Everyday Treasoning: American Idiot (The Treason Thread, Part 44)

Link to previous thread for reference:

Thanks, OP!

Finally! LOL

One of my friend quit being a staffer. It was too dangerous. She said things are tense in the House. It’s ugly. She feels one of the republicans are going to do something violent. She definitely feels an attack from domestic terrorists is coming. She is now working as a staffer at the state level.

Madison Cawthorn and literary scholar are terms that don't belong together.

Part #44 and Trump is still a free man. Depressing.

R5 Just remember to go after a former president you better have the tightest case. If they were to go for it and he got off it would be a disaster. It has only been 7 months. Someone will get him for his crimes.

I hope someone puts the putrid Fuhrer behind bars on strong evidence of a crime. Either that or maybe the Big Macs do the work for us.

R7 He seems to have longevity in his family. I suspect he is easily used by smarter people. They know he has a capacity for entertainment which they exploited push their insidious agenda. IOW he’s a useful idiot.

^ exploited to push

As a non-political sort of person I have always found idiots to be useless.

His name is “Madison”. That is all.

[quote] His name is “Madison”. That is all.

Actually, his name is David.

"Mo" Brooks from the district that includes Huntsville

GQP (Russian Assets Party) politicians are despicable as ever.

Is Miss Lindzey going to denounce him on Twitter or Hannity? Nope.

Mo Brooks; another elected public servant from a place nobody wants to live, whose loud minority is ruining everything.

[quote] "Making a statement that casts blame on a racial or ethnic minority for the spread of disease is a well-known racist trope that predates most of us [...] there’s just no room for misinterpretation."

Remind me again why the voting bills are about "integrity"...

You can BE racist in public, but you can't discuss racism because it makes the racists feel bad.

Matt Gaetz Likely Broke Congressional Rules By Omitting Income From Disclosure Form

For anyone here who has even a shred of respect left for Jeffrey Toobin:

Maddie is losing his looks. Pity.

"For anyone here who has even a shred of respect left for Jeffrey Toobin"

...crickets

CNN kept Toobin. While Toobin was placed on leave, he must have turned MAGA. Embarrassment from being exposed for masturbating on Zoom must have caused that.

Trump has violated federal and state laws on numerous occasions over the years. Regardless what he does, he gets away with it. Defenders of Trump, such as Toobin, are aways out there.

I can’t listen to Toobin what’s his argument against prosecution?

Speaking of Mo Brooks, the running joke in the House is how the Dems actually like living in the places they represent.

Anybody know how reliable a source Eric Garland is? The information in his twitter feed, if true, is really some fucked up shit! We're in deep trouble if true.

(Supposedly, this is the intel Elijah Cummings was sitting on and wanted released to the public)

Gym "I didn't see or hear anything" He "struggles" remembering a Jan. 6 phone call with Trump? Poor thang, the dementia is moving fast.

Scandalous Lauren Boebert:

Tommy Tuberville and Mo Brooks are speak at Trump's upcoming Saturday rally in Cullmam, AL.

One can't say Trump is resorting to intellectual scholars now.

^speakers

Are the sonic wave attacks being orchestrated by Russia?

Just like the Kurds, the Trump Administration wanted to fuck our Afghan allies.

Leave the brown people behind.

Stephen Miller, evil incarnate.

Miller hated brown people EVERYWHERE.

[Also, who fucked Hope Hicks and when did Trump know? ]

Trump's appearance in Cullman, AL this evening should be a real laff-riot. It will be about 100 degrees there today, and will still be plenty "warm" when the bloated old gasbag takes the stage (7 pm CT). The Cullman area of AL is accurately described with one of Shitler's more enduring epithets, it's a true shithole of a place. The inhabitants are grotesque troglodytes, mouth-breathing ignoramuses who would joyfully belong to the KKK. The redneck who was arrested at the Capitol on 1/6 with a black pickup truck full of explosives and guns is one of Cullman's most prominent citizens nowadays. I don't believe Lonnie Coffman will be able to introduce Trump onto the stage, as the planners had hoped, because he is unfortunately still in jail, having been denied bond by the Court, and is facing a plea date (and a guilty plea offer) set for mid-September. It's a shame, really. I'm sure his remarks would have been inspiring.

Trump Admin Deliberately Sabotaged Refugee Process, Stranding Afghan Allies: Former Insiders

Just like he fucked the Kurds, r33.

Stephen Miller always fucks the brown people.

