And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

it's a police union statement. it is not intriguing. it is a lie. even the true bits are lies.

McEnany about to hold presser

xp - including the word "the". yeah, I get it.

STFU

(xxp) Is there some sort of time lag there, I saw it 5 minutes ago.

She mouthed pieties and left.

.@PressSec condemns the violent Trump mob, takes no questions, ends with this: "Those of us who are working in this building are working to ensure an orderly transition of power. Now it is time for America to unite."

fitting, the only time Trump ever mentioned coming together was the day after he won in 2016, so it's fitting the only other time he pays lip service to it is at the very end.

Hello, i wish all of these people a very get fucked and die

There’s no way trump wants people to unite

dollars to donuts Donald and another person have never ever once come together

Really can't wait until next week when he pulls something even more insane and every member of Congress pretends to be appalled and outraged for 18 hours.

"We condemn the violence that we partially caused yesterday. It is time to unite, *and if you don't do that when we tell you, it's your fault*"

not even. she was careful not to attribute anything she was saying to him personally. it was all "the administration".

Again, astronomical odds that he has ever once given lip service that resulted in someone coming, together or otherwise

not so fucking tough when she's not bombing hospitals from 20,000ft huh https://t.co/j7g1clvBrX

of course he's never meant it. but he didn't even speak of it during his 4 years in office.

didn't even pay lip service to it.

he didn't mean it when he said it in 2016 either

guys I am making come jokes

I thought it was funny

I was enjoying them Hadrian

aw I was aloof sorry

thank you table this is just a sampling of my voluminous cum material

that didn’t come out as I intended

Civilian authoritarianization — elected strongmen who topple institutions from within, often by provoking decentralized violence like in DC — has been one of the most impt global trends of the last 30 years. "Tanks in the streets" is outmoded, as are definitions that look for it.

into the replies of a thing D0uthat quote tweeted that my friend complained about is this gem which reads like a shitpost

My own kids are medicated, can't stand me because I'm conservative, ridicule my faith in God and remind me to pay their Verizon bill and keep the Amazon Prime and Netflix subscription current and fix the hvac in their homes.

sounds like you should stop getting faced by your kids dude

re: that business insider article. Obviously there was complicity from somewhere in federal law enforcement. I think that’s a fair assessment that they presented. Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing people were worried about when Trump went on his DoD firing spree in November and installed more lackeys into roles where they didn’t belong?

The flurry of changes, announced by the Department of Defense in a statement roughly 24 hours after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, has put officials inside the Pentagon on edge and fueled a growing sense of alarm among military and civilian officials, who are concerned about what could come next.

I mean, it’s the type of thing I saw coming. He made moves after the election to make sure he would have more people in place that he could lean on to help him pull off a coup. Surely this is why Barr left as well- he was craven and crooked but not quite as crooked as Trump.

The Capitol Police are not under the DOD.

xp Gonna assume that's John Hickenlooper's dad

If anyone is interested, Viper already made a track about yesterday.

bahahaha

ok, we've got "Republicans are starting to express doubts," "increasingly isolated and alone," "growing sense of alarm," that's halfway to a bingo

And the call to Georgia was just a small piece in his whole plan to overturn the election- it’s the bit that get recorded and leaked, but it’s just a fragment of what he has been working on. Who knows how many other threatening phone calls he’s been making in recent weeks as he worked up to this show of power. The voice mail Rudy tried to leave for Tuberville- it ties together the two plots- disrupting the electoral certification and overturning the individual state results. I mean, the plan was stupid, overcomplicated and destined to fail, but there is no doubt they had a plan that they were convinced would work to overturn the election.

A White House official tells me that people in the West Wing today are "depressed" and that those without jobs already lined up are concerned that they're unemployable.

The Capitol Police are not under the DOD.

I didn’t say they were, but the National Guard and other potential reinforcements that could/should have been there to support are. And they were very mysteriously not deployed until it was too late.

we just need to let him work through the process

xpost not mysteriously, the dude who is responsible for deploying very obviously didn't wanna

unperson, one of the comments on that tweet mentioned that they could just say that they spent the last four years "tending to a sick relative"

At this point, if I worked in the White House I would worry less about not having a job lined up and worry more about being in a line up, or lined up.

a sick relative...named lady liberty!

I know we all know this, but my mind is being eaten from within trying to follow the Moebius strip of a guy who's very obviously trying to steal the election on the grounds that Democrats stole the election

seriously. if you want a fun time, go to https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?committee_id=C00580100&committee_id=C00694323&two_year_transaction_period=2020&min_date=01%2F01%2F2019&max_date=12%2F31%2F2020 and add your employer or your zip code.

oh this is addictive, no one from my work but found my gf's coworker

Pence opposes invoking the 25th, so ...

it's like a guy with a gasoline can in his hand and a lit match standing in front of your house which is burning down and pointing back over the street at his own perfectly intact house and screaming at you that you burned down his house

xposts

Does anyone know why Lin Wood called Pence a 'child molester'? Or is that just a catch-all for anyone who's not 100% pro-Trump 24/7...

found 3 people I have worked with on projects on the list. one of them was a dude who once decided to have a loud argument with his soon to be ex-wife telling her all of the things he was going to do to ruin her life, in the middle of a crowded call center floor. another is just some generic dumb exec.

re: child molestor. Q-Anon absorbed the pizzagate conspiracy theory and expanded it.

they also call Biden a pedophile too. it's their thing

Anti-Trumpers are kiddie fiddlers, Trump only grabs his daughter's ass, that's normal
