GOP Insanity Containment: Beets, Gazpacho, and Lube

Trump isn’t summoning them and won’t be there to fire them up. Even Gohmert sounds unenthusiastic, so this doesn’t seem so worrying but who knows with these jackasses.

Law enforcement in Washington are steeling themselves against possible unrest at a rally planned for September 18, referred to as “Justice for J6,” that aims to support the insurrectionists charged in the riot.

“I’m not sure I’ll be able to make [the rally], but we know that there were people that were arrested for January 6 activities, and they have been so badly mistreated,” Gohmert said. “So we haven’t given up.”

Its a National embarrassment how this country treats its insurrectionists.

I saw on Facebook that white Christian male insurrectionists are the most oppressed group in America. Makes you think!

Is gaetz in jail yet?

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was some sort of angle-shoot.

Although I guess some thought the same about Trump but he was actually in pretty rough shape it seemed.

It would be very 'Merican for COVID to take out all the Republican Uncle Tom people of color and the rich white dudes just get the sniffles.

Wild ass story

During Peters’ first year as clerk, in 2019, her office was blamed for leaving more than 570 uncounted ballots in a box, long past an election. Less than a year later, one of her office’s drop boxes leaked ballots, sending some floating in the summer breeze. Now Peters has gone underground, reportedly hiding in a safe house provided by Lindell, after she allegedly participated in a breach of Mesa County voting machine data this year. That data soon wound up on conspiracy websites, making Peters a folk hero among the MAGA set and the subject of an FBI investigation.

Good ole 'Mercian conservative projection once again. They think liberals cheat and don’t count ballots because they know that’s what they would do or have done.

This is ridiculous! You need to use all your resources to take back the Senate. Get the thugs out of here!

Sounds like Lindsay was just about to ask for the Seargeant at Arms’ manager.

Would have loved a video of ten senators simultaneously shouting “SHUT THE FUCK UP LINDSEY”.

I’d love to believe that actually happened as written, but ya don’t see a lot of official transcripts formatted as screenplays lol.

Yeah, I think it’s just mocking Graham for being performative.

Dramatized but some of it definitely happened. There were hundreds of recording devices in the room. Maybe someday we’ll see some shit.

At last the senators and their staffs reached their destination — a large hearing room with rows of long tables covered in black cloth.

Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger grabbed a microphone to give an update. He looked pale and shocked. He tried to speak, but his voice kept breaking. He tapped the microphone several times and cleared his throat but the words wouldn’t come out.

Graham lost it. “This is ridiculous!” he shouted. “You all need to use every resource and every weapon to take back the Senate. Get these thugs out of here!”

“Shut up!” Sen. Sherrod Brown shot back, from behind the dais. “Shut up, let him speak!” A police officer took over, as Stenger retreated.