Stephen Miller is a war criminal.

He absolutely is, r34.

R32, I hope his makeup melts off his face in the heat

Some very specific instructions for R32:

No balls?

It's Drumpf and his supporters, so yeah: no balls.

R37, how dare they tell me to leave my mace, explosives, and toasters at home!!!

This is an assault on my FREEDOM!!

Oh my god that was close, the list says "coolers", not "crullers." I have a huge sackful of delicious crullers I'm planning to take to the rally for everyone. Whew... -R32

And R40, CALM DOWN, there is a simple solution to your problem: make your toast at home, and then sprinkle the mace on it THERE, before you head up on Highway 65. You're not from Nashville are you, cuz if you are, you'll be traveling SOUTH. Just making sure.

And your balls, r40, leave your balls at home. Who do they think you are...MTG?

Ditto.

It looks like somebody went shopping at The Four Seasons.

Insane.

[quote] A couple who appeared to be in their late 30s sat at a distance from me and asked if I was with “the really elderly lady” they saw being wheeled into one of the department’s private rooms. I said they probably were speaking about my mother. I expected to hear a perfunctory “sorry to hear your mom is sick” sort of response. Oh no.

[quote] I soon was subjected to something between a diatribe and a cri de coeur about their presence at the hospital, that being because the man’s sister was in with a very serious case of COVID-19. And that her illness shouldn’t have happened at all because she was healthier “than most fat Americans, because she is a competitive athlete.” They added that she shouldn’t have needed any vaccines because vaccines (allegedly) are tools of Big Corporate Healthcare, and that “if someone we could believe had only told us” the virus could sicken “really athletic people like us,” well, they could have tried homeopathy.

[quote] ...I asked if they decided the prep their sister was undergoing for a very invasive ventilator was worth their anti-vaccination position. The woman said, “Well, I guess we’re going to have to get vaccinated now. But we still don’t believe in it.” The man then asked if I felt “justified” in having my mother take up “valuable medical resources” when “people like my sister who have more of a right to live are in the hospital.”

...

[quote] ... I also said their sister’s medical resource-intensive hospitalization was, to be blunt, almost certainly avoidable. Then I thought about how many other similar discussions might be going on outside hospitals at that very moment, given reports about non-urgent treatments and surgeries being postponed due to the variant’s surge.

[quote] The man glared at me awhile and said, “You might be right. We’re just angry. Life isn’t supposed to be this hard.”

Matt Gaetz married!

Gaetz got married as a sham for obvious reasons.

Was Nestor the flower girl?

R54, Nestor was there. From r52:

[quote]and Nestor Galban, Gaetz’s adopted son, represented the family.

Things I chose to believe:

1) This "marriage" is either for public sympathy or so she can't testify against him

2) Nestor is Matt's biological son who was born when Matt was 19 and Nestor's "sister" (who is Nestor's real mother) was 14.

R56, Nestor is not ugly. He cannot be Matt’s biological son.

At least Gaetz will be able to claim conjugal visits.

Wedding pic.

Republicans Are Getting Sick of Matt Gaetz

madison cawthorne , the boebert bitch and marjorie taylor green are so proud of their ignorance. They wear it like a badge of honor

It really is a race to the bottom with these clowns

Isn’t that whole "a wife can’t testify against her husband" just a myth? I remember hearing about it for the first time on Murder One (remember that show?) and then The Sopranos debunking it years later.

I think it's that they can't be compelled to testify but if they want to, they can. Maybe that varies state to state. It's an absolutely ridiculous practice.

R62, the (accurate) point about The Sopranos episode is that the privilege can’t prevent disclosure of anything that happened prior to marriage.

Angela Graham-West, wife of GOP gubernatorial candidate Allen West, was arrested by Dallas Police Friday night for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

[quote] The wife of Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Allen West was arrested in Dallas County for allegedly driving while intoxicated Friday night, according to the Dallas Police Department and West himself.

[quote] Angela Graham-West, 61, was driving home from dinner at P.F. Changs with her 3-month-old grandson when she was pulled over and arrested for a suspected DWI. She was charged with driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old.

[quote] Graham-West was released from jail around 1 p.m. Saturday, according to West, who posted a video on Instagram early Saturday morning from the Dallas County jail. In the video, West angrily denied his wife had been drinking.

[quote] “I support the thin blue line, but this is insidious,” West said. “They put my grandson at risk, at jeopardy, left him with a couple of police officers and carted his grandmother to jail and she had water and lemonade. … I’m beyond livid.”

