really loves in the world will be gone.

r168 if you care so much about proper grammar then you shouldn't be on internet forums.

Trump should go to prison for his role in this.

Yes R173. But somehow Dump is made of teflon.

I think R171 is bang on correct. That punishment will be slow and eventually the name will be mud worldwide.

R32. What makes you so sure that CP knew not to shoot? The hapless cops were not equipped with handguns. That’s what simple. This was an inside job planned by those Pigs and Fat Orange. They were set up!

As to when and why these fat pasty-assed YTs were so angry is due to far-rightwing AM talk shows and the likes f Rush Limbaugh. These racist white “conservatives” (which is simply a codeword for white male bigots and sexists) have been around for decades. They will do anything to hold onto power. The most fucked up part of their ideology (if you can call it that) is they always claim to uphold the Constitution and that’s their duty as patriots. However, it is a FACT that they never gave a shit about it. The Federalists and the Heritage Foundation et al, are nothing but their fascist fronts to destroy our rights and the Constitution itself.

r173...

Also, the bottom line is that these whites (not a majority of whites) actually do believe they are superior to other races. They believe that law and order was put in place -by them - for the specific purpose to keep the ‘You’ and ‘Other’ in their place - somewhere beneath them on a sliding scale. Hence, they are automatically above the law since in their mind that’s why it’s there in the first place.

And the irony being that a lot of those "superior" people at the Capitol were losers, failures, felons, low income, uneducated, in debt.

^...and.....DID NOT VOTE!!

Let’s see if NDP can run this Jan. 6 committee effectively. Since Liz Cheney intrinsically knows how these Thugs roll, may she suggest that the entire inquiry be broadcast on one of the many real-time C-SPAN channels so the real TRUTH would be unveiled. Maybe Liz Cheney can suggest that each participant in the investigation be required to see this NYT Jan. 6 release. Perhaps she could highlight some effective and revealing segments so these Pig liars can be called out.

Unfortunately, I don’t think NDP will have any of this because it would be too rude and graphic. I’ll wager that these hearings will occur behind closed doors with mild quoted bubble text excerpts, along with a still picture next to her face on TV news. That’s what she’s going to do and that’s why nothing will come of this closed-door hearings and none of Dumpsters will pay attention, no public debate will occur in any media and the entire effort to unveil the evil events of Jan. 6, 2021 will fall flat on its face. I’d think McConnell will squeal in delight that he was able to cover all of it out.

The above template is why Dump will get off Scott free.

Good read r66. I thought the same thing, but had the opposite reaction: that’s when I knew McCain had lost his presidential bid.

I meant r68. Please Fuck Me!

R103. quote -“ I had only seen disjointed snippets before this. Also fascinating to see how sparsely the Capitol was guarded and how requested police and army support was ignored (4 times requested by a senior commander).

Question: if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Michael Flynn’s brother Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn was a part of the Army’s response to Capitol riot.

Link again:

cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/michael-flynn-brother-capitol-hill-riot/index.html

Once again.

Even more bad news: This asshat Charles Flynn is still in command of the US Pacific Fleet.

A solid example of how the Biden Admin. is too slow!

Unless there is something specifically tying him back to his brother, getting Charles Flynn will be tough. Army senior brass already lied once he was on the call (he was), so it's not unreasonable to assume they'll continue to cover for him. Plus, there are active members of the military caught on video in the riots. The military has yet to court martial them. Maybe they will, but in the meantime, these guys keep their jobs & paychecks. I don't think you can attribute this lapse to the Biden administration so much as the military unwilling or unable to clean house.

They need to show this in classrooms.

The Rethugs will never allow that, r188.

A pbs special right along side the civil and revolutionary war.

Ken Burns?

Speaking of Qoebert, she's been lying low lately, hasn't she? She used to open her toothed maw all the time to t us to yet another bout of verbal diarrhea. So where's she now? Hiding from the FBI?

It almost worked too. He almost got his way.

If this had been a few years ago, they would have totally pulled this off.

I’m sure the students are outraged.

Is she the GOP rep with the multiple restraining orders against her, R191, or am I confusing her with another scummy Republican? Most of them are so violent and trashy, its difficult to tell them apart.

Anyway, maybe she's havibg to go to meetings with her parole officer or whatever trash like that does.

Bitching about Zuckerberg, r191...

[quote]...some Republicans continuing to suggest the election was stolen and supporting sham efforts to “prove” it, and others playing down the seriousness of the effort to overturn it through violence. McCarthy cannot appoint the “firebrands” without revealing this to be the case all over again. But appointing more sober Republicans will fail to blunt the seriousness of what we learn — while investing the committee’s whole endeavor with an aura of seriousness he cannot afford for it to have.

Disgusting.

