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

I love that some of these dipshits were actually wearing masks, but made sure to pull them down under their chin to completely exposing their faces while criming. Just, well done folks.

Masks
Wait, they don't love you like I love you

(just obviously don't repeat the same password or use it anywhere else, maybe paranoid but IT security dude + trump supporter isn't a great combination)

i created an account with a slightly difft name and password i haven't used but still got paranoid and deleted the review, lol. cyb3r s3cur1ty with a lot of money probably not worth a drive-by. though it is just a 1 star google review with an fec screenshot. idk my life is too fragile rn i gotta minimize potential conflict points.

these people freak me out a little bit tbh.

can hardly blame you for that

someone give burrito the guy's email address and phone number

Yeah I see someone from my work has like 15 separate donations on the same day for weird specific amounts like $1.87...what’s that about?

They're probably donating $100 or whatever split across a bunch of candidates. actblue splits it across them evenly by default.

sometimes they do a thing like "leave a tip" to defray costs of running actblue...so if you kicked in 10% or 15% that shows as a different donation because it's going to the org, i have some $1 ones like that

map, rather than endangering your own prospects you could simply encourage friends and sympathetic others (like, say, us) to diss said dude

this is worded in a way ("died from events stemming from") that makes me thing mo brooks, ted cruz etc. are going to say it doesn't count https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/capitol-police-officer-dead-after-riot/index.html.

well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Radio gave the average age of coup d'twats as (if I heard correctly) 44, expressing surprise that so many were retirement age.

These lunatic assholes are not even apologetic.

get in the sea hawley you punchable creep

For a lawyer Josh Hawley doesn't understand the Constitution very well.

Oh - you’re accusing me of lying?

Isn’t this you? Your campaign sent out this fundraising message as people were sieging the Capitol. You claimed to be “leading the fight to reject electors.”

Clashes started around 1:20pm. This message was sent after the Capitol was breached. https://t.co/oAf16aHktc pic.twitter.com/qb56RxcfSy

asshole has new vid on twitter

Chortling over Hawley crying about "cancel culture" after he literally tried to cancel an election.

It's even worse than a book burning, they're making a book not exist at all.

If refusing to publish a manuscript is a 1st Amendment violation, there are going to be a lot of writers lawyering up stat.

omg twitter just ban him.

Bud Dwyer vibes from that still, but I'm assuming no since Twitter still has it up with no warning.

Surely constitutional law guy Josh Hawley knows what the First Amendment does and doesn't say.

In case he needs a refresher: the First Amendment says that the Government should not curtail your freedom to speak.

It does NOT say that Simon & Schuster needs to publish your book.

Why is this hard?

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.

A neighbor is a tech founder/managing partner/ex-FAANG and he donated $18k to Trump in the past 8 months. His twitter preaches empathy, social consciousness & climate awareness. IDFGI unless he has so much money that he's just giving it away to everyone as a tax shelter.

Also of course Hawley will still get published by some right-wing press. Hachette has a whole line.

YMP - because these entitled dickwads have never heard the word "no" before, so they can only imagine that hearing it is must mean a fundamental betrayal of their entire worldview.

lol in addition to voting for him my father also donated to him, very cool

He’s lost murdoch

The Editorial Board: If Trump wants to avoid a second impeachment, his best path would be to take personal responsibility and resign. https://t.co/Pu7USKBnCr

Not only did Knopf not publish my thousand-page experimental erotic novel about shellfish, Warner Music Group is not giving me a record deal for my latest double album of sensitive didgeridoo hypno-folk.

Haven't they heard of the First Amendment?

There’s new footage of Capitol cops waving protesters in. Is it just me or this bit not being seriously addressed by American media outlets?

This twitter thread from 2 weeks ago nailed it:

On January 6, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC, at Trump's orders. It's highly likely that they'll try to storm the Capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's win. I don't think this has sunk in yet.

goddamn

Deepfakes have gotten pretty good — there's no way he actually said any of that shit, but other than the one clumsy edit where they switched camera angles for the second take, it seemed pretty realistic.

Hawley is just doing the grievance thing all his voters love so much. He knows the First Amendment is irrelevant, but his voters have only the vaguest idea and Hawley knows how to leverage that ignorance.

yeah it's just PR.

Still doesn't mean I don't him to shut the fuck up and disappear from my brain forever.

hawley and cruz, and the other GOP scumbags who promote insurrections and then seek to slip away from all responsibility - they all use the same playbook these days.

deny. counter-attack. stay.

never admit any wrongdoing. strike back with an accusation twice as intense. and whatever you do, don't resign or leave.

it only works if you have an entire alternate reality, which is whatever the "media ecosystem" is for people like them.

The only thing that Trump video does is give cover to the GOP members in congress cover to say, “see? he is going to peacefully hand over power, no need for any divisive impeachment hearings”.

And it’s gonna work.

if they didn't have that excuse, they'd make up another.

If he’s going to be impeached it’s going to be for refusing to send in the national guard

maga chuds now trying to define "new administration" lmao https://t.co/UuITd7cd9z

Which is why he’s reading from a script about sending them in on the advice of his lawyers.

The House can still impeach with or without GOP votes - and should. By the time it gets to the senate McConnell won't be Majority Leader. If that keeps Trump on good behavior for a week or so, it is well worth it.

I don't know, the psychic tweeter upthread would disagree:

More than a year back, I wondered if Trump would be the first President to be impeached twice. Tonight, members of Congress are seriously considering it. https://t.co/zxWoKkdZPW

he conspicuously claimed that he sent the national guard in "immediately", in his latest twitter video. seemed a touch defensive there

but he’s not peacefully transferring power. he can say he is all he wants but he’s literally doing the opposite of that! saying NOW that he will peacefully transfer power is like saying you’re going to just withdraw what’s in your account after shooting up the bank

It’s too fuckin late for him and he’s unleashed forces even he can’t control.