[quote] Dallas police said in a statement to the Tribune that they stopped Graham-West in the 2300 block of West Northwest Highway at 8:44 p.m. and that the officer “had reasons to believe the driver may be intoxicated.”

[quote] Police said Graham-West went through a field sobriety test, “which subsequently led to her arrest for DWI.”

[bold] The Quinnipiac poll finds: [/bold]

A plurality of Florida residents believe DeSantis is hurting efforts to slow the spread of covid-19 in the state, 46 percent to 41 percent. 73 percent think the spread of covid in the state is a serious problem, 59 percent say the spread is out of control, and 61 percent say it was preventable.

60 percent support requiring students, teachers and staff to wear masks in schools, while only 36 percent oppose it. And by 54 percent to 44 percent, Floridians say schools, not parents, should make the decision on masks for kids.

59 percent support requiring mask-wearing in indoor spaces, while only 39 percent oppose it.

63 percent say the issue of wearing masks is primarily about public health, while only 33 percent say it’s about personal freedom. Meanwhile, 64 percent say they’re effective in slowing covid spread.

68 percent say local officials should generally be able to require masks in indoor public spaces.

R76 DeathSantis is actively killing his citizens yet the US media harps nonstop on Afghanistan. How many have died in Afghanistan vs Florida in the last month?

2 Congress members fly to Kabul amid chaotic evacuation

[quote] WASHINGTON (AP) — Two members of Congress flew unannounced into Kabul airport in the middle of the ongoing chaotic evacuation Tuesday, stunning State Department and U.S. military personnel who had to divert resources to provide security and information to the lawmakers, U.S. officials said.

[quote] Officials said Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., and Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., flew in on a charter aircraft and were on the ground at the Kabul airport for several hours. Officials said the two men were flying out of Kabul on another charter aircraft, prompting officials to complain that they were taking seats that could have gone to other Americans or Afghans fleeing the country.

[quote] Two officials familiar with the flight said that State Department, Defense Department and White House officials were furious about the incident because it was done without coordination with diplomats or military commanders directing the evacuation.

[quote] The U.S. military found out about the visit as the legislators’ aircraft was inbound to Kabul, according to the officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.

[quote] The Associated Press reached out to the offices of Moulton and Meijer but did not receive any immediate comment. Moulton served in the Marine Corps.

[quote] One senior U.S. official said the administration saw the lawmakers’ visit as manifestly unhelpful and other officials said the visit was viewed as a distraction for troops and commanders at the airport who are waging a race against time to evacuate thousands of Americans, at-risk Afghans and others as quickly as possible.

[quote] The Pentagon has repeatedly expressed concerns about security threats in Kabul, including by the Islamic State group. When members of Congress have routinely gone to war zones over the past two decades, their visits are typically long planned and coordinated with officials on the ground in order to ensure their safety.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he is sticking to his Aug. 31 deadline for completing the risky airlift as people flee Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. He said a key reason for the deadline is the ongoing IS threat targeting the airport. The Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate is known for staging suicide attacks on civilians.

[quote] WINTER GARDEN, Fla. (WESH) — At West Side Crematory in Winter Garden, they’re overwhelmed with the remains of people that need to be cremated.

[quote] WESH 2 called 20 funeral homes and crematories and many were too busy to be part of our story. Some were too busy to even talk on the phone. One funeral director said that in a 30-minute period where he talked to his partner, four new cases came in.

A Los Angeles City Fire Department captain who railed against the city, the department and his own union leaders over an imminent vaccine mandate for all city workers is under an internal investigation.

[quote] Wearing an LAFD hat and LA City Fire Department T-shirt, in what appears to be a fire station, Granucci acknowledged he will likely "catch total grief" for stating his opinions then proceeded to accuse union officials of sitting on their hands as the "mandate came to Los Angeles." He also complained that union leaders abandoned their responsibilities "to protect the little guy," opting instead "to play politics with this."

[quote] The purpose of the video, he said, was to offer a warning of the act-now-or-else variety.

[quote] "I am putting my administration and my union on blast," Granucci said, pointing a finger into the camera. "There is a large group of us, in the hundreds, and we have an attorney on retainer and he is a shark."

[quote] Granucci alludes to a vaccine divide. Nearly half of LAFD firefighters are not vaccinated As of Tuesday, it appears the original video has been taken down, but a reposted version of Granucci's monologue has been seen more than 64,000 times.

