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

yep it was straight up murder

#BREAKING WV Delegate Derrick Evans has been taken into federal custody.

He’s charged after allegedly entering a restricted area of the US Capitol with rioters Wednesday.

A woman saying he was his grandmother came out telling us to leave as he was put in a car. #WSAZ pic.twitter.com/wK2RqFcaF7

"A woman saying he was his grandmother" - man, these hillbilly stereotypes about WV just refuse to fade away.

the cop was beaten into a coma by insurrectionists armed with fire extinguishers, according to that Raw Story link about the woman who was trampled to death

100%

Is there a word beyond schadenfreude

i got to level 2 in duolingo german, and i can tell you the word is

Überschadenfreude

thanking u Karl

there's gonna be so much whining about "persecution" and "getting canceled" from rightwing losers

Boyland was knocked to the ground and crushed as crowds breached the Capitol, according to Axios, and suffered a fatal medical emergency.

Does being trampled to death by a mob of crazed Trump supporters really qualify as a 'medical emergency'?

*consults translation dictionary carefully*

kein Problem

i give Lyndsey props for rocking the flip phone though

If the next round of stimulus checks goes out they should be targeted to those who need it. https://t.co/MWvt9EHOBS

You're right: they would've gotten three senators elected in Georgia.

Losing even after you've won xp

manchin should avoid the word "target" and its variants

someone give joe manchin something a gift certificate for bjs maybe?

Then the means test costs more than etc

xps y'all c'mon I assume it was a heart attack

Grandmother: "And thank you Mr. Trump for invikin' a riot at the White House."

Amazing.

Is there a federal ‘felony murder’ statute?

the bullshit with using "people who need it" rubrics is that assuming need by base salary is fallacious af. yeah, once you get into six figures, ok, but people can be making like 60k a year and actually need those checks.

Is there a federal ‘felony murder’ statute?

I know it's not necessarily good of me but I can't help imagining that the last words of the woman who got trampled was "can't you see my flag"

or they made 60k last year and didn't lose their job but now make 20% less xp

shirt is a lil too on the nose imo

i'm thinking she probably wanted to pretend to be a patriot in her dying moments, so she said 'sic...semper...dinosaur" before giving out

exactly

another problem with means testing is it creates a situation where people have to prove they qualify and often end up in bureaucratic hell

lol DJP

So I was just watching the footage of the shooting and everything that led to it (on WaPo) and I'm sure this comparison has been made already, but watching it happen feels like basically just a giant Pizzagate raid. People in that crowd were insistent on going in, like there was actually something important for them to accomplish there. But there wasn't! There was nothing for them to do at all. They weren't even fighting anything real.

wow alright cool

A very significant statement from Joe Biden: "We should be investing in deficit spending in order to generate economic growth."

He notes that borrowing rates are low and says there's a need for an economic infusion now.

word!

damn

you gotta kind of hand it to the guy lol

The amazing thing is that when historians someday write about this week in US politics, they probably won't even mention Trump's Georgia phone call—which in-and-of itself would be the greatest scandal of any other presidential administration.