Traitors

[quote] On Jan. 7, Liz Cheney, then the number three Republican in the House before her subsequent demotion for recognizing what Romney did not, recalled what had happened on Jan. 6. Talking with Joint Chief of Staff Chair Mark Milley, who is one of the adults in the room who Leonnig and Rucker depend on in their reporting and cast as something of a hero, Cheney ripped into “That fucking guy Jim Jordan. That son of a bitch… While these maniacs are going through the place, I’m standing in the aisle and he said ‘We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you.’ I smacked his hand away and told him, ‘Get away from me. You fucking did this.’”

Woah, R201. God, to have video of that Cheney-Jordan exchange.

January 6th, The Big Lie, and voter suppression. It's like Dawn of the Dead in America.

From the article posed in R21

"In his I Alone exit interview, the 45th president goes from trashing Doctors Anthony Fauci (“a highly overrated person”) and Deborah Birx (“A real diva with the scarves and shit”)"

Trump is funny. It's the stopped watch being correct. On DL we had the same fun with DIVA Dr Birx. Trump punches below he belt. I think Fauci fucked up and was too much a toady. Biden should get rid of him when it's convenient.

If you can, read all of the George Conway tweets embedded in this.

TFG is GAF

As I sort of said at R74...

I would really like service that Fanone cop. The neck tattoo notwithstanding. I find him incredibly hot. Even with the hick accent.

Thanks, R205. I like reading his tweets. I obviously disagree with him politically, but if Republicans were all like him, we could actually have a government where we respectfully disagree.

Is that a hick accent, R206? I actually thought it was like PA accent.

It sounds hick-ish

When he was fired, the person in charge of that, who made that decision, his commanding officer sent him a letter with more than 20 documented infractions of breaching and breaking with quality. If you are not qualified to be a police department member in Texas how are you qualified to serve on an investigative committee, where you could have access to sensitive and classified information about a domestic terrorist event in the United States of America?”

Nice euphemism.

Newmax screen grabs are so creepy. From the scary woman presenter on the right (Is she Russian?) to the screen crawl lie claiming Democrats want state control of the media. That the two ghouls Gaetz and Taylor want to host “America First” rallies, echoing the 1940s is creepy. Total propaganda and right wing media is why this country is so fucked up today.

Foxnews is criminal

I think the guy in the Newsmax clip is wearing the most makeup of the three.

[quote] Another key element of the GOP's attack plan will be to highlight political violence on the left, including last summer's protests in response to police brutality. That was a point of contention during negotiations on a proposed bipartisan commission to probe the insurrection, with Republicans demanding that any independent body include that subject area in its scope.

[quote] "The Democrats in the summer of 2020 normalized anarchy, they normalized rioting and looting," Jordan said. "So I think that's an important element that we'll have to point out."

Insane

There's no comparison between a violent invasion of the seat of government, instigated by the president in order to subvert the vote and keep power, and run-of-the-mill looting after police violence—most of it exaggerated by the conservative press and some of it actually carried out by right-wingers pretending to be protesters.

not to mention the "two wrongs must make a right" fallacy.

Clearly the repigs want to drag the whole thing into "what about is-isms" which are standard right wing talking points; if things get off course & they go there, the Dems have lost the argument. The committee needs a narrow, tight focus.

Letting blowhard Gym be on that committee would be a mistake then, R229.

I don't disagree that the sole purpose of Gym & the other retards appointed to the committee is to shit all over everything, like monkeys throwing poo in their cages - it just seems unavoidable. But I don't think that means the hearings will be a 3 ring circus, it just requires a tighter focus & a better strategy from the dems.

Is there anything more destructive and un-American than the Republican Party? Disgusting. This country is doomed unfortunately.

Banks and Jordan have both spoken publicly about their intent to derail the commission. The others have NOT.

The remaining Republicans are:

Reps. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND)--Did vote to certify Joe Biden

Rodney Davis (R-IL)--DID vote to certify Joe Biden

Troy Nehls (R-TX) --Challenged certification of AZ & PA/Signed on to Texas lawsuit

They live under the belief that they actually "are America," and that they are entitled to America, and anyone else is trying to take away what they believe they "won" centuries ago, and are now entitled to. This is the deeply flawed basis of their thinking.

These idiots showed up thinking that "antifa" was going to counter protest?

Then they could start a gunfight? Then set off their pre-planted bombs this giving the orange traitor an excuse to declare martial law?

Pics please.

GOP Congress members are CUNTS

[quote] Then, to prove his point about preparation, he revealed a new detail to me: that because of a tip he’d received about potential violence, he’d been wearing body armor at the very same Ellipse speech in which he encouraged rally attendees to “start taking down names and kicking ass.”

[quote] “I was warned on Monday that there might be risks associated with the next few days,” he said. “And as a consequence of those warnings, I did not go to my condo. Instead, I slept on the floor of my office. And when I gave my speech at the Ellipse, I was wearing body armor.

[quote] “That’s why I was wearing that nice little windbreaker,” he told me with a grin. “To cover up the body armor.”