[quote] LAFD spokeswoman Cheryl Getuiza confirmed that the department became aware of the video on Monday. It has since launched an internal personnel investigation into the captain, and she said he may face disciplinary action.

[quote] "While we respect the individual's right to his opinion, he is not authorized to speak on behalf of the Department," Getuiza said by email. "The individual is in uniform and appears to be on duty, thereby giving the impression that he is speaking in an official capacity."

Uh, hello! You're a cop, it's your job to ostensibly serve the public

He's a fireperson, r99.

Well, firemen serve the public, too

Graphic bodycam video kept secret for 2 years shows a Louisiana trooper pummeling a Black motorist with a flashlight as he screams "I'm not resisting" — leaving him with a broken jaw, wrist and ribs.

Police didn't investigate the attack for 536 days.

[quote] Bowman's encounter near his Monroe home came less than three weeks after troopers from the same embattled agency punched, stunned and dragged another Black motorist, Ronald Greene, before he died in police custody on a rural roadside in northeast Louisiana. Video of Greene's death similarly remained under wraps before AP obtained and published it earlier this year.

[quote] Federal prosecutors are examining both cases in a widening investigation into police brutality and potential cover-ups involving both troopers and state police brass.

[quote] State police didn't investigate the attack on Bowman until 536 days after it occurred — even though it was captured on body camera — and only did so weeks after Bowman brought a civil lawsuit.

^ That's horrible

Really sick of all the cops, firemen, healthcare workers, etc. who won't get vaccinated

R102 Police are really out of control. They’re full of white supremacists and toxic personality types. The good ones have very little power to stop them or else face swift retaliation and intimidation.

So glad to see you still posting, FCI!

I didn't know if you'd be able to since this thread is (inexplicably) ALREADY greyed out.

R106 It is greyed out because this is the thread even the trolls stay away from. They can’t handle it. I post more than it seems I just forget to sign my name a lot.

On the surface, this seems like just a "fun" reader poll.

Tom Cotton working double time to get publicity RE his take on Afghanistan.

Cotton is on Armed Services Committee. There have been 2 (public) hearings solely about Afghanistan since January 2020. Cotton attended neither of them. No one in media has mentioned that.

May 20, 2021: Hearing - The transition of all United States and Coalition forces from Afghanistan and its Implications

Cotton did not attend. Gosh. Ya think maybe someone who has so much to say now shoulda shown up for that one?

February 11, 2020: Hearing - United States Strategy in Afghanistan

Cotton didn't attend this hearing either.

[quote]US District Judge Linda Parker, of the Eastern District of Michigan, said the lawyers had "engaged in litigation practices" that were "abusive and, in turn, sanctionable." "Sanctions are required to deter the filing of future frivolous lawsuits designed primarily to spread the narrative that our election processes are rigged and our democratic institutions cannot be trusted," the judge wrote in a 110-page opinion.

Can't Powell & Wood do something new and useful, such as pushing for Ivermectin to be made available to Bigfoot and Skunk Apes?

[quote] The unions representing law enforcement officials are, by and large, defending their members’ refusal to comply with lawful vaccination orders. Not because these unions are unaware of covid-19’s risks to the police or the public; in fact, the national Fraternal Order of Police reports that the virus has claimed the lives of 531 law enforcement officers around the country. Over the first six months of 2021 — that is, before the recent delta-driven surge in infections — covid-19 remained the single highest cause of law enforcement deaths, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

...

[quote] It’s not clear whether threats to resign — expressed by individual officers or union leadership — should be taken at face value. After all, many cops would lose seniority and retirement benefits if they quit early. But let’s assume they’re not bluffing.

[quote] So what? Let them quit.

[quote] We need better ways to screen out the officers who don’t feel the law applies to them; who are inclined to put their own whims ahead of public safety; and who are likely to take unnecessary risks or reject evidence-based policing measures in favor of whatever their gut tells them to do. The response to this eminently reasonable public health requirement, not so different from other health and fitness requirements that have long been imposed upon officers, is probably a decent filtering mechanism. If some police officers want to defund themselves, by all means let them. Let the bad cops go, and replace them with officers actually committed to the noble mission to protect and serve.

New Documents Prove Trump Lied To Investigators About Donation To Florida Attorney General

REFILE ON THE CUNT!

Bribery, corruption, LIES!

