“Hey, after we take over the capitol and hang some motherfuckers, let’s meet back at the hotel lobby for drinks, cool?”

Why the 25th might work with only 13 days left

You posted above somewhere something that led me to believe you thought it was not a good shoot, but I can’t find it. Maybe I confused your post with somebody else’s.

How the fuck do we manage to elect the stupidest fuckers that ever lived to congress? This is a rhetorical question, nobody needs to answer it. I know how they get elected…

…but JFC. The way that Veritas puts out some bullshit, and then it’s picked up by right wing news, and then it gets to fucking congress, and they spout the shit without ever thinking “this sounds pretty fucking stupid, maybe I should look into this before I get on twitter and/or stand up in the house chambers and start spewing it” is a true mindfuck. Congressional ethics really needs to start putting something together to punish these fucks for spreading unfounded bullshit.

We laugh at Pence for trading a griftable Senate seat for no money and no power, but using Fats McDonald as a metaphorical human shield by hitching that Secret Service detail looks more like a concept out of Fascist Regimes for Advanced Players now after the shit inevitably went down. He was the first one out of there with his own personal Seal Team Six that would (and did) shoot to kill. I’m not saying it’s 7D chess but maybe 2.5D given his former colleagues were sitting ducks protected by Capital Grille police.

Agreed. Always remember that most Republican congress members face no risk of losing to a Democrat, but are at risk of being primaried from the lunatic fringe right. So that’s where they make concessions.

They won’t initiate it unless they know they have 17 GOP Senators. I see no way they get 17 GOP Senators.

Collins
Romney
Murkowski
McConnell
Blunt
Thune
Cotton
Burr
Graham
Loeffler!
Portman
Purdue
Sasse
Toomey
Tillis

That’s only 15 and includes some huge reaches. After that it is true longshots / MEGA deplorables.

This is the difference between individual cops being fascists/racists/whatever and the entire police force behaving as a fascist/racist/whatever entity. You don’t need conscious decisions by any individual to let these people storm the capitol - there were 100 much less consequential decisions that inevitably led to that outcome.

One NATO source set the stage, using terms more commonly used to describe unrest in developing countries.

“The defeated president gives a speech to a group of supporters where he tells them he was robbed of the election, denounces his own administration’s members and party as traitors, and tells his supporters to storm the building where the voting is being held,” the NATO intelligence official said.

"The supporters, many dressed in military attire and waving revolutionary-style flags, then storm the building where the federal law-enforcement agencies controlled by the current president do not establish a security cordon, and the protesters quickly overwhelm the last line of police.

“The president then makes a public statement to the supporters attacking the Capitol that he loves them but doesn’t really tell them to stop,” the official said. "Today I am briefing my government that we believe with a reasonable level of certainty that Donald Trump attempted a coup that failed when the system did not buckle.
