---House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is accusing the Trump supporters who rioted in the Capitol this week of choosing what she calls “their whiteness" over democracy.---

Nancee and the liberal elite so hypocritical.  Anything for a cheap nanny or some minority votes.

Your inability to accept that folks carrying the Confederate Battle Flag, folks carrying the White Supremacist Flag, and admitted neo-Nazis are choosing their whiteness over democracy is so commonplace with you, now, that it approaches boring.

It has nothing to do with your perpetual cry of cheap nannies and even less to do with minority votes. It's called believing the white bigots when they tell you they are white supremacists.

That you feel the need to misspell her name in a misguided effort to somehow diminish her in your own eyes is laughable.

Trump is gearing up as many as four more cycles of murderous violence before Biden’s inauguration in service of this coup. The one thing he’s good at is inciting useless bigots to violence.

There should also be serious consequences for trump attempting to use his office to violate the first amendment rights of Twitter and Facebook, rights they as private entities exercise in banning and deplatforming his extreme ugliness and vile filthy lies.

Josh Hawley is getting the first stirring of a whiff of the blowback he will receive. This is by far the very best day of the entire rest of his career.

I'm not excusing anything.
It's just no surprise to me


The feeling of most Republicans

As they lie to themselves.

As they lie to everyone to try to save their miserable insurrectionist asses.

The Mooch sums up the state of play nicely, as of a couple of days ago

It’s odd to agree so strongly with a former member of the Orange death monster’s cabinet.

14th Amendment, Section 3.

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

It only takes two thirds majority in both houses for trump supporters to hold positions of public trust again. Start with both houses of Congress but narrowly restrict it to only those who voted for challenges to the EC counts (a lot in the house, a few in the Senate) and expand it to anyone in office that any official investigation roots out. This is especially important among the military and police forces. It would be nice to know there are no longer coup supporters on benches or school boards or ag councils either.

It would also bar 70-80% of political appointees in the misadministration, including Jared & Ivanka, though not Don Jr. or Eric, from ever serving as anything again.

Bill Barr will be barred from ever whitewashing another corrupt republican administration for the rest of his miserable life.

In addition, President is an office of the United States by every definition. Is retiree also an office? If so there are some out of office and soon to be out of office who may have something to lose in terms of pensions, health benefits, and taxpayer funded protection.

It can all be helped along by sharing and discussing Amendment 14, Section 3.

Rick Wilson speaking of Trump supporters: these people have a "defiance of reality"

Officer Sicknick was a Trump supporter.  As no doubt a significant number of Capitol Police are/were.

 Trump was elected by the American people to take the country back from the brigades of open borders, sanctuary
cities, political correctness, tolerance, massive and inappropriate immigration etc etc etc...in the era of Brexit.

Trump was thrust into office by the vast right wing conspiracy and Vladimir Putin in furtherance of their many crimes. It has amounted to this. Trump is as bad in government as he is in sport, or family, or business. He’ll have killed half a million Americans,  stolen close to a billion dollars, and destroyed countless institutions and impoverished countless lives by the time the next two weeks are up, all while killing the economy and saddling the US with record debt, while weakening our position in the world.

If China wants Australia for a snack, we may no longer be strong enough to help thanks to trump.

If you want to stay a lap dog, bambi, keep lapping, but your bullshit just embarrasses you and annoys everyone else.