R141 Historically, we all know it is likely they take the House in the midterms. I think redistricting is going to be tricky for republicans. Most of the population gains in red states came in urban areas. It is not a given they can squeeze out enough non-competitive districts to make it a forgone conclusion they take the House. All elections since Pres Bone Spurs was elected have seen 20-30 point swings to Dems when he is not on the ballot.

Yes, if they do they will impeach President Biden over something unless they have enough reps in close districts.

Tucker Carlson’s Ugly Feud With Eric Swalwell Has Sucked in Family

Several days before Breitbart News ran a story alleging a sexual affair between Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell and a Chinese spy, the congressman’s top aide received an unusual email from a fellow Hill staffer.

It was Buckley Carlson, a communications director for up-and-coming Republican Rep. Jim Banks and son of Tucker Carlson, arguably the most powerful person in right-wing media and one of Swalwell’s biggest antagonists.

According to Swalwell communications director Jessica Gail, Buckley was reeling from the fact that the congressman had just days earlier referenced him in a tweet bashing his Fox News host father. As a consequence, Gail said, Buckley (not to be confused with Tucker’s brother Buckley Carlson) intimated to her that he was working with a news outlet to push a story on an alleged tryst between Swalwell, who is married with children, and a Chinese infiltrator.

Several days later, a Breitbart article featuring the allegations received extensive coverage on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News primetime program, including a photoshopped graphic of Swalwell in bed with the suspected spy.

[…]

“Father and son are certainly allowed to talk about who they perceive as a common enemy,” Swalwell said before suggesting a connection between the Carlsons and the Breitbart article. “But when the son works for the House of Representatives and is doing his father’s bidding on official House email and at his desk on his official phone, that crosses the line. The House of Representatives is not supposed to be air support for Fox News.”

[…]

Republican press aides are well aware of how frequently Banks appears on his employee’s father’s very influential TV program. Just this week, Banks appeared on Carlson’s show to discuss how Republicans “have a duty” to punish GOP members investigating the Jan. 6 riots. “The amount that Tucker carries Banks’ water is not lost on anyone on the Republican side of the Hill,” said one GOP aide.

Translation: when Rethugs are being investigated and don't want the truth to come out. It's contrarily known as "doing the work of the American people" when Democrats are being investigated.

"Should Biden step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan? Yes," she tweeted. "But that would leave us with Kamala Harris which would be ten times worse. God help us."

Poor little Nimrata Haley will never be the first woman or first person of SE Asian descent in the executive branch. Sorry, you little backwards, Trump-sucking bitch.

[quote] A Butler County judge ruled in favor of a woman last week who sought to force a hospital to administer Ivermectin — an animal dewormer that federal regulators have warned against using in COVID-19 patients — to her husband after several weeks in the ICU with the disease.

[quote] Butler County Common Pleas Judge Gregory Howard ordered West Chester Hospital, part of the University of Cincinnati network, to treat Jeffrey Smith, 51, with Ivermectin. The order, filed Aug. 23, compels the hospital to provide Smith with 30mg of Ivermectin daily for three weeks.

[quote] Julie Smith found Ivermectin on her own and connected with Dr. Fred Wagshul, an Ohio physician who her lawsuit identifies as “one of the foremost experts on using Ivermectin in treating COVID-19.” He prescribed the drug, and the hospital refused to administer it.

Peter Sagal: This is a good explainer of Texas's anti-abortion law, SB 8, why it's so hard to stop, and why the Supreme Court probably won't.

[quote] SB 8 is unique: It empowers private citizens, not government officials, to enforce it. The measure allows any random stranger to bring a lawsuit in state court against any individual who “aids or abets” an abortion in Texas after six weeks. Anyone in the country may file such a suit against abortion “abettors” in any state court within Texas. If the plaintiff wins, they collect a minimum of $10,000 plus attorneys’ fees. And if they win a case against an abortion provider, the court must shut down that clinic. If the provider somehow prevails, they collect nothing, not even attorneys’ fees.

[Quote] Texas Republicans devised this convoluted system in order to prevent federal courts from blocking the law—and so far, they’ve succeeded: On Friday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals abruptly canceled a trial judge’s hearing on SB 8’s constitutionality, effectively allowing the law to take effect in two days, on Sept. 1. This aggressive intervention forced abortion providers to do what seems almost unthinkable: Ask the U.S. Supreme Court—the same court that agreed to hear a direct challenge to Roe v Wade only a few months back—for an injunction in an emergency filing on Monday. Their plea raises the inevitably bleak question: Will the conservative justices who control a 6–3 majority of the Supreme Court let Texas overturn Roe v. Wade before they have a chance to themselves?

