it's insane that this fucker is still in office

The 25th is bullshit but Schumer calling impeachment of it doesn’t happen is 100% thanks to AOC being a credible primary threat. Keep punching right.

yep he's cosplaying

No I dont think he is! He’s worried about the primary!

Pelosi statement at 1pm

well he fucking should be

Gaetz yesterday:

"The Washington Times has just reported some pretty compelling evidence from a facial recognition company that some of the people who breached the Capitol today were not Trump supporters,” Gaetz said. “They were masquerading as Trump supporters and, in fact, were members of the violent terrorist group antifa.”

XRVision, the company mentioned in the article replies:

“We concluded that two of [the] individuals (Jason Tankersley and Matthew Heimbach), were affiliated with the Maryland Skinheads and the National Socialist Movements,” the statement reads. “These two are known Nazi organizations, they are not Antifa. The third individual identified (Jake Angeli) was an actor with some QAnon promotion history. Again, no Antifa identification was made for him either.”

warning: twitter link to a video of the shooting and killing of a person in the capitol building

Barr wants a job at a blue chip law firm.

Gaetz pulled that bullshit on the house floor last night!

Nazis? As in National Socialists? Checkmate, libtards.

xps

fucking hell, can we maybe link that video of a murder rather than posting it straight up

GD people have refrained from posting that here xxp

xxxp that's where the quote is from, I think,

jjjusten described Gaetz as "a bag of rabid rats dumped into a human skinsuit" last night

The half-hearted redemptive apologies that we are going to have to suffer from all his enablers for the next few decades is going to be never-ending.

mobs are wild breaking down a door while someone has a gun pointed at you

I think chuck schumer is rightly more afraid right now of having a sociopath in the presidency for another two weeks fomenting violent insurrection and able to command the armed forced of the US into some crazy act against Iran than he is of getting primaried from the left.

My bad. There's a warning on the tweet, video isn't displayed

its hard to say what chuck is thinking have to ask the constituent couple that lives inside his head

Yeah, Schumer is right that Trump needs to go asap. How is it even a questiom

Gaetz pulled that bullshit on the house floor last night!

yeah, i saw it as it happened. i screamed at him.

i agree with the general sentiment that it is fucking SURREAL that he is still president right now, that he's officiating a dumbass award event for fucking golfers today at 11:30 am, and that's the most important event on his calendar for like the last month in a half

If the 25th amendment is not invoked today, Congress must reconvene immediately for impeachment and removal proceedings.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 7, 2021

the golfer awards is the perfect coda to the half ass coup attempt, very cinematic

its hard to say what chuck is thinking

with the way Trump is acting and the whispered reports coming out of the white house, anyone in DC who understands the situation would be insane not to be afraid of Trump staying in that office right now.

yeah its funny insurgent right vaguely understand the shape of a coup, getting the police/military on your side is key, and they are politically aligned with them, but instead of doing the actual work of coopting them they just made up a conspiracy theory that they coopted them, same thing with how they havent done opsec work, they are lazy as shit basically

this is otm and funny

My bad. There's a warning on the tweet, video isn't displayed

This isn't how it work with tweets on ILX, for the record.

yes i read that lagoon post aloud to my wife bc it was otm

xp

q really does provide the answer to all of their questions and/or poor planning

mrs jon not jon, hello

Is there any way to punish or even refuse to seat a congressman like Gaetz or Jordon or one of these true-believer wackadoos? Or even Cruz or Hawley, who one presumes knows better but is still being an asshole? Can *they* be impeached?

Short answer: yes. The House and Senate both have the power to eject their own members.

They can even impeach and remove sitting SCOTUS justices.

Because how can you have a sitting congressman that literally refuses to accept the results of the election and instead spends time furthering lies that are literally destructive to the republic? These assholes have been enabled long enough.

I’m amazed how many of those idiots are filming themselves committing crimes. I know we’ve already discussed upthread their backwards thinking - but almost all of them have their cameras out!

Historically, the Congress has always preferred to marginalize, but tolerate, duly elected whackadoos instead of removing them. It has happened, but so rarely that you could count the instances over the past 240 years on one hand.

there are fucking Q-anon followers in Congress

they literally made t-shirts

how do you stage a coup? make a shirt on tee republic dot com

nuke this country for the greater good imo

how about we don't

Honestly should be some investigations down the road as to which companies printed up those shirts emblazoned with "Civil War" so they don't get supported by anyone else. Judging by the signs these numbnuts have waved, the shirts seem a little more professionally made than I would expect.

Most of their "movement" online exists online. If they don't post it, it didn't happen. The real world is just a meme-staging area.

ONLY exists online, that should say.

Because they don't get punished! it's a feedback loop. Hence Rick Perlstein suggesting the message to more MAGA assholes is just to do it again, because the stakes are so low. And they will do it again.

Nuking would mean the white fascists won. Nope. Not gonna happen.

they literally made t-shirts

iirc there was a washpost series of articles, the week leading up to 1/6/21, that was all about how ultra-right dumbasses were openly making plans on facebook and other public forums to incite chaos in dc

And it's clearly not just online. Some asshole GOP rep was all "this was just a few thousand idiots out of millions of Trump supporters." Is that supposed to make me feel better? Safer?

that's the zazzle.com quality that we've come to expect