[quote] He didn’t say who warned him, or what the “risk” was that he’d been warned about. There were probably a “half-dozen different motivations that affected people in varying degrees” to engage in insurrection. He named, for example, “financial losses suffered because of the government’s reaction to COVID-19,” “the belief that there was significant voter fraud and election theft activity,” or “a great love and respect for President Trump.”

[quote] But if he was so sure the mob would understand the peaceful intent of his words, why’d he need the Kevlar?

I want you to imagine AOC, Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib saying the things Mo Brooks was saying and tell me what the reaction would be from both sides. Then tell me white privilege doesn't exist.

Don’t care, the insurrectionists are criminals

I posted this earlier in the thread but I'm STILL shocked by the size of that crowd. FUCK that was A LOT of people.

[quote]I want you to imagine AOC, Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib

Oh, most definitely; the Facebook Fraus practically froth when anger even when they express some benign opinion like "childcare should be affordable" (or some travesty like that). It's a combination of white privilege and people - even other women - who cannot abide a woman with some power & influence.

r302? it was massive, and insurrection, not just a riot

R304 Who the FUCK said it was "Just a riot"?

no one

The Justice Department Is Struggling To Bring Capitol Riot Cases To Trial: Here's Why

[quote] "The evidence is significantly more complicated for them than they thought it was going to be, that's clear," Greg Hunter, a defense attorney who is working on a dozen Jan. 6 cases, told NPR. "Every one of those people was carrying a smartphone, every one of them, and they're all taking pictures and videos and all that evidence has actually slowed everything down."

[quote] Twenty-five people have pleaded guilty so far, which leaves a good 550 more cases left to resolve. To try to understand why all this is moving so slowly, NPR spent months speaking with dozens of Jan. 6 defense attorneys, prosecutors and defendants, both on and off the record.

[quote] What our reporting found was that the mountain of evidence is not the only reason why justice appears to be slow. Officials are also having trouble just finding prosecutors to assign to the cases, and some of those prosecutors said officials at headquarters are micromanaging the process, which is hobbling progress as well.

...

[quote] The Justice Department has created a kind of framework for prosecutions, dividing the Jan. 6 defendants into three categories. The first includes people such as Ianni who went inside the Capitol and allegedly walked around but aren't charged with property damage or assaulting police.

[quote] The second category of defendants includes those who broke into the Capitol, damaged property and attempted to stop the certification of the 2020 election. They are facing charges of civil disorder and assault and include people such as Tampa, Fla., crane operator Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38. He was seen carrying a red-and-white "Trump 2020" flag into the well of the Senate, while others stood over the vice president's abandoned chair.

[quote] And finally there is a category that prosecutors have yet to define precisely. These are the people investigators believe are connected to right-wing extremist groups such as the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. Officials are investigating whether or not there is hard evidence that shows the assault was planned in advance. Illuminating that would go a long way toward clarifying what actually took place that day.

...

[quote] Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security in the Obama administration, said the Justice Department has decided to play hardball with Jan. 6 defendants — hoping to prevent future attacks. It has opted for a legal strategy in the mold of shock and awe: Arrest everyone, charge everyone.

[quote] "You start with the FBI and the investigations that are going on, and you keep them coming," she said. "And every jurisdiction has these cases, and if I sound harsh, good, because this was an attempt to undermine a valid American election."

A loving crowd at the rally. Patriots! Fine people!

Then the antifa and cosplayers, crisis actors and commie pinko fags, showed up to make Republicans look bad. Paid for by Hugo Chávez and George Soros and Jane Fonda!

[quote] Who the FUCK said it was "Just a riot"?

The National Review, R305.

ugh!

Oh god, the “they were too dumb” defense again. The same one they used to weasel out of the coordination with Russia charges (which were totally true).

fuck them

Schwarzman, Schwab, Koch, Ken Kendrick, Palmer Luckey, Julie Jenkins Fancelli...

(28 of the) usual suspects..

More new footage

Glad Lincoln project is still out there

holy shit, that's horrible

The last time one of them killed themselves, Trumpers on Facebook were accusing Pelosi of having him murdered in his home and covered up so it looked like a suicide. I asked one of the morons, "Why would Nancy do that?" No answer.

I feel terrible for Officer Hashida, his family and for the rest of the Capitol Police force. Realizing half of the people who you could have very easily died protecting on 6 January continue to sell you out for $$ and at the behest of a demented orange lard has to be depressing AF.

more dead

[quote] A right-wing New Jersey gym owner with a brother who was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail will plead guilty in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, his attorney told HuffPost on Tuesday.

This is why I want to punch people who think we don't need CRT or try and pretend minorities aren't systematically targeted by law enforcement.

The Fraternal Order of Police and countless Police Unions were really quick to endorse Trump (a fucking CROOK), they were sure as hell quick with the Blue Lives Matter crap, but dead silence about this. I guess Blues Lives only matter when they're beating the shit out of black and brown people calling them out for precisely what they've proven to be: A racist, corrupt bunch of assholes.