[quote] If SCOTUS does allow SB 8 to take effect, it will be open season on Texas’ abortion providers. Anyone, anywhere, can sue an “abettor” of any abortion that takes place after six weeks in Texas.

[quote] One little-mentioned provision of SB 8 also triggers the mandatory closure of abortion clinics in Texas. When a plaintiff wins a suit against an abortion provider, they get more than just monetary damages: The state court is legally obligated to shutter the provider, as well. Thus, if SB 8 takes effect, it will not take long for state courts to end all legal abortion services in Texas.

DOJ Must Prosecute Trump Or Else Nothing Matters Anymore

Dude is on his third or fourth wife and only ran for office because no more police departments would hire him anymore wants to talk tough with "alternative facts"

Ted Lieu bringing McCarthy the receipts:

The call to the U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan came in Monday. On the line, two U.S. officials said, was Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) with an unusual and urgent request: He needed assistance in transporting a huge amount of cash into the country, saying he was going to neighboring Afghanistan to rescue five American citizens, a woman and her four children, stuck in the country. They planned to hire a helicopter for the effort.

Mullin told the embassy that he planned to fly from Tblisi, Georgia, into Tajikistan’s capital, Dushanbe, in the next few hours and needed the top diplomat’s help, according to the two U.S. officials familiar with the incident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations about a sensitive matter.

The answer was no. Embassy officials told Mullin they could not assist him in skirting Tajikistan’s laws on cash limits on his way to visiting one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Mullin was outraged by the response, the officials said — threatening U.S. ambassador John Mark Pommersheim and embassy staff and demanding to know the name of staff members he was speaking with.

The episode marked Mullin’s second attempt to travel to Afghanistan in as many weeks for an unauthorized evacuation effort despite the perilous security environment. Last week, Mullin traveled to Greece and asked the Department of Defense for permission to visit Kabul. The Pentagon denied Mullin’s request, an administration official said.

Mullin’s behavior has alarmed top U.S. officials who say he has gone to extraordinary lengths to defy U.S. warnings. The attempt follows an unauthorized trip to Afghanistan by Reps. Seth Moulton (D-Mass) and Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) last week, which Pentagon and State Department officials criticized as a public relations stunt that sapped government resources during a national-security crisis.

As of late Tuesday, U.S. officials said they were unsure of Mullin’s location. Mullin’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment. “To say this is extremely dangerous is a massive understatement,” said a State Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive situation.

The remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan left on Monday, bringing an end to America’s longest war. The U.S. military helped evacuate more than 120,000 people, including U.S. citizens, allies and at-risk Afghans. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that fewer than 200 American citizens remain in Afghanistan. The department suspended embassy operations and relocated its mission to Qatar, where diplomats are trying to find ways for the remaining Americans and at-risk Afghans in the country to leave.

Mullin, 44, grew up in Stilwell, Okla., where he was a standout wrestler and earned a scholarship to Missouri Valley College. Injuries derailed his athletic career, and at age 20, he took over his father’s plumbing business. He was also briefly a professional mixed martial arts fighter, and after being elected to Congress in 2012, he became known on the Hill for leading intense workout classes. A member of the conservative Republican Study Committee, Mullin voted against the certification of the 2020 election results.

On Tuesday, McCarthy went silent and walked away after being asked if he had spoken to Mullin or if he knew where the Oklahoman was.

Trump Fraud Lawyer Collapses Under Basic Questioning

You all know I am never an alarmist. I keep it positive.

So here it goes: Be worried. We must give everything we have in 2022. Most of these insane loudmouths showing up at city hall/school boards are in a tiny minority. They want us to believe they are the vast majority and “civil war” is coming with MAGA alpha males shooting their way to freedom. The reality is they are weak, beta males who bellow and bray but are scared little pups. (They’d lose a civil war worse than last time). However, if republicans get control of the House that will give this minority real power. The crop of wanna be representatives on that side are so extreme. The next year and change will determine it all IMO. We are being attacked domestically and by foreign actors on all sides who see us unraveling. The top grade propaganda being unleashed on us is something I never thought I’d see. Our media is not able to counter it. If those loud, insane beta pups are given power there will be violence. Members of Congress, staff, and everyone in between have a deep fear. They have a fear I have never seen.

I’m not sure how to put a lot of this into cogent words. I’m much better getting my point across conversationally when I’m angry. Understand most of these jackasses are weak right now. I don’t see violence until they have power. Fight and vote. Don’t give an inch. Don’t back down. DL is being inundated with propaganda lately.

I think we’ll win in the end. I think 2022 is going to surprise us in pleasant ways. Anecdotally, I feel there are a lot of average/non-voters who are horrified at what they’ve seen republicans turn into. I think they’ll turn out huge for us.

Democrats need to take the offensive. Relying fundamentally on identity politics with a fickle and a too unmotivated base, alone, will not be sufficient enough to counter the GQP's wicked and aggressive tactics.

“He [Trump] rebuilt the military,” Graham said. “Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it’s Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault, here’s where we’re at as a world. The Taliban are not reformed, they’re not new. They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times.”

“But most importantly, they’re going to give safe haven to Al Qaeda who has ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East writ large,” he continued. “We will be going back into Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria.”

Wren was listed as a “VIP Advisor” on the permit granted by the National Park Service for the Jan. 6 rally.  Megan Powers, one of two operations managers listed on the rally permit, is not listed in the House request but was paid around $300,000 as the Trump campaign’s director of operations. And Make America Great Again PAC paid around $20,000 more to Powers for “recount administrative consulting” in 2021. None of the other former Trump campaign officials listed on the permit for the rally on Jan. 6 are listed in the initial requests.  The House select committee did request records related to Women for Trump initiative co-chair  Gina Loudon, who spoke at the rally. The committee also requested records related to Amy Kremer, who notably co-founded Women for America First, the 501(c)(4) nonprofit “dark money” group that submitted the rally’s permit records to the National Park Service. The select committee also requested letters related to Dustin Stockton, a co-organizer of the rally. Stockton was also a spokesperson for WeBuildtheWall when former White House strategist Steve Bannon and three others affiliated with the dark money group were charged with fraud related to the online fundraising effort. Stockton was not charged and records related to Bannon were requested by the House select committee."

He just hasn't started yet! Of course, one might wonder why, if he knows how to eliminate rape, he hasn't done so before now. He's been in office since 2015.

R352, you also have to wonder how he's going to eliminate them BEFORE they rape, which seems to be the premise of his answer.

R359, that right there is what is wrong with fundamentalist Christians. They have no sense of personal responsibility or guilt. It's all up to God, nothing is their problem, God will forgive them anyway, blah, blah, blah.

More about it

Pssst!

Hundreds of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies said they have been recruited to join secretive, sometimes gang-like cliques that operate within department stations, according to the findings of a survey by independent researchers.

The anticipated study into the problematic fraternities — which L.A. County officials commissioned the Rand Corp. to conduct in 2019 — found 16% of the 1,608 deputies and supervisors who anonymously answered survey questions had been invited to join a clique, with some invitations having come in the past five years.

All of the roughly 10,000 sworn personnel in the department received a survey, and participation was voluntary. The report also includes interviews with a few dozen sheriff’s and county officials, and 140 community leaders and members of the public were also interviewed.

The study concluded that the groups, which have existed for decades in the Sheriff’s Department and have been criticized for glorifying an aggressive style of policing, are more likely to form at “fast” stations — ones that patrol areas with higher levels of violent crime — and are divisive within the Sheriff’s Department. The researchers did not ask deputies whether they’d ever belonged to a clique.

"Clique" is a nice way of saying "gang"

It looks like a handful of people at that rally, r421. There couldn’t have been more than a couple of hundred. And typical for Dump supporters, they had to bring chairs to sit in.

Melania wasn't lying when she wore that coat - she really doesn't care:

At 1:25 p.m. on Jan. 6, soon after rioters had broken through barricades outside of the Capitol, MELANIA TRUMP received a text message from her then-chief of staff, STEPHANIE GRISHAM.

“Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?” Grisham asked the first lady. A minute later, Melania replied with a one-word answer: “No.”

To be fair r423, Ms Trump does find answers of more than one word challenging.

Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, deeply shaken by the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, ‘was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.’ Milley worried that Trump could ‘go rogue.'

So Milly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapon.

When Nancy Pelosi called Milly to express concern about Trump and nuclear weapons, she told him, "You know he's crazy. He's been crazy for a long time."

Milley responded, "Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything."

"I can't believe that this many people actually voted to keep him in office," Jenner said. "It's a shame, honestly, it's a shame. You kind of get the government you deserve."

But he made clear that the strain had only grown worse since his impeachment vote, after which he was deluged with threats and feared for the safety of his wife and children.

[quote] Mr. Gonzalez said that quality-of-life issues had been paramount in his decision. He recounted an “eye-opening” moment this year: when he and his family were greeted at the Cleveland airport by two uniformed police officers, part of extra security precautions taken after the impeachment vote. “That’s one of those moments where you say, ‘Is this really what I want for my family when they travel, to have my wife and kids escorted through the airport?’” he said.

[quote] Mr. Gonzalez, who turns 37 on Saturday, was the sort of Republican recruit the party once prized. A Cuban American who starred as an Ohio State wide receiver, he was selected in the first round of the N.F.L. draft and then earned an M.B.A. at Stanford after his football career was cut short by injuries. He claimed his Northeast Ohio seat in his first bid for political office.

[quote] Mr. Gonzalez, a conservative, largely supported the former president’s agenda. Yet he started breaking with Mr. Trump and House Republican leaders when they sought to block the certification of last year’s presidential vote, and he was horrified by Jan. 6 and its implications.

Islamaphobic arc-conservative Laura Loomer caught the 'rona

^^^arch...

My condolences to the coronavirus for catching Laura Loomer

People seriously thought this woman was capable of being vice president?

A married Alabama couple known for their reselling videos on YouTube under the name “Alabama Pickers” have both died of COVID.

Dusty and Tristan Graham lived in Huntsville, where they would often post videos about various tips and tricks to reselling vintage items like clothes and home decor. They sold on eBay under the username, bama4348.

Dusty died Thursday, almost three weeks after his wife did, according to the GoFundMe page set up by one of their children.

“Unfortunately, Dusty and Tristan have both passed away,” Windsor Graham posted on the page. “Thank you all for your kind words and helping us during this difficult time. We will be using the money to pay for funeral expenses.”

One of the last videos the married couple posted on their now deleted YouTube channel was about how they wouldn’t get the vaccine.

It was later reposted on Vaxx Mann’s channel, which is connected to a website titled SORRYANTIVAXXER.COM, dedicated to sharing stories of people who have gotten COVID and died, or came close to dying after sharing their anti-vax beliefs.

“I’ve got my own passport. It’s called the ‘Bill of Rights,’” Dusty said in the video around the 41:30 mark. “I think this will be all behind us in a couple of years.”

Dusty later spelled out the word vaccine and said that it was actually a form of immunity therapy they were giving people.

The pair then talked about everything they had survived already, including bone cancer, in Tristan’s case.

They also talked about COVID and the vaccine at length on their deleted channel.

Tristan died on Aug. 25 in her sleep, according to the GoFundMe page. Two days later, Dusty started a GoFundMe for her expenses on the 27th, while still in the ICU himself.

“Anything you can find in your heart, will be SO APPRECIATED!!” Dusty said on the page.

A week ago, their daughter, Windsor, wrote in a now deleted Facebook post that Dusty was moving to a ventilator and to continue praying for the family.

“I want to thank everybody that reached out to check on my brother and I,” she said. “For now, it’s just waiting and praying his body relaxes.”

The GoFundMe goal is currently $35,000 and just over $20,000 has been raised for the couple. Anybody wishing to donate can do so here.

Justice is subverted when the system tells their friends how to manipulate the law.

At the very least they should be forced to recuse themselves from these types of cases.

In exchange for $50, Kristen Naylor-Legg brought her 17-year-old family member to a community center in June 2020 where a local police chief allegedly raped the girl, federal prosecutors claim.

Naylor-Legg, court documents say, stood by — directing the girl during the alleged rape and providing her with towels to clean up afterward. A West Virginia police chief, who was on duty, according to court documents, allegedly failed to pay the woman the agreed-upon price and left. On Wednesday, Naylor-Legg, 28, pleaded guilty in a West Virginia federal court to one count of conspiracy to sex traffic a minor. She faces up to life in prison at sentencing, which is scheduled for December. Regardless of how much time she gets behind bars, she will have to register as a sex offender.

Her attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

Larry Allen Clay Jr., the now ex-police chief of the small town of Gauley Bridge, is charged with sex trafficking a minor using coercion and conspiracy. Clay, who was 57 at the time of his March arrest, also worked roughly eight years as a Fayette County Sheriff’s deputy.
